    Losing my religion

    jadelpn replied to jadelpn's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    But it has no place in an employment who's patients are made up of many, many religious. Or none at all. Not everyone in the world is a Christian, nor does everyone believe in Jesus. And to suggest...

    Losing my religion

    jadelpn replied to jadelpn's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    First off , no trolling here. Secondly, my own personal religious beliefs or lack thereof are of not a bit of a diffference in providing competent, ethical care. Came to me from another debate pages...

    The point of my post is that I may reflect to other nurses, however, be mindful what you reflect to

    Jehovah's Witness nurses in the critical care unit?

    jadelpn replied to asdf88's topic in Critical Care

    Ah, but the question becomes that in the middle of all of this--where one patient is just as critical as another, is it within a patient safety realm to have a nurse say "I will not do xyz" when it...

    What can I do to combat bullying?

    jadelpn replied to Destiny'skid's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    First off, it is NEVER ok for anyone to put their hands on you--attempting to "direct" you or not. And I would be the first to say "do NOT put your hands on me". Don't yell, just a firm tone. If it...

    Couldn't believe he did this...

    jadelpn replied to Elizabeth Renee's topic in General Nursing

    In actuality, I am appalled that there's obviously higher level of care that is needed than a group home/assisted living can or should provide. (See bedbound/wound part of OP's original thread). I...

    jadelpn replied to Elizabeth Renee's topic in General Nursing

    Ambulation and glasses of water will do exactly nothing to make a blood sugar that is too high go any lower. With all due respect, THIS is exactly why someone who is not a licensed nurse, who has...

    Jehovah's Witness nurses in the critical care unit?

    jadelpn replied to asdf88's topic in Critical Care

    "If their conscience allows" is another misleading statement. Akin to a Jewish CNA declining to feeding non-kosher food to a non- Jewish patient. Well within their scope, but some sort of...

    ArtClassRN is right-- I am so tired of the "But it is God's WILL".....directly quoted from some verse or two in the middle of some other verse....subject to perception....."The Bible says so" is...

    A few questions about bedside manner.

    jadelpn replied to 0.adamantite's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I do not disagree, could be that the OP is just shy and or introverted. A number of young adults were just shy of the "autism explosion" --so many went undiagnosed for a number of years--formative...

    You won't believe.....

    jadelpn replied to NanikRN's topic in General Nursing

    With all due respect, OP, you were in the break room--not at the desk. So really would have little way of knowing you were engaged in work. Not that you necessarily needed to get up and throw...

    Is it just me?

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

    Interestingly, across the board, nearly all of the survey information regarding ways to "up scores" starts with having a "dynamic and engaged leader". Nearly. Every. One. Some things DO start at the...

    The OP described themselves as being on the spectrum. i think that one can have a reserved personality. On the other end is someone who is reserved because they are attempting to figure out how to...

    Jehovah's Witness nurses in the critical care unit?

    jadelpn replied to asdf88's topic in Critical Care

    I have little understanding if one has to have someone "hang" the blood (that you just helped verify) and then someone else has to "push the start button" but you can monitor same---don't see too much...

    A few questions about bedside manner.

    jadelpn replied to 0.adamantite's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    OP, one of the most difficult aspects of being on the spectrum is that it is often difficult to "sense" what a patient is feeling/wanting by attempting to interpret tone. Sounds to me like you have...

    New Nurse Growing Pains?

    jadelpn replied to wingding's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It is really difficult for a newer nurse to just get the hang of the job, then put in charge. Do you have a nursing admin on call? Do you have any admin on call? I would approach your NM, and state...
