    Falls

    JadedCPN replied to Marija1's topic in General Nursing

    You can go back and "dislike" my comment all you want because you are being sensitive, but that doesn't change the facts of this scenario. You need to take accountability for yourself and do not blame...

    Falls

    JadedCPN replied to Marija1's topic in General Nursing

    What's missing here is that you are a nurse, and you think it is okay to use the excuse that the facility didn't train you to do a proper neuro assessment when a proper neuro assessment is taught in...

    Nurse Practitioner (Mother) leaves 21 month old in car for 8 hours

    JadedCPN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    According to this article, that makes you a "hater." I have issue with this article suggesting that if people don't give mom complete sympathy and understanding, then they automatically get labeled as...

    Latest on RaDonda Vaught case

    JadedCPN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    We are trained, education, professionals. We are not lay people. This should not have to happen at all. If a registered nurse doesn't equate paralytic to no breathing then without a doubt in my mind...

    Latest on RaDonda Vaught case

    JadedCPN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    She should have never had paralyzers in her pocket in the first place, which is kind of the whole point and part of where it all went wrong...Also 2 years is still fairly new, but 2 years starting as...

    Who designs the layouts of these hospitals anyway??!!

    JadedCPN replied to Forest2's topic in General Nursing

    At my current facility, the trash can and soiled linen can are under the countertop next to the sink. That means you have to pull the trash can or linen can out from under the counter in order to...

    Latest on RaDonda Vaught case

    JadedCPN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    They weren’t short staffed. She directly admitted this herself. In fact the Help All Nurse is only when they have an abundance of staff. This nurse also isn’t floating to other units in the...

    Latest on RaDonda Vaught case

    JadedCPN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. Wow. After reading through the TBI, I am somehow even more shocked at the absolute negligence and recklessness of RV. The syringe wasn't even labeled with the medication, it just looks like a...

    PARTING GIFT

    JadedCPN replied to RNfindingherway's topic in General Nursing

    Nada. Zilch. Nothing. Not a d*mn thing. I have sent emails to the unit informing them of my departure and thanking them. When I've really liked a particular group of workers, I've brought sweets in on...

    Not adjusting to night shift

    JadedCPN replied to nurseontheway's topic in General Nursing

    How many hours are you wanting to get? I ask because for many people on nights, 6.5 hours is actually really good. Another question is how do you try to stay up all night? If you're sitting around...

    5 Ways Managers Can Make Nurses Feel Valued

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

    I agree with the article and the suggestions that other people have replied with. For me, I'm pretty simple - I feel valued when the things I value are respected. As a float nurse, I am pretty...

    Should I have accessed her port?

    JadedCPN replied to guest947568's topic in General Nursing

    My frustration with this topic is that it shows the struggle that many sickle cell patients have to go through in order to get adequate pain control because providers often judge them as...

    Can I get Fired?

    JadedCPN replied to Minniegirl0604's topic in General Nursing

    Can they fire you? Yes. Will they fire you? My guess would be no. You could get in trouble for it though. Over my years, we've let others (usually new grads) "practice" their IV skills on us...

    Quit GN Residency or Commute 2 hours

    JadedCPN replied to Jmcm1025's topic in General Nursing

    It wouldn't hurt to apply elsehwere and if someone takes you given the circumstances of why you have to cut out of the residency early, awesome. If for some reason you are "stuck" in the residency,...

    Nurses that “only do it for the money”

    JadedCPN replied to AFJ32780's topic in General Nursing

    I genuinely think 99% of the posts, even if they were of differing opinions, were not negative or derogatory towards you at all, and that maybe you misinterpreted the passion/strong opinions in some...

    Nurses that “only do it for the money”

    JadedCPN replied to AFJ32780's topic in General Nursing

    With all due respect, you seem to be the only one who is offended. There were a couple posts where people posted their strong opinions about the topic you brought up, but that is the point of the...

    Nurses that “only do it for the money”

    JadedCPN replied to AFJ32780's topic in General Nursing

    Probably because you posted a question as a thread, literally one sentence, followed up your first reply with "interesting responses" and then your second reply said you agreed with a poster who...

    Float nurse vs One unit

    JadedCPN replied to chtzu's topic in General Nursing

    Being a float nurse is amazing, I absolutely love it and wonder how I worked on one floor prior to floating. In regards to your question if you were offered the float position if you can ask to be on...

    Nurses that “only do it for the money”

    I'm curious, what do you think about nurses who go into the profession only because they think it is their

    Should I have accessed her port?

    JadedCPN replied to guest947568's topic in General Nursing

    While I do understand the reasoning behind not accessing since the pt already had working access, as others have stated I still would have accessed it if the patient requested to do so (regardless of...

    I did this so in trouble

    JadedCPN replied to Flossy73's topic in General Nursing

    I understand where your thought process was, but I do believe you were in the wrong. Floaters are great when there is enough staff to have them. If a nurse called in and they couldn't find a...

    Nurses that “only do it for the money”

    JadedCPN replied to AFJ32780's topic in General Nursing

    To mimic what others have said, it really makes no difference to me as long as you do your job. Truly. Those who think it is their calling are not inherently better nurses than those who do it for the...
