    Jory replied to Vraktar's topic in General Nursing

    They have beyond low-balled her and I wouldn't get out of bed for $50K on that

    A cautionary tale: advice/help needed

    Jory replied to Renegade girl's topic in General Nursing

    I am one of those politically unpopular nurses that didn't particularly like bedside nursing. You have to start somewhere. I started working in the NICU because I loved babies. People used to ask me...

    Are We Still Holding Back Baby's Head?

    Jory replied to Kooky Korky's topic in Ob/Gyn

    ....and this is why there are lawsuits and they SHOULD be paid out. All...day...long. Famous case: Rosemary Kennedy. The nurse held her until the physician got there and it is widely believed it...

    Patient is a sex offender with a tracker on his ankle

    Jory replied to Alex_RN's topic in General Nursing

    No. You don't know that is why he has the ankle bracelet. If he has the ankle bracelet, the police knows where he

    Research patient or see patient first?

    Jory replied to RNingBSNing's topic in General Nursing

    When I still worked the floor after report, I went through each of my patients and read through the nursing notes, labs, last few orders on every patient and made any notes I needed to make before I...

    "may we contact your previous employer" what is the correct answer?

    Jory replied to EternalFeather's topic in Nursing Career

    I agree with this. I had an employer years ago that did this. I live in a state that also allows you to record a conversation. I had a friend call, recorded the former supervisor (who was beyond...

    Hospital Utilization Review Question

    Jory posted a topic in Case Management

    I have a question for the group. I currently do initial reviews (someone else does the updates) in an acute care setting. I am very curious to learn from others how they have this set up at their...

    I did a Google search, and my RN information and a bunch of other things are there?

    Jory replied to rumwynnieRN's topic in General Nursing

    My state does this and I really don't care. I'll tell you why. Do bad things happen to nurses? Absolutely. More than other professions? Absolutely not. Unless you work in psych or correctional...

    Not entering vital signs in pt chart per MD orders...

    Jory replied to Sadie2016's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree. When it comes to something that controversial, No...I am NOT going to take a verbal order that he can always deny giving you later, but he's going to write it himself. I also would never...

    Not entering vital signs in pt chart per MD orders...

    Jory replied to Sadie2016's topic in General Nursing

    You don't need to address it with the MD at all, you need to address this with your manager. No physician can dictate HOW you chart, the hospital can to a degree (what is appropriate and professional...

    Gel Nails

    Jory replied to er.mere's topic in General Nursing

    This is how I look at it...I never do anything around a patient anyway without gloves, so I think it's ridiculous. Unless they are going to come after you with a bottle of nail polish remover, they...

    Nursing students who want to be NP's

    Jory replied to Teaching the future's topic in General Nursing

    My reasoning for moving my career forward had nothing to do with not liking bedside nursing. I would have been very content with bedside. I got sick and tired of having to use my PTO to pad my...

    I start my MSN program next month....getting scared.

    Jory posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I can't even believe I'm posting this. Me: Miss Plans-Everything, Miss No-Surprises. I am so scared to start my MSN program that I am fighting the urge every day to call and just tell them I'm not...

    Two weeks notice

    Jory replied to superarn86's topic in General Nursing

    Don't do it. If you call in on your last day, they can render that unexcused and put you on a do-not-rehire list. I have seen it done more than

    Tatts and HIPAA

    Jory replied to ShockMe's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    First of all, you can chart anything a patient tells you as long as you quote it. That's a no-brainer. Second, the next time you have a private conversation with your husband about something general,...

    Lawsuits

    Jory replied to nursingstudent01600's topic in General Nursing

    Do not worry about this until you are served with papers. It's not like you are required to go to court the next day. It's the patient's job to prove their claim and lawyers will not take your case...

    Never chart this

    Jory replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I'll be honest the charting in our facility is so bad that if we were ever sued for not getting a patient fresh ice, we are covered, because it's the only thing that is ever documented. It is...

    Dismissal?

    Jory replied to kathysp's topic in General Students

    I am not saying this is the case with you, but you do need to examine why you are failing. If you are honest with yourself...are you putting the necessary time in? What I see happen with students, is...

    Regulations in my state. Let's say you had a chest pain patient with elevated troponins that said he didn't want anything done (said) and started out the door. Then that patient collapses on the...

    Being Sued / Losing License

    Did you really think I gave an assignment and not tell them where to find the information? I not only showed them I emailed the link and pulled up the computer and told them exactly how to access it....

    WHAT TO DO...Nurse is refusing to give PRN medication

    Jory replied to purplenurse1's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I think the OP is referring to nurses refuse no to give PRNs out of arrogance...not medical judgement. Even still, if you think a PRN med would have an adverse effect on a patient..you call the MD for...

    Ethics: Brain bleed sign out AMA

    Jory replied to Kbig2's topic in General Nursing

    My response was to the OP's description of events and there was no mention of the patient's mental capacity being called into question. I deal with many patients who are from facilities every day...

    Jory replied to Kbig2's topic in General Nursing

    Depends on what state you live in how the terms are defined. Under common law, you are correct, in my state, the term "battery" is rarely used. Aggravated Assault Laws and Penalties | Criminal

    Ethics: Brain bleed sign out AMA

    Jory replied to Kbig2's topic in General Nursing

    If they are oriented they get the right to refuse ANY and all care that is suggested. You have no right to override that. Most states have regulations that if the patient passes out, that is "implied...
