    Would Flo Have Used a Segway?

    JKL33 replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Judging from all the recent school essays or hopeful-writer columns that have been posted here it seems Flo probably wouldn't have done what the essayist doesn't currently approve of. When I saw...

    New nurse feeling like she made a mistake in transferring to the NICU/CCN

    JKL33 replied to Nurse12390's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Seems like there are two basic choices: Speak up/change this up or leave. If you're going to stay I'd (visibly) stop feeling bad about needing to learn. Take the assertive track; don't approach people...

    Question about patient abandonment

    JKL33 replied to Grande_latte04's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I don't know, but I wouldn't work in a place where those I am supervising get off scot-free when they leave the facility for hours. I can almost guarantee you there is more badness you just don't know...

    Possible Accidental HIPAA Violation

    JKL33 replied to kaliandr's topic in General Nursing

    Doubtful any need to panic. Think of ways to be conversational without saying anything in particular for situations like this. There are lots of comments. You can't talk about other patients'...

    FNP Clinical Experiences can be great - or ROUGH

    JKL33 replied to MultipNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    She is a miserable person. She doesn't feel good about herself. I think there is a way to make good on this unfortunate experience by gaining insight to be able to recognize this in the future....

    Calculating Intake and Output

    JKL33 replied to lexieanders's topic in General Students

    - Wouldn't be surprised if the popsicles are less than oz listed, kind of like ice chips. - You wouldn't do 100 * 12 for the NS; they told you it was only running for 3 hrs.; = 300. That...

    Knock knock. Who's there? HIPAA. HIPAA who?

    JKL33 replied to Joe V's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Yes. The applicable laws and the spirit of the applicable laws. That's what I try to do. I can't comment further. As I already mentioned I have not personally witnessed any shadows of the...

    Setting my orientee up for failure?

    JKL33 replied to NightNerd's topic in General Nursing

    I think it sounds like you have tried really hard on your end of things! ? In case my comments read as a critique of what you have tried to do, I want to clarify that they were specifically about...

    Setting my orientee up for failure?

    JKL33 replied to NightNerd's topic in General Nursing

    PS - another benefit of regular meetings is that on the rare occasion when things are actually going quite poorly and the new grad may not be able to successfully come off orientation, it can be said...

    Setting my orientee up for failure?

    JKL33 replied to NightNerd's topic in General Nursing

    I have always advocated that all orientees should be given the benefit of regular, pre-planned meetings held in a format for open discussion of how the orientation is going with manager (or educator...

    How often can you transfer between floors

    JKL33 replied to debcornett's topic in General Nursing

    It is really specific to the hospital. I would think that for most, though, if they are still in the process of training you they would not want to continue using resources to complete your training...

    Nurse order botox without MD order

    JKL33 replied to milo&otis's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Ohhh....so you didn't mean ordering, as in a provider writing a nursing order to give a patient a medication, but ordering as in ordering stock/supplies for the clinic. I don't have much to say...

    Nurse Personality Change

    JKL33 replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure if basic personality changed. Definitely different responses to things though. I chalk that up to a combo of experiences, introspection, wisdom gained and hard work. I do think I have moved...

    Switching career to RN

    JKL33 replied to nursenp's topic in General Nursing

    While training for and working in those roles might help you get your feet wet in healthcare world/periphery of nursing, I do not think that you can bridge online to RN. I am not aware of any online...

    Unprofessional Clinical Educator.. What would you do?

    JKL33 replied to hama1111's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah I guess it kind of goes without saying. ? I'm aware; I just can't help myself. In this case I generally dislike the assumption that staff nurses are ignorant of the "LAWS" that supposedly dictate...

    Giving pain meds to SCD during warmed fluid infusion

    JKL33 replied to Sammieee's topic in Patient Medications

    Storage and handling involves things like transportation and actual storage. Don't unload these pallets and leave them out in the heat or store them next to the boiler or whatever, etc. Many...

    Nurse Called Police/CPS on Parents over Jaundice

    JKL33 replied to Simply Complicated's topic in General Nursing

    I wish posts would auto-lock after a certain time. This was a case of a first-time poster bumping a 10-year-old thread with a new complaint that we can't even help with anyway.

    Unprofessional Clinical Educator.. What would you do?

    JKL33 replied to hama1111's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not at all unfamiliar with the actual requirements for documentation and my comment wasn't a rally cry against basic documentation. Nor was it a complaint about EHR vs. paper. I also don't...

    New Nurse Making Mistakes

    JKL33 replied to NewNurse_20's topic in Emergency

    Perfect. Another great lesson: See - now you know this is bull. This and every other drama like it. Never underestimate others' penchant for drama. I know it is very nerve-wracking...

    Knock knock. Who's there? HIPAA. HIPAA who?

    JKL33 replied to Joe V's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Yes. I have heard others' information/goings-on next door while sitting in a thin-walled exam room without even trying to eavesdrop. I am not sure what the answer is, except that each of us...

    Nurse order botox without MD order

    JKL33 replied to milo&otis's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    The problem is that the double-check idea has become perverted in a setting where there are a lot of pressures and even more contrived/created pressure of related to time ("efficiency"). I don't...

    Nurse order botox without MD order

    JKL33 replied to milo&otis's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    The key is that all of these orders that nurses think they are ordering independently where the provider's name magically populates actually do need to come from somewhere. They are either a verbal,...

    HIPAA question

    JKL33 replied to Lft's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Yes. HIPAA doesn't prevent appropriate documentation or reviewing to make sure nothing was forgotten or any of

    HCA StaRN contract

    In terms of what was in writing, in what way did they not uphold

    I don’t know if I want to be a nurse anymore

    JKL33 replied to Vigirl465's topic in General Nursing

    Have an evaluation by your PCP to make sure your physical and/or mental health is in order. That's the first step here based on what you wrote. Don't try to make any more big decisions without...
