1. What would you have done?

   juicyjake replied to NJNursing's topic in General Nursing

   You did nothingwrong, in my opinion, that is going above and beyond "the call" and your manager should thank you for it.

2. U.S. Nursing Salary CHANGES?!

   juicyjake replied to Future-nurse's topic in General Nursing

   I've heard nothing about nurse salary changes. I do agree that the healthcare system would crumble if we did not have nurses (obviously). If the salary was dropped even a little, I imagine we would lose many nurses...

3. Male nurse crying!!!

   juicyjake replied to ClassQ1's topic in Men

   If you don't get at least teary eyed at one point in your career as a nurse, then you went into the profession for the wrong reasons, IMO. I guess it depends upon where you work. Not ALL floors/areas see tragedy on a regular basis. I've gotten tear...

4. What's your Christmas wish?

   juicyjake replied to nrswnabee's topic in International

   I pray that my landlord will change his mind and let me get a dog.... I'm so lonely! haha.

5. Another thread on lazy CNAs

   juicyjake replied to catlynLPN's topic in LPN/LVN

   sounds like their laziness is creating unsafe environment for the patients. That is definitely something to be angry about. I would report them to whoever is above you..to someone who can fire them/replace them if need be.

6. Cozy 9-5 job Vs Travel Nursing

   juicyjake replied to lucy1976's topic in Travel

   Hmm...Interesting. Very nice plan BTW. Nice to see such a business oriented woman. Now you can imagine running your apartment complex with your current stress free job, but life may be a lot different supervising that complex and working 3 hellish...

7. Cozy 9-5 job Vs Travel Nursing

   juicyjake replied to lucy1976's topic in Travel

   I think you'll NEVER find a job that is as cozy as the one you're in right now. i would stay. What sort of project are you talking about? Maybe you could finance differently? Or maybe you could just live life on the wild side and pack up and leave ...

8. What would you in this kind of situation

   juicyjake replied to ari3sdog's topic in Male Students

   I would just swallow my pride and thank them for doing the job of two people (even if you're not sure of it), and tell them that you will keep an eye on the other aide. Tell them that if you notice that trend, you will alert higher management, or m...

9. I have trouble admitting that I will be a nurse

   juicyjake replied to flyingfish2u's topic in Male Students

   everyone asks me why I'm in college, and I always respond with a chuckle as I tell them that I'm going to be a nurse. They say "why are you laughing? That's awesome"! I was dragged out to a bar the other night for the first time in a while, and some ...

10. Disrespectful Nurse aids

    juicyjake replied to holdensjane's topic in General Nursing

    That's just what happens when places are understaffed. The aides are overworked and so are you. You need their help, but they are already overloaded, and have probably been mistreated by about 75 percent of the nurse that they are HELPING. I have ...

11. Question about Private Student Loans.

    juicyjake replied to Normercy's topic in General Nursing

    Wow...That is new information to me... That's terrible... People get in over their heads with stupid loans for corvettes, sports cars, excessively large homes, and they are "forgiven". But the student who was most likely misled into a career that isn...

12. Question about Private Student Loans.

    juicyjake replied to Normercy's topic in General Nursing

    She's right. A private loan is more than double the interest of a gov't loan. If you are only looking for eight thousand a year, you should try gov't loans. They will allow for a certain amount depending upon your level in school and your current i...

13. Irritated with myself....

    juicyjake replied to Virgo_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Nancy...You didn't make a bad decision, you made a GOOD decision. You were prioritizing. I am sure the other things you were taking care of would have affected those patients more than just having a new IV placement! Don't be so hard on yourself!

14. Can somebody answer my questions!!!

    juicyjake replied to shakshi's topic in ADN/BSN

    spend "that much time?" You have the rest of your life to work. 1 more year of school now will be the difference of you getting that job or department switch that you want (at the VERY least). Not to mention that you may want to specialize or become...

15. Question for RNs. . . current nursing problems.

    juicyjake replied to Dove1019's topic in Safety

    I don't think a BSN should be a MUST. I do think that a BSN nurse should be paid more than someone with an associates or a diploma. Don't you agree? This could be some of the problem concerning the lack of unity among nurses. If I went to school f...
