    Nursing Judgement vs Physician Orders

    If the pump is still running but not dosing, the dexcom will be bound to show some pretty funky numbers. Also, do newer pumps have a feedback sensor that alarms if the insulin is "free flowing" ie no...

    LTC Question/Opinion

    Wait. You're doing the actual work and the supervisor wanted you to do next shift staffing as well? What were the expectations for the supervisor?? Carry a clipboard, wear a lab coat and walk

    Nursing Judgement vs Physician Orders

    Jedrnurse replied to renewyou62's topic in Nursing Career

    Well, look at it this way. If you know for a fact that a co-worker is making an ongoing med error, don't you think that you would have some obligation to escalate the issue? As far as proof is...

    Broadly speaking, what was the behavior or event that was made out to be bullying? How difficult was it for the regional director to defend

    Jedrnurse replied to Jedrnurse's topic in School

    Yes; some of the morphing/co-opting of the language is disturbing. "Cancel Culture" is often used in lieu of boycotting. Boycotting is a legitimate way of exercising your rights (and money power) to...

    I think you're assuming a lot of negative things about the OP. The other day a first grader stood up in my office and started to moon me to show me something that hurt. It happened quickly and the...

    Jedrnurse replied to RatherBHiking's topic in General Nursing

    Some applications I've seen just request the last three positions, not an entire resume. How long ago were your "adventures" at this hospital, and are there other jobs that you might list as well?...

    Jedrnurse replied to Jedrnurse's topic in School

    Yes, competence is different from resilience, though it's related. I think that's why I wrote "avoid my use of the word, let's call it basic competence". It's clear that we don't agree, and, for my...

    This predates COVID. Also, it involves teenagers wanting to get a license. (You don't have to be able to afford a car in order to occasionally borrow the family one. Is this an option for everyone?...
