    Want to work in ER

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

    I wouldn't worry about this. There are a vast number of ED patients with downright med/surg complaints. You wouldn't be able to pick up ED shifts without ED training. Picking up shifts means you...

    Can you choose DRN and full treatment in the POLST?

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

    Section A states that it is to indicate what they want done if they have no pulse and are not breathing. So if your patient is in full arrest s/he does not desire any efforts to resuscitate....

    New Grad Fired From First RN Job After 90 Days

    JKL33 replied to ChinupNewRN21's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yes. That's why we urge caution with the contracts. They promise very little in writing yet they obligate the new grad legally even if conditions are significantly worse than portrayed during the...

    New Grad Fired From First RN Job After 90 Days

    JKL33 replied to ChinupNewRN21's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Job Negotiating Advice

    JKL33 replied to DH1234's topic in General Nursing

    You've gained something like 10-12K here. Good job. I agree with both the above posters. It's up to you, but just like you don't have to take a job that's seriously too little money, they really have...

    Have you worked with a GOAT in healthcare?

    JKL33 replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. Two of them. And I am so lucky that I met each of them when they were orienting me. The first was my preceptor in my new grad specialty and the second oriented me to a new specialty years later....

    JKL33 replied to Kelaaax3's topic in General Nursing

    It's understandable that you might feel bad about this situation in general, but you and your leaving are definitely not the problem here. You need to get a different perspective. You should not feel...

    Sign On Bonuses, Tuition Assistance, Hospital Benefits

    JKL33 replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    The big player monopolizing my region is offering sign-on bonuses for non-professional office staff. As for professional positions system-wide, not only are there not sign-on bonuses, they give no...

    Rant About Covid Antivaxxers

    JKL33 replied to SunDazed's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This is definitely a point of ignorance and misunderstanding and has been an aspect of vaccine education that we haven't been clear about...for any of the conditions we are vaccinating against....

    HOSPITAL FACTORS to want to work there

    JKL33 replied to Mursemade's topic in General Nursing

    Seems like respect covers all of them. If you respect someone you don't generally take advantage of them in any of the other ways mentioned or any yet to be

    PRN Nursing Benefits Questions

    JKL33 replied to dlalton's topic in General Nursing

    You are talking about two separate issues; paying taxes and saving for retirement. You should talk to a financial advisor; either one in your locality that has a good reputation or a larger firm....

    JKL33 replied to Serenity Mirabito MSN RN OCN's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm...it's second nature and I don't really even think about it. ? Just not in the way. LOL. Generally speaking I just stretch, press or pull (provide traction) in whatever way is necessary to...

    Delta Variant is Spreading Like Wildfire in Florida

    JKL33 replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Thanks for the clarification. So...I don't love talking about polls for reasons already stated. But I sort of think that the above info (to the extent it can be trusted) lends itself to what I...

    Delta Variant is Spreading Like Wildfire in Florida

    JKL33 replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    In May it was 71%, in June it was 66% and in July it was 28%?? Well, that's wonderful, I think? I mean, if you're gonna take the survey at face value? In 2 months we have gone from 71% who will...

    Delta Variant is Spreading Like Wildfire in Florida

    JKL33 replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That's possible. I am only gauging by my IRL experiences. I don't know how I would know the truth of anything by trying to gauge what people say online. I have pretty much no experience with...

    Harassment in Nursing School

    JKL33 replied to JJWiley's topic in General Students

    You can do it. We are often stronger than we think we are. I'll be pulling for you. I hope you post an update when you're officially out of there! That's the goal at this point. Successfully get...

    Delta Variant is Spreading Like Wildfire in Florida

    JKL33 replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    1. They are spreading harmful disinformation 2. I don't know who they are or what any of their IRL affiliations are, and neither do you 3. Their information should be rebutted with facts if...

    Delta Variant is Spreading Like Wildfire in Florida

    JKL33 replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    So, part of what I suspect is that there is a very small subset of people who actually have zero interest, believe the government is out to get them and destroy their way of life, and they will...

    Delta Variant is Spreading Like Wildfire in Florida

    JKL33 replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm sorry about that. I have had a number of real life conversations where people either 1) changed their mind 2) toned things down or 3) at the very least retreated/ceased to have a credible voice in...

    Delta Variant is Spreading Like Wildfire in Florida

    JKL33 replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I agree. But when you are talking about persuading the people you want to persuade, the question becomes "is it effective at persuading them." I was actually going to use your abortion example as...

    Delta Variant is Spreading Like Wildfire in Florida

    JKL33 replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I had a guess; specifically I didn't want to assume their reasoning for using it. Then you haven't read all I have written. I have specifically stated my preferred approach and the fact that I...

    Delta Variant is Spreading Like Wildfire in Florida

    JKL33 replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I agree. So an honest appraisal of the use of the term "pro-disease" would be that "I use it because it makes me feel better; it is a way for me to express
