    Thoughts On Eliminating Nurse Report

    JKL33 replied to Lovethenurse2b25's topic in General Nursing

    I am against this and don't believe that report is unimportant. I suspect some people feel superior when they can dismissively state that they don't need to hear a report because they can read the...

    Nurse Called Police/CPS on Parents over Jaundice

    JKL33 replied to Simply Complicated's topic in General Nursing

    Hi. We can't comment on your friend's situation except that she follow up as instructed with the baby's primary care provider and she can speak with the hospital's representative if she has concerns...

    Ugh. Can't wait til this explodes. What a dumpster

    Regretting new job. What to do?

    JKL33 replied to Stefanie Vega's topic in General Nursing

    3 shifts may not be enough to say one tried (as "try" might refer to the process of learning something new). On the other hand if you mean that you've now exposed yourself to it and there are...

    Registering Patients / Accepting Payments

    JKL33 replied to pyroknight's topic in Emergency

    Oh, and as far as this profession is concerned, there should be a front row seat in How Not to Be a Sellout 101 class for any nurses in administration who let stuff like this get enough momentum to...

    Registering Patients / Accepting Payments

    JKL33 replied to pyroknight's topic in Emergency

    This is wacko. Also why hospitals suck. Geez. I worked for one terrible place where there was a specialty obs unit that was part of the ED. They wanted to surreptitiously admit patients to...

    New Nurse Making Mistakes

    JKL33 replied to NewNurse_20's topic in Emergency

    Can you give the basics as far as what you didn't properly chart? *** General comments: Everything's okay. Although I have ^ this question, my guess is that there are no big mistakes...

    Unprofessional Clinical Educator.. What would you do?

    JKL33 replied to hama1111's topic in General Nursing

    Ouch. Well, having been in staff level positions I can tell you how stupidly impossible administration's patient care/documentation fantasies are, too. Maybe that's part of why its also stupidly...

    Disheartened by Profession Realities

    JKL33 replied to 2BS Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I've never done this (that I know of/on purpose) and don't ever plan to. I've always prioritized according to my own training and nursing judgment and have been willing/ready to defend myself if...

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

    JKL33 replied to Joe V's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    The link you provided is the information I reviewed as well. The answer given begins with this: Everything else in the subsequent comments at that link flows from ^ this. They are not...

    Trying to get ready for the NCLEX while grieving my husband

    JKL33 replied to Midlife452's topic in General Nursing

    I remember your post and have thought of it (you) now and then since you posted. Glad you found people's comments useful. I hope you are hanging in there. Some of this might depend upon what your...

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

    JKL33 replied to Joe V's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Hello. Please provide the HHS reference related to ^ this. I've briefly reviewed what I believe to be the relevant HHS/HIPAA-related information but I'd like to know what your interpretation is...

    Mean and Nice Coworker

    JKL33 replied to NewNurse26's topic in General Nursing

    In the past I had some fun with stuff like this. Like, in a completely flat/neutral tone - "This a disaster. What should we do." These days I'm boring and just completely ignore; probably wouldn't...

    Hate My Job But Feel There Is No Way Out

    JKL33 replied to Aliceozwalker's topic in General Nursing

    Not sustainable for most people. What are the specifics of your other (casual) job? Setting/# patients, etc. Don't even worry about your manager and what he might or might not do maybe 10 months...

    BSN - no experience and lots of children

    JKL33 replied to kat1822's topic in General Nursing

    There are programs that accept people without any nursing experience. My personal opinion is that nurse-provider education is not appropriate for those without working experience (and barely then;...

    Unprofessional Clinical Educator.. What would you do?

    JKL33 replied to hama1111's topic in General Nursing

    According to my very own opinion, I'm not too shabby at figuring out the dangerous territory of what makes individuals tick. Frankly I'm one of those who might not rest well until I am satisfied in my...

    Unprofessional Clinical Educator.. What would you do?

    JKL33 replied to hama1111's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. But I don't think it's trivial that patients are exposed to these little circus acts that go on all day. And are 100%

    Unprofessional Clinical Educator.. What would you do?

    JKL33 replied to hama1111's topic in General Nursing

    Your analogy suggests a misreading of what I said. I am saying that sometimes information can bring certain scenarios to mind that may involve stereotyping or over-generalization. So...whether we are...

    Unprofessional Clinical Educator.. What would you do?

    JKL33 replied to hama1111's topic in General Nursing

    I think it would be funny (but also inappropriate) if this educator were somewhere posting about how the 23ish-year-old (who is a nice young gal whom others seem to like) blew off class and also let...

    Unprofessional Clinical Educator.. What would you do?

    JKL33 replied to hama1111's topic in General Nursing

    I see what you mean. I will restate. My opinion is that all of that is irrelevant because a 22, 30, 35, 40, 45, 55, 60 or 70 year old (and every age in between) may also speak inappropriately at...

    Unprofessional Clinical Educator.. What would you do?

    JKL33 replied to hama1111's topic in General Nursing

    I was the first to mention that it was irrelevant. I'm not sensitive about it and am not near the age mentioned. I simply stated a fact. But, in response to your comment above I will point out...

    Nurse order botox without MD order

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

    First, let me ask you this: Is this really how it was? Such that if you felt it was fine for a patient to have something you just ordered it under the physician's name without actually having...

    Which nurse is easier to train in med surg?

    JKL33 replied to guest1171208's topic in General Nursing

    Some people (such as myself) would do something like this not to be coy but as an imperfect means of avoiding an echo chamber or inappropriate reinforcement of their own beliefs or influencing the...

    Unprofessional Clinical Educator.. What would you do?

    JKL33 replied to hama1111's topic in General Nursing

    Not gonna lie, there have been days well in the past where I would've rolled my eyes and said something to the patient about her competency after she left as a means of defending/justifying myself to...

    Unprofessional Clinical Educator.. What would you do?

    JKL33 replied to hama1111's topic in General Nursing

    There are far worse behaviors out there. But coming to a patient doorway and suggesting that (what could sound to a lay person like) the nurse's qualifications could be expired (because someone can't...
