    Reverse no show no call

    JKL33 replied to H K's topic in Nursing Career

    LOL. I could accept if they were appropriately apologetic and told you they would be reaching out to you pronto in hopes that you would be willing to reschedule....oversights and unforeseen...

    Can I still go to nursing school with an academic dishonesty charge?

    JKL33 replied to anonymoussss's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I do not know the answer to your question, just wanted to say I believe you. Though it's a hard thing to admit I would imagine most of us have done something we really, really wish we wouldn't...

    Worried sick. Should I follow my passion for L&D or stay with my job that is excellent for my family?

    JKL33 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Lots of people have some area of interest they'd love to try ("dream job" or whatever) and it's such a persistent desire that they they would have serious regrets if they passed by an opportunity....

    Is my supervisor trying to set me up?

    JKL33 replied to Revolutionaryroad's topic in General Nursing

    I've been silent so far....'cause can't help but turning this over and thinking that, aside from the fact that other patients' medications were used, I'm just not as incredulous about this as some....

    How do I write a statement on this incident?

    JKL33 replied to KENBOS's topic in General Nursing

    Welp, reading comprehension usually above par but not exactly sure what you're saying here. The nurse involved was trying to protect Patient B from Patient X. There is a door involved....

    Help a dsp out

    JKL33 replied to kaysgonehome420's topic in General Nursing

    I was attempting to answer the OP's question regarding whether s/he absolutely had to pass meds (no) and whether or not they could lose their job if they are unwilling to do so (yes). You are...

    Should I choose a school with ATI or HESI?

    JKL33 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    No experience with either one but based on some posts I've seen around here, I would focus more on how the program is used by the school. I would specifically be leery of schools where it's possible...

    Help a dsp out

    JKL33 replied to kaysgonehome420's topic in General Nursing

    Does this mean assigned to pass medications? And now your current employer wants you to go to class that leads to some sort of certification or orientation to passing meds so that you can become...

    Is this a HIPAA issue?

    JKL33 replied to IreneTouTheou's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Correct! 👍🏼 You will find that if people in your social circles know you're a healthcare worker, they will bring up matters related to their health rather frequently. How you handled it is...

    Is this a HIPAA issue?

    JKL33 replied to IreneTouTheou's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Based on the responses we have given you in the past, what do you think the answer is? Usually start with whether or not PHI was accessed, used or disclosed inappropriately. What is your...

    Discharge medications not ready for pickup

    JKL33 replied to tcy12345's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The more appropriate question is whether there is a better process than having an RN stop what they are doing in order to make random phone calls. I would have either turfed it to care management or...

    My co-worker refuses to trade shifts with me

    JKL33 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Agree with the above. I stress not making this about your coworker. This really has nothing to do with the coworker at all. That person has a relationship with the employer and you have a...

    New ER nurse

    JKL33 replied to thatnurse2024's topic in General Nursing

    What EMR are you working with and what are your employer's documentation policies related to assessments? People may have specific advice that take those factors into account. Short of knowing...

    PTO being used by hospital?

    JKL33 replied to Duncan6's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's far more strange that paying it out is not federal law. All your state is saying is, "if part of your way of compensating employees is to have them earn/accrue PTO for hours worked then...

    Call out

    JKL33 replied to BSNRN_'s topic in General Nursing

    Yes, for better or worse that is the life of many working adults. Sometimes working on birthdays. Or on kids' birthdays. Sometimes working on holidays (or the hours before/after a holiday). Many...

    Self Guilt Leaving Bedside

    JKL33 replied to A.cocke9's topic in General Nursing

    What is the basis of this guilt? Examples: - A belief that your skills are more needed at the job you are leaving than the job you are taking - Feeling bad that the old job could have...

    PTO being used by hospital?

    JKL33 replied to Duncan6's topic in General Nursing

    Many times I don't answer these questions by whether or not they are typical. Lots of undesirable things are typical from employers. The question is, is it tolerable to you? Is it acceptable. I...

    I HATE cleaning poop

    JKL33 replied to Lilrn's topic in General Nursing

    I can't believe I didn't immediately remember this: When I was a new grad still on orientation in my first job, my patient had a large wound of the inferior abdomen, a leaking colostomy pumping out...

    I HATE cleaning poop

    JKL33 replied to Lilrn's topic in General Nursing

    I hope there are not a slew of responses suggesting you (OP) feel this is beneath you and that you need to buck up and do nursing work. I think we can be more insightful than that. I got the idea...

    New grad FNP. Is this normal for urgent care?

    JKL33 replied to cutiepie2012's topic in Nursing Career

    Find a way out. Get out of there. Sorry this is

    Leaving my first nursing job before 1 year?

    JKL33 replied to newgradRN267's topic in General Nursing

    I would stay put. Being a new grad is hard in general and nursing affects one's mental health in general, especially the dynamics of getting settled into a first role. You haven't said anything to...

    New Grad NP Working Alone

    JKL33 replied to LuckystarNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This sounds positively ridiculous. They aren't giving you many options besides looking elsewhere if there is no real ramp-up period/orientation, no one who can actually mentor you due to their own...

    Patient abandonment question

    JKL33 replied to Jackson1322's topic in General Nursing

    May I ask why the attitude? Someone who happens to be a well-respected very helpful member here is spending their time doing Google for you? You could apologize. I'm sure the situation you posted...

    Is taking this photo a HIPAA violation?

    JKL33 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    The OP portrays this as if there's no policy or other way to report a concern, which is very likely not true. The thing to do in the described scenario would be to follow the facility's written...

    Have any of you ever left a tourniquet on a patient after an iv start?

    JKL33 replied to Mursechico's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. Unfortunately this is yet another zombie post back from the dead because someone had something to say about a topic discussed almost a decade ago
