    Nasal cannulas behind the head

    JadedCPN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    You didn't lose your mind. Babies and toddlers for sure get behind the head. But also they're often secured to the face/cheeks with tape and/or a securement

    Texas student nurses/new grads

    JadedCPN replied to ruby_jane's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Just based on my experience in Houston, as well as what I've heard from friends in Austin and Dallas, I completely disagree with this. Many of us are losing hours at our jobs due to low census. But...

    HATE bedside nursing

    JadedCPN replied to Clueless in CA's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry you're feeling this way but you are definitely not alone. My only advice to you is to do much, much more research in deciding your next step than you did when you thought switching from CNA to...

    Dilute Negative Drug Test

    JadedCPN replied to Alyssa's topic in General Nursing

    I think I've shared this story before. One time in my career have I not received a job due to a drug test. I have never taken an illegal, non-prescribed drug in my entire life. I drank too much water...

    Sainthood for going to NYC

    JadedCPN replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm sorry, what?! Never in any travel contract history of ever have I heard of this, crazy for that nurse to ask for

    DCFS opinions?

    JadedCPN replied to Rasberry_RN_'s topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely agree that their work load doesn't have any impact on the responsibilities of a mandated reporter. And in all fairness, a nurse never knows what else might be going on in a child's home or...

    DCFS opinions?

    JadedCPN replied to Rasberry_RN_'s topic in General Nursing

    Assuming you’re in a state where it is legal - if the kid had ingested, for example, their parent’s lisinopril instead, would you have reported it? Or was it the fact that it was an edible? I’m...

    Friends

    Carrier Concern

    JadedCPN replied to MisMatch's topic in Disaster Preparation

    For what it is worth, it is likely that almost all of the employees taking care of those elderly people are also asymptomatic carriers. I think it's completely reasonable to pursue another position...

    Nurse Residency Program or Jumpstart Critical Care??

    JadedCPN replied to Nurseynurse004's topic in General Nursing

    All things considered, I would go for the residency. I would also suggest you change your username to something more anonymous - you said you "wouldn’t want to work at the smaller regional hospital...

    Crisis travel assignments for Covid-19?

    JadedCPN replied to JDougRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My sincere apologies for confusing you with the person I quoted a couple weeks back. And yes absolutely my comment is focused on their judgment since they splayed it all over the post. I still stand...

    Crisis travel assignments for Covid-19?

    JadedCPN replied to JDougRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My comment was very much focused on the topic at hand and wasn't personal at all. My comment however was not directed at just your "WOW!" but rather every single post you've made on this thread which...

    Is it wrong to turn down a shift?

    JadedCPN replied to Lovethenurse2b25's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I just had to go back and reread all of the posts...unless I missed it, I didn't see a single person advocate for prioritizing the job over OP's family? I'm not sure how you came to that

    Famous person as patient?

    JadedCPN replied to MarkMyWords's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, THAT is amazing!! I didn't even catch it

    Will it be hard for me to get a Girlfriend during this Pandemic since I am dealing with sick people?

    JadedCPN replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in Disaster Preparation

    HIPAA has nothing to do with telling people you're taking care of COVID-19 positive

    Are Big City Hospitals Really Getting Hit With COVID-19 Pts?

    JadedCPN replied to EPS's topic in Disaster Preparation

    For what it is worth, my "rant" was directed entirely towards your wife and the likes of her, not at you at all. I can't speak for others. And it wasn't a mistake to post - go ahead and show her how...

    Nursing for Intimate care for men

    JadedCPN replied to RNMikeMiller's topic in General Nursing

    I just can’t. For the second time today, I wish I could come up with a more intellectual response to this nonsense but I just truly

    HUSBAND/WIFE TEAM CVOR

    The real question is, why does it matter? I assume the dynamic is causing issues among other

    Are Big City Hospitals Really Getting Hit With COVID-19 Pts?

    JadedCPN replied to EPS's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You're getting "rants" because many people are offended by such an ignorant idea in the first place that is being perpetuated by your wife and people like her. Likely those are also the same people...

    Are Big City Hospitals Really Getting Hit With COVID-19 Pts?

    JadedCPN replied to EPS's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The level of ignorance in this world just baffles my mind when I hear stuff like this, no offense to you but all offense to your wife and the others thinking like her. How self-centered or...

    Famous person as patient?

    JadedCPN replied to MarkMyWords's topic in General Nursing

    ^THIS. The way employers act over celebrities, or even just "VIP" people who might know someone in executive management absolutely disgusts

    Will it be hard for me to get a Girlfriend during this Pandemic since I am dealing with sick people?

    JadedCPN replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The good thing is right now you shouldn't really be searching for a relationship anyway since most places have stay at home type of orders in place, plus the whole social distancing thing. When all is...

    Abandonment

    JadedCPN replied to Nurseynurse1418's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure what the point of your post is? I didn’t say most places in general, I said specifically most places that I have personally worked

    Why are some RNs rarely busy, while others are always busy

    JadedCPN replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Same. Which works out in my favor when I actually do look busy because my coworkers know that means I’m really drowning. But otherwise I always make sure everyone around me doesn’t need help with...
