    Continuous pulse oximetry monitoring and COVID

    JadedCPN replied to macleod340's topic in Disaster Preparation

    To piggy back on that, are you pulse oximeters connected to a central monitoring system that someone monitors (usually unit secretary who will alert you that they alarming) or that directly alerts you...

    16 Hour Shifts

    JadedCPN replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

    Just. Say. No. Although I prefer to not say anything at all as I owe them no obligation to say yes or no to their short staffing. I don't respond texts or phone calls about working extra unless...

    feeling a bit lost as a student. And trying to find work at the same time

    JadedCPN replied to LoutusCNA.VT1983's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm sorry to hear about your accident but glad you are alright. Unless you live in an extremely rural area, public transportation should solve the problem of lack of car until you're able to...

    Student Attempted IV 7 Times

    JadedCPN replied to ChickenHealer's topic in General Nursing

    That's crazy that they thought she'd never have to place an IV. In fairness I will say the "top-ranked" BSN program I graduated from in 2006 taught IV skills but we weren't allowed to actually attempt...

    Leaving Work / Nurse Duties Incomplete Passing To Night Shift

    JadedCPN replied to coffeeandvendingmachines's topic in General Nursing

    No shift should be staying an hour after their shift for something that isn’t time sensitive which they couldn’t get to - nursing is 24 hours. We need to stop having this mentality about...

    What CNA to RN, "now I understand" realization have you had?

    JadedCPN replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with others in regards to the charting being so time consuming. I remember as a CNA we would think some nurses were just being lazy always on the computer, but I realized when I became a nurse...

    Back pain... the abysmal side effect of nursing

    JadedCPN replied to NickiLaughs's topic in Health, Stress Management

    This is basically what I was going to say. I am surprised by how many people don't raise the bed, even for a simple task. Multiply that simple task times hundreds of times a week, times all the...

    Student Attempted IV 7 Times

    JadedCPN replied to ChickenHealer's topic in General Nursing

    There are a lot of things that don't sound right and don't add up with this story. -Why would your clinical coordinator ask if you guys got to do any IV attempts when you stated that she...

    rotating shifts

    JadedCPN replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in General Nursing

    As others have mentioned, the pregnancy is irrelevant and on a side note unless it is extremely high risk, there really shouldn't be a doctors not excusing you from rotating shifts based on being...

    Leaving Work / Nurse Duties Incomplete Passing To Night Shift

    JadedCPN replied to coffeeandvendingmachines's topic in General Nursing

    I've worked days and nights. There is a difference between being so busy you can't complete everything, and truly leaving things that could have been done - it is rare to find nurses that are...

    Forced into ICU With No Training

    JadedCPN replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

    The real issue here that would have me looking at other jobs isn't that you were floated to ICU - as others have mentioned we don't know enough details. The assignment could have still been...

    Is there a way to separate the title "Nurse" away from your name?

    JadedCPN replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    You seem to make big deals out of little things and/or overly complicate things. If, for whatever reason, you don't like being introduced as a nurse then simply tell your friends and family who are...

    COVID-19: Suspected Abuse of Systems

    JadedCPN replied to Missingyou's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The only people I would have issues with would be the higher ups at the facility who run such a toxic workplace that people would burn through their PTO and lie about exposure just to get some time...

    Is working overtime bad for your health?

    JadedCPN replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    There's nothing wrong with working overtime as long as it isn't effecting your mental (and physical) health. I go through spurts of overtime cycles where I pick up a whole bunch and then go a while...

    Nurses with Unusual Diets

    JadedCPN replied to SilverBells's topic in Exercise and Healthy Living's Exercise

    This is such a bizarre post, which says a lot considering the OPs history of posts as is. As many others have already stated, this isn't healthy or anything to be proud of and could literally be...

    Unsure About Position: Critical Care Float Pool RN (+ ED)

    JadedCPN replied to CowgirlHippy's topic in General Nursing

    I would keep in mind that right now you are entering a float position during peak respiratory season AND during a pandemic, so I am not surprised that you're spending more time in ICU at the moment....

    Is it reasonable for Nurses to be fired who "ran away" from work during the pandemic?

    JadedCPN replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Is it reasonable for Nurses to be fired who "ran away" from work during the pandemic?

    JadedCPN replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This is once again none of your business and just not worth your energy. This is a reoccurring theme with your posts, I think you'd be a lot happier if you learned to just let things go that shouldn't...

    How to Deal with Staff Who Don't Like You?

    JadedCPN replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    I do find it ironic that the person talking about how healthcare is full of bullies and that we are all better than this and should treat each other better has, in fact, had the nastiest replies to...

    Got The Vaccine! Share Your Experience

    JadedCPN replied to Nurse SMS's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I received my second Pfizer dose on Wednesday AM. First dose side effects for me was fatigue the next day but that’s it. Second dose was a doozy: fever, chills, body aches, and fatigue for about 48...

    I agree with everything JKL33 said. I offended someone(s) on this forum in the past by stating that they are not relevant enough to impact my life...Don't let anyone have that much power over you,...
