    Day orientation... Yay! Night orientation...not so much

    JKL33 replied to Merrie82's topic in General Nursing

    So they are having you go back and forth between days and nights until June and then you will be off orientation and on straight

    Day orientation... Yay! Night orientation...not so much

    JKL33 replied to Merrie82's topic in General Nursing

    So, wait: Are you rotating shifts, or have they moved you to nights for the remainder of your orientation? I wrote and erased a bunch of stuff because it occurred to me that you might be sort of...

    Is this reasonable?

    JKL33 replied to guest1143647's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't matter if it's the kitchen or the back porch. The patient is either in direct line of sight and within very quick access or he isn't. Also, I wouldn't care where his nurses usually sit. He...

    I got a verbal warning for not greeting the new Director of Care?

    JKL33 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    I don't. They already know that every single one of these things is an additional burden. So either do it or don't do it. Just figure out what the pros/cons and any potential consequences are of...

    Is this reasonable?

    JKL33 replied to guest1143647's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with @FolksBtrippin. I would never have asked her and would have waited for the issue to arise on its own if it were going to. The only reason to sit w/in three feet of a patient, with or...

    Why won't they pay us more to stay??

    JKL33 replied to bitter_betsy's topic in Emergency

    Because they like to completely be in charge of all negotiations and not have to deal with people who have any significant negotiating power. If they admit to regular staff that they are hurting and...

    I'm on my final straw...

    JKL33 replied to atxgirly's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Surely this terrible experience has not helped anything and you're feeling beaten down right now as most people would. You can get back to where you feel more in control. It is very difficult to...

    Asked to use machine for vital recheck?

    JKL33 replied to HCpednurse's topic in General Nursing

    I would, but only in a friendly/humorous casual way, not in some goofy, overly-emotional you-need-to-respect-me kind of way (cause that is just too annoying and belabored and...massively annoying)....

    I got a verbal warning for not greeting the new Director of Care?

    JKL33 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Nothing wrong with that! It's pretty normal to not learn something until we come to it on our own. I think I've mentioned a manager who had a certain kind of wisdom shared in staff meetings which I...

    JKL33 replied to atxgirly's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Have not been in a similar situation but I'm sorry this is happening. It sounds so very unhealthy and demoralizing. It sounds like you are going to be let go. Whether there are legitimate...

    Asked to use machine for vital recheck?

    JKL33 replied to HCpednurse's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe she didn't trust your reading. Maybe she wanted to check her machine. Maybe she wanted to observe your use of the machine. Who knows. It isn't terribly unusual that it takes a little time...

    COVID vaccine given way too low in the arm

    JKL33 replied to SN2751's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I would inform them; I'd send them a pic if they had the capability to receive it. This is not difficult and I have a hard time believing that we need vaccinators who can't do better than that...or...

    I think my employer is violating HIPAA, but when I talk to leadership about it I'm basically ignored.

    JKL33 replied to C0SM0's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I've been searching around a little and thinking about this and don't have a solid answer for you. It wouldn't surprise me at all to find out that this is one of those sort of cringe-worthy...

    It’s been 3 years since I graduated and don’t have bedside experience.

    JKL33 replied to Streetnurse42's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't discourage someone from trying something new especially if they know how it makes sense for their life, but definitely agree this is not the time in history for FOMO over hospital nursing....

    I got a verbal warning for not greeting the new Director of Care?

    JKL33 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Disagree. This same behavior goes on in "desirable" places, too, and at multiple levels of organizations. Exact same. It's a thing. People want to look good to their superiors and they want their...

    JKL33 replied to Streetnurse42's topic in General Nursing

    Core nursing skills are not missing from community nursing and home care. If anything those nurses are even more on the line to make accurate assessments and come up with feasible plans and reevaluate...

    JKL33 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Agree. I'll try to explain better. They (admin) already knew exactly the kind of things that their nurses would be busy with that would prevent them from participating in this...

    How to come back from a mistake?

    JKL33 replied to DH1234's topic in General Nursing

    I think everything's going to be okay. I wasn't there but overall perhaps do what you can to focus on good nursing assessments and understanding treatment plans and rationales for them--which...

    JKL33 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    See...the problem with "not sugarcoating anything" is that none of us are perfect. The fact here is that even if you were busy with other stuff and had neither the inclination nor the time to...

    Yes, I've heard that before. I know some people take pride in it. I don't understand the mentality because my observation and experience has been that it translates mostly into temporary emotional...
