    JKL33 replied to Biggredd305's topic in General Nursing

    Nurse Stealing Narcotic And Get Away With It

    JKL33 replied to April90's topic in General Nursing

    So are you participating in a count when you come on duty and when you go off duty? And using proper steps to report these discrepancies? What have you done so far. What happens when you...

    Polite way to deal with AWOL CNA’s?

    JKL33 replied to Beepbeepbeep's topic in General Nursing

    Agree you will need to write them up. Keep trying to develop a rapport with each of them, but even that needs to be done within the boundaries of the understanding that we are all going to do our...

    Communication Burn Out

    JKL33 replied to sleeplessinseattle's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What are you doing and saying in reply to these chastisements? Are you responding: "I am directly in the middle of communicating about this as we speak." "I have already...

    JKL33 replied to newgradrn20205's topic in General Nursing

    Heparin Error

    JKL33 replied to rnash679's topic in General Nursing

    What I was going to say about heparin flushes has already been said. Then I realized that's not actually the extent of it from my perspective. Not looking at and not knowing what's in our...

    Is PPE really helping?

    JKL33 replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    There is nothing about this entire scenario that affords nurses the realistic ability to put on appropriate PPE that is being used as it was intended in the manner one would ideally be able to...

    I feel like I'm cracking

    JKL33 replied to Serotonin2's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I will strongly encourage you to speak with your primary care provider about this. This isn't unusual, and I'm not saying that there is something seriously wrong with you. It's just that there is...

    Is it outside the scope of practice for an RN to tell another RN to call 911?

    JKL33 replied to Guest688994's topic in General Nursing

    Having A Nurse As A Patient

    JKL33 replied to SkyDancer77's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Be kind, try to forge a genuine rapport without pandering, and otherwise ignore the negative aspects of the behaviors. My experience has been that the part about forging the rapport is much more...

    Nice coworker but I'm concerned

    JKL33 replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    Rather than everybody reporting back to each other about the latest outrageous aspects of her practice that have been discovered, you each have the responsibility to handle this in real time. For...

    Let go after orientation and feeling lost now. Need advice

    JKL33 replied to sunflower101's topic in General Nursing

    Completely agree with the above. I agree the 8-wk program thing sounds super shady. I don't think you should focus on looking for any possible way to get into one of these areas that you feel...

    Getting harassed at work and not sure what to do about it?

    JKL33 replied to Jnurse153's topic in Men in Nursing

    There's a little more to it than that. First of all, it isn't exactly common for guys to seek to give rides to anyone and everyone. Next, this doesn't exactly sound like a situation where someone...

    New grad nurse—school board nurse opportunity

    JKL33 replied to Ann1e86's topic in General Nursing

    Main concern would be nothing that you have mentioned but rather the idea that you would be in over your head independently advising others about nursing care as a brand new nurse. Basic nursing...

    Preceptor is a bully....

    JKL33 replied to Hardhands's topic in General Nursing

    We also most definitely need to QUIT and CANCEL the idea that everything not perfect represents being "eaten." This is so dumb. What you aren't acknowledging is that there are people in the...

    Allergies? Nope! Covid

    JKL33 replied to Ioreth's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I understand the spirit of your post and agree the OP doesn't need to lose sleep over this, but just need to say that ^ this doesn't represent brilliant thinking on the part of that NP. Covid...

    How to deal with mean staff

    JKL33 replied to emmafrancis's topic in General Nursing

    This is difficult but IMO you have to work past the idea that your behavior is going to be dictated by whether someone else is approachable or not. For better or worse, I have a lot of experience in...

    Preceptor is a bully....

    JKL33 replied to Hardhands's topic in General Nursing

    But part of the reason they are a plague to this profession is because of the number of people who refuse to see their behavior in it's true light! People call them bullies and full-on allow...

    JKL33 replied to Swirl531's topic in General Nursing

    This is a good report! ?? You made it and you did it! You are going to do week 2 just fine, too. I think you should plan on updating this post again. During this week 2 you can feel...

    Betrayed by Management

    I support you. ?? Having a workplace that you love and wonderful coworkers is not something to throw away lightly or out of a sense of revenge or temporary hurt feelings. I am in favor of people...

    Hospitals competing for nurses as US coronavirus cases surge

    JKL33 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Well this is a case where there's certainly more to the story. The underlying situation has zero to do with covid. Experienced nurses in acute care, through the constant disparagement and other...

    Question about time management

    JKL33 replied to dinobiceps's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    There was another recent post where an inpatient charge nurse was talking about having to answer multiple phone calls (that was the gist of it if I recall). I think the general consensus there was...

    Ideal age of nursing students

    JKL33 replied to dadaui66's topic in General Students

    Chronological age doesn't matter (basic maturity does, though). Chronological age has to be one of, if not THE, least important thing(s) a prospective nursing student should be concerned about. I...
