    First Big Error - Advice Needed

    JKL33 replied to NewRNontheBlock21's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, and he could have been noted to be hypoglycemic during the procedure even if you had checked it when you regularly would have. That isn't to say that you shouldn't make note of this--you should....

    Go While You Can...Raise the Pay!!

    JKL33 replied to John Salyers's topic in General Nursing

    Our compassion for sure. I don't mean to be a broken record but there are some other features they have tapped into, specifically our self-deprecation, our tendency to take responsibility for problems...

    JKL33 posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    US Hospitals Hit With Nurse Staffing Crisis Amid COVID A few choice quotes: Mmm, demoralized and...greedy! My eyeballs actually don't roll back far enough for this ^ one. ?...

    Go While You Can...Raise the Pay!!

    JKL33 replied to John Salyers's topic in General Nursing

    I give them about 6 months or less to start announcing their own staffing companies or some other scheme to eliminate their need for procuring workers through non-affiliated agencies. I also believe...

    Pregnant, when do you start light duty?

    JKL33 replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    What I mean is that if an employee has restrictions per the advice of their healthcare provider and can't perform their role, it is really the employer's responsibility to have a policy to handle that...

    Opinions Please

    JKL33 replied to Running with bears's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Relocate or else look for job offers closer to home. This will be a nightmare unless you can stay in the area either full-time or at least whenever you are working. Next, rotating every week? NO....

    Is this typical of most doctors?

    JKL33 replied to MarkMyWords's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    The doctors I'm around don't work that way. It's hard to say what the situation is. I have seen a lot of patients (including my own family members, occasionally) misread doctors' behavior based on...

    Are there any decent hospitals left in NYC?

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

    I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't too great anywhere right now. BUT...we've been hearing this "it's like this everywhere" stuff forever. Employers do, to some degree, want you to worry about exactly...

    New lvn and very little orientation?

    JKL33 replied to Rachana Ra's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This is a theory, it could be completely incorrect: Nursing employers are having a decent amount of staff attrition right now; reportedly quite a bit more than usual--which already wasn't good in...

    JKL33 replied to Faithful2's topic in First Year After Licensure

    @Faithful2, Sorry to hear of your struggles. None of us here are your medical provider nor can we offer medical advice. I am going to say, though, that if I were talking with a friend...

    Return to work advice

    JKL33 replied to Alararn89's topic in General Nursing

    Wonder if any maternal-infant-early childhood programs around you need help? Or if that role is even feasible as far as meeting your needs. I have no experience with that. It's just that hospitals...

    Using Your Nursing Credentials to Validate Anti-Vaxxer Theories

    JKL33 replied to Helen Crump's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Generally, yes I do think that is observable. My post was about what no one wants to talk about. Which is that we have a problem where we want to maintain our great disdain for...

    Pity Party - US Hospitals Hit With Nurse Staffing Crisis Amid COVID

    JKL33 replied to JKL33's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Don't disagree with your general comment. I do think nurses should run with eyes wide open if they're going to run away (from direct employment by hospital corporations/large health systems). For...

    Having Trouble Following The Narrative

    JKL33 replied to Guest219794's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Regarding this point. I think part of the problem is that healthcare providers' decision-making is meddled with by other forces, I mean, that is inarguable. We ourselves complain about it....

    Using Your Nursing Credentials to Validate Anti-Vaxxer Theories

    JKL33 replied to Helen Crump's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Sorry for the backtrack, here. We do need to elevate our expectations and apply them much more evenly than we typically do as a society. In my opinion random comments from various public...

    I Am Absolutely Miserable Because I Hate Being A Nurse

    JKL33 replied to PerkyWallflower10's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, it really is. Especially when this can't fairly be called a temporary situation that can be powered through with some kind of end in sight. Do make sure that you are in a good enough mental...

    Nursing School A Mistake

    JKL33 replied to wogatu's topic in General Students

    If you don't enjoy the subject matter that is a red flag. May I ask what kind of thoughts you had about nursing before you started the program? At one point you felt you really wanted to pursue...

    JKL33 replied to grammieRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Fair to say that some are. Others verbalize views that seem to be more focused along lines to which the analogy easily applies: Just not wanting to be told that they should do something, because...

    Using Your Nursing Credentials to Validate Anti-Vaxxer Theories

    JKL33 replied to Helen Crump's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Will nurses in the ER soon hear the following?

    JKL33 replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Ah. Yes. I can see how that scenario could play out. I wasn't sure if this post was about vaccine resisters feeling forced to get vaccinated (due to mandates) and then being belligerent or being...

    Will nurses in the ER soon hear the following?

    JKL33 replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I routinely ask people what they mean before assuming if I'm not sure. I try to anyway. If I choose to assume and am wrong then I will feel stupid and will risk having to read a lecture about not...

    Will nurses in the ER soon hear the following?

    JKL33 replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don't understand who and what this is in reference to. People who have decided to get vaccinated? Are people who have not been vaccinated not being taken care of in emergency departments?...
