    What should I wear to pick up paperwork on my day off?

    JadedCPN replied to medapop's topic in General Nursing

    I don't go into work on my off days / on a day where I don't clock in. If I'm clocked in, I'm in scrubs or professional clothing. I have seen people come in, for whatever reason, on their off...

    Unfairness at work

    JadedCPN replied to Loveishope1970's topic in General Nursing

    In most hospitals I’ve worked at, two months would definitely not be enough advance notice for PTO dates in September to guarantee my spot. My current facility allows PTO requests six months in...

    Unfairness at work

    JadedCPN replied to Loveishope1970's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry for your loss and understand your frustration right now. I do think there are some things to consider; perhaps multiple other people already asked for and got approved for PTO during...

    ICU orientation

    JadedCPN replied to beekee's topic in General Nursing

    As an experienced nurse in my opinion, 7 weeks is reasonable and along the lines of other orientations I've seen to transition to ICU. Of course if you don't feel ready, make sure you're communicating...

    Social Media Worry

    JadedCPN replied to k1p1ssk's topic in School

    While this SHOULD be the case, unfortunately nowadays something like this could definitely get a nurse into hot water. It is one of the many reasons I gave up social media years ago. It's just not...

    BEDSIDE...run, don't walk!

    JadedCPN replied to CaffeinePOQ4HPRN's topic in General Nursing

    What a passive-aggressive, gaslighting thing to say. The OP did not generalize all bedside nursing as bad and in fact stated specifically that the advice is only for people with negative experience at...

    NOPE! I don't make calling in a habit, but I have absolutely zero nada nothing zilch guilt when I do call in, even if it is just for a mental health

    Onlyfans - does it matter how you paid for school?

    JadedCPN replied to nursingmom9727's topic in General Students

    There is a possibility that ANY classmate may see it, regardless of their gender. For what is is worth OP, I am very pro-sex positivity and personally do not feel it should have any bearing on your...

    Employee Spends Large Amounts of Time in Empty Patient Rooms

    JadedCPN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure you yourself were complained about to management many times by staff who couldn't find you (in reference to your previous posts), and it sounds like nothing was ever done to you nor were you...

    Is this Med error/bad ?

    JadedCPN replied to Beachgirlxo2017's topic in General Nursing

    I float to the ED enough to laugh way too hard at this, so true. It doesn't matter if it was heparin or a normal saline KVO infusion really; The only "error" that was made here was OP admitted they...

    Is this Med error/bad ?

    JadedCPN replied to Beachgirlxo2017's topic in General Nursing

    I'm really confused how several posters are jumping to all these conclusions that the patient is going to a procedure or has high lab values when all the OP said was she received an order to stop a...

    Pediatric Nurses Floating in Adult Hospital

    JadedCPN replied to manless's topic in General Nursing

    I work in a pediatric-only hospital and faced a unique situation with Covid. Several facilities in the area, including two pediatric-only hospitals, started accepting adult patients due to lack of bed...

    Clinical ladder change

    JadedCPN replied to Mini2544's topic in General Nursing

    Based on previous clinical ladders I've been through at various hospitals, this does not seem unreasonable to me. Compared to when I first started some 14+ years ago, facilities are implementing...

    Is this Med error/bad ?

    JadedCPN replied to Beachgirlxo2017's topic in General Nursing

    This, absolutely. Part of my admission/transfer spiel always has and always will include three important times: morning shift change, 0900 med pass, and night shift change. I make it very clear to the...

    Hating float pool - came from the OR, what should I do?

    JadedCPN replied to adeela01's topic in General Nursing

    When I had a home unit for the first 9 years of my career, I hated floating. Then I joined float pool when we moved cross country with the intention of using it to "try out" the floors I like and find...
