    Integrity - Should I say something

    JBudd replied to MickyMb2's topic in General Students

    @ Queen Tiye, absolutely, which is why I said "if it affects patient care or ... unprofessional behavior". Which all of the things you cited do and are. I don't want to work with racists or bigots...

    Anxious About Clinicals

    JBudd replied to guest1122560's topic in General Students

    I had a student on her very first day of clinicals stay up far too late working on her care plan. It was..... not very good. When I was critiquing it, she lost it. Full blown tears, sobbing, etc....

    Integrity - Should I say something

    JBudd replied to MickyMb2's topic in General Students

    Before making a stink about it, you need more than assumptions. I personally can say thank you in about 10 languages. I often have thanked our maintainance staff in Spanish, they do a great job in...

    Integrity - Should I say something

    JBudd replied to MickyMb2's topic in General Students

    Again, was it derogatory? I am not Hispanic, and I do speak and use Spanish a lot at work. I personally don't use Snapchat, so am not familiar with how public it is. If you received it, you are free...

    Integrity - Should I say something

    JBudd replied to MickyMb2's topic in General Students

    I didn't catch the part about the video being made by the other person. Was it put out publicly? Is the use of Spanish somehow derogatory towards this person? (sorry, to me Gracias Senor also...

    People are free to have whatever opinions they want, morally disgusting or not, political, religious, etc. The only time you should say anything to the school is if it affects patient care or you...

    Nurse as a Patient?

    JBudd replied to beekindRN's topic in General Nursing

    I had a colonoscopy done, (yeah, I'm at that age); and kept telling them my IV hurt. Got to the next room, and it swelled to a goose egg. Different nurse tried the hand, it blew, he pulled it and...

    Mini Rant

    JBudd replied to ShadowNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Have you tried to meet with the manager of a floor you want to work on? And give them your work experience, and ask if they would look at your application despite being "weeded out". Lot of people...

    $3.85 dollars an hour. I may cry

    JBudd replied to Nickc58's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think the BON is trolling, no. I do think if any problems in the future come up, and her background gets looked at in depth, there is the possibility of this coming up. All it takes is one...

    yeah, that (above post). BONs don't like illegalities that can call your trustworthiness into

    Co-worker issue

    JBudd replied to weluvoands's topic in General Nursing

    I'm on the fence here, since you do work for the place it is conceiveable the nurse was embarrassed to be called out. On the other hand, having a wrong BP noted in your mom's chart is worse. And a...

    Anxious, depressed, and might need to go to HR.

    JBudd replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like HR worked the way it should for once ? Good for you! Despite all the stress, you took care of you (keep up the counseling), made a proactive move and ended up in a good place. Whether or...

    How Much was your First RN Paycheck?

    JBudd replied to igottaconquer246's topic in General Nursing

    In 1981, $9 and some change, an hour. Minimum wage was 1.23 or so. Almost 9 times the minimum wage! Now, less than 5 times the minimum

    Trump's 'religious conscience'

    JBudd replied to PediatricMA's topic in General Nursing

    As a Christian, I will not participate in actively ending the life of a viable fetus. I will care for, and extend empathy/sympathy/etc. for the woman who is going through that, if she arrives in my...

    New Nurse Precepting a New Grad Nurse

    JBudd replied to AllyAnnie2115's topic in General Nursing

    The only good thing about a newbie precepting, instead of a crusty old bat like me, is you still remember all the questions and things that are new to you. I take a lot for granted, and can feel...

    Athletic/Muscular Scrubs for Men

    JBudd replied to StudiousMurse's topic in General Students

    Have you considered making your own? Scrub pants patterns are quite easy, and you can adjust them to fit the way you like. If you don't sew, there are people out there who do, and once they tailor a...

    JBudd replied to Ra3liana's topic in General Nursing

    Not only are we not "in the ratio" (my management doesn't acknowledge a hard number ratio); we are not staffed at night to cover all the holds. Our staffing goes down according to the usual number of...

    Grad RN and Single Mom

    JBudd replied to chelleb123's topic in General Nursing

    I honestly don't see how you can care for a toddler during the day and still get enough sleep to be safe to work. If you do call and have to decline, be sure to pitch it that you can't get daycare for...
