    Do nurses hate nursing?

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

    Ah. Yes. Thank you. No, I most definitely didn't become numb to it. In some ways I'd like to be that kind of person who can just ignore/roll with it, but for better or worse I'm not. The part...

    Do nurses hate nursing?

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

    I think the spirit of that camaraderie does exist within nursing. The problem is that the more pressure middle management nurses face from their (business and nursing) superiors, the less they are...

    Do nurses hate nursing?

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

    Not trying to be silly, and I do want to answer your questions and engage in the discussion. But can you rephrase? I'm not sure what you mean. Thank you.

    When patients assault staff

    JKL33 replied to CaliRN2019's topic in General Nursing

    I would never worry about what the hospital thought about how I was going to handle something like this. By the way, HIPAA has specific provisions regarding disclosing patient information if...

    Do nurses hate nursing?

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

    I think it's best if you make up your own mind about nursing as you experience it. This is way more nuanced than some idea of, "If people are positive and happy they don't come online to tell...

    Psychiatric patients refusing to move rooms?

    JKL33 replied to Ashleynurse101's topic in General Nursing

    What would you do if the patient was in any other area of the floor/unit that was not conducive to the care of other patients? I agree that this can't be presented as a choice, and even if it...

    WOW 2 days in

    JKL33 replied to autism4life's topic in General Nursing

    I have a lot of hope for you based on the tone of your writing. The number one thing you can do is not underestimate yourself and start flailing around being all self-deprecating. You can learn this...

    Just a Little Venting

    JKL33 replied to Kbelle's topic in General Nursing

    I understand, but my only context/experience would suggest that I've encountered this so very little not because there are no rude or frustrated people around me but because of the way I view and...

    Non-Traditional New Grad Seeking Job Advice

    JKL33 replied to DancinGal's topic in General Nursing

    Remember that the reason that getting some bedside experience as a new RN becomes general advice for so many people is because of the goals of so many people--not because it is philosophically the...

    Just a Little Venting

    JKL33 replied to Kbelle's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, and I DO feel sorry about having to engage in stupidity. I know sorry isn't the perfect word but everyone knows what's being conveyed; it's less apologizing and more commiserating. I've said it...

    Just a Little Venting

    JKL33 replied to Kbelle's topic in General Nursing

    You pretty much can. "Hello, Dr. So and So. Due to the hospital's policy about reporting critical labs, I am required to let you know that Mr. X's _____ is ____." And if it is something that...

    Civility in Nursing

    JKL33 replied to greysfan_LPN2RN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Honestly I'm so tired of this topic. Everyone has been on the receiving end of interactions that could have been more civil. Likewise, nearly everyone has had times where they have not spoken or...

    My current job is putting my license at risk, and I feel my only option is to quit while I still have my reputation. How do I address this in interview?

    JKL33 replied to wernicke's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, have to ask: People assume she is in line, or it's actually going to happen? If she's so problematic she may not be as in line as people might think. One can hope? As far as what...

    Anxiety Over Past Mistakes

    JKL33 replied to anxiousnewgrad58's topic in General Nursing

    I would expect that maybe a CNA would know that diabetics require proper foot care. I definitely would not expect them to know the reasons, the pathophysiology, or what specifically constitutes proper...

    Patient’s medication taken away

    JKL33 replied to Marlen0802's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, so to the best of my knowledge he can be required to voluntarily surrender these as a condition of participation (I.e. he can choose to surrender them or choose not to participate in the...

    Late for Practicum

    JKL33 replied to Guest 441704's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I actually think you have switched over to just being straight-up disrespectful (of the situation) at this point. You do not appear to me to be responding from a position of any empathy whatsoever. If...

    Patient’s medication taken away

    JKL33 replied to Marlen0802's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure I agree with the above or maybe I'm not understanding the situation. I assumed we were talking about medications the patient was prescribed at (hospital) discharge and that he has now...

    Late for Practicum

    JKL33 replied to Guest 441704's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Obviously. Maybe the loved one died the week before, too, and the OP is a complete scammer who tried to use that as an excuse for being late for clinical one day. Maybe. But that type of behavior...

    Late for Practicum

    JKL33 replied to Guest 441704's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    @londonflo - I don't disagree with the spirit of what you have written above. But this person was 30 minutes late following a death. So all the time you are thinking s/he had to think about what...

    Late for Practicum

    JKL33 replied to Guest 441704's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Of course not. Lots of things don't take much time - even stopping and picking up coffee for the preceptor wouldn't have taken that much time either. The question is whether it's the first...

    Late for Practicum

    JKL33 replied to Guest 441704's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    That is utterly ridiculous. I'm sorry you are being taught that nurses should be treated this way. I'm sure there are problems with students and their excuses, but unless there is more to the...

    I need advice about my new RN job at a drug rehab center

    JKL33 replied to RandomPsychNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I have no experience with this setting. But I am hard-pressed to think of a situation that requires an RN to monitor and manage acute situations while at the same time being appropriate for that RN to...

    Late for Practicum

    JKL33 replied to Guest 441704's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Are we to understand that once you arrived you didn't let her know the reason for your tardiness? And if so, may I ask why? I am sorry for your loss and I don't wish to add insult to your current...

    Tell me what you think

    JKL33 replied to redhead33's topic in General Nursing

    Next time one of the other managers wants your help, have them text your manager. I agree with the above suggestion to let your manager know that the other managers are reaching out to you...
