    Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    JadedCPN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for the information! I would never have imagined a tattoo would be legally recognized but I can see why it would make sense too. In addition to the specific information it must contain, can...

    Racism in Nursing: Is It Real?

    JadedCPN replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    I not once have said you (or anyone specific) haven’t experienced discrimination. I’m sure you have. Not sure what your point is to saying that. Nor why you’d feel the need to say I’m...

    Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    JadedCPN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    The problem is a tattoo isn’t a legal form of DNR, so that wouldn’t work. Maybe if the tattoo said “check my lanyard for my DNR”

    Racism in Nursing: Is It Real?

    JadedCPN replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    They are oppressed partially because there still are a lot of people like you who think like you, unfortunately. The definition of oppression includes “unjust treatment.” You yourself said...

    CCBC Nursing Program Drug Testing

    JadedCPN replied to Maggie20's topic in General Nursing

    I’m not sure exactly what CCBC is, I’m assuming a school maybe. In nursing there is always the chance that you could be randomly/unexpectedly drug tested though. And as far as I know there are...

    Coworkers Turning On Heavy Metal and Rock Music In the Dining Room For Elderly Residents

    JadedCPN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I hope they blast 90s R&B wherever I end up! The main issue I see in this scenario is how late and early it’s being played. You’re the manager, it doesn’t matter if people are...

    Are nurses able to shower after shift?

    JadedCPN replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in General Nursing

    You obviously don’t understand the hospital setting and standard precautions as well as PPE use, which is to be expected for most non-healthcare workers. If staff were to wear the gowns that...

    Are nurses able to shower after shift?

    JadedCPN replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in General Nursing

    Well welcome to AllNurses, and to the healthcare profession as a whole. This thread is from 2014, it’s interesting that you dug it up and then criticized responses as a whole for your very first...

    Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    JadedCPN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I’m not sure why you’re trying to school me on what a DNR is and means when I’ve been very directly vocal that I support DNRs in every scenario. And again not one single person on this thread...

    Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    JadedCPN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I wasn’t using that example of my mom as a means to justify negating a DNR order. At all. I’m not sure how you came to that conclusion. I was using it in regards to your snarky comment that...

    Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    JadedCPN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    This is a limited view of thinking, and your anger appears to be giving you some tunnel vision. My mother had a DNR and in home hospice as she was dying of metastasized breast cancer which included...

    Nurse forced to work as a tech/CNA

    JadedCPN replied to ThatOneRN_'s topic in General Nursing

    I don’t work rehab so of course it is completely different, but I’ve picked up one extra shift a week over the last month working as a “resource nurse” on different floors. 99% of what I do is...

    Feeling guilty for call in

    JadedCPN replied to snh2009's topic in General Nursing

    No, nope, nah, naw, noooooo you are not wrong for calling in today. Please stop, do not put that weight on your shoulders. Do what is best for you and your

    JadedCPN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    @Gillyboo I don’t think a single person on this thread has stated they would ever blatantly disregard a legal DNR paper. The question comes down to actually accessing the DNR paper, and many agreed...

    Transgender Students

    JadedCPN replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    Even more unfortunate is that here in Texas there probably never will be. Thank goodness we have people like you and the other school nurses who have responded who will keep the kids best interest at...

    The Needy Patient

    JadedCPN replied to Nurse Pompom's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with SourLemon. I work pediatrics but encounter similar issues with the teen patients and often times the parents at the bedside. I've found that telling them directly that I’m going to...

    Secondary COVID exposure? What?

    JadedCPN replied to CardiTeleRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I agree with Jedrnurse in that the issue isn’t about this secondary exposure but the fact that anyone, regardless of exposure or vaccine status or you or the person, was symptomatic and then you...

    They think I’m an ‘Undercover Boss’

    JadedCPN replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    Welcome to Texas! I moved here about 4 years ago from the Midwest originally and to say it’s a culture shock in every sense is an understatement. Safe harbor is great but yea I think you could be...

    Gaslighting job?

    JadedCPN replied to CardiTeleRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don’t know if I would call it gaslighting, but definitely sounds like poor care and using the “this is how we have always done it” excuse to explain the poor practices. More than likely even...

    Predatory New Grad Contracts

    JadedCPN replied to CreamCheeseRangoons's topic in General Nursing

    Overall, I don’t think 99% of these contracts should exist. However, I have a hard time using the term predatory as well. It’s a legally binding contract. What needs to be done is nursing schools...

    How many jobs have you had in your career?

    JadedCPN replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    I’ve been an RN for 15 years and have worked for 4 different hospitals. I was at the first one for 9 years and then had to resign in lieu of termination due to an acute medical condition that made...

    Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    JadedCPN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Logistically I think this is where it may be hard. If a staff member goes down in the middle of the shift, it’s going to be a chaotic scene of course and I’m not sure if people are going to be...

    Medications Mixing and Nasogastric Feeding Tubes

    JadedCPN replied to kjeanw's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with what other posters have said. Except for certain meds that can’t be given at the same time as other meds (I know there are some meds that have to be given at least an hour after...

    First Pediatrics Job!

    JadedCPN replied to Lynker's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats on the new job! If this is your first experience working with pediatrics, it will be an adjustment but you’ll get the hang of it. I would freshen up on general ideas of Ericson/Piaget...

    New Employer

    JadedCPN replied to Nursebecky's topic in General Nursing

    So you did tell them you were in school but that it was online? Because in your original post you specifically stated “I never told them I was in school during my interview cause I was afraid...
