    Hiring manager offered position, HR said no and won't tell me why.

    JadedCPN replied to MiloRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, carelessly. That was not meant as a jab at all yet you seem really defensive with some of your replies to those of us offering suggestions and thoughts. Also kudos to you for being off social...

    Hiring manager offered position, HR said no and won't tell me why.

    JadedCPN replied to MiloRN's topic in General Nursing

    That is a hard lesson to learn, but hopefully it will be one that you only have to learn once. Also a thought - anything on social media/google that could have turned them off? With you so freely and...

    FOMO & anxiety. Need advise.

    JadedCPN replied to Octobermyfav's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. You really, really need to educate yourself on this matter. Truly educate yourself with all of your clear personal bias aside. Edited to add that not only should you educate yourself, but you...

    Becoming Competitive for New Grad Programs

    One suggestion that isn't included in your post is to look outside of the hospital setting, which you don't appear to be doing based on the units you

    Need some advice!

    While I've never been one to partake in using marijuana myself, I am of the mind set that if alcohol is legal then marijuana should be as well. The issue here isn't so much that you enjoy using...

    FOMO & anxiety. Need advise.

    JadedCPN replied to Octobermyfav's topic in General Nursing

    I can't imagine anyone, let alone anyone/anything on social media, being that irrelevantly relevant to my life that I care what they are or aren't doing without me, or I don't like how they are...

    Eligible for rehire?

    My understanding is this field can be extremely hard to break into, especially with no experience and no training, certifications, or education on things such as fillers, etc. The NP route sounds...

    New To Pediatrics

    JadedCPN replied to NurseC1986's topic in Pediatric

    Ahhh truer words have never been spoken! I've always joked that pediatric nursing should have its own version of Casual Friday called Parent-Free-Monday. I kid, I kid....kind of. Show respect and talk...

    Am I losing the ability to think like a normal person?

    JadedCPN replied to JamiePedsRN's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    In reality, you shouldn't be coming up with ANY diagnosis. Not only it is outside of your scope and a liability to your license, but think of the guilt you would have and potential resentment they...

    What Do Nurses Want?

    JadedCPN replied to medihacks907's topic in General Nursing

    I want a presentation/learning experience that is straight to the point and as quick as it can be. Most of the times these games take up more time than just presenting the info, and I can guarantee...

    Leaving PICU to go to the floor

    JadedCPN replied to BAMF, BSN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I was in your exact same boat over 13 years ago! Started in the PICU as a brand new grad at one of the top three best pediatric hospitals in the country, then transitioned to the floor and had allllll...

    JadedCPN replied to reediculous's topic in General Nursing

    JadedCPN replied to SNAMATT's topic in General Nursing

    Best advice you'll ever receive. Like others have mentioned, you should consider the possibility that you are reading too far into it. Even if you aren't, don't let her set you up to be the "bad...
