  1. Just how many nurses from IL do we have here at allnurses?

    jadednurse replied to jadednurse's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Welcome

  2. Disability Discrimination

    jadednurse replied to nowplayingEDRN's topic in New York Nursing

    UntamedSpirit...so sorry to hear this is happening to you. You might want to gather some info from the EEOC website...

  3. But I have little kids!

    jadednurse replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    Hogan, your prn system sounds like a good idea. I bet your staff was very happy w/ that set up. ----------------------------------------------- OK, dare I give an example of the "but I have little...

  4. Human Resource Lingo

    jadednurse replied to Brownms46's topic in Nursing Humor

    :chuckle :roll Having just recently interviewed for a job, this really hit

  5. the cnas have taken over!!

    jadednurse replied to beaglemom's topic in General Nursing

    And yes MylissaG, I was an aide while I was in nursing school (I mentioned that earlier in this thread). I fail to see the point you are trying to make...perhaps you're not really making one and just...

  6. the cnas have taken over!!

    jadednurse replied to beaglemom's topic in General Nursing

    Are you refering to my post #82??? How did you infer that it was a power trip issue??? I was simply stating that licensure is an issue. No need to get hostile

  7. the cnas have taken over!!

    jadednurse replied to beaglemom's topic in General Nursing

    While it may seem that way to you and some others, there is the issue of licensure to consider. CNAs and other UNLICENSED assistive personnel are working under OUR LICENSES and that may very well be...

  8. But I have little kids!

    jadednurse replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    It's not what you're saying, it's how your saying it agent. Please accept a bit of constructive criticism...the point often gets lost when one starts name-calling and

  9. the cnas have taken over!!

    jadednurse replied to beaglemom's topic in General Nursing

    So wouldn't the obvious solution be to introduce a new Kardex system? Or for the CNAs to get report from the nurse and then share that w/ the next shift? When I was a PCT I learned quickly the type...

  10. But I have little kids!

    jadednurse replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    Peggysue, compassion has less to do with this than fairness does. Everyone needs to take their turn regardless of their family situation...that's what's fair, isn't

  11. Anyone ever work for Optum???..

    jadednurse replied to IloveSnoopy's topic in Telephone Triage

    Bump. I'm curious to see the responses

  12. But I have little kids!

    jadednurse replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    Just wanted to add that sometimes it's not a choice to have children for some women...they aren't able to. So the argument that "it's your choice not to have children" just really has no merit for...

  13. But I have little kids!

    jadednurse replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    And you should really wait until you are a nurse and then see what your opinions

  14. The Right to Die?

    jadednurse replied to CseMgr1's topic in General Nursing

    I just have one comment on this... Jeb Bush. The end. Thank

  15. But I have little kids!

    jadednurse replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    I hear ya Tweety. As a single, childless woman, it seems like I always got stuck w/ Christmas, Easter, Halloween, etc. I may not have kids, but hey, I'm somebody elses kid, ya

  16. For Fun: Weirdest Thing in Pt. Bed

    jadednurse replied to PlanetCaroline's topic in General Nursing

    This deserved an encore!

  17. 14 Nurses Fired and 9 disciplined in Kentucky

    jadednurse replied to nurseattorney's topic in General Nursing

    "She said when they're (patients) pulling their tubes out and acting combative, you have to act fast, and that's what they (nurses) were told to do," Ziegler said. "She said everybody did it,"...

  18. I finally had the guts to say no!!!

    jadednurse replied to stella123 rn's topic in General Nursing

    I hear what you're saying. But admitting that patient to a floor/nurse that is already over-extended is hardly in that patient's best interest either. In my experience, a good admissions coordinator...

  19. pre interview jitters

    jadednurse replied to gooser's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Awesome advice. I would also add, educate yourself fully about the program/facility and ask relevant questions. Good luck and let us know how things turn

  20. Why are nursing students so completely disrepected?

    jadednurse replied to agent's topic in General Students

    LOL! Trust me, the med students get their share of crap and humiliation too. Not that it justifies the way nursing students are treated, but it's the truth. I remember as a nursing student...

  21. reusing in-line suction catheters

    jadednurse replied to CRHSrn's topic in General Nursing

    You're joking,

  22. Tel nurse crosstraing for ICU

    jadednurse replied to Noney's topic in MICU, SICU

    Noney, how exciting! I honestly think that if you like tele you're going to love ICU. You need to know so much more about your patients, but you get to b/c you have less patients! The codes will...

  23. Plasmanate or 5% Albumin postop

    jadednurse replied to helix's topic in MICU, SICU

    Wouldn't an advantage of giving albumin be that the patient is receiving less fluid volume/less chance of volume

  24. I really could use some advice

    jadednurse replied to nursypoo62's topic in Illinois Nursing

    You have been in recovery for 13 months...good for you! It has got to be extremely hard to go back to nursing after what has happened. Good for you for having the courage! Looks like you are new to...

  25. Survey: Do you use the Internet as a resource for patient education materials?

    jadednurse replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Which sites are you guys using the most? Does your facility have any guidlines or restrictions on educational materials. I would thin there might be some legal ramifications if inaccurate...
