    Management Progression Assistance

    JKL33 replied to HOPEforRNs's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it's so much that they want to make you struggle up through the ranks as it is that your leadership experience has a different enough focus that you quite possibly don't have the actual...

    SOON TO BE NEW GRAD NEEDING ADVICE!

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

    I don't think it's a bad idea at all. Based on many, many accounts here and elsewhere I've come to believe that too many of the residencies are little more than a promising-sounding job offering...

    Bad shift after bad shift

    JKL33 replied to newnursemoon's topic in General Nursing

    Not much to say about this situation except that it isn't worth it to engage with people who don't care what your input is, like your manager. "explained my side to my manager" makes me...

    Oncoming Shift Nurses Complaining about Assignments

    JKL33 replied to Joanne15's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    There is zero cause for your coworkers to be upset with you, their peer, over something that is ultimately the employer's responsibility. They should be ashamed of themselves for lashing out at a peer...

    Vaccinated and Hospitalized?

    JKL33 replied to ajdizzle43's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I am sorry you were so ill. And it sounds like still having to deal with after-effects of your acute illness. I might be slow tonight--I'm not sure what you are saying with some of the wording of...

    Career advice

    JKL33 replied to Liv26's topic in General Nursing

    Can you elaborate more on what you don't like about it? Also, do you have a pre-existing problem with anxiety? Not trying to pry but these things are important

    16 Hour Shifts

    JKL33 replied to Skc59's topic in General Nursing

    I think you have to decide if the pay is worth it, if you are able perform your duties safely while you're there and if you can physically/mentally handle it. Doubtful they will change their mind...

    Nursing Staffing Post COVID Quagmire...

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

    Late to the comment but will respond anyway. I hope you'll rethink this. Hospitals aren't rough for new grads because seasoned nurses have a martyr attitude. Hospitals are rough because they...

    Drug Chart (Can Nurses Enter Administration Times)

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

    Ditto. Also have never been exposed to any big to-do regarding nurses writing in times based on frequency if that is how a particular place wishes to do it. It doesn't take a rocket scientist or a...

    Question: What does "Continuous pulse ox monitoring" mean to you?

    JKL33 replied to Vicki17's topic in First Year After Licensure

    S/he is completely wrong, possibly scary. And....it isn't just that it has to be able to be seen if someone walks in the room, but continuous monitoring means that it needs to have an alarm...

    Conflict of Interest?

    JKL33 replied to 86toronado's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Is this person employed by the facility as a PRN LPN and also doing something or other on the side for the physician as an LPN? Or is she simply showing up at the facility and "rounding"...

    Well you didn't lose immunity after just two years...but after the amount of time it been since you were vaccinated, right? You just happened to check this two different times during the years after...

    ADVICE

    JKL33 replied to royalRN's topic in General Nursing

    Inpatient Onc experience here, too. My opinion is that in inpatient oncology you will find the type of nurses who are "nurse's nurse." You have the opportunity to get good at every aspect of nursing...

    Externship preceptor

    JKL33 replied to Rin nohara's topic in General Nursing

    Well...okay: The main thing you should learn from this experience is that you can't internalize others' poor behavior as if it is your own personal problem or defect. There are a lot of bad...

    Role Transition Advice

    JKL33 replied to pandora1212's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Different opinion here: I am not sure you need to feel inspired. This is another part of the educational process that you need to get through so you can come out on the other side. It's icing on the...

    Questions on HIPAA and school

    JKL33 replied to peaceful nurse's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    It seems like your organization is probably a "covered entity" (subject to HIPAA), although depending on details I supposed you could be covered by FERPA and not HIPAA. If you are covered by...

    Manager wants us back in office...

    JKL33 replied to rn30's topic in General Nursing

    Realistically? They are going to do what they want to do. It would be interesting to ask your manager the rationale. If you're real brave you could email both of them together (manager and director)...

    Seeking new job after 5 months

    JKL33 replied to Margo31's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You would likely need to use the same references you used to get your first job. Just apply to the jobs you're interested in. Before you do that you should spend some time contemplating what made...

    Experienced critical care RN having a hard time dealing with a bully boss. Advice?

    JKL33 replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, yes. I'm aware and DGAS. I like to keep my distance from the particularly vile version of dysfunctional and limit their power. If they think they've won the joke's on them because they're stuck...
