    What to do about DNP and flu shot?

    JadedCPN replied to Travelingon's topic in General Nursing

    Nothing is being forced upon you, or anyone. As with everything else in life there are always choices, and there are always consequences to all

    What Is One’s Opinion If You See A Man Wearing a Dansko Shoes?

    JadedCPN replied to Ben_Dover's topic in General Nursing

    I don't give a flying you-know-what about what anyone wears, especially not shoes. If nurses wanted to wear heels to work I wouldn't care as long as they can still do their job and run to help me in a...

    What to do about DNP and flu shot?

    JadedCPN replied to Travelingon's topic in General Nursing

    Nurse vs Respiratory

    JadedCPN replied to TheSixFootThree's topic in General Nursing

    This is the take home of it all. You both could have communicated better and handled the situation differently, but what is done is done. Going forward, it is your responsibility to make sure you are...

    Has anyone ever passed out during an emergency or have felt faint? How do you get over the feeling if it comes on?

    JadedCPN replied to Newbie32's topic in General Nursing

    Often times that feeling can come from the adrenaline rush your body is experiencing from being in an almost "fight or flight" type of situation. Hopefully this reaction will lessen the more and more...

    Gloves at all times?

    JadedCPN replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    I worked in a hospital once where the protocol on their Bone Marrow Transplant unit was to put on gloves from the wall and THEN use the hand sanitizer, on the gloves. True

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

    Self reflection is a wonderful thing. Not just because often times we find that we have some fault in all of it, but ultimately because we realize the only thing we can control is

    Managers: Remaining Objective with All Employees

    JadedCPN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I agree 100% with what JKL33 said. The positive thing that you have going for you is that you are aware of your own bias, but that doesn't take away from the fact that is it not okay so now you need...

    Gloves at all times?

    JadedCPN replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with some of the other posters. I don't automatically go into a room with gloves on unless it is warranted. I do wears gloves most of the times when I am giving PO meds in case I need to touch...

    CoWorker using a patient's medication

    JadedCPN replied to BlondieRN19's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I had to go back and reread the reponses to make sure I didn't miss something. Where did a responder accuse the OP of anything? I definitely agree with your last

    Treating an ex family member

    JadedCPN replied to nurse_lime's topic in General Nursing

    You are not being bullied. You are getting the opinions that you asked for when you posted on a public forum, and you don't like those opinions. For what it is worth, I am not judging you, I never...

    Patient's "right" to abuse nurses...I need your opinion

    JadedCPN replied to MsNewbee's topic in General Nursing

    This threat is over two years old so not sure if the OP will be checking back on it. I do want to chime in and say that not every state has Safe Harbor as an option, in fact I think Texas is one of...

    Treating an ex family member

    JadedCPN replied to nurse_lime's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe there's a better way of wording it than using the word victim to help you understand. You are not the one who is innocent in this scenario and she did something wrong/malicious. YOU are the one...

    Treating an ex family member

    JadedCPN replied to nurse_lime's topic in General Nursing

    With all due respect, it is hard to say your heart was 100% "in the right place" when you also admit that one of the reasons you called her in was because you were being nosey, essentially. I would...

    CoWorker using a patient's medication

    JadedCPN replied to BlondieRN19's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    By definition, it is diversion - the medication does not need to be an opioid/controlled substance in order for it to be diversion, but most people get in trouble for diverting opioids or controlled...

    I need guidance

    JadedCPN replied to vanilla_brownie's topic in General Nursing

    I'd advise you to look back and remember why you chose to leave accounting for nursing, and then try to find a nursing job that helps fulfill that desire. As they say, the grass isn't always greener,...

    Using prn staff instead of posting day position

    JadedCPN replied to Lifeofanicunurse's topic in General Nursing

    Your anger is misplaced at the contingent nurses - they aren't abusing the system, they are working with what they're given. It is okay because your management has said it is ok - that is where your...

    Add short work experience from orientation or not

    JadedCPN replied to Didizain's topic in General Nursing

    You'll get a lot of mixed responses on this question. At the end of the day, you run the risk of being terminated if you lie about your work history and they find out in some how; nursing is a small...
