    Unvaccinated: Indefensible

    JKL33 replied to guest1168940's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I sincerely don't understand why these ^ things would scare people away from getting the vaccine. To me they are reasons to take action to mitigate the effects of covid-19 infection and the spread of...

    Pregnant, when do you start light duty?

    JKL33 replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    If numerous staff are being given light duty and it is causing a problem on the unit then some of the employer's policies aren't well thought out. I've never worked where everyone was allowed to...

    Preceptor Made Me Feel Like I Should Leave Nursing

    JKL33 replied to Nurse12390's topic in General Nursing

    So, without making excuses for anything or explaining it or downplaying it: It comes down to this: You have to decide what you are going to do in the face of basically the world not being...

    Why some nurses use the word "endorsement"?

    JKL33 replied to Leonardo Del Toro's topic in General Nursing

    Was thinking about this again and realized why I kind of like the word. "Reports" -- we usually use that for what the patient states/reason for visit, whereas in the ROS there are often other...

    Why some nurses use the word "endorsement"?

    JKL33 replied to Leonardo Del Toro's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, and I think it's actually a bit better than "admits to," as if someone got caught shoplifting or something. ? But "Pt reports...." works just

    The Art of Delegating | What Nurses Do

    JKL33 replied to JeanstarMSN's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately I would phrase as follows: You arrive to work again today, get your assigned patients and realize the unit is short-staffed because that is someone's idea of lean and efficient...

    Preceptor Made Me Feel Like I Should Leave Nursing

    JKL33 replied to Nurse12390's topic in General Nursing

    ?? Yeah, with regard to what the OP's preceptor said, a prudent and concerned preceptor would have handled it differently if they truly didn't think their orientee was ready for a challenge. "The...

    Importance of NP Grades

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

    Opinion: If you plan to practice as a clinician then the amount of time you invest is about your future patients, not (just) about grades. To the extent that aiming for As can be related to aiming for...

    Unvaccinated: Indefensible

    JKL33 replied to guest1168940's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think they were stating their own view/motivation. It is important to counter the false narrative that persons of purported faith are weaponizing against their (more sincere) peers. It's such a...

    Unvaccinated: Indefensible

    JKL33 replied to guest1168940's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I have had some interface with persons of purported faith IRL over this, and find it mindboggling. As if these people don't hold their children's hands when in a busy parking lot! I just don't get it....

    Unvaccinated: Indefensible

    JKL33 replied to guest1168940's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I will respectfully ask you to consider that many of us who have received the vaccine did not do so from a point of fear but rather from a mindset of taking advantage of a marvel of medical science...

    Unvaccinated: Indefensible

    JKL33 replied to guest1168940's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Just thought I would check, user names aren't required to reflect posters' current work. So I guess you're saying that a hospice patient died and that means that the vaccine doesn't

    Preceptor Made Me Feel Like I Should Leave Nursing

    JKL33 replied to Nurse12390's topic in General Nursing

    Just read @caffeinatednurse's replay and agree with much of it. This does sound a nurse who is a bit particular and I'm one of those myself. The underlying motivation is taking good care of...

    Preceptor Made Me Feel Like I Should Leave Nursing

    JKL33 replied to Nurse12390's topic in General Nursing

    There are 3 basic options: Leave, confront, ignore. What you do depends on your assessment of the situation and your personal preferences. If I were the one facing this I would probably take the...

    Unfair Grading

    JKL33 replied to RoseTh93's topic in General Students

    @RoseTh93, Various thoughts I hope you will read and internalize: I greatly prefer fairness, too. Who doesn't? But some of us (self included) can't help but tune in when there seems to be a...

    Roommates

    JKL33 replied to FutureRN7's topic in General Students

    My comments aren't related to judging you. I was going to respond that how it will go is solely up to you. On further thought, that is not true. I think it would be very prudent to review...

    JKL33 replied to Raven Sierra's topic in Emergency

    You're about to find out what it's like when nobody cares if you know what's going on but you're still responsible for things! Maybe the nurse is just generally a decent person and that's why you...

    Pushed by quacks, use of Ivermectin is poisoning people

    JKL33 replied to nursej22's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Okay, I still don't have a good idea of how big a problem the horse paste thing is. Given the number of articles that refer to ivermectin (only) as a medication for deworming horses and not an...

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

    JKL33 replied to JKL33's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Very wise. My one career regret so far is some sort of period of denial; I just could not believe how things were going and since I had pretty much loved my hospital experiences up to that point I...
