    Predatory New Grad Contracts

    JKL33 replied to CreamCheeseRangoons's topic in General Nursing

    As above, these often don't even involve any bonus. *** This is an easily-avoided situation for employers: Just hire experienced people who don't need so much training. But then it isn't...

    Predatory New Grad Contracts

    JKL33 replied to CreamCheeseRangoons's topic in General Nursing

    Hm. If using the credit card analogy this seems like a situation where a charge-back would be appropriate. I am just guessing because I am a good responsible human being who has never disputed any...

    Predatory New Grad Contracts

    JKL33 replied to CreamCheeseRangoons's topic in General Nursing

    Employers can say whatever they want. Proof is required for such statements, from employers and from those who repeat their figures as if they are the truth. You understand that covid...

    Vasovagal hypotension

    JKL33 replied to CommunityRNBSN's topic in General Nursing

    It isn't really odd given some of the commentary to which people have been exposed. That's just a flu shot and this is a big scary gene therapy shot that might alter your DNA, make you sterile or...

    Vasovagal hypotension

    JKL33 replied to CommunityRNBSN's topic in General Nursing

    It's really unfortunate that any vaccine site decided to shut down due to a small amount of people with similar issues (referring to recent news items). I wonder if the over-concerned know that...

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

    JKL33 replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    I would agree with this if a random nurse refusal meant that someone would be denied the recommended care. I am not sure how often that has ever been the reality, though I admit it could theoretically...

    Unexplained Diarrhea and Weight Loss: What's going on? | Case Study

    JKL33 replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    Random curiosity: What was her weight status prior to the accident and subsequent jaw

    My Instructor Used To Be My Nurse

    JKL33 replied to hikeclimb44's topic in General Nursing

    It could be addressed from that standpoint (the inappropriate presentation) if you choose to do so. Though I haven't experienced anything like what you describe, I'd like to think this is the...

    My Instructor Used To Be My Nurse

    Always Feeling Stupid

    JKL33 replied to Whitneyz's topic in General Nursing

    Agree. OP: In addition to what has already been said about this, there is the aspect of needing to just stay cool so that your brain can work well. Focusing on small "mistakes" (learning...

    PREGNANCY NIGHTSHIFT

    JKL33 replied to kusters's topic in General Nursing

    There are studies that have suggested a correlation. To the OP - The best thing is to have a discussion of your concerns with your OB who can speak to your individual situation and help put this...

    What Color Scrubs Are Appropriate?

    JKL33 replied to spikedorchid's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I could refer to any or all of: color, patterns, fit. It wouldn't be wrong to ask for further clarification before spending a bunch of

    Fair practice?

    JKL33 replied to rn30's topic in General Nursing

    So the main reason I wouldn't even bother with this ^ is because advocating for more astute stewardship of resources is probably not the real driving force here. Don't get me wrong, I don't disagree...

    "Thank you for your service"

    JKL33 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I've said something like, "Well...I enjoy my job and wouldn't want to do anything else. I'm thankful for a lot of different jobs that people do." Maybe kinda cheesy but gives the idea that this...

    "Thank you for your service"

    JKL33 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Another aspect of this is to not conflate large healthcare corporations' professions of gratitude and hero-talk with the gratitude expressed on the street by citizens. Two entirely different

    Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    JKL33 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Because. You can PM me if you want to discuss it. I am not disrespecting anyone. I find the situation concerning for one of two reasons, I'm not sure which one yet. I joked around a bit...

    Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    JKL33 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    This is painful, people. Look, this latest mystery was brought about due to seeing how so many people have been engaging in "all of this" as if it is real. This has been some AN version of...

    "Thank you for your service"

    JKL33 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you. I had hoped that was the case and that's why I asked. And thanks for the reply @macawake. I don't need any thanks but at the same time there are people whose gratitude is...

    "Thank you for your service"

    Just the services mentioned so far, or just the "for your service" part specifically, or...?

    I think I’ll be fired and I really do need to vent my fears

    JKL33 replied to direw0lf's topic in General Nursing

    Errr... I guess we both weren't there so I don't really know any more than you do, but I sense you have a wrong read on this one. This account is about a blow up that began because the grand...

    Discipline Meeting

    JKL33 replied to nurse_elle1956's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Don't go there. What a terrible way to spend your time and emotional energy! Surely you are better than that. Don't let her nefarious behavior define you. Let her live her miserable life while...

    Covid Vaccine Given Too High On Arm

    JKL33 replied to andrusia's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Here's a page for visualization (and interesting facts). I am surprised with the wide range of what is considered an appropriate deltoid injection. It is really not a difficult muscle to palpate...

    Fair practice?

    JKL33 replied to rn30's topic in General Nursing

    This is the only part that seems off. Your unit/department could run without any techs; they aren't required if the employer wants to pay RNs to do that work. So I wouldn't bother talking about the...
