    Staff Nurses Who Refuse To Precept Or Teach?

    JadedCPN replied to All4NursingRN's topic in General Nursing

    Just curious if you have worked with them for a while/are aware of their back story? I ask this because I know many nurses, myself included, who precepted back to back to back over and over again....

    Many nurses do not chart?

    JadedCPN replied to Guest716906's topic in General Nursing

    With all due respect, you've had five different jobs and its always been an issue - seems like the issue is likely you and the way you chart/what you chart, not that you aren't in the appropriate...

    JadedCPN replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    Thanks for sharing this! I actually read it a while back when it was first posted by the Mom and forgot to share. As a peds nurse myself, especially one that works on the oncology floor frequently,...

    Suit, or "business professional" attire?

    Can I land a PICU job as a new grad.

    JadedCPN replied to lovecanada19's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    It's been about a dozen year since I was a new grad, but I was hired into the PICU as a new grad in one of the top three pediatric hospitals in the country with very limited experience besides nursing...

    IV training for RN

    JadedCPN replied to moneynhien's topic in General Nursing

    As others have mentioned, actual IV insertion truly is an art and takes practice. My first suggestion would be to make sure you have a firm understanding of general vein anatomy. Sure every person...

    New ER nurse

    JadedCPN replied to BaileyBSNRN's topic in Emergency

    Everyone's first handful of codes, especially traumatic ones, can always take a toll, and saying yours was a traumatic code is definitely an understatement. Not just a GSW, but self inflected, to the...

    Just started in the OR... wondering if it's for me. Opinions?!

    JadedCPN replied to Bnw684's topic in General Nursing

    If you really think about it, you can't lose skills that you never really had in the first place. I don't mean that disrespectfully, I just mean that new grads in general may be taught certain skills...

    Feeling unliked and unrespected at work

    JadedCPN replied to Juniper83's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've never once cared about fitting in or being liked at work. I'm there for a paycheck, and to take care of my patients, that's it. Cool if I happen to get along with some people to help the shift...

    How many patients do you see per shift.

    JadedCPN replied to trutuyu's topic in Emergency

    8-10 a night?! I'm guessing that was just based on wishful thinking and not doing research. The pediatric ER I float to now assigns nurses to rooms. I have 3-4 rooms (depending on our staffing that...

    Syringe driver terror

    JadedCPN replied to milly's topic in General Nursing

    This is NOT about you, nor should it be - it should be about providing comfort to a person who is literally dying. Period. Get over yourself and either do what needs to be done for the patient or have...

    Don't Risk Your Job Over Social Media

    JadedCPN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I am very much anti-social media in general and have avoided it at all costs for about 8 years. That has a lot to do with the fact that during the first four years prior to that when I started as a...

    JadedCPN replied to scheibs1's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    Just take this as a learning lesson and apply it to your practice from here on out. I keep a mini flash light on my lanyard and use it every single night when I do my hourly IV checks - I cover it...

    JadedCPN replied to spotangel's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Wow. I'm just really at a loss of words. As many others have stated, I feel this is beyond inappropriate for so many reasons - none of which have to do with "believers/non believers/atheists." Just...

    How can I say thank you?

    JadedCPN replied to Mommaof3warriors's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    Truly, your words of appreciation directly to the staff really do go a long way and mean so much - whether that's verbally, to the managers/charge nurse, through thank you cards, or even daisy award...
