    RN's required to be sitters???

    JadedCPN replied to anneRN96's topic in General Nursing

    Not because they are too busy, but because they know they can take advantage of you in that sense. That’s one of those situations that you need to speak up and advocate for yourself and not take no...

    Texas Hospital making nurses resign or take care of COVID patients

    JadedCPN replied to Rex Sanchez's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Of course not every single Texan has the same mentality, I don't believe that's what the poster was saying. But Texas is known, especially to outsiders not originally from Texas, for having that Texan...

    Texas Hospital making nurses resign or take care of COVID patients

    JadedCPN replied to Rex Sanchez's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Texas absolutely failed in that they rushed to be one of the first states to open back up because they weren't seeing many cases. Well the reason they weren't seeing many cases was because the things...

    JadedCPN replied to rmerryfield88's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry to hear about your wife's cancer. I completely understand your fear and desire to keep her safe, and I think it is absolutely reasonable to resign and look elsewhere if you guys are able to...

    We use PTO, and yes many employees had their PTO depleted when hours were cut at the beginning of covid. My hospital as well as many in the areas instituted a temporary covid pay where you get a...

    Updating address on PA BON

    JadedCPN replied to jcq92's topic in General Nursing

    I've never had a PA license so can't attest to how quick or slow they are, but I can say in general that all entities are running a lot slower these days with the pandemic

    Working Weekends: How often? Seniority based?

    JadedCPN replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in General Nursing

    Both of these explanations are very plausible and reasonable. If you must know (since it doesn't impact your own weekend requirement), your best option is to ask your manager or scheduling committee...

    I make a similar post every couple of months...Am I just not meant to be a nurse?

    JadedCPN replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    Seek professional help based on this comment if you truly feel that way. Everything else in your post is relatively normal for a new grad to feel and will eventually die down with

    Too strong of a personality?

    JadedCPN replied to NICU_rn_bsn's topic in General Nursing

    Toughen up your skin. People are always going to talk about you behind your back. Perfect the ability to filter it out - take from it what truth there may be and grow from

    I turned in my mentor because she was diverting morphine

    JadedCPN replied to InSchool4eva20's topic in Addictions

    I don't come on this forum to intentionally zing people. Your responses show that you don't have an understanding of the nursing perspective of many scenarios including this one. Your responses make...

    Have you ever had to burst a left over balloon from a patient at work?

    How long is a 3 person waitlist for day shift?

    JadedCPN replied to NewGradNurse3's topic in General Nursing

    There is really no way to estimate this based on the reasons you mentioned yourself in your post and some others. Turnover, size of the unit, management, maternity leave, sickness, unit culture,...

    Transgender nurses?

    JadedCPN replied to munkyfusic's topic in General Nursing

    I just want to say that referring to being transgender as a trend comes off slightly condescending, even if that is not the intent. OP I am not transgendered but am fellow LGBTQA+, just wanting to...

    As a Nurse, is it normal to be pushed around doing different jobs at the place you work?

    JadedCPN replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    This! Also, there is a difference between being asked to do something every now and again, such as folding laundry, and being expected to do it every day as part of your daily
