1. Wage Deflation In Nursing

   jekisslpn replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

   Sorry, but you are dead wrong about YOUR UNION !! I was in SEIU 1099 paying dues while YOUR UNION agreed to 2 paycuts in 1 year 1 cut of 3% the next of 25%. They still had the nerve to collect dues. Stuff them all, they want your money and that is al...

2. Nursing positions deeply embedded in science

   jekisslpn replied to DGabe24's topic in General Nursing

   PLease do yourself and everyone else a favor, don't go into nursing! Whatever you have heard about future potential was basically a lie. A BSN will become the minimum which means you will go through school to get a start, not be at the top. You also ...

3. Medication Mistake

   jekisslpn replied to buttercup_rn's topic in New Nurse

   As an LPN who has had over a decade of Home Care experience I will say this is a common error for RN's. During several H1N1 clinics I noticed it is a common practice for paramedics/emt's to draw each other's meds. Not sure what it is in RN training, ...

4. Working RNs and the CNA are to blame for new graduate RN program shortages .

   jekisslpn replied to murs's topic in New Nurse

   The real problem with nursing right now is all the people who could not find any job, saw the nws articles saying be a nurse, and decided why not. The field is now flooded. 5 new nursing schools hve opened within 50mi of me in the past 3 years. 2004 ...

5. How do you handle patient information on security sign in sheets?

   jekisslpn replied to Chi-townHomeRN's topic in Home Health

   Actually to calm your nerves I suggest you leave off any designation from your name such as RN and don't fill out the company name. Those are two things the security in the building has no need to know. Without that info nobody who looks at the log w...

7. 20 % Pay Cut for Ohio Independent Providers

   jekisslpn replied to katnursey's topic in Ohio

   I will try to be nice. I am amazed at the people who appear to be totally clueless, not only what is happening, but what has transpired in the past. a 15% pay cut was proposed in 2006. The Ohio Home Care Council, LPNAO and Ohioip.net fought and had t...

8. 20 % Pay Cut for Ohio Independent Providers

   jekisslpn replied to katnursey's topic in Ohio

   Based on the way I have been treated as a criminal by Carestar personnel for the past year I decided that I will only be willing to be an IP for 2 more years if I am still with the same pt I currently have. Now I realize I may go back to the higher p...

9. will nursing ever be in demand again?

   jekisslpn replied to amzyRN's topic in California

   The Nursing field has always gone through ups and downs. The current Nursing grads who are flooding the market will drive down demand for years. Couple that with those who are waiting to enter school and in my opinion it will be at least a decade bef...

11. How does BON handle + marijuana screens from nurses in states that have legalized it?

    jekisslpn replied to Neveranurseagain's topic in General Nursing

    The bottom line for Marijuana use by anyone whose profession dictates they be recreational drug free, Doctors, Firemen, Police , and yes Nurses will still not be able to claim their use is valid with an Rx. You will still be subject to the terms of ...

12. What is your opinion on antibiotic use for acne?

    jekisslpn replied to lilaclover's topic in General Nursing

    I am getting extremely disappointed with responses to posts on this site. We are nurses, not doctors! Granted we are required to double check medication orders prior to administration, and may be able to give input to med modification, but to reject...

13. Nursing Students- Were Any of You "B" Students- and Still Got Accepted?

    jekisslpn replied to lifelearningrn's topic in General Students

    I was far from an A student before I went to Nursing school, but I did very well on the admission test. Once I got in I was an A student. It all depends on your study habits and I found helping others understand helped me a great deal. My shool did n...

14. Rant about ungrateful, demanding patients

    jekisslpn replied to KSU-SN's topic in Relations

    I would have become very "concerned" and told her I will have to contact Social Services regarding he inability to care for herself let alone a baby, and perhaps they could both be placed, her in a nursng home and the baby in foster care. She would h...
