    Would you "adopt" a nurse or allow yourself to be "adopted" (For Nurses' Week)?

    JadedCPN replied to Sour Lemon's topic in General Nursing

    No, I don’t think it is wrong. Even though I posted that I’m not comfortable accepting the free stuff since I’m not experiencing the worst of covid, and the whole hero thing being shoved down...

    Openly criticizing a fellow nurse.

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

    This thought process/algorithm is great to use in life in general. When I am in a foul mood related to work, which truthfully doesn't happen often as it takes a lot to push me to that point, I wear my...

    50% of fatalities in nursing homes in some States

    JadedCPN replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Of course not, and I don't think the general consensus of any of the posters was saying to put yourself in a toxic situation like this just because you feel obligated. Thankfully I think your...

    Question about uniforms

    JadedCPN replied to MarkMyWords's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I put my scrubs on at home and I take them off at home. I don't do any of that stripping in the garage, wiping my shoes down and throwing everything in the wash before I step foot in the house that I...

    Fear and Anxiety

    JadedCPN replied to spark plug's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Of course we'll be fine. But that doesn't mean that certain precautions shouldn't be taken to help get us to that point of "fine," nor does it mean that being concerned as a society makes us...

    Fear and Anxiety

    JadedCPN replied to spark plug's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm not arguing for or against her at all, but you pointed out her age as if that made a difference and it doesn't - she's a grown woman, not a

    Wait the doctor installed the cameras?! Oh no. No.

    Is NPO really NPO??

    JadedCPN replied to LH366's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with above comments. In general, if the med specifies "NPO except meds," they can have sips of water ONLY with their meds. Most of us wouldn't be able to swallow pills without having a sip of...

    Do nurses really remember everything they learn in nursing school?

    JadedCPN replied to StudentNurseMNUS's topic in General Nursing

    Nope definitely don't. But 14 years as an RN and even just this month I found myself experiencing a new scenario and having a vague memory of it from nursing

    Would you "adopt" a nurse or allow yourself to be "adopted" (For Nurses' Week)?

    JadedCPN replied to Sour Lemon's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not even comfortable partaking in all of the free giveaways they're doing for the "hero" nurses on the frontline. Mostly because my area has not been hit hard at all, I work pediatrics, and our...

    Fear and Anxiety

    JadedCPN replied to spark plug's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This type of mind frame is what I hate about living in Texas in general. She's 29 and her age is irrelevant. And this isn't about catering to hypochondriacs, so no need to

    NGT policies about days until removal for Neonates

    JadedCPN replied to deweydecimal13501's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    In general in my pediatric experience, NGT are good for 30 days and then need to be changed due to tube integrity and also to rotate nare to prevent skin breakdown. However I have only dabbled in...

    Texas student nurses/new grads

    JadedCPN replied to ruby_jane's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Absolutely! I didn’t mean to distract from Safe Harbor. I moved to Texas after being a nurse for 11 years and it was the first time ever I heard about Safe Harbor. I wish every state had

    Question about prescriptions

    JadedCPN replied to MarkMyWords's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. And that’s actually extremely common and I feel reasonable for the procedural doctor to ask

    Question about prescriptions

    JadedCPN replied to MarkMyWords's topic in General Nursing

    So the issue isn’t that the procedural doctor will not prescribe you meds, it’s that they won’t prescribe them if you plan on

    Will working with masks become permanent?

    JadedCPN replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Agreed, and that's what I had in mind when I stated it would possibly become "the culture." Prior to all of this, it was always the culture of the EDs only to always wear masks, but I never saw it on...

    Should I get accepted to a CRNA program?

    JadedCPN replied to MEDRN89's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I don't think you're doing yourself any favors if you plan on saying it like that! But I absolutely think you should (humbly) capitalize on how the experience you do have would be an asset. Maybe you...
