    Black Jade replied to jschex6's topic in General Nursing

    jschex6: Unfortunately I have seen many of these mistakes happen when Medical Records will file the patient's results in the wrong

  2. Worst 1st job experience

    Black Jade replied to carmella2678's topic in General Nursing

    Carmella, I would've done the same thing. I got hired as a Per Diem Research Nurse. They expect me to be already on my own, when they haven't given me half of the orientation. It's already one...

  3. Insurance Nursing assessment jobs

    Black Jade replied to 65countryrn's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

  4. Venting about job search...Has anyone experienced this?

    Black Jade replied to rnnow09's topic in General Nursing

    Yep. It happened to me. From all the interviews I had while searching a job as a nurse, only one supervisor called me back to let me know that I wasn't the right candidate. I was a New Grad....

  5. Will this effect me?????

    Black Jade replied to Darkpk55's topic in General Nursing

    I I'm like you. Sometimes I have a hard time explaining things. A lot of people have told me that I'm very smart, but deep inside of me I don't feel that way sometimes. I had an example today when...

  6. The thing about 12 hour shifts...vent

    Black Jade replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    You shouldn't give any explanation as to the fact that you are not lazy and that you work hard. You already know what type of an ignorant person your MIL. At first I thought that she would barge...

  9. Is she taking advantage of my RN license?

    Black Jade replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

  10. Any RNs switched to PA career?

    Black Jade replied to babblingbrook's topic in General Nursing

    I am the same. I worry and get flustered if I do something wrong, which I often wonder how I got myself in nursing. To be honest, I thought that once I finished with nursing I didn't have to go back...

  11. Whose fault is it?

    Black Jade replied to perfectpractice's topic in General Nursing

    I'd say it's the instructor's fault. When I was in nursing school, we would meet half hour before receiving report for pre-conference. The clinical instructor will have that day's checklist and...

    Black Jade replied to studentlearning10's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I HATED care plans when I was in nursing school. I would spend hours working on my nursing diagnoses and interventions. I also knew the purpose for the care plan was to help us with our critical...

  15. Did I do the I'm injection correctly?

    Black Jade replied to MzTayTay's topic in General Nursing

    I used to always give Depo Provera in the deltoid muscle. Rarely I would give it in the gluteus muscle, but if I did, I would give it Z-track. On ocassions I would have some medication leaking out,...

  16. Is it ever okay to wear

    Black Jade replied to TickyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I went to two interviews wearing my scrubs. One, because I had clinical right after and the other one I just got out of work. I got hired at both jobs. As long as you let the manager know ahead of...

  17. For the Clinic/office Nurses

    Black Jade replied to Juwon's topic in General Nursing

    I used to work at a healthcare center in California as a New Grad and the pay was almost the same as the hospital. I got paid $30/hr. If you are biliingual they pay you a bonus after passing the...

  18. Orientation not up to par

    Black Jade posted a topic in General Nursing

    Black Jade replied to 2011NursingStudent's topic in General Nursing

  23. Would YOU recommend to a friend/family member, etc..

    Black Jade replied to digoe74's topic in Nursing Career

    I haven't encouraged or discouraged anybody from entering nursing. I just give them the facts and it's up to them to decide on their own if this for them. There was a former coworker who asked me...
