  1. Human trafficking

    JuliaRNMSN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I would like to raise awareness of human trafficking by gathering information based on member learning needs. If the forum members want information I could post resource links and share my knowledge...

  2. Human trafficking

    JuliaRNMSN replied to JuliaRNMSN's topic in General Nursing

    Health problems such as HIV, AIDS, TB as a few examples are associated with trafficking....can go undetected due to the clandestine nature of trafficking (Sabella, 2011). "A majority of known...

    JuliaRNMSN replied to macanes's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I really liked my research classes. Struggled but liked the structure of of the many components. Method, design, all the pieces includ. statistics. I still do problems to keep adding to what I...

  4. Left horrific SNF job; struggling to find another job. HELP!

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

    I liked this article in response to an RN who left a setting unsuitable for her. Advising RN's that leaving a position holds less stigma now than in the past, and re-framing the experience for future...

  5. I don't know why I'm even surprised by this...

    JuliaRNMSN replied to thesegotoeleven's topic in General Nursing

    What a mess!! I'd be saying to myself that this will not be the last time management handles an unsafe situation in this manner. The event is a clue to your work life there. I have experienced...

  6. Has anyone else "sensed" when something was wrong with a patient?

    JuliaRNMSN replied to Norepinephrine's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Jean Watson University of Colorado Boulder is the nurse theorist I said I'd get back on. Hope you can gather some info from her work! She is

  7. Has anyone else "sensed" when something was wrong with a patient?

    JuliaRNMSN replied to Norepinephrine's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    A nurse theorist a U of Colorado Denver speaks to this. When her name comes to me I'll post it. In nursing I've used it but not when charting. I use to guide my problem solving and support it with...

  8. Am I too old to be an RN.... or should I just stay an LPN?

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

    A belated thank-you for pointing me to the article I couldn't

  9. "I have an ethical problem"

    JuliaRNMSN replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

    How out of the box your thinking is. I mean that as a compliment. I'd probably run the idea by Social Services if there were no other community resources to take homeless folks in. I'd have to feel...

  10. Independent nurse with questions

    JuliaRNMSN replied to NatashaW.BSNRN's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    I don't have an answer but I have asked myself that same question. My S.O. is in marketing and I try to pick his brain because in my experience sales and marketing were the furthest subjects from my...

    JuliaRNMSN replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

    Thank-you This is a great post and well written. I agree that we are here to educate each other by sharing our knowledge and prof/ personal experiences. Its a great thing to take away posts,...

    Thanks for your post. I'll be reading the articles you suggested. Thanks again for the heartfelt spirit you put forward in you

  13. Am I too old to be an RN.... or should I just stay an LPN?

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

    Age is a number...some people are young even if they are considered "old." I really like the article that I can't find on this site anymore that spoke to: There are many nursing jobs available so...

  14. A Valuable Lesson

    JuliaRNMSN replied to jojo489's topic in Developmental Disabilities

    I am not working with this population currently. After seeing how staff and management coped with this situation, I decided to take work outside of healthcare. I like you and others working in this...

  15. What would you do if....

    JuliaRNMSN posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You worked for a large facility with 4 group homes of intellectually disabled adults dispersed throughout a large city, entered one to assess clients and other nursing tasks....found an unidentifiable...

  16. What would you do if....

    JuliaRNMSN replied to JuliaRNMSN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Written up or constructive debriefing....I think there is a big difference. Taking an ambiguous scenario and trying to resolve it by blame gives no one a chance to learn. Its like saying found a...

  17. What would you do if....

    JuliaRNMSN replied to JuliaRNMSN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    There were many possibilities that being one. No one came

  18. A Valuable Lesson

    JuliaRNMSN replied to jojo489's topic in Developmental Disabilities

    I appreciate your thoughtful response. The entire situation was hard to figure out and it made me very sad. I remember breaking down and crying to my boyfriend after work (w/o breaching...

  19. A Valuable Lesson

    JuliaRNMSN replied to jojo489's topic in Developmental Disabilities

    Thanks yes it was reported. I was written up for not calling the Director. Without making the reply too long: 1. Individual had been with us only a week. 30 yrs old Chronic end stage renal failure...

  20. You are not a nurse...

    JuliaRNMSN replied to TMT_P's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have a multi-state license from Wisconsin. When I read the statutes, rules and regulations and other literature, nurse means clearly a Registered Nurse. Look up your state board of nursing...

  21. PEDS NURSES: What am I doing wrong??

    JuliaRNMSN replied to BambiBelle07's topic in Pediatric

    I look forward to your projects

  22. What would you do if....

    JuliaRNMSN replied to JuliaRNMSN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    True that it is a piece of paper. Write-ups at that organization were put in one's personnel file. I wanted to protect my license which is and has been throughout my career unencumbered. Hope I...

  23. What would you do if....

    JuliaRNMSN replied to JuliaRNMSN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    In retrospect, I believe it was a good decision to leave. That scenario and other actions by non licensed upper management I observed was enough to face reality

  24. What would you do if....

    JuliaRNMSN replied to JuliaRNMSN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yes, two write ups and you are on probation. I have not in my 30 yrs as an RN been "written up." I have been given constructive feedback or thoughtful coaching to improve. The write up process was...

  25. What would you do if....

    JuliaRNMSN replied to JuliaRNMSN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Unlicensed personnel at this organization would have never admitted to this because of fear of "being yelled at" sadly. No one came forward to say it was theirs to my knowledge. RN's were kept out...
