    Tips to improve morale

    JKL33 replied to travellingnurse1's topic in General Nursing

    The root of both of those things is people other than your target audience.

    Tips to improve morale

    JKL33 replied to travellingnurse1's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with this. Be an example of someone who just purposely operates on a different plane, or with a different narrative, the core of which is to stay focused on taking good care of patients....

    Which Nurse are You?

    JKL33 replied to Guest856929's topic in General Nursing

    Shoot. Well, as I said, it's a curious phenomenon; you don't seem like a Fake Frank. I say it's better to be superstitious on this matter. ALWAYS stay away from the admins and especially their...

    Which Nurse are You?

    JKL33 replied to Guest856929's topic in General Nursing

    Ah, but these Fake Franks have their own problems, maybe due to their apparent belief that they can always play with fire (aka admin) and not get burned. Sometimes karma hunts them down, particularly...

    Which Nurse are You?

    Judicious Jessica, not listed: She or he quickly and accurately evaluates incoming information to determine that most of it is nonsense, which is kindly called malarkey. Malarkey is one of her/his...

    Which Nurse are You?

    JKL33 replied to Guest856929's topic in General Nursing

    I really do think she should be called Biter Betty, as this would better encompass the spirit of things, here at least. I trust we understand that Betty's a bit bitter but brash babes call her Biter....

    We Must Demolish NP Diploma Mills

    JKL33 replied to cprimavera's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The train of thought was more that of relative comparison. I guess if I have nothing else going for me I'll take solace in the fact that I'm not likely to become a victim of

    A Staffing Perfect Storm

    JKL33 replied to J.Adderton's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Jumping ship? Running off? It sounds like the problem is that your place is only able to scoot up to the table if they think they have to. They probably should've done that with the employees...

    Experiment!

    JKL33 replied to JKL33's topic in Ars Gratia Artis's Artis

    Who knows. I like to think that if they made a bona fide effort to support their position (even if it were anecdotal/personal experience), I would listen and try to understand. I would probably...

    Getting Flack For Not Getting Covid Vaccine

    JKL33 replied to EDnurseAmen's topic in Disaster Preparation

    [Position: I have been vaccinated. Readily.] Expressions of derision and attempts to humiliate rarely change minds and seem to rarely change things for the better overall, but that's just my...

    Experiment!

    JKL33 replied to JKL33's topic in Ars Gratia Artis's Artis

    Now that is a hard question to answer. You've almost stymied my somewhat prolific ability to respond (as if....) ? I have a lot of thoughts about things, but it's probably better for all our...

    We Must Demolish NP Diploma Mills

    JKL33 replied to cprimavera's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It was not my intention to take your comments out of context. A program that that is set up to allow participation around all of the students' other existing responsibilities is certainly an...

    We Must Demolish NP Diploma Mills

    JKL33 replied to cprimavera's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm not failing to consider that point. But given that things have evolved beyond that and the bases on which the profession is being advocated seem to be somewhat different than that, and certainly...

    JKL33 replied to cprimavera's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Are peers in your program doing the same? I'm not trying to challenge you in an argumentative way, but the answer to this does matter. A system where an individual student may come out with reasonable...

    Nurses aid**advice!

    JKL33 replied to Jstna96's topic in General Nursing

    Couple of things: Find another place to work; as above there are better places. You will have to comport yourself differently if you want to remain in better places and don't want to get...

    Do nurses hate nursing?

    JKL33 replied to pandora1212's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would think everyone is under certain degrees of pressure. For example, it isn't unusual even in decent-sized places for a respiratory therapist to be responsible for more than one unit, or for two...

    No one has said they don't. ? The poster was saying it would make sense if they wanted to incorporate advanced anatomy and physiology, but not just repeat the same anatomy and physiology that...

    We Must Demolish NP Diploma Mills

    JKL33 replied to cprimavera's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think I see what you meant. It's possible that some participants here are talking strictly about for-profits and some are talking about any school that seems to be putting good numbers of students...

    JKL33 replied to cprimavera's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Interesting. Not that I use the term frequently ?, but if I did it would not be so literally/strictly defined. I think common usage of the term is along the lines of a pill mill or a puppy mill,...

    The golden first year?

    JKL33 replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    It's tempting to advise you to start thinking about what else you might like to do with your life, but I don't think that would be the most responsible advice. It would be where I am with my life, not...

    Do nurses hate nursing?

    JKL33 replied to pandora1212's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    @Susie2310 - I don't disagree with you. I think part of my personal experience is that I had gained some significant degree of proficiency/expertise in bedside care by the time corporations in my area...

    Grocery store workers hazard pay

    JKL33 replied to 1gr8trnstudent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No it doesn't irritate me. First of all, it is laughable to even think of comparing their wages to those of an RN, let alone a physician. Secondly, in no way, shape, or form did they sign up to deal...

    NP education (supposedly) builds on a preexisting foundation that is no longer strictly required. Reference direct entry programs. And that whole thing about the nursing foundation never made any...
