    What do you work in the float pool?

    JadedCPN replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Only $1/hr float differential for where you work, ONE DOLLAR?? That is crazy! I've been float pool for almost 6 years now and can not imagine ever having a "home" again. Which is funny...

    I need good advice from other nurses.

    JadedCPN replied to KaliNurse19's topic in General Nursing

    For what it is worth, travelers tend to have more hospital experience and do not need as much training as someone like you would because they can hit the ground running with very minimal orientation....

    JadedCPN replied to candicenguyen's topic in General Students

    How much experience does your manager/assistant manager have?

    JadedCPN replied to DownstreamOcclusion's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think there's a concrete number; someone could have 2.5 years of experience and be an amazing leader, likewise someone could have 20 years of experience and be a trash leader. In regards...

    Failed clinical portion of nursing school during COVID

    JadedCPN replied to candicenguyen's topic in General Students

    I'm not sure why you are viewing it this way instead of asking yourself how can a student fail something as "easy" as virtual online. The blame lies with him. I realize you likely don't want to hear...

    Being a preceptor as a new(ish) nurse?

    JadedCPN replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    Years ago in my new grad residency, we had three tiers of preceptors - the first we were with were nurses with about 1 year's experience, with the intention that they were still fresh enough to...

    Forgot to unclamp chest tube?

    JadedCPN replied to DH1234's topic in General Nursing

    In theory you can get fired for just about anything. However like JBMmom stated, you mostly will not get fired just on this (without knowing any previous work issues or details about the situation)....

    'Taking Call? Am I missing something??

    JadedCPN replied to Calbrunette's topic in General Nursing

    But do other people in the department have a set day that they take call on other days? If you are the only person who EVER has to take call, that would definitely be a no for

    Help! New graduated registered nurse having difficulty finding a job!

    JadedCPN replied to Butterfly70's topic in General Nursing

    You could always transfer to a hospital after getting enough experience to make you look desirable to a hospital, so your goal for BSN can still be achieved. You are best to get a nursing job as...

    Will you take the Pfizer Covid Vaccine?

    JadedCPN replied to guest83140's topic in School

    I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    JadedCPN replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    @myoglobin my statement wasn’t casual in nature but rather factual and directed only to your statement about not having a choice for the flu vaccine when you did indeed have a choice. That’s

    JadedCPN replied to guest874748's topic in General Students

    Their thought might be the same - just don't see the point in having this person as a student when they couldn't even remember an orientation. At the end of the day they are a business and you are an...

    Does it feel to everyone else that many newer nurses glamourize the ER and ICU?

    JadedCPN replied to The0Walrus's topic in General Nursing

    Same here for the past 3 hospitals I've worked at over the last dozen-ish years. Even as a float nurse, acute care only and critical care only floats get paid the same float differential amount; only...
