    Personal Life Affecting Work Life

    JKL33 replied to Newnurse24's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't want to add a bunch of clarifications to my post other than my initial framing of it. But I will clarify one thing: Nursing, and any job within it, is not working on anything with...

    What constitutes an IV insertion "attempt"?

    JKL33 replied to MunoRN's topic in General Nursing

    I really don't think so because of the possibility of people jabbing in and out, here and there, making completely separate punctures with the same catheter. Which I have seen, thankfully

    Personal Life Affecting Work Life

    JKL33 replied to Newnurse24's topic in General Nursing

    We are all going to have our own thoughts about this. I can't stress enough: We all have our own personal make-up and our own multitude of life experiences that come together into who we are. With...

    I’m in a toxic relationship with the ER

    JKL33 replied to Wbm33's topic in Health, Stress Management

    You're in an even better position to make a decision about leaving now, having tried some adjustments that were an improvement and months later recognizing that you still aren't feeling all that well...

    What constitutes an IV insertion "attempt"?

    JKL33 replied to MunoRN's topic in General Nursing

    The device I've been most proficient with is the BD angiocath/Autoguard. For the purposes of this discussion only, I will proclaim that I am very good with it, using one very smooth and quick motion...

    Student Attempted IV 7 Times

    JKL33 replied to ChickenHealer's topic in General Nursing

    I would hazard a guess that's exactly what many of us thought you were reporting. I

    Clinicals at hospital you also work at?

    JKL33 replied to slip_into_colors's topic in General Nursing

    Understandable that you would wonder about that but in reality it doesn't appear to be an awkward thing. You will be introducing yourself clearly as a student nurse to patients when you are in the...

    Student Attempted IV 7 Times

    JKL33 replied to ChickenHealer's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, Muno: I will expand upon my thought. 1. "Lean" business doctrine and staff nurses being the primary clinical-site teachers of students do not go together. When "standard work"...

    Student Attempted IV 7 Times

    JKL33 replied to ChickenHealer's topic in General Nursing

    Haven't seen it personally but you are right that this thread is concerning for the above. I'm with you and completely agree with your

    Legalities of Paper Charting

    JKL33 replied to MOmama's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Yes. Everything else notwithstanding, this is internal process is going to go on in any place that cares about anything. IMO the one thing you need to follow through is the fact that, as it...

    Student Attempted IV 7 Times

    JKL33 replied to ChickenHealer's topic in General Nursing

    That's for sure. This isn't a matter of "times change;" it is a straight up decrease in standards by which schools are operating. Nursing students are not paying to be taught by unaffiliated...

    Student Attempted IV 7 Times

    JKL33 replied to ChickenHealer's topic in General Nursing

    Okay. Don't hesitate to do this if you have any question about what you are to be doing or are unsure about an opportunity that is proposed to you while you're onsite.

    rotating shifts

    JKL33 replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in General Nursing

    Nope, absolutely not. But you need to leave your pregnancy completely out of this. Completely. You accepted the position under significant terms that changed before you could even get off of...

    Accusations are demoralizing :-(

    JKL33 replied to nurseguy213's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Don't make the mistake of assuming something is about you and then choosing to take it personally. If you need help changing your thought process, go ahead and ask for clarification when these...

    Back pain... the abysmal side effect of nursing

    JKL33 replied to NickiLaughs's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Use good body mechanics at all times, whether at home or at work. At work, insist upon not functioning as a "people mover" without adequate help. A good rule of thumb is found in your job...

    Student Attempted IV 7 Times

    JKL33 replied to ChickenHealer's topic in General Nursing

    I'm afraid to ask. PLEASE tell me that a representative of your school is on-site 100% of the time during clinicals and it isn't just this clinical coordinator person who shows up a few times a...

    Employer "lied" about pay rate

    JKL33 replied to George001's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Ideally? Ideally I would find a job at least as good and would leave pronto. But that's because I like people to experience natural consequences from their purposeful actions. I also believe that if...

    COVID Immunized Guilt

    JKL33 replied to TravelNurseLady's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Okey doke! That isn't the nature of your role and you know it. Exactly. Okay, I guess I don't have too much harsh talk to bring you to your senses, LOL. But look,...

    Order transcription

    JKL33 replied to PixxieDust's topic in General Nursing

    I think I understand now. You signed off the order. You transcribed the order onto an MAR. A dose was given (by whom it doesn't matter) and signed off on the MAR that you had created...

    Difficult AMA situations

    JKL33 replied to CaliRN2019's topic in General Nursing

    This is going to hinge mostly upon the patient's capacity to make the decision to leave AMA. Just a review: Capacity is generally an assessment by providers (exact process may vary by state);...

    Coping with the Death of a Fellow Nurse

    JKL33 replied to Nurse-please's topic in General Nursing

    Another aspect is the idea of these being coworkers who are our similar age--that is to say, they are young enough that they are there working alongside us. They are people whose strengths we can...

    Coping with the Death of a Fellow Nurse

    JKL33 replied to Nurse-please's topic in General Nursing

    I did know a nurse whom I had worked with peripherally and always admired, and I did care for him/her as a patient in a scenario that was terminal. I hadn't seen the person for some months (since s/he...

    Second Guessing Myself. Did I handle this situation correctly?

    JKL33 replied to RosalindaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the reply. I think the process sounds concerning for a couple of different reasons but that is getting way off track and out of your purview. You did what you were supposed to do and...
