    Is someone justified in harassing someone to tell them if they got vaccinated or not?

    JKL33 replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I know some people that are not vaccinated, have no intention of getting vaccinated. They're apparently comfortable with their position, why shouldn't I be? A couple of people I already knew their...

    Is someone justified in harassing someone to tell them if they got vaccinated or not?

    JKL33 replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No, I get that. It's just that medical care, in general, can be obtained confidentially. If someone's rabid anti-vaxxer neighbor sees them in a waiting room or at a healthcare provider, they are not...

    Giving Medication to Coworker

    JKL33 replied to TxERNurse's topic in General Nursing

    LOL...not familiar with ED shenanigans are we? ? Historically? Everybody's a little more cowboy down here than they should be. Okay, a number of people tend to be that way. Hmm. If I had to...

    Is someone justified in harassing someone to tell them if they got vaccinated or not?

    JKL33 replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I can't find the right emoji for this; it's something between eyeroll and smirk. But maybe I'm just naïve. Is this official suggesting that despite the fact that one can receive, as a matter of...

    Is someone justified in harassing someone to tell them if they got vaccinated or not?

    JKL33 replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Well I wouldn't say that deciding to reveal the info to a friend or coworker who asks is similar to standing in the middle of the road and annoying passersby with the information. So I'd probably just...

    I made a mistake!

    JKL33 replied to DH1234's topic in General Nursing

    Forget what they think. Going to correct you just a little ? -- if you were going to feel off about anything it would be your patients' procedures being delayed. Not what coworkers might think....

    Giving Medication to Coworker

    JKL33 replied to TxERNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure how this lack of judgment doesn't end up being a big deal. ^ This. And "medication from the ER" = stolen/theft. But--real world? It's going to depend on a lot of variables...

    Quitting first RN job

    JKL33 replied to wideyedfreedom's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for providing thoughtful answers. I was asking these things because the answers can help you understand the likelihood of the grass being greener elsewhere, as in--if you're being...

    Quitting first RN job

    JKL33 replied to wideyedfreedom's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, well, at the 1-year mark it should be slightly easier (as far as tasking, housekeeping items, knowing protocols, knowing charting mechanisms, etc.). But it would be a mistake to think that the 1...

    Quitting first RN job

    JKL33 replied to wideyedfreedom's topic in General Nursing

    A few of very important questions: 1. Are your assignments (or any other significant thing about your unit) objectively unsafe? Like, would most knowledgeable RNs hear the details and advise you...

    Please help! Which job offer should I take???

    JKL33 replied to cmyr711's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If you're not going to relocate then really don't take that job. That's a crazy amount of time on the road if you're talking 2 hours each

    What I Hate About Nursing In 2021

    JKL33 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I hope these are not waking you. Do Not Disturb. Select the people you want to be able to ring

    How Should I Respond to a Bad Clinical Eval?

    JKL33 replied to lcb's topic in General Students

    Probably. NOPE!! Well, shoot. I guess in that case you might contact the instructor who wrote these comments and ask for a meeting. Not sure what exactly you'd say, though....

    Music Tempo in Chest Compressions

    JKL33 replied to 18millionminutesago's topic in General Nursing

    No it definitely isn't safe to say that. My life runs on music. ? Don't take offense. I just think it's interesting and that it's possibly more a fun idea than a useful tool for most people. I...

    Music Tempo in Chest Compressions

    JKL33 replied to 18millionminutesago's topic in General Nursing

    Whenever this topic comes up I wonder how it works IRL. It isn't any kind of a given that people would sing a song to themselves at the published tempo. It seems to me that when a person starts...

    Type C

    JKL33 replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I think on this thread we're describing internal processes that resonated with us individually that allowed us to get to a personally healthy place as far as how we feel about patients. It's just...

    I don't want to be Charge!

    JKL33 replied to Ioreth's topic in General Nursing

    As an aside, I know every place is different but this is a program I have never gone along with and never would. I don't feel that reporting patient conditions to a peer who happens to be filling the...

    I don't want to be Charge!

    JKL33 replied to Ioreth's topic in General Nursing

    If I were put into a charge situation like what you are describing, even with plenty of staff and charge experience, I would limit my sense of responsibility to 1) my patient assignment 2) assistance...

    Dilemma

    JKL33 replied to rtx's topic in General Students

    Yeah, if the preceptor needs to receive feedback that is someone else's issue and has nothing to do with this student. I wrote all I did because....let's learn the ways of the world, here.

    Dilemma

    JKL33 replied to rtx's topic in General Students

    Not good. You should have found other relevant activities with the time you had. I agree that for your own part leaving was unprofessional. Realistically? This is likely happening to preempt you...

    What to do when patient refuses wearing a name band?

    JKL33 replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    A little off-topic but I don't think this is true. Patients being identified using two identifiers is a NPSG (national patient safety goal) but always good to understand when an employer's way of...

    NEED CAREER ADVICE!

    JKL33 replied to NurseChristinaB's topic in General Nursing

    Not trying to dissuade you and I completely understand making a parenting decision with a goal of correcting something from the past or feeling like you are correcting course, so-to-speak. I think...

    Anything wrong with speaking out about staffing issues at work?

    JKL33 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    I do believe that management is asked for the impossible at least as much as staff nurses are. Same manager as I referenced above - was a good person. Was even-keeled, reasonable and working very hard...

    Are nurses really leaving nursing in droves?

    JKL33 replied to Mqshell's topic in General Nursing

    Easy. Retaining nurses bring them other problems that they dislike even more than their recruiting

    Anything wrong with speaking out about staffing issues at work?

    JKL33 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Like x 100. At least for me the situation itself may be the main irritation, but it's the lying about it or the disingenuous expectations and actions taken in the face of it that blows everything...
