    JKL33 replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

    Same problem that requires a work-around day after day after day or multiple times a day, and the entity who could easily fix it "....is aware." You know? People are always "aware" of things....for...

    Covid causing increased AMS in dementia patients

    JKL33 replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    These are the answers; not keeping patients in acute care. I feel for you. Very difficult work; heartbreaking and frustrating so many times. I'm sure you are doing the very best you can, and I...

    Doc Won't See Me Because I Treat Covid Patients

    JKL33 replied to bitter_betsy's topic in Disaster Preparation

    But you are missing the nuance: If faithfully and appropriately using recommended PPE then it isn't an "exposure." Members of the public-- many of whom are not taking any precautions let alone walking...

    Newly Diagnosed With Seizures

    JKL33 replied to Alexxoxox's topic in General Nursing

    Is there a way to separate the title "Nurse" away from your name?

    JKL33 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Not trying to be sarcastic/overly-simplistic, but have you asked your companions and your family members not to introduce you as a nurse? I've certainly done it quite a few times, mostly when...

    Am I doing the right thing?HELP

    JKL33 replied to RNShushain's topic in General Nursing

    Understood; makes sense. I'm not trying to change your mind. ? I just wondered if (knowing that she is giving you a huge line about this loss of license thing) there would be any possibility of...

    Am I doing the right thing?HELP

    JKL33 replied to RNShushain's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like you are comfortable with your planned actions. Just know that it is about 99.999% likely that she is FOS with ^ this. Also: Understand that there is no reason for her to...

    Forced into ICU With No Training

    JKL33 replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

    It wouldn't seem like anyone would need to watch Youtube videos for that, then. Kinda sounds like they didn't care what would be encountered or else maybe the reasonable thing to do would've been...

    Forced into ICU With No Training

    JKL33 replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

    Can't hurt to put out apps and see what happens. There are those who debate the part about whether you are likely to lose your license. Personally I consider those rebuttals moot and include...

    Order transcription

    JKL33 replied to PixxieDust's topic in General Nursing

    Can you clarify what this means? Does it mean you had titrated the med and signed off having done so, or in some way administered the med and signed off having done so, or...?

    New specialty bullying?

    JKL33 replied to amandaxyo's topic in General Specialties

    ? Terrible. But what you need to understand is that this has nothing to do with you or your background. The only thing it has to do with is people who are exceedingly insecure in their own...

    Hey Night Shift: Do You Have Transport?

    JKL33 replied to 2020newgrad's topic in General Nursing

    With regard to all situations where another nurse might "watch" my patients for a prolonged length of time (including a lunch break if able to take one), at some point I stopped informally asking...

    Is it reasonable for Nurses to be fired who "ran away" from work during the pandemic?

    JKL33 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Maybe after working faithfully year after year through life's day-to-day difficulties they were pissed that their employer had made no provisions for anything like this situation (even remotely like...

    Performance Evaluation

    JKL33 replied to Guest1165913's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    So when you receive your eval what do you do with it? Just curious. I think the first time I saw unfounded remarks I would rebut them in writing and pursue it with my manager, stating that they...

    Is it reasonable for Nurses to be fired who "ran away" from work during the pandemic?

    JKL33 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That might have been a reasonable thing to ponder if it weren't for the last 10 years of healthcare corporations more and more aggressively declaring to anyone of any experience or expertise: "There's...

    Need advice on transferring to a different position

    JKL33 replied to Spinnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Your manager, for reasons unlikely to be told to you in a straightforward manner, is not cooperating with the idea of you making an internal transfer. I know I should assume the best about...

    How could I do this?! Forgot to give report.

    JKL33 replied to Ioreth's topic in General Nursing

    Agree. It's good to realize that something hasn't gone ideally, recognize our part in it and seek to make a change. In terms of human emotion, yes we might feel "bad." As an offshoot to that...

    Unsure About Position: Critical Care Float Pool RN (+ ED)

    JKL33 replied to CowgirlHippy's topic in General Nursing

    Let your supervisor know that you accepted the position for the aforementioned reasons and that you are looking for that kind of arrangement. I honestly don't think that's asking too much. If...

    JKL33 replied to Ioreth's topic in General Nursing

    HIPAA violation and future employment opportunities

    They really aren't barred from saying anything that isn't slander, which involves untruth. Many just limit their information disclosures to avoid potential legal

    Is it reasonable for Nurses to be fired who "ran away" from work during the pandemic?

    JKL33 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Your beef is with management. They might not have control over people disappearing (arguably), but they do have control over their own policies and how evenly they implement them. It seems most...
