    Had panic attack, past drug use, my Dr is reporting me to the board! What do I do?!?

    JadedCPN replied to Maryslamb77's topic in Nurses Recovery

    This was my thought as well. Not officially diagnosing you of course, but you do not come across as stable at the moment and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that as long as you seek help if you...

    Texas governor to residents: "The safest place for you is at your home" due Covid-19 spike

    JadedCPN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    What are the police supposed to do if you resist arrest and try to use a police TASER on the cops?

    JadedCPN replied to RehabMelbourne's topic in Nurse Management

    Agree with other posters, check your state and your facility's rules. I'm not sure what you mean by posting online though; I understanding not wanting to be recorded, but I can't imagine we can...

    I can't believe this - wearing a mask during the test?

    JadedCPN replied to guest1059427's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Going forward in the future, you may want to be cautious about throwing around the "its not fair" complaint. I'm glad you were able to gain some perspective with this

    JadedCPN replied to short cake's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'd like to disagree with your statement that hospitals are desperate for nurses right now; unless it is one of the most heavy-hit covid areas, most hospitals are having the complete opposite problem;...

    Is your hospital or other healthcare workplace having Coronavirus-related layoffs?

    JadedCPN replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in Disaster Preparation

    At my facility in Texas as well as others in the same area, there haven't been official furloughs in nursing but there have been temporary official cutback in hours. Some places are losing one shift...

    JadedCPN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    The fact that you view it as competing is just beyond any words I can come up with. I agree with many others that this has not only crossed professional, ethical, and moral boundaries but it has...

    Will Protests Lead to More COVID Surges?
