    New grad from online RN program with ZERO CLINICAL EXPERIENCE

    JKL33 replied to angel1312's topic in General Nursing

    I will apologize if I misread your tone. It sounded to me like you were trying to make some kind of superior distinction between your own feelings and the feelings of those who have posted along the...

    New grad from online RN program with ZERO CLINICAL EXPERIENCE

    JKL33 replied to angel1312's topic in General Nursing

    I will speak for myself about ^ that. It isn't that it should never temporarily be an issue during a pandemic (which, yes, we all know is global)...it's that whether it is due to a pandemic or not, it...

    Can't get covid at work

    JKL33 replied to missmollie's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It means that hospital admins wish that it were impossible to get Covid-19 at work. They know full well that the statement that you can't get covid-19 at work is pure baloney. Sorry, I know you...

    Can't get covid at work

    JKL33 replied to missmollie's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This is disgusting behavior. I would hate to be such a complete tool that I was willing to act this way. The alternative, which is to be stupid enough to thoroughly believe this, doesn't sound real...

    I was just hoping it was sarcasm.

    Reading the note wrong and thought MD note was an order

    JKL33 replied to xmsanta's topic in Patient Medications

    I hear what you're saying with your post and agree it is inappropriate. You have provided a great example of this problem. I actually might consider filling out an incident report over something like...

    Reading the note wrong and thought MD note was an order

    JKL33 replied to xmsanta's topic in Patient Medications

    Yes they do, that's why they wrote it the way the did instead of writing an order to discontinue the medication. They are the consultant and they want the primary admitting service to mull it over in...

    New job. Got injured. Fired for unexcused absences during new hire probation period... what did I do wrong?

    JKL33 replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in General Nursing

    One explanation I have heard is that the resume and application are two different beasts. The resume is a marketing tool. Some people say it is your choice to leave certain positions off your resume....

    How to deal with stress at work?

    JKL33 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Meditate on the idea that it isn't going to help anything to worry about any of this stuff. You're not going to do everything to everyone's satisfaction all the time. Aim for doing the best you...

    New grad from online RN program with ZERO CLINICAL EXPERIENCE

    JKL33 replied to angel1312's topic in General Nursing

    What reason is being given for this? Is it supposedly because of Covid-19 or now just being straight-up marketed? Out of

    New RN Already Making Mistakes

    JKL33 replied to BabyTurtle2k11's topic in General Nursing

    In a manner of speaking, yes they are. You are in the earlier stages of progressing toward expertise. So...lacking? Sure...but it is much more true and accurate to just note that you are learning....

    Asymptomatic, no known exposure: Should we get tested?

    JKL33 replied to RNrhythm's topic in Disaster Preparation

    And you sound like you are challenging me based on an assumption about what I might think. There are other reasons this practice could be of lower relative value than just not believing in...

    Covering 1:1’s in the ER

    JKL33 replied to Ryan William's topic in Emergency

    Yes--or poor interpretation of such. Kind of like how it was supposedly an OSHA violation to have access to a drink at one's

    Which route?

    JKL33 replied to MomtaRN2B2020's topic in General Nursing

    I gotta say that working multiple days in a row on midshift is going to be brutal. Maybe some people like working the stretch in order to get the stretch off but be aware that midshift in the ED is no...

    Which route?

    JKL33 replied to MomtaRN2B2020's topic in General Nursing

    This is a personal decision but I will say that your situation seems to be at least as well-positioned to succeed in the ED as any random new grad RN. You don't have acute care RN experience but you...

    Asymptomatic, no known exposure: Should we get tested?

    JKL33 replied to RNrhythm's topic in Disaster Preparation

    And what they were implying was never true. As far as I have ever been able to tell from looking into the issue after hearing this claim innumerable times, HCWs' rate of MRSA colonization isn't wildly...

    Can't get covid at work

    JKL33 replied to missmollie's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Except that I don't actually have to stand near anyone at the grocery store or provide personal care to anyone at the grocery store--let alone people already known to be sick with Covid-19. I also...

    Cutting myself short?..but trying to make the best

    JKL33 replied to WonderousIvy's topic in Emergency

    Honestly...sorry...I cannot fathom this statement coming from a new RN under almost any circumstances that involve any kind of ED anywhere, including CAH. Is it possible that your other life...

    Bad nursing orientation

    This sounds like a problem that is soon to not be a problem anymore. ??? Put your head down and make it

    Covering 1:1’s in the ER

    JKL33 replied to Ryan William's topic in Emergency

    I do like your suggestions; we probably all do. The issue is that practical thinking and problem-solving by staff nurses is often not the part that is lacking in many of these situations. It's more...

    Say something or no?

    JKL33 replied to Dawnkeibals's topic in General Nursing

    Your proposed intervention is really interesting to me! Here you report about a territorial coworker who is already worrying about inappropriate things and ramping up for an inappropriate...

    Need help with extremely hard decision about where to work

    Personal opinions only: Not an appropriate criteria. It is not a genuine independent measure of anything and is only as good as the ongoing effort undertaken to uphold the spirit of the...
