    NOC, where's the professionalism??

    jadelpn replied to oohhgolly's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Wait until the patient surveys come back. On them will more than likely have quotations around the exact conversations that are happening outside of any given patient's room. Then it will be equally...

    What is bullying then?

    jadelpn replied to dudette10's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Bullying can be subjective. No 2 instances would be the same. If you look at the Joint Commission's idea of bullying, a company policy on bullying, and a nurse's thoughts on bullying, they would all...

    Why can't we tell pts/families we're understaffed?

    jadelpn replied to delphine22's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    It is all about illusion. You can not say you are "short-staffed" as according to managment, you are not. If you would only manage your time better, stick to the scripting, and just check the boxes....

    Infection with normal WBC

    jadelpn replied to Lisa Haney's topic in General Nursing

    Immune compromised? HIV? Viral as opposed to bacterial? A fungal infection may not be bacterial, and may not increase WBC? Hard to tell without whole picture, however, very interesting. Let us know...

    Is This Bullying?

    jadelpn replied to roser13's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No, because then the male nurse would think unpure thoughts as he is spooning jello into your mouth. And that could be harrassment. Cause I heard that all male nurses are sick and tired of female...

    Is This Bullying?

    Well make darn sure you are not trapped in a car or a closed space with someone eating jello. It could get you all gelled up unintentionally, and you could loose your

    Persistent Falsification of Data

    jadelpn replied to lpncharlie's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Not to mention, blood glucose of 300 or above would warrant a call to the MD for sliding scale insulin. That must have been done, or the resident wouldn't be going to the diabetic specialist....

    Are you charge when this is all happening? If so, I would be sure with your mananger what your next steps should be. If you are not charge, but your care of said patients are affected by this--ie:...

    POA/HIPAA violation

    jadelpn replied to Caelynn's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Good rule of thumb--don't ever access any medical record for yourself or a family member--because the only way you have access is that the facility allows you to have the ability to complete your job...

    reported a nurse stealing narcs and not giving meds, shes friends with the DON :(

    jadelpn replied to CynicallyVexed's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    YIKES!! Her yelling at the nurses station that she gives her meds when she clearly doesn't--one would think that they would be under added scrutiny and start giving their meds. So not the brightest...

    Nurse sleeping with coworker

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

    Hopefully in EMPTY patient rooms...... They are not having sex, but are "fooling around"?!?!? Is there a difference if they get caught? Someone will see them and report them eventually. There was an...

    jadelpn replied to gonzo1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Someone "trying to be cool" means they have a long, long way to go to become a professional working person. However, in using the point of the bullying definition, this could be considered...

    Do you chart lies?

    jadelpn replied to RNdynamic's topic in General Nursing

    You absolutely know that a patient has been lying in a soiled bed for hours. If you need to scrape poop off a patient, and the skin underneath is all broken down, you KNOW this. If a bed is drenched...

    Do you chart lies?

    jadelpn replied to RNdynamic's topic in General Nursing

    I did not read all of the responses however, my first thought is this--IF a patient were to lose function due to a too tight restraint, If there is skin breakdown due to restraints, incontinence, or...

    I have taken the NCLEX twice and failed, NEED HELP!

    jadelpn replied to snsb27's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Sometimes it is how you take the test. Do NOT change your answers, do NOT read all into the question past what it is that they are asking you. Don't spend a whole lot of time saying to yourself...

    failed nclex-pn June 2014

    jadelpn replied to thirty-two's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Do they still give scrap paper? If so, the first thing to do is to write down your basic calculations. Then you do not forget them when you get a question. Second, take your NCLEX books and take the...

    jadelpn replied to Gingerbell's topic in General Nursing

    No harm in showing up in person. Or to call the clerk of the unit, and ask if the person is on the unit. Sometimes they can give you the "he's on vacation" or "in a meeting" and when would be best...

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

    Yep. Only then it is called "floating" and a nurse doesn't take an assignment, they just go to be an "extra set of hands". And their assignment is to get vitals, answer call lights, set patients up...
