    I need help. Do I need a new job?

    JKL33 replied to Grande_latte04's topic in General Nursing

    Well that's an interesting twist. I'm guessing you need to buck up before walking back in there. From your original post some of the interactions that have happened seem like they would be good...

    My Instructor Used To Be My Nurse

    JKL33 replied to hikeclimb44's topic in General Nursing

    Your first statement was a blanket statement about "limiting any discussion of patient issues and especially mental health issues." That exceedingly broad statement is the one to which I responded....

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

    JKL33 replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    No it isn't. The question involves whether or not a specific nurse must participate. As it stands right now, there is no reason to think that a patient's successful receipt of a covid-19...

    My Instructor Used To Be My Nurse

    JKL33 replied to hikeclimb44's topic in General Nursing

    This is not appropriate. People need to learn about the specifics of various conditions; these are people becoming educationally prepared to provide care to those suffering with mental illness....

    Tuition Reimbursement Contract Negotiation

    JKL33 replied to jeskarwr's topic in General Nursing

    I actually meant that I specifically avoid situations that are much more involved than "I will work, you give me cash." Other arrangements are simply more room for employer to control things, as...

    Tuition Reimbursement Contract Negotiation

    JKL33 replied to jeskarwr's topic in General Nursing

    Me? Just give me my cash and I'll decide how I spend

    What would you do in this situation?

    JKL33 replied to Bean0621's topic in General Nursing

    Some probably will disagree, but my issue would be continuing the orientation (which is an employee status specifically tied to the pretense of working independently following the orientation) knowing...

    Manager Woes

    JKL33 replied to WriterRN's topic in General Nursing

    It isn't so much a matter of helping or not helping. It's a matter of agreeing or not agreeing to expend efforts towards a project that has already been sabotaged. What you can do is not...

    Enough

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

    It was not this way when I was new. IMHO there has been a distinct acceleration of just absolutely ridiculous treatment of nurses. If I would have had a crystal ball I would have done things...

    Patient filed a sexual harassment complaint. HR wants to talk to me

    JKL33 replied to The0Walrus's topic in General Nursing

    Given the nature of the accusation heck yes I would talk to a lawyer. You are in a bad spot regardless what happened. What is your employer going to do--tell her she is lying and/or just shut it down?...

    If You Changed Careers

    JKL33 replied to Mavnurse17's topic in General Nursing

    This ^ Understandable. I'm completely biased here as I no longer recommend this line of work when directly asked for my opinion IRL. And those for whom I am directly responsible...

    Considering going back to bedside...bad idea?

    JKL33 replied to citynurse03's topic in General Nursing

    Well this comment is going to involve some extrapolating and generalization to a degree I don't usually prefer. But it wouldn't hurt to think about it. The public health people I know are way...

    Disheartened by Profession Realities

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

    It's hard to imagine what things would look like if they weren't corrupted by other interests. Much of the excessive charting people now associated with EMRs is a direct result of terrible, lazy...

    Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    JKL33 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    So the thing is that there's difference between having one's wishes respected vs. expecting others' support when a person works to destroy themselves and then prefers the thought of everyone around...

    Bad Clinical Experience Today

    JKL33 replied to j0622's topic in General Students

    No...you have some misunderstandings here. ? Being humble and modest is a fine mindset from which to handle a difficult situation! I wonder if you are confusing humble and modest with lack of...

    Student found using RN,BSN behind their name

    JKL33 replied to guest1173715's topic in General Nursing

    You have already spent more of your time (emotional energy) on this than you should have. It isn't so much a matter of letting live as recognizing that you could choose to spend a great deal...

    How can I learn to be "rougher" with patients

    JKL33 replied to MDBoy's topic in General Nursing

    Are you talking about a matter of self-confidence? What are the chances that is wrapped up in here

    Professional relationships/social media

    JKL33 replied to may20rn's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    No it doesn't violate HIPAA to like a fakebook page. However nursing expectations are another story. These people (those in charge of making sure there is never a hint of anything that someone might...

    Confused nurse! Please need input

    JKL33 replied to valrn9's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like you've worked with a variety of populations. This is seems to be stimulating to you--the idea of new challenges, etc. Or at least you aren't afraid of new challenges. That's a good...

    Covid Vaccine Given Too High On Arm

    JKL33 replied to andrusia's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This is not a situation that requires complete idiocy. Contact the hospital and let them know of your situation. I hope it is better

    Infection after Vaccination?

    JKL33 replied to MeganMN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    There is some nuance here, can you give more specifics? Are they being admitted with covid-19 symptoms/covid-19 complication...or being admitted for any reason and being tested and found...

    IV Push Med Question

    JKL33 replied to guest1122560's topic in General Students

    I acknowledge that I have defended the process in the past because it is what I was taught and what I am comfortable with and probably for those reasons it makes sense to me. I know these aren't good...

    IV Push Med Question

    JKL33 replied to guest1122560's topic in General Students

    Yes. I wouldn't expect them to since that is not the kind of approval they sought for their product; I assume that a lot more would've been involved in the process required to market it for that...

    Experiment!

    JKL33 posted a topic in Ars Gratia Artis's Artis

    Posting at Davey Do's request so that he can experiment. I shall wait with not-bated breath to see what this is about (only because I think I deserve to breathe in the meantime). Have fun,...
