    I hate fake call outs.

    JadedCPN replied to KonichiwaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh wow! Well now that’s not something people call in for

    I hate fake call outs.

    JadedCPN replied to KonichiwaRN's topic in General Nursing

    At my facility, PTO and "sick" call outs all get lumped together into the same time bank. One occurrence counts as either as calling off for one shift, or calling off for three consecutive shifts in a...

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

    JadedCPN replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nursing News

    I don't completely agree with your entire post, but this right here is so on point. I am a Caucasian woman married to an African American male. I can't count the number of times where I have...

    What's your favorite nursing task?

    JadedCPN replied to beekindRN's topic in General Nursing

    Starting IVs on the most difficult pediatric/neonatal patients, being that nurse that gets called to other floors when I'm working because they know I am a very good

    Does ANYONE like the hospital?

    JadedCPN replied to RatherBHiking's topic in General Nursing

    I do! I've been a bedside nurse at hospitals for my 13 years, all pediatrics. I've worked several different types of units but have been float pool for the last 4 years and can't foresee myself going...

    Does anyone here actually like nursing?

    JadedCPN replied to Sumdaymurse's topic in General Nursing

    I still love what I do. I work pediatrics so our ratios are amazing compared to adult world and that helps a lot. Just like any other job, it’s work so there are days I wish I didn’t have to...

    I hate fake call outs.

    JadedCPN replied to KonichiwaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think that’s extremely petty, time consuming, energy draining, and at the end of the day it’s not your responsibility or possibly even your business - as others have mentioned in this thread,...

    Nursing student and overhead costs

    JadedCPN replied to pi.student's topic in General Students

    Depending on what your school schedule will be like, finding a weekend job may be your best bet without interupting your studies if you're worried about that. Otherwise many people, especially...

    Cry me a river...?

    JadedCPN replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I think it entirely depends on the situation. As a peds nurse who frequently works the oncology floor where there are more rough days and news being handed to families than there are good ones, it...

    Favorite Motivational Quote Nurses Week Contest

    JadedCPN replied to Brian S.'s topic in General Nursing

    “To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.” The original quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson is longer than that, but that part in particular I apply to...

    Share Your Favorite Nurse Nurses Week Contest

    JadedCPN replied to Brian S.'s topic in General Nursing

    Carla Espinosa from Scrubs is definitely my favorite. In real life, the actress’ sister was a nurse so she used her for a lot of insider information. She was caring to her patients, gave tough love...

    Patients Say the Darnedest Things Nurses Week Contest

    My 10 year old patient said “do you make a lot of money being nurse? If I had to guess I would say you made, hmm, at least a whole $10 an

    Switching floors

    JadedCPN replied to nurseontheway's topic in General Nursing

    My advice will just be do not judge your day coworkers based on things you have heard rather than your own experiences. You'll set yourself up for failure if you do that and it isn't fair to them...

    Considering return to hospital / bedside

    JadedCPN replied to nurse2592's topic in General Nursing

    My thought is if you aren't going to be clinical when you finish your degree in a year and you're just bored, I would find a hobby rather than go back to the bedside. Another option would be a PRN...

    Flushing tubing after IV ATB administration

    JadedCPN replied to dexilna's topic in General Nursing

    I respectfully disagree with this. The tubing we use at my facility needs 28mL to prime/flush. Especially in pediatric world, 28mL of antibiotic is a significant amount of the prescribed dose that the...

    Looking up patients on Facebook

    JadedCPN replied to falconersys's topic in General Nursing

    Amen to that. Unfortunately have came across that too many times in my careers I have worked for hospitals that put full first and last name on our badges, and have worked for hospitals that only did...

    So Frustrated I want to quit nursing altogether

    JadedCPN replied to deej394's topic in General Nursing

    As a float nurse myself, I could have wrote this post as well. To me though that is one of the amazing benefits of float pool. When I was on a "home floor," this type of political drama crap would...

    Looking up patients on Facebook

    JadedCPN replied to falconersys's topic in General Nursing

    While it is likely not a HIPAA violation, I do believe it is a privacy violation and there are ethical dilemmas as well. I loathe everything related to social media and I think it is a very poor idea...

    Falls

    JadedCPN replied to Marija1's topic in General Nursing

    Correct. It appears they are answering your original question, that yes the facility can use that to justifiably terminate you since you broke protocol. They didn’t say that you should have been...

    Falls

    JadedCPN replied to Marija1's topic in General Nursing

    I would have to go back through all the posts and reread them all, but I don’t believe any of the posters who “insulted and criticized” you, myself included, said we thought you should have been...

    First RN Job in Float Pool?

    JadedCPN replied to dbricson's topic in General Nursing

    I definitely wouldn't recommend it as a new grad with only 3 months orientation. I have seen one successful new grad float pool residency program in Cincinnati, but those new grads got an entire year...

    Falls

    JadedCPN replied to Marija1's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps we all got it wrong, but you were asking for opinions on the situation you presented to us. You specifically asked if we thought it was negligent, and you got several similar opinions on said...

    JadedCPN replied to Marija1's topic in General Nursing

    I did read the scenario. I do not think I am perfect. I've made plenty of errors in my career. And I've taken accountability for

    What is One of the Most Memorable Moments in Your Nursing Career?

    JadedCPN replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    After 13 years in inpatient pediatrics, there are many memorable memories, both good and bad. The main one that stands out and sticks with me all these years later - I started as a brand new grad in...
