    Experiencing racism and xenophobia when coming to CA to help with Covid

    JadedCPN replied to xwill327's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Everything about this statement makes me cringe as a member of the LGBTQ community. The use of words such as sashaying and flamboyance were very intentional, would likely never be used to describe any...

    I feel very lost

    JadedCPN replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    You’ve received some great words of wisdom from previous posters and I completely agree. I’ve been bedside for 14 years and never want to be NP or management, yet I know I will transition away...

    Is PPE really helping?

    JadedCPN replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    There's so many more factors that go into this before being able to say it was human error or the PPE. Strictly subjective on my experience, I have persistently floated to a covid unit since it...

    New Grad RN Job Advice

    JadedCPN replied to ngnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Its been two weeks since the other interview and you haven't heard a peep at all, not even a reach out from HR, just word of mouth from a friend? I would not be putting any eggs in that basket; the...

    Ever date a patient? Or would you?

    JadedCPN replied to MarkMyWords's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely not. It blows my mind again that someone who “specializes in nursing ethics” would consider this. But maybe this is an adulting nursing thing that just seems ridiculous to me in...

    Reasonable Accommodations

    JadedCPN replied to may1787's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Just because you didn’t like all of the answers that were given doesn’t mean that people weren’t kind. Goodness; ironically the person with the most “unkind” responses has been from

    New Medical Syndrome (can I have it named after me...)

    Honestly this whole pandemic and mask wearing has really made me question the deep things in life, like.....has my breath always stunk like

    Reasonable Accommodations

    JadedCPN replied to may1787's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I had to reread the replies several times to make sure I didn’t miss anything - I didn’t see a single negative comment, and definitely didn’t see a snarky comment. You asked for opinions, and...

    Should I feel bad for not picking up extra shifts?

    JadedCPN replied to nursekaterpn's topic in General Nursing

    This type of thinking is part of the problem and why these hospitals and facilities can get away with chronic understaffing. I don’t owe it to ANYONE to “pitch in.” That is not my job nor my...

    covid related job questions

    Nope, I don't feel weird about it one

    Has anybody else switched from an RN job to a CNA job?

    JadedCPN replied to hazyblue's topic in General Nursing

    Surely this bolded part can't be correct, as everything "below" an RN's current licensure level still falls within our scope of practice, I.e. changing diapers, hygiene ADLs,

    Why is it called the nurses’ station when it should be called the CNAs’ station?

    I don't care what it is called. At

    Should patients all patients in every unit have to wear masks while in the hospital?

    JadedCPN replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    At my current hospital, a mask is required all the time that you are outside of your room for both the patient and the families. We also request that a mask be worn by patient and family when a staff...

    Need some serious new grad advice

    JadedCPN replied to newbienursie's topic in General Nursing

    This. These were my first thoughts as well; trachs, g-tubes, vents - sounds like more experience than most people get in their first

    Will I get into trouble by checking my own blood sugar using hospital device?

    JadedCPN replied to Ncap's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Thanks for the info. With that being said, I'm surprised there isn't required annual training on EMTALA across the hospital. Every place I've worked, it was only required if you worked in the ED...

    Will I get into trouble by checking my own blood sugar using hospital device?

    JadedCPN replied to Ncap's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    My (somewhat limited) understanding with EMTALA is that it is a requirement of Emergency Departments specifically, so it would be appropriate of the floor to tell the visitor that they need to check...

    Will I get into trouble by checking my own blood sugar using hospital device?

    JadedCPN replied to Ncap's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I think the bigger issue here is that you entered random numbers to make up a MRN, more so than you actually checking your own sugar. I completely agree with everyone else that you need to just...

    Help. My clinical group dislikes me.

    JadedCPN replied to Koemmyjemmy's topic in General Students

    It sounds like you are trying way too hard, and they don't deserve that energy. At the same time, that could also be what is pushing them away. They may like you, they may not - who cares, it should...

    Blacklisted from HCA

    JadedCPN replied to nursingsprettycool17's topic in General Nursing

    Just to add to the spot on advice you’ve gotten so far: yes, it is definitely legal, and I would disagree that it is petty. Many hospitals put you on a do not rehire list, even ones where you...

    Blacklisted from HCA

    JadedCPN replied to nursingsprettycool17's topic in General Nursing

    This thread is full of many lessons that nurses, especially newer nurses, should heed! Be very cautious when signing a contract, especially as a new grad. Be very thoughtful when breaking a...

    Is this a safety concern?

    JadedCPN replied to Sbhayes09's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That blows my mind!! Regardless of your gender, and whether the patient was a convicted rapist or not...there’s absolutely no excuse for that! Glad it worked

    "Donations"

    JadedCPN replied to rn9687's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    As other posters have mentioned, the issue becomes questionable when staff are donating directly to specific patients, rather than to, for instance, a unit's donation box which is accessible to all...
