    Unfair Clinical Evaluations

    JadedCPN replied to guest723's topic in General Students

    I think that may be part of your problem - a lack of understanding of your role and expectations as a student. It is not your place as a student to intervene at all, unless it is essentially delegated...

    Legal obligation for disaster relief

    JadedCPN replied to kardz30's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Ehhh I'm torn. My "ethics" during a hurricane make me want to evacuate to safety to protect myself and those I love. That doesn't make me unethical. However, my pockets make it perfectly compatible...

    Legal obligation for disaster relief

    JadedCPN replied to kardz30's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm not aware of a specific state law, unless a facility wanted to go the "patient abandonment" route that is often threatened. That being said, in Houston each facility has two different emergency...

    Experienced RN Getting Interviews But No Offers

    JadedCPN replied to Sosckia's topic in General Nursing

    I completely agree with what Pixie said. Many times when someone has experience (albeit yours is not in the specialty you are applying to which could also be cause for the rejections) and are getting...

    What city do you work in and how much do you get paid hourly?

    JadedCPN replied to Mortaaaay's topic in General Nursing

    $41/hr base, $7/hr float nurse differential, $4/hr night diff, $1/hr weekend diff (which is a joke). I'm in TX, pediatrics, 13 years

    Sick Days?

    JadedCPN replied to newbienurse97's topic in General Nursing

    Realistically, yes everyone including coworkers and management have likely noticed this and it could make a negative impact if you continue with this pattern, if it hasn't already. Whether that is...

    Fishy, illegitimate contract..?

    JadedCPN replied to tinybbynurse's topic in General Nursing

    The “fines” would have been enough of a red flag for me to walk away, but then to say you are going to protect “secrets” from the “law”? Nope. No clue what possessed you to sign this, even...

    Salary Offer

    JadedCPN replied to MilitaryNurse78's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, that is about right for the Midwest just based on when I last worked in the Midwest about 4 years

    Is this interview process unprofessional?

    JadedCPN replied to raindrop's topic in Nursing Career

    It has been different with each facility I have worked at. The only official qualification was that the peer is obviously a member of that unit - they could be RN, PCA, HUC since the interviewee would...

    Is this interview process unprofessional?

    JadedCPN replied to raindrop's topic in Nursing Career

    Regardless, they are qualified to conduct a peer interview on their home unit. At least in my personal experience, we went out of our way to have a variety of experience-levels conducting the peer...

    Where are you located? In some parts of the US, that might be fair. In Texas, for example, that would not be anywhere close to

    Should I Stay or Should I Go?

    JadedCPN replied to kmbrn91's topic in General Nursing

    My main advice to you is probably to not mention your workplace by name...the internet, even these forums, aren't as annonymous as you would

    Per Diem Notice

    JadedCPN replied to Dominicananyy's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that it completely depends on your unit and hospital. For instance in my current position, they don't even allow per diem so that wouldn't be an option for

    The Top 5 Financial Scams Targeting Senior Adults

    JadedCPN replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    Pardon my ignorance as I've never worked with adults and especially not geriatrics in my entire career, but is this really something that falls onto nursing these days? Like in addition to the million...

    Useless Shift Report Information

    JadedCPN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    This is definitely my biggest pet peeve, and could be a safety issue because if you're diluting all of the pertinent patient information with random things that are irrelevant, it is more likely going...

    JadedCPN replied to Amanda J's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    There are no "right reasons" to be in nursing, or any job for that matter. If you want to be a nurse because you get a stable paycheck and job security, go for it. It sounds like you really need to...

    This is why I will never regret deleting all forms of social media about a decade ago. Not that the nurse was wrong, just that if I don’t have Facebook then I can’t get myself in trouble for...
