    Are you a "Sister?"

    JadedCPN replied to MikeyBSN's topic in General Nursing

    I've never heard this (I've worked in the south, Southwest, and Midwest), never been called this, and never want to be called

    Nights vs. Days

    JadedCPN replied to nurseontheway's topic in Medical-Surgical

    The short answer is, NO. Of course things vary from facility to facility and even floor to floor. However, in my experience it is a myth that night shift isn't hectic. There may be times where it is...

    Denied Nursing School.... Again

    JadedCPN replied to kkb91's topic in General Students

    This. It is not about you being good enough, but based on your own statements your GPA isn't good and the two places you are applying to are extremely competitive. If you decide that you want to...

    Wheelchair and IV Pole

    JadedCPN replied to rachRN96's topic in General Students

    True story, when I was in one of my first clinical at school some 16 years ago I accompanied my patient to X-ray. When we went down to X-ray, I was just along for the ride and carried the chart while...

    Is this legal?

    JadedCPN replied to BeenThere2012's topic in General Nursing

    I don't even smoke, and this has me cracking up so

    Is it wrong to start infusion that will not finish till next shift?

    JadedCPN replied to Capp's topic in Patient Medications

    This is definitely one of the most ridiculous things I've heard. Of course it is okay if you start something that won't finish on your shift. I can't believe the other nurse went to the extreme of...

    'My Patient died' Facebook post

    JadedCPN replied to miladaniels's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    There is nothing wrong with that at all, completely understandable. However for the sake of the argument and technicality, wanting "FB love" still means attention. There's nothing wrong with that for...

    Allegation of Neglect

    JadedCPN replied to jaortiz20's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Nothing about your posts on this thread make sense. Contact a lawyer immediately, regardless of what the truth

    'My Patient died' Facebook post

    JadedCPN replied to miladaniels's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Just because things are not technical HIPAA violations does not mean that you should post them on social media. Most organizations now have social media policies and clauses that can easily be used...

    I tested positive while in recovery now what??

    JadedCPN replied to Myyep's topic in Nurses Recovery

    For Benadryl?!? Wow. I've read and supported this forum for years but I am just speechless that Benadryl would make people restart their programs. Wow. I am sorry that you guys have to go through such...

    Swastikas & Nursing | Refusing care based upon moral objection?

    JadedCPN replied to guest042302019's topic in General Nursing

    I think this is a great summary/take home point of it all. There's a difference between internally judging, and then reacting based on those

    Nursing documentation

    JadedCPN replied to NurseTy6893's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps I'm misunderstanding. But based on your post, the best way to remember head to toe assessment is to document the assessment at the bedside like it sounds like your organization is pushing. Or...

    Swastikas & Nursing | Refusing care based upon moral objection?

    JadedCPN replied to guest042302019's topic in General Nursing

    Thankfully, that's not how it works. Healthcare would be even more of a mess than it is now if providers and caregivers could pick and choose who they want to take care of because their beliefs...

    Swastikas & Nursing | Refusing care based upon moral objection?

    JadedCPN replied to guest042302019's topic in General Nursing

    No, I don't feel a nurse should refuse to take care of a patient. I do believe that a nurse has every right to set very hard limits and boundaries with said patient if they were to be subjected to

    Mistakes.. in a non nursing job

    JadedCPN replied to BriCheese's topic in General Students

    This is me, every single shift, at least 100

    When do you hold insulin if no parameters?

    JadedCPN replied to mzsuccess's topic in General Nursing

    Im so glad you wrote this; this is beyond concerning. It is one thing to seek other people's opinions after something has happened, but you appear to be seeking information to make real-time clinical...

    Dealing with Students in Clinicals: What would you like to see?

    JadedCPN replied to bsf312's topic in General Nursing

    This is more so a reminder to yourself - remember that you can and will learn something from every nurse that you encounter, even the mean crabby grumpy ones that obviously don't want a student that...

    Racial Discrimination in the Nursing Profession

    JadedCPN replied to MasterStreet's topic in General Nursing

    I am a Caucasian woman. Unlike many people, I am very aware of the automatic priviledge that comes with being Caucasian on a very basic level. Part of the reason I am aware of it is because my husband...

    Float back to staff

    JadedCPN replied to CalicoKitty's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, what the two posters above said. I've been float pool at a few facilities for about 4 years now. In my current position, I am only required to float to acute care areas. However, I have been...

    Case Study Answers

    JadedCPN replied to BossNikky's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This may be the boldest homework post I've seen yet - didn't even give the courtesy of asking for our help! What are your thoughts on this case

    New grad considering a position in a doctor's office

    JadedCPN replied to Ashley1296's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This is not meant in any offensive way...but you don't even have nursing skills yet to lose. Plenty of people have gone from a clinic or office into a hospital position. Not everyone starts out in a...

    PVT got good pop up then tried it again accept my cc

    JadedCPN replied to Gmell's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    This is why people shouldn't even attempt this ridiculous PVT/"trick," because it tells you absolutely nothing and essentially makes you even more anxious while awaiting

    Working/Volunteering after this Hurricane

    JadedCPN replied to rn_patrick's topic in General Nursing

    I can say from personal experience after Harvey last year, we did not have an increased need for nurses/travelers in my hospital. However as MMJ pointed out, there were many local organizations that...

    When did being pregnant become a disability?

    JadedCPN replied to guest940422's topic in General Nursing

    It has been my experience that the "lazy" pregnant nurses, also happen to be the same lazy nurses who try to get out of stuff when they aren't pregnant...so I don't think pregnancy is the issue

    LTC nurses...

    JadedCPN replied to Cora_Ann's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    This sweeping generalization you've made says much more about you and your character than anything
