    How to Deal with Staff Who Don't Like You?

    JKL33 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Out of sincere curiosity, why would you be offended by what I said? I'm sure it's difficult for you to believe, especially here where it's just strangers typing things, but I do have compassion...

    COVID-19: Suspected Abuse of Systems

    JKL33 replied to Missingyou's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Your facility made their own bed. Why worry about these coworkers any more than worry about abusive employer practices? Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that what they are doing is fine in my...

    Doc Won't See Me Because I Treat Covid Patients

    JKL33 replied to bitter_betsy's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Because when you arrived they said "Hey, you're that ED nurse, you can't come in here" or what? Or did they just ask you the questions about whether you'd had any known exposures and you said "maybe."...

    HIPAA violation and future employment opportunities

    JKL33 replied to kmcd90's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    It seems there are various ways that individuals may be held accountable for their actions, including the possibilities of fines and jail time, although these seem to be (very?) rare situations with...

    JKL33 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Post-shift anxiety

    JKL33 replied to rnash679's topic in General Nursing

    I can remember reviewing things in my mind after getting home and occasionally calling back when something popped into my mind that I wanted to clarify for the next nurse or wanted to tell someone...

    New OR RN questioning everything...need advice!

    JKL33 replied to babyRNinabigworld's topic in General Nursing

    Not to state the overly obvious, but it's probably wise to reflect heavily on the fact that there are going to be pros and cons to any work setting or specialty. The patient interaction you are...

    How to Respond When Family Blames You for Patient Dying

    JKL33 replied to CaliRN2019's topic in General Nursing

    Hard to say how I feel about this. I agree with parts of what each poster has already written. For me it probably comes down to the idea that I don't really internalize guilt from situations I...

    Got The Vaccine! Share Your Experience

    JKL33 replied to Nurse SMS's topic in Disaster Preparation

    None of my business by I hope you will review this with your PCP and discuss your options. This scenario doesn't overwhelm one with the idea of any kind of allergic reaction/substance-specific...

    Despite High Demand For Nurses, Colleges Aren't Keeping Up

    JKL33 replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I also have much for which I am very thankful; namely a lovely and loving family and way more than I could ask for. I'm not indiscriminately "cheerful," it's true that no one would ever mistake me for...

    Issue With Narcotic Count

    JKL33 replied to meiplums's topic in General Nursing

    I had to go back and re-read ?: S/he said count "on my own," (not own cart). I assume this was an attempt to try to verify a correct count even though a witness was not present, but then even that was...

    Do nurses with suspended licenses or on probation due to drugs seem to end up working in dialysis clinics?

    JKL33 replied to CoThG's topic in General Nursing

    Who cares about how he frames this to those who have no right to be involved. Does he owe it to every person with whom he interacts to tell the private details of any difficulties he is or isn't...

    Despite High Demand For Nurses, Colleges Aren't Keeping Up

    JKL33 replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No worries. I'm working very hard on plan B. My plan B has already taken me into other worlds where I nearly walk around with my mouth gaping all day because the environment is so utterly different...

    Struggling with time management - what am I missing?

    JKL33 replied to NewGradNurse3's topic in General Nursing

    Regardless of the fact that you are a new grad who can be expected to become somewhat more efficient just with experience (knowing what is important vs. what isn't, experience with various situations...

    So Sick Of Rudeness At Work

    JKL33 replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

    I used to get annoyed and say things back, not very productively--when I had to deal with the kind of things mentioned in the OP. Now, not only do I rarely say anything, I'm rarely annoyed. Just...

    Despite High Demand For Nurses, Colleges Aren't Keeping Up

    JKL33 replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I understand what you mean but my overall point is that it is never ever going to be bad for huge healthcare corporations if the nursing labor pool is flush with plenty of nurses. The more the better....

    Nurses make me sick

    JKL33 replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    People wouldn't mock it if it meant something. They mock it because it has been cheapened by those who offer it, not everyone else. The derision is directly related to the fact that it has become some...

    What is up with the level of entitlement?

    JKL33 replied to sofla98's topic in General Nursing

    Not sarcasm: I'm not sure what oath you took but whatever it was you seem to be conflating your duty to patients with your beliefs related to how a worker should work. I hope you realize that although...

    Nursing Student Wants to Quit

    JKL33 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Personal opinion: Not liking the material would concern me. Spend some time reconsidering the material and deciding how you feel about it.

    How do you deal with workplace discrimination?

    JKL33 replied to Lovethenurse2b25's topic in General Nursing

    This is downright manipulative nuttiness. She is a manipulator and thinks it's gonna be an uphill battle to figure out how to manipulate you. That's what this part of it is about, period....

    How do you tell a family member their loved one will die?

    JKL33 replied to CaliRN2019's topic in General Nursing

    Usually open the conversation by first standing by in a mode that could be called "silently engaged" for awhile (not intrusively but anywhere from 30 sec to couple of mins) - then asking if they have...

    dorsogluteal injection, nerve damage

    JKL33 replied to Nursefromscandinavia's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    You would need to be off your mark to hit the sciatic, or maybe variant patient anatomy was involved. Have you looked at anatomical diagrams? Did you give the injection in that area? Review DG...
