    Are Nurses Superstitious?

    JadedCPN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    When I started as a new grad in PICU some 15 years ago there was one main rule - Never ever take the crash cart from outside of a fragile patient's room to put it back in its home spot. Having it...

    Interview Panel, riddle me this?

    JadedCPN replied to ORTech2RN's topic in General Nursing

    In my experience this is pretty common

    MRSA history?

    JadedCPN replied to soniaboo's topic in General Nursing

    No this will not prevent you from being hired. Good

    Nurse Jobs/Jobs I could do given my situation.

    JadedCPN replied to Mikeya's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Bedside nursing (or any patient-facing job) will always have an infectious disease risk component by nature, but IMHO you have a far less chance of infection wearing your PPE on a known infected...

    BSN - no experience and lots of children

    JadedCPN replied to kat1822's topic in General Nursing

    Not everyone who doesn’t have/doesn’t want kids are missing

    Giving pain meds to SCD during warmed fluid infusion

    JadedCPN replied to Sammieee's topic in Patient Medications

    Your best option is going to be looking at your facility/unit’s policy and procedures to determine what is the appropriate and expected

    Should I give a two weeks' notice?

    JadedCPN replied to neuron's topic in General Nursing

    How exactly were they being abusive? I only ask because if they were being truly abusive, whether it mentally or physically obviously, then yes I probably would quit without notice. But if they were...

    Should I give a two weeks' notice?

    JadedCPN replied to neuron's topic in General Nursing

    I can not agree with this enough. Nursing really is such a small world, I never recommend burning a bridge like that by quitting without notice unless it is absolutely

    No Narcs?

    JadedCPN replied to MTRNlove's topic in General Specialties

    Yes to what everyone has said so far. Also I think it depends on why you’re avoiding working with narcs - is it a personal preference or a restriction? I ask because if you have an actual...

    Applying to hospital after 2 years in public

    JadedCPN replied to hapham3693's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on so many things including the shortage (or lack thereof) in your area right now. But it never hurts to try so I say go for it! Make sure to put a lot of skill descriptions in your resume...

    HIPAA violation?

    JadedCPN replied to BSN-to-MSN's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Because it is an assigned duty, you have a right to be in the chart so therefore it is not a HIPAA

    Breakroom Pet Peeves

    JadedCPN replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Yes especially to #2 and #3! #2 is just plain rude, I get if you were alone and then someone walked in but once another person walks into the break room, switch it to headphones or turn it off. Same...

    Between a rock and a hard place (or Sedated patient deemed me uncompassionate)

    JadedCPN replied to Ioreth's topic in General Nursing

    Once again, the previous posters have offered some excellent insight which I completely agree with. And the fact that it was only 2 hours between when the patient rated their pain a 3/10 and when you...

    JadedCPN replied to futurenurse2025's topic in General Nursing

    Yes to what the previous two posters said. I also think if you’re already trying to find loopholes to work the system and you haven’t even started school, you should really think hard about...

    Gross Me Out ? Contest | Nurses Week

    JadedCPN replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    Short and easy gross story that has haunted me for over 10 years: I was taking care of a 10 year old post T&A patient. He had just chugged some chocolate milk (first mistake) right before I...

    Husband Died—Looking For Low Stress Job Recommendations

    JadedCPN replied to Midlife452's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone has offered great advice. I just wanted to extend my condolences to you as well, I’m so very sorry you’re having to go through this

    JadedCPN replied to futurenurse2025's topic in General Nursing

    You’ve received some great advice so far. To my (limited) knowledge, I’ve never heard of a healthcare facility that allows marijuana use for employees even if it is medically approved and...

    Received Letter In Mail About Hospital Lawsuit At Old Job

    JadedCPN replied to dreamshake18's topic in General Nursing

    Yes to what everyone has said so far. Contact your own malpractice insurance/own attorney before doing anything. I just want to add that it’s perfectly OK if you do have to speak with the attorney...

    Patient filed a sexual harassment complaint. HR wants to talk to me

    JadedCPN replied to The0Walrus's topic in General Nursing

    I am simply stating that if he isn't assigned to work with that patient anymore (which for his own sake I hope he isn't), even if he isn't working that day, he does not have legal access to her...

    Patient filed a sexual harassment complaint. HR wants to talk to me

    JadedCPN replied to The0Walrus's topic in General Nursing

    Per HIPAA if he doesn't have a reason related to patient care that day to be "perusing her notes" then no, he legally can't do that. It is an unfortunate situation for sure, but if this facility...

    Patient filed a sexual harassment complaint. HR wants to talk to me

    JadedCPN replied to The0Walrus's topic in General Nursing

    Your original comment didn’t mention legality, you said “except If you still are working there and have access to her files, you need to check if she has a history of previous sexual...

    Hernia Repair Patient Dignity

    JadedCPN replied to Catfostermom's topic in General Nursing

    Nobody has argued that better communication could have been used; it absolutely should have been explained each time he was checked. But your repetition of this statement, in conjunction with your...

    Patient filed a sexual harassment complaint. HR wants to talk to me

    JadedCPN replied to The0Walrus's topic in General Nursing

    I definitely second this. If he isn’t taking care of the patient that day, he has no reason to be in her chart and if this goes beyond a routine internal investigation then I can guarantee they’ll...

    Hernia Repair Patient Dignity

    JadedCPN replied to Catfostermom's topic in General Nursing

    Can you elaborate on how the nurses are the ones that prevented you from being with him, as opposed to it being the policy of the facility due to (as you said earlier)
