    Ethics: Brain bleed sign out AMA

    Jory replied to Kbig2's topic in General Nursing

    How were you going to "force" the transfer if he was fully oriented? Manhandle him so he can file an abuse charge on you later? I think your unit needs an inservice on the patient's right to...

    Needlestick hep c + patient and post exposure testing

    Jory replied to KRN589's topic in General Nursing

    I second this. I am all about caution but other than waiting to test, I wouldn't sweat this at

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

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

    Jory replied to purplenurse1's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I would report it because it is cruel. It is not necessary to order every pain med and antiemetic on a schedule. Pain is difficult to catch up on..nausea is the same way. If I consistently found my...

    Unpaid Mandatory Meetings?

    Jory replied to BiohazardBetty's topic in General Nursing

    This is not exactly true. If you clock in at 6:31, you get paid the full 15 minutes. If you clock in at 6:36, you get paid the 15 minutes. If you clock in at 6:37, you DO NOT get paid until 6:45....

    No, they cannot. Unless you are on salary, any meetings, training, education, you are required to be

    This stuff only happens to me!! Subpoea to testify for state in a criminal case on 1st day

    Jory replied to Oedgar's topic in General Nursing

    They would most likely move the case to a time because this is a new job start for you and that would absolutely qualify as a hardship. I would hold off on telling HR until you talk to the DA first....

    How do you get out of the room politely?

    Jory replied to jessimee's topic in General Nursing

    I see where you are an NP. "I'll try to get back at you later today. I have a family meeting that I am running late for" Works every time. If I need to get a family member out of the room to talk...

    Administering Tylenol to a friend

    Jory replied to Em31200's topic in General Nursing

    I call BS on the 911 too. If someone is able to make their own decisions, you can't force treatment on them any more than you can force it in the ER. It is not up to the nurse to call 911 if the...

    Administering Tylenol to a friend

    Jory replied to Em31200's topic in General Nursing

    I am sick and tired of instructors scaring new nurses like this. I brought $100 to class one day and challenged all of the students to go through our disciplinary actions...they could go back as far...

    oxygen in dying hospice patients

    Jory replied to bmel's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not saying this to be mean...but do you really think that oxygen is the same as taking away a drug or an IV? Oxygen is a comfort

    Might be a violation, maybe.

    Jory replied to AcuteHD's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Sorry, I disagree. 20 is how far you stand to read the eye chart. That's not a long distance by any means. Yes, it's incidental. My living room is

    Pearson took my money. Is there still a chance I passed?

    Jory replied to risperidone's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You should have researched the PVT before you used it. NOBODY ever put their credit card information in. It was never necessary to do the trick anyway. They didn't even take your money, you entered...

    Being Sued / Losing License

    Jory replied to Meraki's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Depends on what state you are working in. DUI's in my state are traffic violations. They are not criminal convictions. They can become criminal convictions if you are a repeat

    Being Sued / Losing License

    Jory replied to Meraki's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I told a group of my students that I would give them $100 if they could produce one case of a nurse from the Board of Nursing website disciplinary actions in our state that lost her license over a...

    Might be a violation, maybe.

    Jory replied to AcuteHD's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    It is incidental because you can't protect patients from hearing everything. If this was the case, 100% of the doors would be shut in hospitals at all times and all conversations cut down to mere...

    Give inhaler w/o doctor's consent?

    Jory replied to clockwood's topic in School

    I would rather lose my job than make it complicated for a child to breathe. Why don't you go to the classroom, hold your breath, and see how easy it is to get to the office. Schools have went too far...

    why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

    Jory replied to murseforever's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    They do it because they want to take credit for accomplishments they have not earned. Plain and

    What criteria can be used to select an employee of the month on a med-surg unit?

    Any current nursing student with a petty theft?

    Jory replied to Mattie45's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Most judges truly hate to see someone's life get permanently affected by a single charge. If your attorney can get the diversion, I suggest you take it. There are no guarantees. I would pay very...

    Universal Precautions

    Jory replied to Samt9's topic in General Nursing

    I gave a lot of injections at a clinic I recently left. I only used one glove. Gloves won't protect you against a needle stick and washing your hands should be enough. I always had a couple of pieces...

    Can a doctor "order" a nurse to not assess something?

    Jory replied to SilleLu's topic in General Nursing

    Don't confuse policy with a written physician's order. They are not the same and you seem to think they are. I stand by my answer. When you post later that you are suspended because you unilaterally...

    Frontier Midwifery Program

    We were talking about the attrition rate and now the truth reveals itself: you are disgruntled. I have several friends that have recently graduated who all loved the
