    Should I feel bad?

    JKL33 replied to jordyn12's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have zero idea what your coworker's birthday has to do with the one week you would be able to get away this year. It has nothing to do with anything. You are putting yourself out there to be...

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

    JKL33 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Never speak freely. Just say "That was not my intention" and "understood." Next time something like this happens you say, "Welcome!" or Nice to meet you," take their cake, go somewhere and throw it in...

    More than I wanted to know

    JKL33 replied to FlorentineRN's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I'm sure this was a disturbing experience, but it seems that you have not processed it. Your own family has a lot to do with the inappropriateness of the situation. You should...

    New Nurse, On Call, Called Off My Scheduled Shifts

    JKL33 replied to Owlseye's topic in General Nursing

    This is the usual, and isn't a great situation. [I think we can stipulate/agree that it's better than xyz like not having a job]. While people have pointed out that what you have experienced in...

    Patient complaint - Did I mishandle this situation?

    JKL33 replied to lily8424's topic in General Nursing

    I hope this will be a good learning experience for you. I think that you logically know that you didn't do anything wrong, so the question is why you emotionally went this route with it. I think that...

    Mean and Nice Coworker

    JKL33 replied to NewNurse26's topic in General Nursing

    ^Worth repeating. Exit yourself from this

    Per diem?

    JKL33 replied to freesia29's topic in General Nursing

    Oh well. Her disappointment really is her own problem. I also wouldn't facilitate per diem work by letting someone know my schedule so that they can do anything they want with it and then not need me....

    I'm a Student not an Employee

    JKL33 replied to paramedic-RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I sincerely can't imagine this. Between medical decision-making (including the immense amount of assessment, patho and pharm info that is needed to make good decisions) and interacting with...

    Being forced to give corporate access to my medical records?!

    JKL33 replied to IRN2011's topic in General Nursing

    On second thought I think you have a problem. Just thinking out loud here: You have already submitted a physician's note stating that you shouldn't be floated there. In other words, a...

    Little Miss Know-it-all

    JKL33 replied to WisconsinCheddr's topic in General Students

    Good points. My opinion on this matter is based on my personal observation that one of the bigger problems in the profession is the propensity to worry too much about what others are doing and...

    ED Nursing

    JKL33 replied to Kbelle's topic in General Nursing

    This is a general ED tip not necessarily related to transitioning from somewhere else: You can treat people with basic human dignity no matter what their problem or presentation is. Don't get bogged...

    Being forced to give corporate access to my medical records?!

    JKL33 replied to IRN2011's topic in General Nursing

    Just tell them you appreciate their efforts but are not in need of any accommodations at this time. If they wish to have unit-specific practices or managerial preferences that involve you not floating...

    PICO help

    JKL33 replied to Mattie Barone's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Overall it is a very vague PICO question. "What is the impact..." is not usually the kind of measurable thing they are looking for. Additionally, safety and satisfaction are both very broad and can...

    How to deal with anxiety during an investigation at work?

    JKL33 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    I see nothing wrong with telling them you have no knowledge of the situation if you have no knowledge of the situation. If there was something going on that you were not aware of then that's just...

    Little Miss Know-it-all

    JKL33 replied to WisconsinCheddr's topic in General Students

    While neither one of us can know what's going on with someone else's psyche, there's a very good chance that this person does have a need to appear better than everyone else. Maybe not purposely...

    Ready to leave bedside after only 1 year?

    JKL33 replied to Corpsman2OncRN's topic in General Nursing

    I will assume this is not an exaggeration. Working a 24-hr shift in acute care (and probably just about any other typical nursing job) is not appropriate. It isn't okay. And it is not a situation in...

    Getting Flack For Not Getting Covid Vaccine

    JKL33 replied to EDnurseAmen's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I wouldn't think that a bad thing on their part; not like it's a character flaw or something. It wasn't the far-right conspiracy theorists who did that, it was regular people wanting to take care of...

    Should I quit nursing school?

    JKL33 replied to girl.in.blue's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Speak with an academic advisor; more than one if possible. You need some official guidance here, not just opinions that are likely to take the general form of either nursing is great/you can do it or...

    Getting Flack For Not Getting Covid Vaccine

    JKL33 replied to EDnurseAmen's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I do not support this. I have no axe to grind with him and generally think he has been a voice of reason and has tried hard to provide good information in a very difficult situation. I do...

    Do I push out the air bubble?

    JKL33 replied to evastone's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, because this is another zombie thread now. https://products.sanofi.us/Lovenox/Lovenox.pdf Section

    Patient abandonment/Professional Boundaries??

    JKL33 replied to RoseT21's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Very true. I have met a few whom I would decline to approach; they've shown their colors in the past. I am simply VERY against the idea of BONs being weaponized even more than they already (most...

    Looking for thoughts/opinions of experienced nurses

    JKL33 replied to FashionablyL8's topic in General Nursing

    ?? Yes, a number of medications list similar side effect/adverse effect possibilities and often times they are not likely. Meanwhile the concern is not completely unreasonable. Besides, even if...

    Side note: It is a possible effect as is QT prolongation. Hypotension is listed as a common reaction. Anyway. A couple of things for you OP: If the time frame you are referring to is the...

    Sexually assaulted at work

    JKL33 replied to Thinkingx's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't give anyone an inch to focus on the reasons that patient specifically or the reasons any patient might have done something. I would make this 100% about the fact that your employer has...
