   New Nurse, Thinking About Throwing in the Towel

   FolksBtrippin replied to NurseLindsey's topic in Nursing

   Getting your nursing license wasn’t a waste of your time. You just don’t like your current job. Narrow down what it is you really hate about your job and you’ll fix this. For me; it’s always unsupportive coworkers (including management) an...

   Write Ups

   FolksBtrippin replied to Kat Murphy's topic in Nursing

   It’s not really an urban legend. Most legal departments for big employers prohibit negative references, to avoid lawsuits. So while it’s not illegal, it’s also generally not allowed.

   Refusing to Cover for a Colleague

   FolksBtrippin replied to SilverBells's topic in Nursing

   I don’t think I would stop covering my coworkers care conferences. A good relationship with someone on the same level as you is so important in any job. And it sounds like this is the person on the same level as you. What if you need someone to ...

   How to spot a bad nurse

   FolksBtrippin replied to Emergent's topic in Nursing

   The article is written by a doctor. WOW!? Also it’s completely out of touch with the reality of the profession at present. Many nurses are job hoppers because it’s the only way to survive right now. And many, many nurses are overwhelmed. It’s no...

   Radonda Vaught Trial

   FolksBtrippin replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing

   I did say more in my original post. But I’ll add that there is no precedent for a med error being classified as reckless homicide.

   Radonda Vaught Trial

   FolksBtrippin replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing

   It doesn’t fit the definition at all. She was working. She wasn’t drag racing, making a tik tok, etc. She was trying to do her job. She was incompetent, not reckless. And it is of no consequence at all whether she is a quality person.

   Radonda Vaught Trial

   FolksBtrippin replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing

   It should be not guilty. and if it isn’t, it will add to my reasons of why I should leave nursing. Don’t talk to me about how she’s a bad nurse. I know she’s a bad nurse. It’s not a reason to charge her with homicide.

   Please give me the good and bad about prior authorization

   FolksBtrippin replied to starmickey03's topic in General Specialties

   Hmm. All I know is that prior authorization is a BS thing perpetuated by insurance companies to avoid paying for treatment and that it keeps patients from getting their meds on time or at all, especially vulnerable people like psych patients and...

    Med Error

    FolksBtrippin replied to Rada's topic in Nursing

    Good discussion. We should give empathy and education at the same time and both are equally important, because if education is delivered without empathy it doesn’t work. You can’t learn something from someone who hates you and thinks you don’t ...

    Patient Abandonment

    FolksBtrippin replied to jung park's topic in Nursing

    If you were instructed by the charge to leave, and you left, I don’t believe that is patient abandonment. I agree that bullying needs to be reported. Relax about the BON. It’s doubtful they will pursue this, but if they do, deal with it whe...

    Writing “poop” is unprofessional?

    FolksBtrippin replied to guest1143647's topic in Nursing

    I hope that one day, I too, will have come to the illustrious point in my career where I can write a nurse up for using the word poop in a note.

    Is my nursing instructor bullying me?

    FolksBtrippin replied to lexieanders's topic in General Students

    She sounds absolutely awful. I think your best shot is for the students to get together and make a complaint. So very sorry you are going through this. As for whether or not you will see this in the workplace, you may. Nursing is notoriou...
