    Continuous PAPR area for COVID patients/rule outs?

    JKL33 replied to Allison Greco's topic in Emergency

    Is your concern about cross-contamination? Or it seems like overkill? Or

    I received a job offer for LTC. Should I take it?

    JKL33 replied to nurse1045's topic in General Nursing

    While it's good to realize that a decision like this doesn't have to be permanent (I.e. you can leave at any point, pretty much), if you take the position you should do so with the mindset that you...

    Dilemma in getting a new job where spouse's ex works

    JKL33 replied to ALM5692's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Seems like he thinks this is quite a bit of a mess. Otherwise, plenty of people get divorced and if they are reasonable they understand that their exes may eventually have new partners. Unless...

    I'm a new employee, how do I deal with a passive aggressive coworker?

    JKL33 replied to cookie123d's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Maybe I should clarify my original responses from months ago. There is more than one way to ignore something. There's "you're clearly making me so uncomfortable but I'm too afraid to say...

    Told I am not helpful

    JKL33 replied to whatintheworld's topic in General Nursing

    I have mixed thoughts about this general topic. I worked as a CNA while in school. At one place always worked with the same very nice nurse who was usually available and very willing to lend a...

    Continuous pulse oximetry monitoring and COVID

    JKL33 replied to macleod340's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Not to be a total Debbie Downer but, you know, being supportive (with regard to this particular topic) means action, pronto. Like, if we can't fix our alarm system immediately then we are going to...

    New Nurse Not Happy / Anxious About Job

    JKL33 replied to Ariana30's topic in General Nursing

    I can't imagine why they would tell you not to cooperate with a DOH investigation; it seems that the most likely reason would be so that they can throw you under the bus. Either that or they haven't...

    How important is it to have a job in the medical field while in nursing school?

    JKL33 replied to Anatomy Jane's topic in General Nursing

    So in the ED, for example, yes the techs are performing some skills that you aren't, such as phlebotomy, urinary catheterization, applying splints, assisting with lots of other procedures by providers...

    Managers, Nurses and Delegation: Who Has Authority?

    JKL33 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I think this is the crux of the issue. Your new assignment is to assist on LTC. Now I have no doubt that your superior would love for you to get all of your management work done and assist on the LTC...

    Mandatory Staff Pictures In Patient Rooms

    JKL33 replied to ClassOf2004's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think I have a real problem with it either. I wondered if it was an issue of the photos possibly being misused. Our photos are on our badges, yes, but someone would have to be pretty bold to...

    Getting used to this med pass! Is it just me?

    JKL33 replied to vwgirl's topic in General Nursing

    Less than 60" per patient? Nah, I wouldn't even entertain that idea or let anyone get away with saying that's what's supposed to be happening. Some people are going to have to come up with something...

    Sucky day + unsupportive spouse

    My person would never speak to me in this manner. Never has, ever. With that said, My initial reaction to reading this ^ is that someone has some significant fear/intolerance of the...

    New Nurse Not Happy / Anxious About Job

    This is unacceptable treatment in my opinion. I would do as above--take the opportunity to learn what you can and just provide the very best care that you can. Carry yourself with purpose....

    New Nurse Not Happy / Anxious About Job

    JKL33 replied to Ariana30's topic in General Nursing

    Can you tell us your current standing with them? Are they disciplining you for this, threatening you with further moves they plan to take, or did they just speak harshly? I'm not trying to minimize...

    What is your opinion on "calling in sick" when not really sick?

    JKL33 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. And that is an issue that is completely within management's purview. They have both the responsibility and the authority to handle it. It is 100% their baby, whether people do these things...

    Failure to report abuse and relied the supervisor

    JKL33 replied to Ariana30's topic in General Nursing

    My guess is that the full reporting procedure wasn't followed. This would be something like a written incident report or another form that your facility uses to document incidents such as this....

    JKL33 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    I do agree with your work ethic and my history of missed work is very similar to yours. My reasons are different though. It's just the way I was raised; to kind of mind-over-matter things and...

    Out of My Element Again

    JKL33 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I admit I just perused the emojis to see if there was one that looked like "Oh, come on, now." I will hope your last statement was an attempt at humor. I don't wish to be mean, but you are not going...

    In general: A waiver for section 1135 of the SSA has been issued by CMS during the Covid-19 disaster response. And some of that waiver relates to hospitals' ability to redirect patients to receive...
