    Am I in violation of code of ethics?

    jadelpn replied to Nursey916's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Because you are taking your position of power and control over a patient and manipulating that to suit your own psych/social needs. You are doing a disservice to them by not meeting their long term...

    RN forging doc's signature

    jadelpn replied to Student Mom to Three's topic in General Nursing

    I can't really add to any good advice you have received by PP. However, I would suggest to you that going forward, instead of watching this happen, I would interrupt and say "Hold UP, don't sign...

    Am I in violation of code of ethics?

    jadelpn replied to Nursey916's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    And that defeats the purpose of what you all are doing. Social services has many, many outlets to help the people under your care. To start personally doing multiple favors is just not a...

    Am I in violation of code of ethics?

    jadelpn replied to Nursey916's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    No, the BON would NOT understand that. As a person, you may be kind and have an open heart and mind and feel so much sympathy for the people you have grown close to. However, as a nurse, you are...

    Need advice on my Nuring Ethics Project

    jadelpn replied to ChellyFutureNP's topic in Advanced Practice

    I am not sure of an alternate approach, as a nurse is ethically bound to report abuse. Regardless of the status of a patient (ie: a prisoner). This is a case of personal judgments not clouding...

    3rd semester advice!!!!!

    jadelpn replied to Stephtom361's topic in General Students

    Med Surg is a ton of information. And it helps if you think about a whole patient, and functioning. Beyond that, read your chapters, highlight. Take notes in class. Look at the chapter...

    Please help me! Nursing questions.

    jadelpn replied to futurenurseiam1's topic in General Students

    The bed bath thing is on the nurse in question. You can not control anyone's practice but your own. Now if someone is abusing a patient, a complete different story, however, make sure your practice...

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

    Ok, so first off, these are online courses. Why is it that you have to meet with her at all? I have a hard time following that. Additionally, YOU PAY for an education. They do not pay you to...

    The time I (almost) got fired.

    jadelpn replied to BambiBelle07's topic in General Nursing

    It stinks being new, and having to input other people's stuff--and not great practice, but admittedly, I have little experience in an MD office setting. In a perfect world, every provider/nurse/MA who...

    The time I (almost) got fired.

    jadelpn replied to BambiBelle07's topic in General Nursing

    Do you also give immunizations? If so, you should take the paperwork and the vial together to document, make sure you double check the date (and immunization dates are important, as sometimes they...

    If you are a pre-nursing student,OP, then you are taking your general education courses for a degree. So you have a couple of years to think about your goals and objectives, and where you see...

    Emotionally intense day at clinicals

    jadelpn replied to future_nurse11's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Remember, work is work and home is home. Patients have amazingly complex dynamics. Some are at baseline fragile, and add an illness to it, and it is magnified 500%. Others spent their entire lives...

    WHAT DO WE NEED

    jadelpn replied to nursepenelope's topic in General Nursing

    First off, you need a professional to be able to go over your cover letter and your resume. This way, what you present will be in your best marketing interest. Second, get your lactation consultant...

    Keep my License Active or Let it Expire?

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

    I would at least call the BON and find out if you let your license go inactive, what is entailed in activating it again. If it is a refresher, or some other part of LPN schooling again, I am not sure...

    jadelpn replied to LisaF0115's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Not sure what happened with your meeting today, however--you absolutely pay for school. So you have a right to clinically learn. I am wondering if instead of using a "passive-aggressive" remark,...

    Who takes the med error hit?

    jadelpn replied to BuckyBadgerRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I am not sure why there would be disciplinary action, however, a med list from the hospital may be different than what the hospitalist/primary care would like to see the patient continue to take. The...

    Help with a Nursing DX please

    jadelpn replied to imanursenow's topic in General Students

    Nursing diagnosis is it's whole own language, no? So think about it this way. When someone says it hurts, there's pain to deal with. When someone can't swallow, there's fluid/food issues. When...

    Unwanted transition

    jadelpn replied to TSL7286's topic in General Nursing

    You never know, maybe pain management will be just fine. As an agency nurse, unfortunately, you have to move around. And it does stink that once you found your niche, it has to change. Network with...
