    Pressure injuries - WOC nurses, please help!

    JKL33 replied to MLBBLM's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    What is management doing to ensure that there is time for all the things that go into preventing pressure injuries (which is not by any means just turning someone

    How do you deal with workplace discrimination?

    JKL33 replied to Lovethenurse2b25's topic in General Nursing

    This. I'm sorry but I think what you have experienced so far is completely inappropriate. Frankly I think it is shocking with or without the race/culture factor. It is completely unacceptable...

    Nurses make me sick

    JKL33 replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    Tell the truth: You have one of those shirts that says "Here to save your *** not kiss it ?" I think you should share your thoughts on TikTok, insta and fakebook where you will more easily hit...

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

    JKL33 replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Sure it is! They stand to benefit as much as or more than anyone. It has been clear for a long time that they will go to any length to not have to deal fairly with the employees they already...

    Looking for ICU Preceptor

    JKL33 replied to Kricket's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Would just like to point out that many places are not in any position to be nearly this choosy. Honestly it's a bit offensive, as if on top of everything workers shall now be expected to arrive at the...

    Residency vs orientation?

    JKL33 replied to ScrubsAndMacarons's topic in General Students

    Got news for you all: [Nursing] "residency" used to be called: Orientation. Now you might think of orientation as only what is known as "general orientation" where you learn about the...

    Mean girls in Pre-Req / Nursing School, how do you deal with them?

    JKL33 replied to TheNursingdoll's topic in General Students

    Didn't read replies. These people don't feel good about themselves, period. They are massively insecure. Remember that. They have a double-whammy because they are also toxic (as opposed to being...

    Covid Patients on enhanced droplet precautions in a regular room

    JKL33 replied to telenurse2009's topic in Disaster Preparation

    A rule-out unit is not the same exposure risk as a unit where both tested-positives and tested-negatives are together. As a covid-negative patient, would you rather share a nurse with (or be...

    What else can be done about a nurse sleeping on duty??

    JKL33 replied to Kastiara's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely not. This is not an appropriate use or function of a patient's chart. I am surprised at some of the replies. Creativity is not required for this situation; it needs to be immediately...

    What is up with the level of entitlement?

    JKL33 replied to sofla98's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's best not to paint a whole group this way. There are hard workers and complainers in all demographics. I'd imagine these new nurses were taught the same idealized version of nursing...

    Failed clinical portion of nursing school during COVID

    JKL33 replied to candicenguyen's topic in General Students

    And every lack of a even a hint of cooperation from hospitals is another thing people should pay attention to. It doesn't hurt them one bit to deprive futures nurses of clinical experiences. Hopefully...

    Failed clinical portion of nursing school during COVID

    JKL33 replied to candicenguyen's topic in General Students

    FWIW I think you are 100% correct about these two things. It is shady. It's a racket. I haven't read every reply, but I saw that you mentioned that medical school doesn't try to get away with...

    New Nurse - Unsafe Hospital

    JKL33 replied to NurseL20's topic in General Nursing

    The conversation itself might put one into an early grave or at least cause some kind of brain damage. I still remember the day that I tried to explain (to an authority figure I absolutely should not...

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

    JKL33 replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Because if you have to wager a bet, chances for being treated like a human being are better in any of those other roles/places (except maybe the middle management role). That's just sad. I...

    Covid Patients on enhanced droplet precautions in a regular room

    JKL33 replied to telenurse2009's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That is the inappropriate part. It is why I don't feel sorry for hospitals and their troubles right now. This is how they operate and no matter how desperate things get they staunchly refuse to...

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

    JKL33 replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The contracts are practically proof all on their own that there is no nursing shortage. If there were a real shortage, there would be no nurse anywhere who would have to sign one to get a job, even as...

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

    JKL33 replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    These fools have spent the last decade or more with their "lean" BS! That's what they have been doing. They don't have any room to breathe on a good day. Their entire plan has been to cut...

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

    JKL33 replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Maybe some, but I don't even fully believe that. Rural areas have people who have history and roots in those areas, they want careers and they need jobs just like anyone anywhere else and quite a few...

    Check out PPE App

    JKL33 replied to MeganMN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Easy. Ask your manager what areas have been designated for break that don't require you to violate the precautions that they are expecting and don't force employees to register every day admitting...

    Frustrating

    JKL33 replied to nursebeth77's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Go to your manager and let him/her know that if there is a chance you will find yourself being placed in that role again you must have the appropriate training. *Don't* talk too much. Come up with...

    I hope this is not true about colleague violence

    What else can be done about a nurse sleeping on duty??

    JKL33 replied to Kastiara's topic in General Nursing

    There are a lot of things you could do/try, but I suggest you make it someone else's problem, in real time, every time it happens. You need to take care of patients, not babysit this coworker....

    I hope this is not true about colleague violence

    JKL33 replied to porscheXN's topic in General Nursing

    While it was never wrong to have sought to improve collegiality in this (or any) profession, this is another classic example of how an idea has been co-opted and pretty much turned into something else...

    'Taking Call? Am I missing something??

    JKL33 replied to Calbrunette's topic in General Nursing

    I suggest thinking about it like this: (#call hrs. x $/hr) + (# regular hrs. x usual hrly wage). Divide total by total # hrs (call + regular). This is the basic average hourly wage you are...
