    "Not sure what unit you will be hired into..."

    JadedCPN replied to TitaniumPlates's topic in General Nursing

    The nurse manager absolutely lied and pulled a bait and switch, which is wrong and I don't believe anyone who has replied is debating that. And as someone who has years of ICU experience, years of med...

    "Not sure what unit you will be hired into..."

    JadedCPN replied to TitaniumPlates's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, read the post. The very last line, the OP states "These positions are outright LIES and they want the highest qualified (3 yr ICU RN) for what....med

    "Not sure what unit you will be hired into..."

    JadedCPN replied to TitaniumPlates's topic in General Nursing

    Just want to point out, as a nurse who started their career years ago in ICU, that ICU is not the "highest qualified" position/nursing as you stated. You've had three people now, including myself,...

    Do you have a side hustle?

    JadedCPN replied to Mrsvirgomama's topic in General Nursing

    You're working under the assumption that strippers have less dignity. That hasn't been the case with many of the strippers that I've friended over the years. And my personal opinion as a very...

    Transferring positions prior to 1 year in first nursing job

    JadedCPN replied to 01.rn.10's topic in General Nursing

    My only word of advice is to have your company’s name removed from your posts. You’d be surprise to find out how small the nursing world is and how quickly things get

    New Grad BSN, RN, PHN, EMT and can’t find work. Legality of working as a CNA?

    JadedCPN replied to oceanhugger's topic in General Nursing

    I can't speak on the legality of working as a CNA in San Diego. I just wanted to say that if you truly are desperately in need of money to make ends meet, which is of course understandable, then I...

    Improving Nursing Practice

    JadedCPN replied to Raaa's topic in General Nursing

    Assuming you are applying for a Nurse Manager/Director position, it seems extremely important that you should be able to answer this basic question on your own and with your own idea. We could...

    Paid for Mandatory Online Learning from Home?

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

    Any mandatory training should be during paid time - most facilities I have worked at prefer that to be during your scheduled shifts if you have the time. I've worked at places that allow us to...

    Does my manager know when I'm applying to jobs?

    JadedCPN replied to Emm_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Do not be fooled into thinking you have any privacy within your organization. Your emails can be monitored. Even if your current manager doesn't get an instant notification through the system when you...

    Which social platform are nurses using most?

    JadedCPN replied to JanineKelbach's topic in General Nursing

    I swore off all social media platforms over 8 years ago and have never looked back. Sweet freedom. AllNurses is the only online community I belong

    New Grad and Rejected from First Choice Job Option

    JadedCPN replied to Joanne15's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Based on your post, it sounds like there wasn't a position open for you to be considered for and her to offer you. Just because night shift says they are short staffed and need nurses doesn't mean...

    pre op jitters

    JadedCPN replied to czap's topic in General Nursing

    I am not an OR or pre-op nurse. But I can guarantee there is a reason for this, caregivers don't want to just shave and tape a member for no reason. I still very much recommend you talk to someone...

    Any nurses that love nursing and love their job??

    JadedCPN replied to nets5010's topic in General Nursing

    13 years later of pediatric nursing, and I still absolutely love it. There are some days where I just don't feel like working both mentally and physically, but it has not much to do with the job...

    Student Not Eligible for NCLEX

    JadedCPN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Might also want to consider that if she can’t pass the HESI, there’s a chance she won’t pass the NCLEX anyway. Either way she needs to take accountability and do what she can on her end to...

    Switching specialties?

    JadedCPN replied to fit__nurse's topic in General Nursing

    This is the perfect description of hem-onc. And I echo what Wuzzie said that your personal growth from the exposure alone will be priceless. I didn't get exposed to the hem-onc population until I...

    Why we need unions...or to get out of medicine

    JadedCPN replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    In my 13+ years, I have never worked for/been a part of a union and it has been just fine. That being said, I have chosen to work at large, dedicated, ranked pediatric teaching hospitals across the...

    Going bowling with a former pediatric patient who's moved on to the adult world

    JadedCPN replied to oneinfour's topic in General Nursing

    I'm genuinely curious of your thought process of why becoming close personal friends outside of a group/hospital environment is less "weird" than organizing a quasi-work event to socialize with former...

    Is it wrong to leave a job during orientation?

    JadedCPN replied to Lovethenurse2b25's topic in General Nursing

    It definitely is best for both the employee or employer to cut ties as soon as possible so nobody's time or resources are wasted. I only think it is "wrong" when someone goes into a job knowing they...

    pre op jitters

    JadedCPN replied to czap's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. If this is truly the case and not just an exaggerated statement, my personal advice is to maybe see a therapist. Not sure if it’s anxiety or something else but if this one small incident has...

    How do you handle a patient who talks a lot?

    JadedCPN replied to Joanne15's topic in General Nursing

    If they are a known talker, I tell a coworker to call or come get me in 5-10 minutes if I haven’t came out. I also interrupt and say I’m so sorry I have to go give meds/check on xyz, I will come...

    Nurses secretive about getting another job

    JadedCPN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Did you directly ask Karen if she had this additional job and she lied? Otherwise, she’s not being secretive, you guys just must not be as friendly as you think. ETA: I’ve been on vaca the last...

    Women's Right to Choose

    JadedCPN replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    ANY. Period. Of course now as a fully developed human being who can breathe independently without being in a host body, I am extremely thankful she did not have an abortion. But, it was HER body, HER...
