    Delta Variant is Spreading Like Wildfire in Florida

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

    - Because if those are the messages being sent they aren't being received by anyone who doesn't already see things that way. It isn't like this clever relabeling is a bona fide educational campaign,...

    To stay, or leave CVICU/bedside all together?

    JKL33 replied to hannah4832's topic in General Nursing

    You made it through orientation and were given positive feedback. If you weren't doing okay from others' perspectives then they would've let you know. Don't pick apart every move and every...

    Who do I give my resignation letter to?

    JKL33 replied to NursePetite's topic in General Nursing

    Someone is your upline even if you have no manager or director. I would find out who is responsible for your unit/floor right now. Someone is. It has probably been added onto the plate of a...

    Have you read your company's procedures and policies?

    JKL33 replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    An example I remember is trying to help a new grad find a policy about flushing a central line their patient had. I knew the flush recommendations for that line but was trying to do the right thing...

    New Grad Fired From First RN Job After 90 Days

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

    Although there's a (very) small possibility they could be talking about checking your references and verifying past employment, they likely would've done that much before making a conditional job...

    Fired (Wrongfully?) And It Hurts

    JKL33 replied to joansmith1's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I should've said it is sad more than anything. But the reason I wrote out everything I did is because seeing outside oneself and the opportunity to think of things differently has the potential...

    New Grad Fired From First RN Job After 90 Days

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

    Now this is a good example of something for the new grad to be worried about. There are posts about new grad contracts with some frequency here on AN; usually the posts involve a difficult workplace...

    Harassment in Nursing School

    JKL33 replied to JJWiley's topic in General Students

    Your situation sounds ridiculous and am sorry to hear about it. I'm surprised, though, that you've never before come across people who don't feel good about themselves and have nothing more...

    Fired (Wrongfully?) And It Hurts

    JKL33 replied to joansmith1's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. Another thought: My observation is that a significant portion of my coworkers do participate in run-of-the-mill drama without even realizing it. I'm not talking about the really dramatic...

    Second Thoughts on Becoming a Nurse

    JKL33 replied to ThePrudentStudent's topic in General Nursing

    No. Yes. Not sure. My life is good and nursing itself has allowed some freedoms, benefits and opportunities I might not have otherwise had. I love interacting with patients and providing nursing...

    Is it too soon to panic? (Hate my new job)

    JKL33 replied to NurseLy's topic in General Nursing

    I would. Of course it all kind of depends on why you switched things up in the first place and what weight those reasons carry in light of the new information you have at your disposal now. These...

    New Grad Fired From First RN Job After 90 Days

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

    Did I Do The Right Thing?

    JKL33 replied to Anon1423's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    OP, I hope your manager has been able to talk this through with you or reassure you in some way. Of course you did what was ethically correct and what you are legally mandated to do. Whether this...

    Forgot To Renew ?

    Reporting an unsafe surgeon

    JKL33 replied to PamJRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues
