    I am curious why those of you who said you were offended, were actually offended? I’m not seeing the offensiveness in the

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

    JadedCPN replied to skittlebear's topic in General Nursing

    You don't need to offer them anything except for your scheduled shifts to fulfill your employment requirements.

    Seniority and preferential scheduling

    JadedCPN replied to 1MoreCoffee's topic in General Nursing

    You made a statement without explaining the statement. It’s not about being “your problem” or not. I’m simply asking, to continue the conversation, for you to clarify what you mean by nurses...

    Seniority and preferential scheduling

    JadedCPN replied to 1MoreCoffee's topic in General Nursing

    Several of us seem to be confused by your posts/backtracking, so perhaps realize that you haven't done a good job of explaining things rather than just jumping to calling someone a liar. I would also...

    Seniority and preferential scheduling

    JadedCPN replied to 1MoreCoffee's topic in General Nursing

    You are making a lot of assumptions and yes, you come across as bitter already for some reason. Rewards for seniority versus rewards for performance are two very separate things that are treated, and...

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

    JadedCPN replied to skittlebear's topic in General Nursing

    As others have mentioned, no explanation is needed. Either don't answer at all, as you have no obligation to when you are off work, or answer and simply say no. I've made it clear to my job and the...

    JadedCPN replied to Amino's topic in General Nursing

    This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard of in all my years of pediatric nursing. This is a procedural hold, no restraint order is

    bring back diploma they can function on graduation

    JadedCPN replied to Susan Boff's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Oh yes I do! Sorry if it came across otherwise. My most memorable nurse mentors as a new grad we’re all diploma nurses and amazing. I was speaking more in general that regardless of degree I’m not...

    Do you scrub the hub of a PICC between each medication?

    JadedCPN replied to Kara Hoffman's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the information. I've only ever dealt with smaller PICCs in pediatrics where you have to heparin lock it between each use because they clot off so

    Do you scrub the hub of a PICC between each medication?

    JadedCPN replied to Kara Hoffman's topic in General Nursing

    I didn’t interpret it as the OP put the hub down, I assumed they meant reached for it. But that could be just an assumption on my part because it wouldn’t make sense to put the hub down. I’m...

    JadedCPN replied to Susan Boff's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    For what it is worth, I don't give a rat's a** as to whether a new grad nurse, of any degree background, can start an IV or not. You could teach any layperson how to do a task such as IV start or...

    Secondary PTSD spread the word PLEASE!!!

    JadedCPN replied to Messedup101's topic in General Nursing

    First, this post I'm quoting is the most coherent post you've made, although there is still a lot of confusion and misunderstanding. Second, the problem isn't that we don't understand the difference...

    Do you scrub the hub of a PICC between each medication?

    JadedCPN replied to Kara Hoffman's topic in General Nursing

    At my facility you are supposed to scrub the hub any time you are connecting something new into it, so yes you would have scrubbed it in between the saline flush and the heparin flush. Because of...

    Effect of 12 Hour Shifts on Patient Care and the Nurse: A Need for Change.

    JadedCPN replied to LindaGracie's topic in General Nursing

    12s work for some point and not for others, as 8s work for some and not for others - that is the beauty of it. The first facility I worked at gave you the option (while balancing staffing too, of...

    JadedCPN replied to Messedup101's topic in General Nursing

    I also respectfully believe some accountability needs to be taken on your behalf, based on what I can understand from your post. "I had severe 2 am panic attacks nightly, I stated to keep a bottle of...

    Multistate licensure confusion

    JadedCPN replied to cassie675's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Where you take your exam is irrelevant - you get a license for the state that you actually applied for. Back in the day I was a resident of Ohio but was able to test sooner if I took the NCLEX in...

    Suspended for touching a child's head and face

    JadedCPN replied to GG66's topic in Emergency

    You can’t blame a patient/family if they don’t want to be touched - that is their prerogative and we should respect those boundaries. And compassionate care doesn’t mean touching, especially if...

    Forgotten Morphine

    JadedCPN replied to p007's topic in Patient Medications

    This. Thankfully my very first job as a new grad in the PICU had a culture that was very strict about wasting and actually witnessing people waste, so it was ingrained in me. Almost every other place...

    Suspended for touching a child's head and face

    JadedCPN replied to GG66's topic in Emergency

    As a peds nurse as well, I agree. I have done the same type of therapeutic touch described by the OP many times, but not necessarily on a 9 year old, and not necessarily on the cheek as that is indeed...

    JUST CURIOUS! After completing a new graduate residency program, when can I request a transfer to a specialty unit?

    In that case, you may way to be more cognizant of how a statement like that may come across because it definitely comes across as arrogant, especially for a new
