    Oral vs IV Pain Medication

    JKL33 replied to kristine_bean's topic in General Nursing

    ? I do think patients' use of the pain scale provides useful information. The specific treatment for the pain is only loosely connected to that, though, certainly not something where I would ever...

    allnurses Positive Thread

    JKL33 replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    @JBMmom: And I just came from reading a great topic of yours in a specialty forum when I came back and read your compliment above. So...ditto.

    allnurses Positive Thread

    JKL33 replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    It's a space for thinking. It's a study in human nature, including one's own thoughts and beliefs. I like hearing about a variety of healthcare-related situations around the country and...

    If you get the chance to give a basic update when he gets back, I'd be interested to hear

    Asked To Change My Nursing Note...

    JKL33 replied to Cdonocdo's topic in General Nursing

    It's all positive. ? Seriously. I'm not going to nitpick; with the above recommendations (bolded removals for next time around), it's good documentation of a very acute situation in a setting not...

    Asked To Change My Nursing Note...

    JKL33 replied to Cdonocdo's topic in General Nursing

    Your irritation is certainly understandable. But...both in the real-time care of such an acute situation and in the integrity of the chart you have to put all of that to the side. The instant you...

    Asked To Change My Nursing Note...

    JKL33 replied to Cdonocdo's topic in General Nursing

    Best to be more concise, just my personal opinion. [This scenario isn't highly suggestive of a need for STAT narcan...although not wrong to think of it.] Agree with the above, everything bolded...

    Asked To Change My Nursing Note...

    JKL33 replied to Cdonocdo's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with all the above. No matter how you charted it, what you've already written will be available; that's always been the rule. Even if handwritten documentation you are only to put a single...

    Patient abandonment/Professional Boundaries??

    JKL33 replied to RoseT21's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I would do it because I believe it is the professional way to comport myself. I feel this way because my personal belief is that there are many instances where people, because they are mere human...

    Patient abandonment/Professional Boundaries??

    JKL33 replied to RoseT21's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    It doesn't sound, on the surface, like appropriate nursing behavior. But I have to say I find it curious when people observe a situation like that and mainly just want to know if someone can/should be...

    Next step

    JKL33 replied to Stacey Reeve's topic in Nursing Career

    I find that letters such as the one you wrote work best as personal journal entries. They can help put thoughts in order and process emotions. If they've posted your job, it is what it is....

    Oral vs IV Pain Medication

    JKL33 replied to kristine_bean's topic in General Nursing

    Ugh. One of the more nonsensical concepts for sure. A terrible substitution for applied nursing knowledge and judgment. I don't have good thoughts about the entities who readily incorporated it as...

    Hate ICU after 8 months! Considering new options or sticking it out!?!

    JKL33 replied to Murse933's topic in General Nursing

    @Murse933, Your post sounds like distress related primarily to the learning curve you are on. It isn't a great feeling for most people, it just isn't. You were happy and hopeful on day shift...

    Getting Flack For Not Getting Covid Vaccine

    JKL33 replied to EDnurseAmen's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I didn't miss your context. You were clear in tying in your example with your take-home point about the good or needs of the many. But you also unintentionally chose an analogy that ended up involving...

    Getting Flack For Not Getting Covid Vaccine

    JKL33 replied to EDnurseAmen's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I will enumerate the statements you've made for ease of reply: 1. Generally agree, with the understanding that the method of delivery goes into the evaluation of the information. 2. Yes....

    Getting Flack For Not Getting Covid Vaccine

    JKL33 replied to EDnurseAmen's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I agree with the above. In fact I think it is how a lot of people feel--that they/we can sort of understand (or at least not be completely inflamed by) some of the vaccine hesitation in this...

    Getting Flack For Not Getting Covid Vaccine

    JKL33 replied to EDnurseAmen's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm going to say something; maybe not popular but I can handle being disagreed with. The issue mentioned in the OP does tick me off, even though most of the comments I have heard here and IRL...

    QID PRN, HELP!

    JKL33 replied to thesix's topic in Patient Medications

    Yes, I know the tartrate/succinate thing; I thought we were talking about the format of the order as per the OP's question. The spirit of what you wrote in your #2 is exactly the way the order...

    QID PRN, HELP!

    JKL33 replied to thesix's topic in Patient Medications

    That seems like a bit of an exaggeration, doesn't it? I'm struggling here--what other way would the order be interpreted than exactly what the physician described? Seems pretty straightforward:...

    QID PRN, HELP!

    JKL33 replied to thesix's topic in Patient Medications

    I guess I'm weird, regarding the above order I don't know how else it could be interpreted other than exactly the way the physician described. Check the b/p at BID times (09//2100). If the b/p...

    Getting Flack For Not Getting Covid Vaccine

    JKL33 replied to EDnurseAmen's topic in Disaster Preparation

    A lot of people are rushed to EDs via ambulance. The reasons range from wanting a ride to that part of town to being in full arrest and everything in-between. I don't understand what this...
