    Should I give a two weeks' notice?

    JKL33 replied to neuron's topic in General Nursing

    I'd give notice then conduct myself even more carefully than usual. For example, there are things for which they can fault you/write you up that don't involve needing to be hauled in front of the BON....

    Nurses Refusing to Administer COVID-19 Vaccinations!? | Nurses Week Contest

    JKL33 replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    Ditto. Sounds like the major difference here is that I don't waste time getting enraged at peers over unlikely things. Take

    Total Number of Nurse Practitioners Hits 325,000

    JKL33 replied to MentalKlarity's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Just jumping in to say I generally start to gather an understanding of a situation based on simple factors. And one simple factor here is that there is a reason multi-billion dollar corporations are...

    Nurses Refusing to Administer COVID-19 Vaccinations!? | Nurses Week Contest

    JKL33 replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    This article is clearly in reference to a nurse who didn't follow an order and made no apparent effort to inform the prescriber of her concern. Nurses most certainly can unilaterally decline to...

    Nurses Refusing to Administer COVID-19 Vaccinations!? | Nurses Week Contest

    JKL33 replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    Wrong. Glad you're entertained though. I am not sure why you're arguing that there's no material difference between a scenario where the patient does receive the care in question vs. one where...

    How Technology Can Solve the Nurse Staffing Shortage

    JKL33 replied to IntelyCare's topic in General Nursing

    Very generous to let healthcare heroes apply for free. The nursing shortage will be solved in no

    Getting off orientation too early?

    JKL33 replied to Bean0621's topic in General Nursing

    I think you should try to work it. I know it's overwhelming but from one of your previous posts it looks like you've at least had a little bit of orientation--8 weeks or so? See if you can make it...

    Are any of the following considered HIPAA violation?

    JKL33 replied to Chem0ninja's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Yes. This is obtained at admission/arrival. If it is not obtained (pt declines to participate in facility directory) then that should be noted when the name is searched. Same thing that would happen...

    Happy Nurse's Week! You ROCK (literally a rock given to RN's for Nurse's Week)!

    JKL33 replied to CABGpatch_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Careful. There's lots of eager confusion in those places. Rocks are smooth and hard, kind of like....magnets. If they hear about this rock thing they themselves will have you doing inane things so...

    Days off

    JKL33 replied to nurseguy213's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Yes. But understand that, in general, at-will employees can be terminated for any reason that is not discriminatory. As others have advised you, you need to just say no. You need to get...

    I need advice, possible HIPAA violation

    JKL33 replied to KTT's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Hi, @KTT - What is your role and what is the context in which you did this? Were you on duty, etc.? Agree with @NurseBlaq, you should have received training and you should speak with the...

    Received Letter In Mail About Hospital Lawsuit At Old Job

    JKL33 replied to dreamshake18's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know. I'm not even sure we're talking about the same things half the time. ? The attorney that sent her the letter working is the attorney of the OP's former employer. I would not think...

    Are any of the following considered HIPAA violation?

    JKL33 replied to Chem0ninja's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    My answers: 1. This would not violate HIPAA. See here. Follow your hospital's related policies. 2. Direct the individual to the process for obtaining medical records. Follow related hospital...

    Received Letter In Mail About Hospital Lawsuit At Old Job

    JKL33 replied to dreamshake18's topic in General Nursing

    The OP's situation does not involve an opposing attorney. Thanks. I think the point of attempted clarification was in reference to someone saying there's no big deal if one is only...

    Yep. Named = sued. Being named along with a corporation is being sued as an individual and needing to defend yourself apart from whatever defense the company mounts for themselves. Named is...

    Consider posting in the oncology nursing subforum for general ideas about how this goes. I agree with @amoLucia that your OB can give you the best personalized

    JKL33 replied to SpidersWeb's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I am sorry to hear of what you have been through. Are you currently continuing therapy? Your post is about serious things that you are still processing so it would make sense to have the help of...

    JKL33 replied to Ioreth's topic in General Nursing

    I wasn't there so take my comments for what they're worth. ? - From the sounds of this I'm not sure I would've assessed it as a straightforward situation of uncontrolled pain - Patient...

    Shameless request for good vibes

    JKL33 posted a topic in General Nursing

    People often post here regarding some nursing-related difficulty they are facing. Often enough, it seems obvious that they are just being messed with by someone who feels bad about themselves and...

    My patient is going to get a pressure ulcer and there's little we can do to stop it. How do you handle situations like this?

    JKL33 replied to wernicke's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting post. I like to read of nurses thinking through patients' individual situations like this instead of it always being about whatever the protocol is. In the interest of discussion,...

    Your Help Needed: Give A Tip To A New Grad Nurse

    JKL33 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    @TriciaJ beat me to it. This is so important; I think it is right up there with learning nursing-specific things. Figuring out how not to absorb negativity, how not to feel provoked, how not to...

    JKL33 replied to futurenurse2025's topic in General Nursing

    Then there's the matter of nursing school itself. The programs I am familiar with require drug testing, likely as a requirement of being able to place students in to clinical sites. I'm sure there are...
