    Wastefulness in healthcare

    JadedCPN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    At my current hospital, our scheduled medications are dispensed and delivered from pharmacy to the bedside drawer in the most wasteful way I have ever seen in my career. If a patient is ordered for...

    Women's Right to Choose

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

    I am truly speechless. Wow. I am intelligent enough to understand my IUD could fail. Not because of my socioeconomic status, not because of antibiotics, not because I forgot to do something, or that I...

    Women's Right to Choose

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

    Oh my goodness. Is this real life? Are you foreal? Contraceptives fail, both oral and condoms and even IUDs. It’s a small percentage, but it happens. Science backs this up. It is

    Women's Right to Choose

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

    Contrary to popular belief/statements, the government/tax payers do not pay for majority of abortions. My understand is that the Hyde Amendment (which was first implemented in 1977) actually FORBIDS...

    Women's Right to Choose

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

    In all fairness, we already do that now via capital punishment. That's a whole other discussion. You bring up a fair point regarding the question of when human life begins. Perhaps if I...

    Married woman here. Former birth control pill user, now IUD owner here. STILL would have an abortion if I got pregnant because despite using all the "responsible" suggestions that are being thrown out...

    Float Pool for New Grad?

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

    I have only seen ONE new grad residency specifically for float pool that lasted a full year, and that is the only one I would even consider giving a new grad the green light to go to. My friends who...

    JadedCPN replied to nursemike's topic in Nursing News

    “Well I can’t walk, so I’ll roll you through,” Runkel laughed. “Please air that!” ^THAT is amazing. Anyone who can have that type of humor and outlook on life after going through what she...

    Replacing Huber needle

    JadedCPN replied to TERN2016's topic in General Nursing

    Inpatient pediatrics here, we also change the needle weekly with a dressing change, unless they are specifically on a 10-day protocol. If we intend to immediately reaccess, we only saline lock them....

    Women's Right to Choose

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

    For what it is worth, this was for the most part a very civil and respectful disagreement amongst both sides until Scrunchkin78 came along. I really enjoyed reading other people’s respectful...

    Looking to move to a new state

    JadedCPN replied to babynursebri's topic in General Nursing

    I've moved cross country twice in the past 5 years. I second what Emergent said - it is easier to figure out what state you wish to go to and start the process. That way when you do apply you can at...

    Women's Right to Choose

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

    Part of the problem is that often times the argument is religious based, such as you mentioning "God-given right" and not all of us share the same beliefs. Nobody is wrong, but we need to respect each...

    Women's Right to Choose

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

    Of course everyone is allowed to have an opinion, and I respect yours even if I don’t agree with it. But your opinion (or anyone else’s) should not trump my opinion when the body in question is...

    Women's Right to Choose

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

    This. It is not about advocating for abortion, its about advocating for the right to choose what is done to my body. It is not that I want to get an abortion - in fact I know I would be emotionally...

    JadedCPN replied to meaa42's topic in General Nursing

    Houston is actually a very overly saturated city. I would definitely recommend having a professional trusted resource review your resume to see what improvements can be made to begin with. Have you...

    New Graduate, Only one interview, Should I Be Picky

    JadedCPN replied to Mrsvirgomama's topic in General Nursing

    I completely agree. Also, you can't be picky at all when you haven't even been offered a job for any of them, let alone only having actually interviewed at one. You may want to seek out a...

    Women's Right to Choose

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

    To me, this is not a human being. It is the beginning of the development of one, but it is not one at all and it's rights should not come before any other human's. But that's part of the principal...

    How much math is actually used in Nursing school and at the job site?

    JadedCPN replied to nay018's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ^This. It blows my mind how many new peds nurses these days don't do the calculations themselves and just rely on pharmacy/the doctor to be

    Quitting job after only 8 months

    JadedCPN replied to Alexxoxox's topic in General Nursing

    No offense intended, but like others have said you’re replaceable, they’ll be fine. Find out the policy for how much notice you need to give (usually 2 weeks but I have worked places that required...

    I hate fake call outs.

    JadedCPN replied to KonichiwaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Just curious if you have evidence that she doesn’t always have migraines when she calls out, or if you’re just assuming? I personally like the fact that if I call off for three shifts in a row it...

    Hardship: none of my business or a problem?

    JadedCPN replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    Your sense of entitlement is not going to do you any favors in this profession, at all. Neither is your lack of awareness of your own bias and judgement. Nobody gives a flying rat's tail if you live...

    Elizabeth Warren says doctors, nurses don't treat black women same way as other women

    JadedCPN replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nursing News

    Because “we” do. And when I say we, I mean healthcare as a whole and as a generalization. This isn’t a personal attack on you, so no need to take it like one. For what it is worth, I am not...
