    Help w/job decision?

    JadedCPN replied to ivyleaf's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with staying at your current job. Also I would not base a decision/bank on yearly cost of living raises - these are guaranteed, until they are

    Need Advice on Accused Medication Error

    JadedCPN replied to Shannon Dull Dunlevy's topic in General Students

    Just a reminder that this is not accurate. You are not working under another's license. Only the person that the license is licensed to is legally working under their own

    Considering ICU.... among several other options

    JadedCPN replied to Name9335's topic in General Nursing

    Essentially you were fired from ALL jobs for issues surrounding incompetency, and that forced resignation (also referred to as resignation in lieu of termination) versus termination is just a matter...

    New job and asking for time off

    JadedCPN replied to direw0lf's topic in General Nursing

    For people suggesting to call out - just fair warning, I have worked in places where you are "punished" for calling out on a date you specifically asked for PTO/requested off. I've always told them...

    Two Jobs: Full-time night, Part-time day

    JadedCPN replied to ADNRN2016's topic in General Nursing

    I'm curious as to why you would go about it this way? I understand you have debt of course, but this just isn't the most logical approach. Find a full time job, regardless of shift, that has overtime...

    Depressed and Suicidal at work

    JadedCPN replied to Coffee Cray's topic in Health, Stress Management

    First of all, seek immediate psychiatric help if you are actively suicidal, which it sounds like you are. One option is the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, available 24 hours a day, at...

    Largest ICU's in NY/NJ?

    JadedCPN replied to The0Walrus's topic in General Nursing

    A good Google search will easily get your answer for you. This is a very broad question though, are you looking for MICU, SICU, CVICU, PICU,

    Adult Oncology to Pediatrics

    JadedCPN replied to jellybean570's topic in Pediatric

    I was really confused by the first part of your statement at first! But I come from always working in pediatric hospitals, where I see central lines, chest tubes, JP drains, foleys, epidurals, etc....

    RN training newly hired nurse.

    JadedCPN replied to Olga's topic in General Nursing

    This is not accurate. The only person who practices under your nursing license, is you. Even if you have a student, you are expected to provide/oversee the care for the patient and are responsible for...

    Immunocompromised Loved One

    JadedCPN replied to lillianbenders's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with this completely. I'm surprised your fellow students aren't more irked by your unnecessary accommodations, and even more surprised that your instructors have accommodated them. This will...

    Depressed and Frustrated

    JadedCPN replied to mollynurse's topic in General Nursing

    Have you only been applying to hospital jobs? If so, expand your net. Apply to nursing homes, LTC, anywhere and everywhere outside of a hospital. It might not be your "dream" position but it is better...

    50% days 50% nights- making it work.

    JadedCPN replied to jessicanurse247's topic in General Nursing

    I rotated 3pm-11pm and 11pm-7am for my very first job as a new grad who didn't know any better. It was miserable no matter how I split it up. I actually thought it was the night shift aspect that was...

    50% days 50% nights- making it work.

    JadedCPN replied to jessicanurse247's topic in General Nursing

    I hate to say it but rotating shifts like this is absolutely horrible on your body, especially if you are a day shift person. It is miserable and your body will likely hate you. The best bet you can...

    Certified Medical Spanish Interpreter transitioning to RN

    JadedCPN replied to Gabriel J's topic in General Students

    At many facilities, you have to pass a medical Spanish test regardless of your role in order to be qualified to officially have that Hablo Espanol on your badge. Even for people whose first language...

    what are our rights re: being filmed/recorded at work?

    JadedCPN replied to ceccia's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on what state you live in and what your facility policy is. Thankfully, my current hospital makes it very clear with posters all over the place including inside rooms that it is NOT okay to...

    How to "calm" down autistic pediatric patient?

    JadedCPN replied to carti's topic in General Nursing

    YOU are supposed to be what keeps her distracted. She shouldn't have to stay in bed just so she doesn't make a mess, just like a "regular" 2 year old isn't kept in bed the entire day simply so they...

    How to "calm" down autistic pediatric patient?

    JadedCPN replied to carti's topic in General Nursing

    THIS. I am glad I wasn't the only one who had this thought. There were several other concerning statements in the OPs post, including "I feel like the only time I have to myself to "relax" is when she...

    Work asking all the time if I can work extra At work and home

    JadedCPN replied to skittlebear's topic in General Nursing

    I respectfully disagree, I don’t even think you have to offer the excuse of having plans. There have been plenty times where I had no plans at all but just did not want to work, and have no shame in...

    Unfair Tests?

    JadedCPN replied to EverConfused's topic in General Students

    Regardless of whether it is "fair" or not, it is definitely not something reportable to "some agency" - you wouldn't have a leg to stand on and even if you did, you wouldn't be doing yourelf any...

    JadedCPN replied to Sweetb90's topic in General Students

    All of the advice you've been offered has been great, but I especially like this idea. It not only shows that you understand where you went wrong but also can use it as a learning opportunity for your...

    There are a lot of variables that go in to this. Around how much are you willing to pay for rent? The closest locations are going to be apartments within the inner loop, especially inside Texas...

    JadedCPN replied to futurenurse93_'s topic in General Nursing

    I get emails from the board and various professional nursing associations that I am apart of about adult nursing issues - I’m not an adult nurse, but the emails don’t offend me. Your logic still...
