    Infection Control issue? - Pre-set up of yaunker and tubing to wall suction "just in case"

    Jory replied to TheMursingMurse's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked in the NICU, we had these open on so many patients and they were labeled and if unused, thrown away every three days. If they were used, thrown away every shift change. We had tons...

    Fishy, illegitimate contract..?

    Jory replied to tinybbynurse's topic in General Nursing

    You can't bind a company if you don't have the authority to bind...that is where you are very wrong. The next time you buy a house, save yourself the real estate commission and get out a piece of...

    Fishy, illegitimate contract..?

    Jory replied to tinybbynurse's topic in General Nursing

    LOL...ever take any basic law classes when you were in college as an elective? You'll be shocked at what you learn. The next time you buy a house, try to write your own contract and if there is a...

    Fishy, illegitimate contract..?

    Jory replied to tinybbynurse's topic in General Nursing

    Those are promissory notes. They are different. Otherwise, how do you think the functions of the legal profession is protected? One of the first questions a judge in court will ask, "Who drew this...

    Fishy, illegitimate contract..?

    Jory replied to tinybbynurse's topic in General Nursing

    It's practicing law without a license. Some types of contracts, such as promissory notes, are permitted, but once you get into things like employment contracts? Nope...and just an FYI, just because...

    Fishy, illegitimate contract..?

    Jory replied to tinybbynurse's topic in General Nursing

    Employment contracts not written up nor reviewed by an attorney are generally not enforceable. It's called practicing law without a license. Unless the administrator owns the home health agency, he...

    Patient fell and doesnt want family notified

    Jory replied to Mrs.in2015's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I probably would have told them, "The skin of seniors is fragile and can sometimes tear from various movements. Blood thinners can make injuries that wouldn't show up on you or me, more visible"....

    New Grad RN..made a mistake!!!

    Jory replied to DH1234's topic in First Year After Licensure

    IV tubing is like plumbing...there is more than one way to get the parts together. Sometimes what you normally use isn't readily available and you have to improvise. Everyone does it differently....

    Nurse Fired by HCA After 20yrs - Wrongful Termination Lawsuit Filed

    Jory replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Of course there wasn't anything in your personal file. How did you expect them to make up a story later that you just quit or just never showed up for work? Sometimes they protect themselves better...

    Have you ever?

    Jory replied to JustRNingAlong's topic in School

    I am a firm believer in vaccinations...however, I pushed back on the school once. When my oldest child wasn't old enough to have her 4-6 year old shots, she was started pre-K and they wanted her to...

    Pt confidentiality

    Jory replied to Irving's topic in General Nursing

    Well, sorry if this sounds mean, but I doubt you are a nurse at all. If you had attended nursing school and had finished orientation at any healthcare facility, you would know the answers to these...

    Abandonment - Legal Question

    Jory replied to Kooky Korky's topic in General Nursing

    The true purpose of "report" in nursing is to see if you are willing to take the assignment. No report for the type of patient care you are describing = no obligation to take care of the patient. It...

    How to Explain Why I Quit my Last Job

    Jory replied to jnnrn's topic in General Nursing

    FYI: L&D Nurses as a general rule, have probably the worst reputation in terms of bullying new nurses of any department. For this reason alone, I don't think it is a good place for new grads....

    I have trouble pulling up clear liquid into a syringe

    Jory replied to Futurenurse7321's topic in General Nursing

    Well, first, 10 ml syringe is the wrong size, should have been a 3 ml. You need to inject about 1 ml of air into the vial before tilting it up to withdraw the solution. This creates pressure that...

    Childcare question

    Jory replied to Morelaur288's topic in General Nursing

    I'll be honest, varied shifts is almost impossible to do with young children if you rely on outside daycare. You need consistency. My husband was away quite a bit when my children were small, we had...

    Useless Shift Report Information

    Jory replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked in the NICU we had one nurse that freaked out because you didn't give her the APGAR scores that were written on the SBAR on babies that had been in the unit 3 or 4 months and were...

    I quit during orientation.

    Jory replied to Bettyloublu14's topic in General Nursing

    I had a horrible experience with my preceptor as a brand new grad during orientation. Next time before you quit, talk to management. Just because someone is an experienced nurse doesn't mean they...

    Medical Assistants and Insulin/Diabetes Teaching

    Jory replied to LP_Collins's topic in General Nursing

    I have a real problem with this. States really need to start cracking down on what medical assistants are permitted to do. It takes two nurses in most nurses facilities to sign off on insulin...

    HIPAA and court orders and custody oh my!

    Jory replied to T-Bird78's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    The mother is being manipulative. Let her file a complaint, it will go nowhere. How did the father even get the child to bring him to the appointment? That is the question your manager needs to ask...

    Birth Control and 12 Hour Shifts

    Jory replied to sillymu's topic in General Nursing

    I think it is a great option, unfortunately, efficacy decreases for those over 175 lbs. I prescribe it quite a bit to teens that know they can't remember a pill and don't want to stick anything in...

    License Revoked for Ethical Reason

    Jory replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    You have to keep in mind..there are lines that just can't be crossed. They made a movie of a famous case where a physician (true story) took care of a wealthy cancer patient. The man was virtually...

    Birth Control and 12 Hour Shifts

    Jory replied to sillymu's topic in General Nursing

    I would try the Nuvaring. It's a combination contraceptive and you'll get the bleeding predictability you are enjoying now. It's perfect for suppression. My patients are a huge

    Using medical terminology as a nurse

    Jory replied to RCHCLVN's topic in General Nursing

    Gross hematuria (blood you can see in urine) is the correct term. That isn't a diagnosis anymore than bleeding from anywhere else. Otherwise chart what was found on the strip, "positive for blood",...

    Student Not Eligible for NCLEX

    Jory replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    You wouldn't think it was accurate if you had a 4.0 GPA, failed the HESI (let's say it was an evaluation tool at your school and a pass wasn't required) and you still passed with 75 questions. Like...
