  1. Constantly Making Mistakes

    KatiejonD replied to Blueb's topic in General Nursing

    “I make mistakes. I don't report all of them. I only report them if it's necessary to do so. I hardly remember most of them. Its also now my job to find mistakes. I find so many...

  2. Putting license into inactive

    KatiejonD posted a topic in General Specialties

    I’m an RN with 12 years of experience. In January, I had my second child and have not returned to work. I know that putting your license into an “inactive” status is an option, but I have never...

  3. Putting license into inactive

    KatiejonD replied to KatiejonD's topic in General Specialties

    The fees aren’t the issue - the fact that I’m not meeting the minimum hours required to renew is. I’m considering just working rarely... but without childcare, it’s

  4. Left job to safeguard my license - what "reason" to add on new applications?

    KatiejonD posted a topic in School

    I was in my fifth year of school nursing and my administration (Principal, Superintendent, and School Board) were not supportive of medical (including emergency situations, or adherence school...

  5. NP vs MA vs MD power struggle

    KatiejonD replied to Ria21's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Oh wow. What a situation! First - as an RN myself, I can not comprehend another Nurse thinking that a Nurse Practitioner is on the same level. You have earned a higher ranking and are on a different...

  6. Advice on how to pair-down a resume?

    KatiejonD posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    My resume is loooong. As I've been an RN for years, and enjoy lateral movement, I have about 5 or 6 experiences/employers to add. When you get into the details of 'job responsibilities, my resume is 3...

  7. I left my job and feel lost.

    KatiejonD posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've been an RN for over a decade. The most recent four and a half years, I was a School Nurse - something I assumed would be temporary, but has turned out to be "my calling". Halfway through my fifth...

  8. Nurse Imposters

    KatiejonD replied to Nursemccaleb's topic in General Nursing

    I'm an RN. I would never - EVER - claim to be an APRN, or a Nurse Anesthetist, or a Doctor. It is fraud. I would report this to your State's BON. But let's be honest... we all need to be reporting...

  9. RN's are you happy with your career, why or why not?

    KatiejonD replied to anjoku13's topic in General Nursing

    I was a school nurse for five years - it was the ONLY job as in my 12 years of Nursing that I felt fulfilled doing. The money was a joke, but I felt like I was exactly where I was supposed to be....

  10. Taking a sleep aid when on call?

    KatiejonD replied to boquiabierta's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I feel this is a bad idea and not ethical. If you are not able to take call without suffering from exhaustion and anxiety... then bow out. I get it, I really do. Working in the OR and...

  11. Med error...need to vent!/suppoet

    KatiejonD replied to clh8987's topic in General Nursing

    Medication errors are the worst! After years of zero errors, I started a new job and administered a psych med, just after the pt swallowed it, they said: "I take this every night, not in the morning"....

  12. Maddening T1D non-compliance

    KatiejonD replied to pedi_nurse's topic in School

    Been there! Forth grader diagnosed with DM-II with father a lifelong DM-1. No one at home checking student's BS, and parents not collaborative (they didn't do anything, ever). So I called student's...

  13. This really happened.

    KatiejonD replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    Another one in agreement - report this teacher to your Principal. What she was doing is against the law. But arguing with you (the medical professional and in front of a student) is

  14. I may hate my School Nursing job...ADVICE, PLEASE?

    KatiejonD replied to RNPediatric18's topic in School

    I never had the problem of too much time! LOL. I worked at a middle school and had to train the kids when it was appropriate to seek medical attention (scraping your knee on a Friday evening did not...

  15. horrible immunization compliance rate

    KatiejonD replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    What I would do at this point is: 1) draft a letter co-signed with your Principal. Add that immunizations are required to be up to date by November 13th, or that student's will be excluded from school...

  16. Advice on how to pair-down a resume?

    KatiejonD replied to KatiejonD's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thanks for the feedback! I have a Bachelor's in an unrelated field, should I even include that on my resume? Also, (just curious) if I've been active for 12 years and only add the past 5 years of...

  17. Is this discrimination?

    KatiejonD replied to eacue10's topic in General Nursing

    I notice that you have identified many individuals you work with as "white" - but isn't that a form of ignoring someone's cultural background? "White" is a skin color - it's not their heritage...

  18. Unfortunate Camp Nursing Experience

    KatiejonD replied to lenochka14's topic in Camp

    I'm just chiming in to say that I, too, have had a difficult experience with camp nursing. I spent two summers at an all girl's camp in NH (ages 8-16, 'councilors' were 18-22'ish and all former...

  19. Left job to safeguard my license - what "reason" to add on new applications?

    KatiejonD replied to KatiejonD's topic in School

    I think that's a really good way for me to think of it! Thank you. As far as seeking a new job... would you have any advice if I'm not seeking a different setting, but instead another school nurse...
