    How can you be so calm?

    JadedCPN replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Agreed. I need this in shirt form without the censoring. Love

    Refusing Care of a COVID-19 Patient Due to Inappropriate PPE

    JadedCPN replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Not everyone feels the same way you do and that is okay. Not everyone believes that nursing is a calling or that they are Healers and that is okay. People can believe it to be a job and still be...

    Crisis travel assignments for Covid-19?

    Planning to move to Texas

    JadedCPN replied to justleishla's topic in General Nursing

    If I remember properly (it’s been some years) it doesn’t matter where you physically take the test, but rather what state you mark down on your application. I took the test in Kentucky because...

    Crisis travel assignments for Covid-19?

    JadedCPN replied to JDougRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    One could argue that your blatant judgmental disgust should be directed at the hospital executives and powers that be, rather than the nurses trying to help themselves make a living while also helping...

    Refusing an assignment 1 day in advance

    JadedCPN replied to Decisions7's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Chare that if you essentially pre-meditate refusing an assignment, you likely will be fired and blacklisted by your current employer. In terms of having any impact on your license, that's...

    Nursing for Intimate care for men

    JadedCPN replied to RNMikeMiller's topic in General Nursing

    I was with you in agreement up until the bolded statement. That's being too dramatic and theatrical; nobody expects men to not speak up if they aren't comfortable with a female caregiver, and...

    Crisis travel assignments for Covid-19?

    JadedCPN replied to JDougRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I wholeheartedly disagree. The nurses who are taking these assignments had nothing to do/didn't cause the pandemic so they can't be to blame. Everyone is working for a paycheck, period, and if they...

    Canada’s preparedness compared to USA

    JadedCPN replied to meganvl's topic in Disaster Preparation

    What kind of nurse would we be if we walked out rather than not have the necessary PPE to protect us against a COVID-positive patient? The kind that values their own life and understands that we can't...

    RN Disciplined While Waiting On Covid 19 Result

    JadedCPN replied to INDY RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It means everything...if they didn’t do anything technically illegal, then all an attorney would do is tell you they didn’t do anything illegal so there isn’t anything they can do, thus they...

    Suicidal thoughts every week before first shift

    JadedCPN replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    We are not allowed to get medical advice per the terms of service. However, I urge you strongly to get immediate and emergent help in this situation. You need the help of a professional to first keep...

    Can the Government force us back to work?

    Overcharting as new grad?

    JadedCPN replied to baby.icu.nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Sour Lemon. I am a fan of box checking and charting by exception for many reasons, mostly because if done properly then it de-clutters all the unnecessarily progress notes so that only...

    Boyfriend wants me to stay away

    JadedCPN replied to LauRN3367's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I would like to hear why you believe he is being irrational, as opposed to just being cautious/holding a difference of opinion? That’s not how science works,

    Boyfriend wants me to stay away

    JadedCPN replied to LauRN3367's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I’ve asked/suggested before on this thread but have been ignored...have you and him had a direct blunt honest conversation about this? If not, that’s probably what is needed. That way he knows how...

    Abandonment

    JadedCPN replied to Nurseynurse1418's topic in General Nursing

    Most places I’ve worked at give you a 24 hour timeframe to complete an admission assessment. I would much rather actually get report on a critical patient drips running rather than have their...

    Boyfriend wants me to stay away

    JadedCPN replied to LauRN3367's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Does he know it’s an incredibly difficult time for you? Have you directly communicated this to him and what you want and need during this time? Only you can answer

    Pregnant new grad

    JadedCPN replied to emilyrose114's topic in General Nursing

    A new grad float position is extremely iffy. A new grad ICU position is extremely iffy. A new grad ICU float position?!

    Boyfriend wants me to stay away

    JadedCPN replied to LauRN3367's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That’s not how this works unfortunately. You can’t dictate who is and isn’t on “your” thread. You can choose to ignore it, or maybe do some self reflection and see if there’s anything you...

    COVID-19, Nursing shortage, and Nursing Students

    JadedCPN replied to Reggie445's topic in Disaster Preparation

    One could argue that there aren’t resources to train these student nurses if they were graduated early, including lack of staff, lack of time/attention from said staff due to the current...

    Boyfriend wants me to stay away

    JadedCPN replied to LauRN3367's topic in Disaster Preparation

    He doesn’t have to touch it to contaminate it, which I believe was GrumpyRN’s point. I think you and your boyfriend need to have a conversation about expectations and needs, because it sounds...

    What happens if you quit?

    JadedCPN replied to ghillbert's topic in Disaster Preparation

    There is nothing preventing you from quitting at this time, assuming you aren’t abandoning patients in the middle of the shift. If you are quitting, however, simply to avoid possible patients with...

    Medical leave ending but no job yet. Accept another?

    JadedCPN replied to namaste111's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately it’s a very hard lesson to learn that most employers ultimately only look out for themselves. I am so sorry for your loss and everything you are going through - you will pull through...
