    Predatory New Grad Contracts

    JKL33 replied to CreamCheeseRangoons's topic in General Nursing

    I'm troubled by this thread. There are so many situations in our society where educated people seem to inherently know that blaming the least powerful in a situation probably isn't what makes the...

    Predatory New Grad Contracts

    JKL33 replied to CreamCheeseRangoons's topic in General Nursing

    I do think that one thing that hasn't really been nailed down is sort of a chick-or-egg situation of what came first. Lots of people know of or heard of a new grad somewhere who wasn't mature and...

    Should I stay or should I go?

    JKL33 replied to Wandering-night's topic in Critical Care

    @Wandering-night, What these people are doing isn't right and neither is the way it is being handled. Understand that those who behave in the way you describe do not have decent self-esteem...

    How to move on after being reported ...

    JKL33 replied to GS ED RN's topic in Emergency

    I might take some flack for this but frankly I don't even consider it an error. I'd call it prioritization. Covid+ patient is well enough for discharge = Bye. DO NOT be self-deprecating...

    Predatory New Grad Contracts

    JKL33 replied to CreamCheeseRangoons's topic in General Nursing

    "Everything" can't be factored. I'm sure in some places it costs money to maintain a parking structure so the new grad can park their vehicle. They need a badge. They need a little cubby in which to...

    Predatory New Grad Contracts

    JKL33 replied to CreamCheeseRangoons's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for posting a breakdown listing some specifics! Remember that the $6720 needs to be divided by 3. And the $3200 needs to be divided by the number of orientees you are working...

    Predatory New Grad Contracts

    Hi - not sure what this is about; quote in your post is not mine. ? However, I probably disagree with what I think you are saying. I've already posted my acknowledgement that at the bare minimum...

    Advice needed!!

    JKL33 replied to penny186's topic in General Specialties

    General kindness and treating others well is not to be confused with some need to give them inappropriate power over your personal decisions and life choices. You have no reason to inform others...

    Interpreting New Director Behavior/Personality

    JKL33 replied to mermer_rn's topic in General Nursing

    Of course she did! That's what they do! One set of rules for themselves and a different set for everyone else. ? People like this are intellectually, emotionally and morally unfit to proclaim who...

    National Blah Blah Blah Day

    JKL33 replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I know someone who once dreamed that they were 1) buck naked 2) riding a garden tractor and 3) at work, wherein 4) the "hospital" was a ginormous multi-floor building consisting of only supporting...

    Bad Clinical Experience Today

    JKL33 replied to j0622's topic in General Students

    Oh, you will. You WILL. Nurses are just people, not angels or extra-special beings. Don't put them on such a pedestal as if they can't be expected to have the same types of problems easily found...

    Overwhelmed in Preceptorship

    JKL33 replied to RowRN_8855's topic in General Students

    So just to clarify this is a student rotation, correct (not a new grad position)? If so, your nurse should be sticking fairly close by (instruction and close follow up, touching base frequently,...

    National Blah Blah Blah Day

    Two applications of the dream come to mind: 1) In the dream you performed as would be expected. And felt very uncomfortable. You are working through the fact that even though your...

    Bad Clinical Experience Today

    JKL33 replied to j0622's topic in General Students

    Everything is okay. Glad you wrote all this out and got it off your chest. It's okay. I don't know if you "blew" the vein; it doesn't really matter. But understand that if people are really...

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

    JKL33 replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I originally made the vote I did because this profession is not fond of sorting out nuance when it comes to employee actions. For example, I have worked with coworkers (including management) who...

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

    JKL33 replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    I have no hate for you, whoever you are, speaking of a flair for the dramatic. I just think you misjudged what a yes vote might mean and are having a hard time admitting it. Other than that...

    Are nurses able to shower after shift?

    JKL33 replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in General Nursing

    Well, how can you expect anyone to have time to worry about stuff like this when people are drinking water at the nurse's station???

    Why am I asked to fix things that are NOT my job?

    JKL33 replied to LPNwithBIGdreams's topic in General Nursing

    I say come up with a basic amount of time that could be sacrificed in brief troubleshooting. Like ? 1 minute (2 min. max) should cover the basics. If a minute (or two) has passed, just stop...

    I NEED ADVICE!

    JKL33 replied to Mebzone05's topic in General Nursing

    Talk to your manager and let him/her know you would like to be rotated through all the zones regularly. In few words as possible, let them know of the difficulty that arises when you rarely have...

    Predatory New Grad Contracts

    JKL33 replied to CreamCheeseRangoons's topic in General Nursing

    I feel like a person needs to be prepared to pay what they agreed to pay if the issue is just that life happens. It's gotta be more than that. It has to be that there was significant deception...

    Gaslighting job?

    JKL33 replied to CardiTeleRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the above poster, but make sure you aren't becoming disgruntled over small potatoes... Like, unless the patient is allergic to "bread" or intolerant etc., then this is not...

    Secondary COVID exposure? What?

    JKL33 replied to CardiTeleRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Agree it doesn't matter whether your boss considers something an exposure if you are symptomatic. The CDC has been clear in their updated information about what should happen with symptomatic
