    Nosey nurse

    jadelpn replied to Caleb_RN225's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    We can't even look up our own--say--test results. It is against the policy of our company. Even POA's have to go through the correct channels to obtain information. Could be a conflict of interest....

    PRN hours decreased because of the ACA

    jadelpn replied to kdhunley's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    OK, now my head is spinning! Is it not feasible to prove that you have health insurance from another source, and be able to work more than 30 hours a week? And for the small business owner, would it...

    Workplace Bullying-Nursing or 7th Grade?

    jadelpn replied to rbs105's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I certainly hope, OP, that on your exit interview, or when you put in your resignation, that you were very clear as to why. I find it so distressing when the worst attitudes of people are continued to...

    Bullied by a new grad, wth???

    jadelpn replied to jayebug's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Some people are just not personable. If you feel you are being bullied, report it. But as the pp stated, DO NOT trash the other nurse when you are being spoken to by management. Unfortunetely,...

    Patients that fire everyone/demand everything

    jadelpn replied to anon456's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    A case manager needs to get involved with this family immediately. With firm limits, the first of which would be that when a parent demands that the child be medicated when they are not supposed to...

    Fired for med error

    jadelpn replied to KJAKE's topic in Patient Medications

    We all make errors. The only thing you can do is go on from here. The culture of the unit was challenging, and there were processes in place that were punitive in nature, when historically in your...

    should one try to introduce themselves to the Nursing manager?

    jadelpn replied to esther8's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    It could not hurt to call and ask to have an appointment. To discuss the fact that you have read the mission statement of the facility, that you are interesting in becoming part of the team, and...

    jadelpn replied to elijahvegas's topic in General Nursing

    And that may be true, however, a number of services do not have a transport RN. And at least in my state, it is the Medical Director that calls the shots. I was as surprised as the next person that...

    jadelpn replied to elijahvegas's topic in General Nursing

    This is interesting--nursing (even as an LPN) is a great deal more than one extreme to the other--it is not all titrating/OR making a bed. I just took an interesting refresher (as I am also an EMT...

    jadelpn replied to elijahvegas's topic in General Nursing

    I enjoy being professional. To be a person of character. To be weeping and carrying on at bedside perhaps is not the best choice--I have a tremendous amount of coping skills--however, ya gotta keep...

    LPNs make RNs seem more impressive?

    jadelpn replied to RN-HSA's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    There are some facilities that will not and do not hire ADN's, diploma nurses or LPN's. However, there are facilities that will hire an ADN or a diploma nurse, but not an LPN. So by eliminating an...

    Certifications

    jadelpn replied to madea82's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I would check with your state BON. There are certainly some states that allow ACLS, PALS and the like--however, be sure that your scope of practice in the FACILITY that you are hired at allows you to...

    bedside, care, communication

    jadelpn replied to jantone's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I am not sure what you mean. If it is communication that you are referencing, then yes, there is a whole lot of scripting with key points going

    Why is there so much drama in a field where we help people?

    jadelpn replied to RInursingstudent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Mean is a subjective term. Nurses who are direct, are not anything but work oriented, like to spend their downtime alone and the like could and often are described as "mean". Work is not personal,...

    Hypothetical Situation

    jadelpn replied to Bortaz's topic in General Nursing

    Or this could be one huge rumor at the expense of the nurse in question's reputation. First off, I am not sure how many NICU nurses are clamoring away at wanting a home health or private duty gig on...

    Two Days

    jadelpn replied to Cardiolyte's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, and just to throw in there....if a facility policy states you have to stay home if you have one of any number of illness, then that is quite the catch 22, no? Or if you are sent home due to the...

    RN - $14.75/hr?!?

    jadelpn replied to AlphaPig's topic in General Nursing

    WOW. Then what they are seeking should not be called a nurse. And taking direction/assisting a paramedic--now, paramedics are awesome, however, a licensed nurse is taking a HUGE liability when the...
