    Mandatory Flu Vaccines- How do you feel?

    Jory replied to Snowbird17's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Hospitals will always pay if: 1) The family is asking for a nominal amount of money...according to our corporate attorney, the most common request from filed lawsuits is for the family to simply, not...

    Mandatory Flu Vaccines- How do you feel?

    Jory replied to Snowbird17's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Alleged JD. I take everything with a grain of salt on the internet. I also asked her to post a case (of a lawsuit won because a family claimed the nurse gave the patient the flu that wasn't...

    Mandatory Flu Vaccines- How do you feel?

    Jory replied to Snowbird17's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Honey, let me give you some education very quickly. I could hire an attorney right now, to get a court order, track down your Allnurses.com screen name right back to your ISP which is like getting an...

    Mandatory Flu Vaccines- How do you feel?

    Jory replied to Snowbird17's topic in Disaster Preparation

    If it were that important, then the gov't would mandate it...but they don't. I could care less whether a facility makes money or not and they only have the "right" because the nurses won't band...

    Mandatory Flu Vaccines- How do you feel?

    Jory replied to Snowbird17's topic in Disaster Preparation

    There is a difference between people believing you get the flu from the vaccine (false) to getting sick shortly after they get the vaccine (true). While many people do not, there are some of us that...

    Mandatory Flu Vaccines- How do you feel?

    Jory replied to Snowbird17's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Find me a single lawsuit that was WON where the patient actually collected to where they were able to trace back an infection of a common, everyone-has-it illness to a single NURSE. You'll be hard...

    Over 60, seasoned nurse, fired for not being a "Robot RN."

    Jory replied to Wise Woman RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'll give you validation. 10 years worth of good reviews, new manager and you get fired? Uh, I would be filing a lawsuit for age discrimination if I were

    VIP treatment. Ethical dilemma for paper?

    Jory replied to metfan's topic in General Nursing

    I don't agree with VIP systems at hospitals, with one exception: If the President of the USA is injured or sick. Everyone else, regardless of what job they hold or how much money they have, can wait....

    Mandatory Flu Vaccines- How do you feel?

    Jory replied to Snowbird17's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Are you under the misguided impression that if you get the flu vaccine, you won't get the flu? Uh, doesn't work like that. This is the flaw with the flu shot. Officials make a prediction, about two...

    Mandatory Flu Vaccines- How do you feel?

    Jory replied to Snowbird17's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Someone posted awhile back that their facility tried the mandatory mask option...and when so many patients and families were asking why so many workers were walking around with masks, they dropped it....

    Mandatory Flu Vaccines- How do you feel?

    Jory replied to Snowbird17's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Nope, because if they have any visiting family members, they'll have to prove that they got it from the nurse and not someone else. You don't have to get the vaccine where I work but you cannot work...

    Mandatory Flu Vaccines- How do you feel?

    Jory replied to Snowbird17's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I actually do have lots of employment opportunities because of my training. My facility does not require any vaccines. If you don't want the Hep B, you just sign a waiver for it...but if you do this...

    I need some help and I am worried!

    Jory replied to Kbeck9's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    This is not accurate. The OP did not say whether or not she got convicted. She only said she "got in trouble". State and federal fingerprint bases will load your fingerprint on ANY arrest and is...

    What is the least you'd be willing to get paid as a new grad BSN?

    Jory replied to ixchel's topic in First Year After Licensure

    New grad nurses in this economy don't have the luxury of making those decisions. You have hospital rates and you have doctor office rates--pick your poison. There is a nursing shortage for experienced...

    Mandatory Flu Vaccines- How do you feel?

    Jory replied to Snowbird17's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I would not work for an employer that "required" me to take a flu vaccine and personally, I think mandatory medications should be illegal for adults for employment. However, the vaccine had nothing to...

    Do you take vitals on babies who are sleeping?

    Jory replied to chariot's topic in Pediatric

    This...depends on which department you work in. I used to work in a facility where every baby was on a monitor, unless it was well-baby nursery. When the babies were on a monitor, we DID NOT wake...

    How can I keep tracked of my patients without violating HIPAA?

    Jory replied to audc's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Nursing schools have so many students unnecessarily freaked out about HIPAA and to be honest...many nursing instructors don't even know how HIPAA works or what constitutes a violation. For example,...

    Clinical Failure

    Jory replied to student1919's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I personally, wouldn't sweat this, because even if you finished, once you showed up to work late a few times, they would fire you anyway. So I wouldn't worry so much about becoming a nurse when you...

    Patient fx hip after family refused alarm

    Jory replied to Emilyinsc's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Just because they terminated you doesn't mean it was a just termination. So what if you checked on him, that doesn't stop him from falling two seconds after you walk out of the

    Patient fx hip after family refused alarm

    Jory replied to Emilyinsc's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Uh, that isn't a "I work in a hospital and think that is an unreasonable" thing. In my state, it's treated very similar to a restraint. Just because someone is in a LTC facility doesn't mean they lose...

    What and How Much Can You Tell to Patient's Family?

    Jory replied to CuteNurseUnl's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I live in the South and as they say, we do things very, very different down here. First of all, everyone that is admitted to the hospital is not coherent. I have seen many, many nurses and doctors...

    Patient fx hip after family refused alarm

    Jory replied to Emilyinsc's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Some states, such as mine, a bed alarm is treated very similar to a restraint. You have to have a doctor's order unless it's emergent and then orders have to be re-signed with necessity documented....

    Patient fx hip after family refused alarm

    Jory replied to Emilyinsc's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Don't think for a second that a family or patient will automatically pick the most reasonable choice after the risks and benefits are explained. Scenerio clearly states that the family was offered the...

    Passed my NCLEX with a Bad Pop-up. Praise the Lord!

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

    Your NCLEX results are NEVER "delivered" before you take the exam. Ever. The results are delivered only after you take the exam. I forget the exact wording when you try to go back through..it might...

    MD screaming at RN's in front of patients regularly

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

    This happens because the facilities allow it to
