    Float Pool Not A Right Fit

    JadedCPN replied to Apple_Gel's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Elaine. This is why float pool hires should have substantial experience. Similar to travel nurses, we are expected to hit the ground running with little orientation and the focus of...

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

    JadedCPN replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I would understand that concern more if it were coming from the recommendation of the hospital - I wouldn't trust them and would likely assume they were just being cheap. But overall I believe the CDC...

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

    JadedCPN replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in Disaster Preparation

    What basis would you have to refuse the patient if you are still technically following the CDC recommendations and guidelines? Potential fallout from your employer if you refuse could be termination....

    New Job, asking for a higher pay

    JadedCPN replied to SC3104's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the previous poster, that is definitely too high. Keep in mind that clinics/outpatient settings almost always pay less than the inpatient setting, often because there are additional...

    Abandonment

    JadedCPN replied to Nurseynurse1418's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with this. Assuming you were able to drive home, you should have been able to struggle your way through a brief report for the sake of patient safety. Granted, I think their reaction may be a...

    Nursing for Intimate care for men

    JadedCPN replied to RNMikeMiller's topic in General Nursing

    I wasn't the one who said that so not sure why you quoted me. Also interesting that you have directly ignored my direct question twice now. Go

    Can my job make me change departments?

    JadedCPN replied to Booboobear89's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It all depends on what your contract says specifically. Most facilities are smart enough to put a clause in there that allows for flexibility by stating "other duties are required" or something along...

    How will COVID-19 affect the hiring process?

    JadedCPN replied to Reds5588's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Of course we can't be sure of anything that will happen. But I am going to side with your husband on this one - hospitals want and need to be fully staffed at a time like this, and a pandemic isn't...

    Alarming conditions of a job offer letter

    JadedCPN replied to guest1107684's topic in General Nursing

    For what it is worth, this is just not accurate. Night shift is often with less resources, less ancillary staff, higher ratios, etc. and in my experience would likely prepare you for travel nursing...

    Nursing for Intimate care for men

    JadedCPN replied to RNMikeMiller's topic in General Nursing

    But the problem isn't (likely) because that particular employer won't hire a male, but rather nursing in general has so few males in proportion to female nurses. You are making it seem like people are...

    Nursing for Intimate care for men

    JadedCPN replied to RNMikeMiller's topic in General Nursing

    So how do you suggest those accommodations be made if there just isn't staff of the same sex available? ETA: I ask because I don't believe anyone is disagreeing that accommodations should be made...

    I quit

    JadedCPN replied to ADN_Is_Complete's topic in General Nursing

    I would definitely try if I were you. Your director couldn't fire you since you already resigned, so you've essentially got nothing to

    Long story short, yes you did break confidentiality. Learn from this and move

    Pregnant and possible CMV exposure

    JadedCPN replied to mhite226's topic in General Nursing

    None of us can give medical advice so when in doubt, mention it to your doctor. If anything you will get better peace of mind. But yes if you look at mode of transmission and CDC recommendations, I...

    Terminated the third week into my orientation

    JadedCPN replied to HippyHappyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Reminds me of one of my favorite quotes: “In life you will meet two kinds of people. Ones who build you up, and ones who tear you down. But in the end, you will thank them

    Pregnant and possible CMV exposure

    JadedCPN replied to mhite226's topic in General Nursing

    While I completely understand being overly cautious and concerned when pregnant, this is one of those quasi-myths that have continued on in healthcare. Per the CDC website, the CDC does not recommend...

    Opinions on how soon to float new nurses

    JadedCPN replied to Wright007's topic in General Nursing

    The normal I've seen in my years is new staff float in 3 months; if they're a new grad, they float in 6

    Terminated the third week into my orientation

    JadedCPN replied to HippyHappyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn’t completely listen to your family in the future. As another poster mentioned, this did nothing to positively increase the view of you and possibly negatively impacted things even more. I...

    Just out of curiosity, why did you want to record it? And I think most posters on here have agreed that cutting the badge was

    Terminated the third week into my orientation

    JadedCPN replied to HippyHappyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn’t say you’re never getting hired there, but we are talking years down the road so prepare yourself for that. I say that because IF they wanted to keep you around (aka wanted to make their...

    Need advise regarding uncomfortable, disrespectful situation

    JadedCPN replied to Maria Crocker's topic in Men in Nursing

    I’m sorry for your situation but now you’re being ridiculous and just not making sense. First, I believe you mean a sexist issue. And the only one who is making it a sexist issue is you. I’m...

    I just got hired in a plastic surgery clinic. Are these red flags?

    JadedCPN replied to Puppylover0213's topic in General Nursing

    Even if everything is perfectly legit, etc etc...you only have months of training as a new grad in a NICU. I don’t think all of the responsibilities that will be expected of you are that feasible...
