    Manager catch phrases

    JadedCPN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    My favorite is any variety of the idea that they will get back to you, but never do. "I will look into that." "Let me check on that." "Let me get back to

    Workplace Harassment forced me to resign

    JadedCPN replied to Drgnfy13's topic in General Nursing

    Without getting into the comments and follows ups that have been interesting to read, I just want to clarify that nobody FORCED you to resign. As an adult, you need to take accountability in that...

    Because Living Is So Much More Than Surviving...

    JadedCPN replied to Alene Nitzky's topic in General Nursing

    This is lovely what you are doing and trying to promote. My beautiful mother went through the shock of being a survivor, and the biggest fear was recurrence. Even a single sneeze or chest cold had...

    Patients Say the Darnedest Things

    JadedCPN replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    I had a 15 year old post op boy recite the ENTIRE Old Spice commercial ("look at me, now look at your man, now back at me") to the doctor who asked how he was feeling as soon as we rolled him into his...

    Doctors Say the Darnedest Things

    Ok one more came to mind! Apparently they all revolve around stool lol. One ortho doctor wrote in his progress note "pt states he is drooling without difficulty. Today took two toilet

    Doctors Say the Darnedest Things

    JadedCPN replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    This was a quote on an actual medication order entered into the electronic medical record. He ordered Senna PRN. For the PRN reason, he took the time to type "poop." Under additional instructions, he...

    Jimmy Kimmel Thanks Nurses Who Saved His Infant Son's Life

    JadedCPN replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I absolutely loved this when I saw it as well. A lot of times, especially with the more well-known cases or celebrities, they automatically thank the doctor by name and then clump everyone else into...

    Brave or just stupid?

    JadedCPN replied to Polly Peptide's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It sounds like you've got your mind made up either way. My issue is with the title of your thread - there's nothing brave about what you're doing/thinking of doing. Not to say it's stupid either....

    Male student nurse long sleeves under scrub top question

    JadedCPN replied to rhoads22's topic in General Students

    I'm not sure why this is addressed to only male nurses since there are female nurses that have sleeve tattoos too If you google "tattoo sleeve covers," you'll see a variety of products that offer...

    Who can obtain a pain scale

    JadedCPN replied to Avan23's topic in Emergency

    In my pediatric ER experience, only RN and MDs have been able to perform pain assessments. The logic according to my most recent facility's policy is that there are a multitude of pain scales that we...

    offer letter

    JadedCPN replied to shirl_1's topic in Correctional

    It definitely should include your pay rate as well as your FTE/hour requirements. I can't imagine accepting a job, even a part time one, without asking about pay and requirements

    Why wasn't I placed in the ED?

    JadedCPN replied to shan_elle's topic in Emergency

    It has only been a dozen years since my capstone clinical, but apparently a lot has changed. Yea they asked us to put down our top three choices for where we would like to be, but you were lucky if...

    Why wasn't I placed in the ED?

    JadedCPN replied to shan_elle's topic in Emergency

    I thought I was the only one who was put off by what I perceived as the OP's entitlement. To be honest if you went into the interview with the same type of underlying tone of entitlement that your...

    Night shift and mandatory meetings

    I worked nights for 7 years and will be returning to the darkside in the next few weeks - thankfully I have always worked at a facility that was very understanding and accommodating to their night...

    BSN salary?

    JadedCPN replied to Kaitlyn.w's topic in General Nursing

    I have to mirror what others have said - it really depends on where you are, and what you consider a "good" or "bad" salary. That really comes down to things such as your debt and dependents. I...

    Weird meeting with manager

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

    I find it very, very troubling that you don't seem to be able to take 100% accountability and instead repeatedly come up with excuses/explanations as to why that doesn't involve/blame you. Shockingly...

    Weird meeting with manager

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

    I think you need to educate yourself more on diversion. Not all people who divert meds actually use the medication for themselves, some of them give them to family members, sell them, etc. So you...

    Being called a racial slur by a patient I sat?

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

    You get over it by not letting it get under your skin in the first place. Patients of all sorts, whether psych or not, are going to say mean hurtful things for various reasons. I've also been called...

    Should I report the person who scheduled me to a patient I should not have been sitting?

    JadedCPN replied to Rayrayma's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I also want to add that if you really felt the need to report the company/scheduler, be prepared for the possible repercussions (including potential termination) for your actions in this

    Should I report the person who scheduled me to a patient I should not have been sitting?

    JadedCPN replied to Rayrayma's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    This! OP, it sounds like the company "messed up" by assigning you a suicidal patient when you aren't supposed to have one for your first 30 days, whether that was on purpose or if they genuinely...

    New Nurse, New Job, Feeling Dumb

    JadedCPN replied to aimee32907's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Like everyone else has said, it is completely normal. I just want to add - do not worry about looking silly taking notes (or whatever else like asking questions) - do NOT let that stop you from doing...
