1. Horrible day! Need reassuring!

   JessiJam replied to scuba nurse's topic in School

   Are you all by yourself? Or do they have an aide that can help you with coverage in the event of overflow or an emergency? Even something as simple as someone making the calls for you (by your side).

   JessiJam replied to AnnoyedNurse's topic in Management

   Great point. It's those harsh realities that sit with you. Over time, I'm sure we've all heard of situations and outcomes that we wouldn't have normally considered possible. And as others pointed out, it's all about delivery in the context of teachin...

3. Case Study

   Any update on how this turned out?

4. CVS Minute Clinic interview process

   JessiJam replied to kobe123's topic in NP

   Close friend of mine worked in a Minute Clinic for a few years. She loved it but left for maternity and loved that more, so she never went back. Lol. It's a "one man show." So, you're on your own which she liked the independence. Her only gripe was w...

5. Nomination for America's Best Nurse- American Healthcare Council

   JessiJam replied to scanda123's topic in General Nursing

   Mid-summer they called us in for a meeting. There were a couple of people from each floor plus a bunch of bigwigs (CCO, CDO, etc.). Our system has a few hundred facilities, so the people in suits now have this group of us using the American Health Co...

6. MD office to owning a practice

   JessiJam replied to hik9258's topic in Advanced

   What I wouldn't give to be in your shoes at that stage in your career. If you're happy and financially comfy, come up with a 3-5 year plan. A startup will likely involve front-heavy overhead and, unfortunately, on the back end, a lack of reciprocatin...

7. An amazing CULT-ure: Crossfit...Good or bad?

   JessiJam replied to Cwoods's topic in NP

   Like everything in life, moderation is the key to success and longevity. CrossFit is a positive but extreme nonetheless. IMO, the long-term implications of this high-impact training amongst average Joe's (and Jane's) has yet to be seen.

8. Favorite Thermometer? Recommendations?

   JessiJam replied to Jacquipals's topic in School

   Same here.

9. I Passed!!!

   JessiJam replied to AJJKRN's topic in Western Governors

   Great book, btw. As far as a read, the writing style might strike your fancy or not. But even if it doesn't, I can personally attest that there were concepts in there that have been a game changer for me. Best of luck!

10. Success story!

    JessiJam replied to Kittery's topic in School

    So happy for you! Not an easy thing to do - MAKING and INVESTING the time to troubleshoot an individual patient problem. Kudos to you!

11. Anybody else dealing with pertussis?

    JessiJam replied to Kittery's topic in School

    Critical point here. In addition to the importance of maintaining full population participation, as well following through on full administration schedule for vax treatments, the efficacy of the vax itself attributes to its success. There's a lot of ...

12. Joining the group!

    JessiJam replied to plainfieldguy's topic in School

    So wonderful to see other nurses with diverse backgrounds to share with! Welcome!

13. Can't handle the ICU

    JessiJam replied to hnwarden's topic in General Nursing

    Underwater with a brick tied to your foot isn't a good way to learn how to swim. If you're that overly uncomfortable with what you're doing, it's best to take the transfer before a misjudgement happens at someone else's expense.
