  1. Afraid to quit my job

    JJ the crit RN replied to nsue's topic in General Nursing

    I'm afraid I don't agree with those who want you to give a month notice. This employer's problems are not your problems. If they burn through managers like you've said then they got issues. You're in...

  2. Are we still in high school?

    JJ the crit RN replied to Nurse8282's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I'm sure your facility has a Human Resources, that's what they're there for. You can bypass your ineffective manager and I'm not sure about pulling this hostile nurse aside for a one to one either. A...

  3. When patients keep calling 911

    JJ the crit RN posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Acute care hospital. Patient doesn't get what she wants from the kitchen: calls 911. Doesn't get a snack because we have to save them for diabetic urgencies: calls 911. Pain med is late or the doctor...

  4. Job interview ethics...

    JJ the crit RN replied to emmafrancis's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Other hospitals poach our nurses all the time, managers don't know each other. Although they may not wish to give an awful employee to another hospital, that's a courtesy, although it depends on how...

  5. Terminated after two months and in need of help please!

    JJ the crit RN replied to WorriedNurse25's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Oh by the way, Google nursing insurance (I don't think I can say a company) and carry a policy. I think I pay 75 bucks a year, they handle malpractice and any other problems that come up. don't think...

  6. Terminated after two months and in need of help please!

    JJ the crit RN replied to WorriedNurse25's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Ha, if I had a nickel for every time I yelled at a patient. Yelled at other staff too, not so much though. The frustration gets to old nurses as well as young, and yes they do put people in the charge...

  7. Lost my IV skills

    JJ the crit RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    You know me, I was the one you called when you couldn't get a vein. These days though I can't seem to hit anything. What happened? It's not just a slump, I've been through those before and always came...

  8. Taking your benefits away one by one

    JJ the crit RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Our non profit was bought by a Chinese investing group a few years ago, to add to the main owner's growing monopoly of hospitals. We'd heard he was cheap, cheap cheap, but didn't understand how much...

  9. Day nurses who switched from nights, is it better?

    JJ the crit RN replied to tarotale's topic in General Nursing

    Pro: better sleep, more energy, less sick time. cons: way, way more work, more politics, more managers and corporate suits wandering the halls, more families, more doctors and families blaming YOU for...

  10. Is this considered 1 Occurrence?

    JJ the crit RN replied to whomiskim's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    So what? It's a general forum where people ask questions. Answer the question or don't. But leaving a crass reply is something another nurse does not

  11. Taking your benefits away one by one

    JJ the crit RN replied to JJ the crit RN's topic in General Nursing

    WHY would a Chinese investment group purchase a non-profit? Someone must explain to me. Non-profit/investment?? Makes no sense. They turned it into a corporate for-profit hospital,...

  12. Taking your benefits away one by one

    JJ the crit RN replied to JJ the crit RN's topic in General Nursing

    My BS meter is ringing off the hook. Something about the OP is off, as if the story is partly or completely embellished. What a sweet and thoughtful post. My story is in fact completely true,...

  13. Why can't hospitals do better?

    JJ the crit RN replied to ORNurseCOS's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Something tells me you all just wrote a paper for the
