    What would you be in another life?

    JadedCPN replied to NurseYoshi's topic in General Nursing

    A stripper who does cake sculpting/decorating on the side. The only other career I considered in high school instead of Nursing was a marine

    Who cleans the poo?

    JadedCPN replied to leilo0's topic in General Nursing

    It still is facility-dependent because my current hospital in TX requires that visible signs of any body fluids be removed before they come so that they can disinfect. I agree with other posters as...

    I HATE contingency orders

    JadedCPN replied to Melanin's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like your underlying issue here is time management. You absolutely have to make time to review all of your orders prior to starting patient care. If this isn't done during actual report...

    He Wanted to Practice Satanism for the Baby

    JadedCPN replied to Shookclays's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think that's the most important takeaway here. The issue in the original scenario isn't that he was practicing satanism on the baby - it's that Mom didn't want him to/want him there. Had she been...

    Forced Resignation

    JadedCPN replied to scooterscamp123's topic in General Nursing

    It's important to note that you were not forced to resign. You made a choice to resign as opposed to staying and missing your vacation/friend's wedding. That's a personal choice so there is no right...

    Did I break HIPAA?

    JadedCPN replied to brunette2296's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Amen! I gave up all social media very shortly into my career 12 years ago and have never returned. I saw too many people doing ignorant stuff like this and didn't want to get pulled into it. I have...

    Gastric Decompression?

    JadedCPN replied to BFly85's topic in Gastroenterology

    I would suggest clarifying with the ordering physician/team, and having them tell you what they want and the reasoning behind

    How has nursing changed you?

    JadedCPN replied to thoughtful21's topic in General Nursing

    Before I read anything else on this thread, I feel the need to point out that not everyone feels called by god or even believes in god yet you always seem to push that onto many of your threads....

    Sometimes the five rights make us look dumb

    JadedCPN replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    At the beginning of my shift, I always ask the patient/parent to verify the name and date of birth to ensure it matches the wristband. From there on out, I am visually confirming name/DOB on the...

    Nurse preceptor - incentive pay?

    JadedCPN replied to katiern46's topic in General Nursing

    I've never got paid to precept students or new hires at any facility I worked at. Like others have said, those that do it is a very minimal amount. I've looked at is as something to put on my resume,...

    Commute Time

    JadedCPN replied to nursechini's topic in General Nursing

    Same here! It takes longer to walk to my car and get out of the work garage than it does to actually get from the garage to my house. The longest commute I've ever had in all my years is 20 minutes on...

    What is the afterlife like?

    JadedCPN replied to EGspirit's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Based on the limited suggestions you have in the original post, I would select the non-existent one. That is the one that makes the most sense to me as a logical, scientific, and even spiritual...

    How to confront a disrespectful professor

    JadedCPN replied to MamaNanii's topic in General Students

    After reading the original post several times, I'm convinced it has to be a troll post. If for some crazy reason it's not, hopefully you learn a tough life lesson when you see the ultimate outcome...

    Bizarre Co-Worker Rant!

    JadedCPN replied to All4NursingRN's topic in General Nursing

    Off topic but just a suggestion, I would change your username so that it doesn't include your first and last name. Or any part of your

    Float RN

    JadedCPN replied to AmiLeigh's topic in General Nursing

    I worked on a unit for many years before I decided to venture out into being a float nurse. I hated floated when I had a "home" unit, but I can not imagine having a home unit now because I love...

    I want to become a great nurse but I feel terrified.

    JadedCPN replied to aspirational_'s topic in General Nursing

    Also to help put your mind at ease, your classmates who may have had a few more experiences with some of those technical skills are likely feeling the exact same way, and if they aren't they will be...

    Hours worked per week

    JadedCPN replied to melaniegmu's topic in General Nursing

    Only reason I would work two jobs is if I wanted some variety - in the past I have worked full time in my float position, and would occasionally be a clinical instructor for some weeks at a time....

    Nursing Spirituality

    JadedCPN replied to EGspirit's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    You didn't ask if Nursing was more than just a job/paycheck for me, because my answer would have been completely different. Instead you chose to ask if Nursing has spiritual implications for me. And...

    HIPPA violation if the patient isn't in your facility?

    JadedCPN replied to MoonlightRose's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Really?? You have nothing better to do at this stage in your life with your age, marriage, and now blessing of a pregnancy that instead you are dead set on potentially ruining someone's career simply...

    Nursing Spirituality

    JadedCPN replied to EGspirit's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    It has no spiritual implications for me at all, and I can't relate in the slightest way for those that answer yes. BUT I respect it, and we don't have to agree on things as long as you do your job...

    Does anyone here like nursing?

    JadedCPN replied to bluestar776's topic in General Nursing

    I've been a pediatric RN for 12 years, at three major pediatric hospital across the country - I still love my job. I can't personally relate to 91% of the posts/complaints on this board because my...

    Why do some nurses hate it in others pump at work?

    JadedCPN replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    Even though I am not a mother, I am pro-breastfeeding. The data regarding the benefits are significant and most people are aware that "breast is best" in most cases. I am a huge team player and will...
