    Nurses make more than median salary, so you should be grateful for what you earn?

    JadedCPN replied to pecantreechipmunk's topic in General Nursing

    I will always be grateful for the travelers I work with and do not care how much more paid they are than me - I don't fault them for that, I blame the greedy corporation. Travelers are not at fault...

    Sign On Bonuses, Tuition Assistance, Hospital Benefits

    JadedCPN replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    Same, we are seeing a huge rise in sign-on bonuses in my area at just about every single

    Sneaky Administration

    JadedCPN replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn’t have promoted her but definitely agree with the general concept of this for sure. I am still shocked at my current work place how people think the start time is a suggestion and...

    Longest Shift You've Worked

    JadedCPN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    You have gotten tons of thoughts and advice on this already; asking for more at this point is just further attention seeking. I will follow the lead of the other poster and say: good luck, take...

    Public health interview

    JadedCPN replied to EDNURSE20's topic in General Nursing

    Since you say this is a new area for you, I would focus on figuring out how to tie in your previous experience outside of this specialty into this new specialty so that you can highlight it during the...

    JadedCPN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for the update! I meant to Google for an update in this randomly the other week but

    Do hospitals allow nurses to wear their own respirators of choice?

    JadedCPN replied to Kara638's topic in General Nursing

    As usual, you’ve received some great advice by the members here. I would be interested to understand more about why you feel you need these additional respirators, what actual scientific...

    Sneaky Administration

    JadedCPN replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I've only worked in inpatient hospital settings, but I think that would be all the evidence I need to find a new job

    Longest Shift You've Worked

    JadedCPN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    That’s not really push back, especially if you didn’t say anything when they suggested you may be able to help. You simply could have said “that would be something our educator will need to do...

    Do you ever pick up your phone on your day off when work calls you?

    JadedCPN replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    No I don’t pick up any work calls on my days off, regardless of what it might be about. I also don’t work in such a toxic environment and/or have anxiety about investigations at

    Arthritis and Bedside Nursing?

    JadedCPN replied to freesia29's topic in General Nursing

    Every floor is going to be different. But with inpatient nursing you're not only going to be doing all those steps, you'll also be turning patients, rolling patients, moving/re-positioning frequently,...

    Giving Medication to Coworker

    JadedCPN replied to TxERNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Oh boy, this could turn into a really big deal especially since your manager already knows. It could range from being written up, to being terminated, to being reported. You gave a medication from the...

    Management Progression Assistance

    JadedCPN replied to HOPEforRNs's topic in General Nursing

    You’ve received a lot of great opinions and advice here from a variety of nurses, as well as you stating all the recruiters telling you the path you’d need to take. I understand it wasn’t what...

    Getting Fired

    JadedCPN replied to Mcl1980's topic in General Nursing

    Great advice. That's one of the benefits of being float pool and not having a "home" unit, you hear all the drama but rarely get caught up in it. And the occasions that people do try to pull you in, I...

    Employer refusing to provide even verification

    JadedCPN replied to mermer_rn's topic in General Nursing

    Obviously your current employer is handling this so inappropriately like others have already stated. But I am a little curiously surprised that your potential new employer is using this as a hold up...

    More pay or better ratios?

    JadedCPN replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Better ratios, hands down. We recently received an across the board raise to show appreciation in my facility which was lovely but I would much rather have better staffing and ancillary staffing....

    Have you ever left a nursing job due to a patient/family member?

    JadedCPN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    No, I’ve never given a patient/family that much power or space in my

    Manager wants us back in office...

    JadedCPN replied to rn30's topic in General Nursing

    I read all the responses as this post happened and now just had to go back and reread the responses, and I’m genuinely still not understanding how you view any of the responses as bitter or

    Things I wish my patients understood

    JadedCPN replied to NightNerd's topic in General Nursing

    This is a big one too, especially with covid protocols in place! In my pediatric hospital, when covid started we still always allowed a parent/caregiver over 18 at the bedside, but only one, which...

    Things I wish my patients understood

    JadedCPN replied to NightNerd's topic in General Nursing

    I have to agree about the food complaints. I will never forget having to read a patient comment card about a decade ago that had a negative impact on our Press Ganey scores and the pt/family wrote a...

    when do you think hospitals will go back to not requiring masks?

    JadedCPN replied to J89Mike's topic in General Nursing

    Several hospitals in my area have relaxed their mask rules for vaccinated people so we only have to wear them in patient care areas. I’ve enjoyed the protection wearing a mask in an annoying...

    Longest Shift You've Worked

    Based on previous posts, I don’t believe for a second that you were REQUIRED to work 23 hours straight but rather chose to. Which has been address ad nauseam in multiple

    Scolded For Prioritizing Emergent Situations Over Routine Meetings

    JadedCPN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    This was my exact thought too. In inpatient world if my patient is having a medical emergency, as the assigned bedside nurse it is my responsibility and I wouldn't in a million years expect a...

    Am I being too picky on a job or is it just bad luck?

    JadedCPN replied to Aliceozwalker's topic in General Nursing

    With all due respect and not to burst your bubble, based on your description earlier in the thread I would not say you're actually in the running for a position that doesn't even currently exist...

    Do hiring managers ever re-interview candidates?

    JadedCPN replied to Aliceozwalker's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't hold my breath on this one; recruiters and managers are spread pretty thin especially since Covid. My experience has been that many employers have their online career portal where you can...
