    Quitting Small Residency for Bigger, Better Residency

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

    The fact that you appear to be basing your decision to leave a supportive environment just because of a "bigger name" hospital and the assumption that it will automatically be better because of that...

    Houston, TX new grad jobs

    JadedCPN replied to Kah1013's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm not sure why it didn't occur to you unless you didn't do your research. Houston is home to The Medical Center which is the biggest medical center in the country made up of over 50+ institutions,...

    AZ New Grad RN

    JadedCPN replied to EveeRN224's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This is horrible advice, new grads should not be placed into any type of traveling position. My advice would be to consider a full time position in a non-hospital setting, not just a part-time...

    Narcotic missing

    JadedCPN replied to Mbarbour's topic in General Nursing

    With all due respect, this is not very sound advice. Not everyone who diverts (not saying the OP is actually diverting) medication takes it themselves - some sell it or give it to others - so a clean...

    falling asleep during nightshift

    JadedCPN replied to nightlightnurseaide's topic in General Nursing

    No, it's NOT okay to just casually accept it as something that happens. Just because "it's how we work here" doesn't mean it's acceptable, doesn't mean it's responsible, doesn't mean it's ethical,...

    Peds (and picu/nicu) nurses- tell me about your unit!

    JadedCPN replied to ML23's topic in Pediatric

    Hey there! I've been a peds nurse for over 12 years, have worked at 4 different hospital systems and two of them have consistently been ranked the top 5 pediatric hospitals in the country. I'll...

    Best thing about being a nurse?

    JadedCPN replied to LM838's topic in General Nursing

    Besides the paycheck....the kids. If I had to work with adult patients I would have never ever became a

    I am doomed.

    JadedCPN replied to Guest219794's topic in General Nursing

    I was going to be funny with a very detailed reply but then I realized I can't even pretend to chart that detail oriented without forgetting a bunch of things...I'm really

    Tech falsified vitals

    JadedCPN replied to Presbynurse12345's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Unfortunately I am not surprised to hear that vitals were falsified, but I am just flabbergasted that the person wasn't fired. Along with sleeping on the clock, this has been an immediately fireable...

    falling asleep during nightshift

    The fact that you said your residents care about you is even more of a red flag than if you would have said you care about your

    Narcotic missing

    JadedCPN replied to Mbarbour's topic in General Nursing

    There's no way for strangers on the internet to know if you will be fired for this or not. However it is fair to say that a missing narcotic is a fairl big deal, especially if it can not be accounted...

    Ew...3 people

    JadedCPN replied to nightlightnurseaide's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You can "vent" all you want, that doesn't mean people are going to agree, are going to respond a certain way, or are going to coddle you. Plus even if you're just coming here to vent and, as you...

    Eating the patients' food?

    JadedCPN replied to blackmamba123's topic in General Nursing

    I'd like to think I don't eat the patient's food, but rather the hospital's food.... I have morals of course. The rules are I would never eat something out of a patient's room and I would never eat...

    A patient spit in my face

    JadedCPN replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in General Nursing

    The thing that makes this nurse an Ass wasn't that they didn't tell you the patient was a spitter - it is very possible that they got caught up in their thoughts and it slipped their mind. What makes...

    How do you keep from making med errors?

    JadedCPN replied to elmerj's topic in Patient Medications

    Just remember that you are ultimately responsible for your patient, and are often the "last line of defense" when it comes to patient safety, med errors, etc. Regardless of whether it was a CNA or...

    Exercise and Rotational Shift Work

    JadedCPN replied to nursingmymind's topic in Health, Stress Management

    First let me say, your schedule is horrible in my opinion! Assuming that is not your preference, nobody should be forced to rotate shifts within the same week! That alone is going to be a major...

    No Rehire

    JadedCPN replied to Rachelbolling88's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You've gotten some good advice so far. Hopefully you learned from your mistake and move forward if given this opportunity. Just another suggestion - if your username is your actual name like it...

    I don't think you're weird, I just think you come across as the type of person who will complain about every single thing and also expects praises for every single

    falling asleep during nightshift

    JadedCPN replied to nightlightnurseaide's topic in General Nursing

    I've worked night shift for 12 years and have never slept on the job. I firmly believe sleeping out in the open at work should be a fireable offense. Your collection of posts show one of the worst...

    We are not saints! (just because we work hard)

    JadedCPN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    That doesn't make you a saint. It makes you someone who puts work above their personal life, or someone who is okay being taken advantage of by their employer, or someone who doesn't know how to say...

    Peer feedback

    JadedCPN replied to Ahopkins81's topic in General Nursing

    Like others have mentioned, I really am good with just receiving a heartfelt thank you in person. If you feel like you need to do more, and your facility culture/environment supports it, I've always...

    Los Gatos ER Physician in the News

    JadedCPN replied to CityofAngelsRN's topic in Nursing News

    Yea after watching the videos and reading some articles, I just can't justify what the doctor did. It was completely unacceptable. That does not mean it isn't understandable, because we have all...

    I'm the only one who fund this funny

    JadedCPN replied to nightlightnurseaide's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    No. It comes across as more passive aggressive than anything. Of all the labels I would place on it, positive wouldn't make the list. I am glad you seem to realize that often times in this line of...

    Is this considered bullying?

    JadedCPN replied to Ilovenursing3's topic in General Nursing

    Just because he said he didn't know he was takin g amedication, does not mean that he wasn't comfortable taking the medication - that is a big leap to take. As others have mentioned, many patient's...
