    Kudos to you guys!

    JadedCPN replied to adventure_rn's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I've followed this forum for years despite not being in recovery, to the point where I too hate the system and how they mostly appear out to get money. I've read about crazy hard lessons learned which...

    JadedCPN replied to RNrightn0w's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Relocating question

    JadedCPN replied to Sbeverly5's topic in Nursing Career

    When I moved from Ohio to Arizona, I told them I can do it in 6 weeks and that wasn't a problem. They were willing to extend it to 8 weeks if needed. When I moved from Arizona to Texas, I told them I...

    Curiosity

    JadedCPN replied to TexNurse777's topic in Nurses Recovery

    True story...during one summer break for college years ago, I decided to get a temp job at my mother's place of employment as a secretary. I, the perfect angel child who still to this day has never...

    Is this LTC facility trying to take her license?

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

    The original statement never said they weren't allowed, the post said "Actually it's meant to be a forum for nurses, read the terms of service." And I think they provided adequate information to back...

    Walmart cashiers wearing gloves?

    JadedCPN replied to Misstika's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    Its strange to me that you care enough about this to be offended (despite multiple attempts to back track, you definitely made it clear you were offended in your OP), to go out of your way to ask the...

    Is this LTC facility trying to take her license?

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

    I can't offer much advice except that this is going to be a very hard lesson for her to learn - every single nurse knows they should not give someone their log in information let alone their med cart...

    Anyone know any non-traditional RN jobs in Las Vegas?

    JadedCPN replied to SoCal student's topic in General Nursing

    This was going to be suggestion as well. I've never lived in Vegas, but when I lived in Phoenix it was definitely our second home as it was a hop skip and jump away. I was actually with a friend one...

    Texas Children's investigates RN for social media HIPAA violation

    JadedCPN replied to JustBeachyNurse's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Everything else aside......THIS is why I do not have social media at all, period. That is all. I don't even have the energy to go through the stupidity of what the nurse did in regards to a blatant...

    Aggressive family member

    JadedCPN replied to Jerez's topic in General Nursing

    The OP said the father "pushed my hands away" which surely is a bit more than you downplayed it by saying he made contact with the nurse's hand for the purpose of getting her attention. You can get...

    Outrageous Complaints

    JadedCPN replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in General Nursing

    I worked in Phoenix, and the airport was close to downtown and the hospitals - like 5 minutes away. Most pediatric patients and families loved it because the hospital had huge windows in each room and...

    Aggressive family member

    JadedCPN replied to Jerez's topic in General Nursing

    There is no situation where it is okay for a parent to place their hands on a nurse in that manner. Especially not when they have a needle in their hand and more damage could be done to their child...

    HIPAA Violation, Fired

    JadedCPN replied to kosmopolitan's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    This was my thoughts exactly. It very well could have been a handful of other people who reported it. Or perhaps for some reason the charge nurse didn't feel comfortable "reprimanding" a nurse who...

    Ten Questions with Nancy Lee Grahn aka "Alexis Davis" on General Hospital

    JadedCPN replied to Debi Fischer's topic in General Nursing

    I can't believe I just skimmed through that. I'm not even sure what to say. And there's two more articles related to this. And you seriously are saying to nurses to empower yourselves like characters...

    Interview went well but no call afterwards...

    JadedCPN replied to Maruko212's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    One, you should never really be shocked that you weren't chosen for a position - you should realize that there are likely many, many other applicants who may have similar, if not more impressive,...

    Michigan hospital sued after honoring woman's request for "white nurse only"

    JadedCPN replied to klone's topic in Nursing News

    I think there is a difference in asking for an accomodation based on a religious reason/preference, and asking for an accomodation because you're racist. I do not think that hospitals should be...

    Pediatric nursing right out of school?

    JadedCPN replied to ital91's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I went directly into Peds - PICU - as a brand new grad 12 years ago and have never looked back. I always knew prior to starting nursing school that I only wanted to take care of pediatric patients....

    New Grad Nurse Arrogance

    JadedCPN replied to gizmojamz's topic in General Nursing

    I think you misunderstood my post. I wasn't saying that I actually thought the OP was jealous. I was simply saying that sometimes we don't realize internal feelings we have going on, and that can...

    New Grad Nurse Arrogance

    JadedCPN replied to gizmojamz's topic in General Nursing

    Something to consider is the possibility that she isn't the one acting different, but perhaps you are acting/viewing things differently because of your own feelings (jealousy? envy?) about her...
