    How to deal with lazy OB nurse?

    JKL33 replied to Nurse_hmoob's topic in General Specialties

    Exactly. Handle it in real time, +/- fill out incident as appropriate. I definitely would've filled one out in the scenario you describe. And I never fill these out as if they are a "gotcha" or...

    How to deal with lazy OB nurse?

    JKL33 replied to Nurse_hmoob's topic in General Specialties

    Hear me out: Most of this is not truly your concern. I don't know how some people don't chart hardly anything. I don't care if their charting looks like they've done nothing the entire shift. If...

    The End Of An Era

    JKL33 replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe the universe knew that it was perfect timing in her career for a little pause or reminder. And it sent one that posed essentially no risk to a patient. So, gratitude is kind of in order....

    Old home healthcare client

    JKL33 replied to Jakesmom917's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    It's more that it might be considered to be (or give the appearance of) a violation of someone's privacy rather than actually being a HIPAA violation. Beyond that, it's a matter of judgment. For...

    Public Reprimand.. implications?

    JKL33 replied to ALnurse85's topic in Patient Medications

    I'm late to the post, here, but....how in the world did this get to this point? I believe your facility has thrown you under the bus and driven it completely over you. Why was any...

    Required to do free visit??

    JKL33 replied to Stef_nurse's topic in Home Health

    That is true, but it is still a business endeavor of the employer. This is a marketing expense for them. Should nurses pay their phone bills, too? I agree that if working as an IC then you either...

    Advice for providing culturally competent nursing care to an Arab patient

    JKL33 replied to chocolateocean's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    @chocolateocean, your first step is to get to know your patient. Maybe you have tried to do this, but your post sounds as if you are simply going off what you think you know. You are way less...

    Not good at taking my own advice

    JKL33 replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    Spend time with your dear loved one who will be leaving for college. You're also making sort of a false dichotomy in your mind about the one upcoming schedule where you aren't pre-planning to...

    Student Attempted IV 7 Times

    JKL33 replied to ChickenHealer's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't say that a student piercing or digging or doing something 7 times is an indication for an IO. It indicates a lot of other things, but not that. Or did you mean that you know someone...

    Required to do free visit??

    JKL33 replied to Stef_nurse's topic in Home Health

    I would expect to be paid for regular meet-and-greets. The only thing you have to barter with is your professional time. The meet-and-greet isn't for the purposes of seeing whether you're fit to...

    Continuous pulse oximetry monitoring and COVID

    JKL33 replied to macleod340's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I use earlobes and foreheads when having trouble with pleth, another key being to stabilize the cord along it's length if using one of these two sites so that it is isn't pulling. I see people put...

    PAPR, mask underneath, protect others?

    JKL33 replied to ashagreyjoy's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Isn't it just that with the vented respirator masks there is a concentrated stream of exhaust directed at whatever direction you are facing (I.e. the patient)? And with a PAPR the exhaust can be...

    HCA StaRN contract

    JKL33 replied to nursingsprettycool17's topic in General Nursing

    Or they might not freely disclose their vindictive practices--if they happen to be doing them, of course. It was good of you to update the post and if you end up working for them and are able to...

    Posting Styles

    JKL33 replied to Davey Do's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    Ellipses, double dashes, parentheses, semicolons and perhaps my favorite, the em dash. I love them all.

    Vaccine Hesitancy

    JKL33 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Wuzzie, these are my thoughts--nothing personal. Based upon what has gone on in my area I would consider this is straight up punitive, short-sighted and also problematic for the usual justifications...

    Calling in the “On Call” person when someone calls out

    JKL33 replied to Ginger27's topic in General Nursing

    No this is not a legal or ethical issue. If there is somehow true overstaff on a unit that can reasonably float someone to cover the hole, they will do that first. They don't want to pay...

    Leaving Work / Nurse Duties Incomplete Passing To Night Shift

    JKL33 replied to coffeeandvendingmachines's topic in General Nursing

    Whenever appropriate, I prefer the verbiage of "s/he still needs [x, y, z] rather than "I didn't get to [x, y, z] because...." There is no need for us to sound like these scenarios exist because...

    Vaccine Hesitancy

    JKL33 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    These same elements (and more) have also given rise to legitimate concern unrelated to conspiracies. Random thoughts: In order to talk about this with others in the community, it's important...

    What constitutes an IV insertion "attempt"?

    JKL33 replied to MunoRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, we do. And that is the point where I agree that starting IVs isn't the be-all-end-all of what makes a nurse. Not at all. People are better and worse at many different pieces of nursing and that...

    What constitutes an IV insertion "attempt"?

    JKL33 replied to MunoRN's topic in General Nursing

    Seems like a combination of issues and circumstances have brought us to where we are... How many of us practiced on someone before attempting an IV insertion on a patient? I did. A nurse allowed...

    Multiple doses in same syringe?

    JKL33 replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    Just me: Once worked where there was a safe in which we were to store labeled syringes of controlled substances for the exact type of situation you're talking about. The safe was in a...

    How can I be a better nursing professor?

    JKL33 replied to GS ED RN's topic in General Students

    Agree with the above sentiments and will reinforce. Nursing seems proficient at twisting the idea of nurses demonstrating responsibility into some ridiculous scenario where students essentially...

    In 4th of nursing school, but don’t like nursing what should I do? (Kind of long sorry, please don’t be mean)

    JKL33 replied to marymv3's topic in General Students

    I don't think it's wrong, necessarily, to finish your bachelor's degree. But I want to caution you about "sunk cost fallacy." This is basically where you stick with something only because of what...

    16 Hour Shifts

    JKL33 replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

    Just ignore the texts. If your phone has the capability of turning on/off read receipts for individual contacts, consider turning them on individually only for the contacts whom you wish to have...
