    Help a new grad understand?!

    JadedCPN replied to riRN16's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Being a new grad, it is perfectly okay and understandable that you may not always understand the plan of care - however, it is your responsibility to ask questions so that you do understand the plan...

    Don't be an Autobot

    JadedCPN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I don't disagree with you. However my understanding is that all of this emphasis on scripting isn't necessarily solely for the RN to sound like an autobot and focus on the Press Ganey scores, but...

    Should I give up on NICU?

    JadedCPN replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    If NICU is what you think you truly want to do, then I wouldn't give up on it. However I think you should be realistic and accept that you may not be able to get a direct A to B from ER to NICU...

    RN thinking of quitting job b/c of IV's.

    JadedCPN replied to Phe12's topic in General Nursing

    You not being great at the actual poke isn't as big of a deal (although being an infusion center it is an important skill) as you've seen from the replies of several nurses who have been nurses for...

    RN thinking of quitting job b/c of IV's.

    JadedCPN replied to Phe12's topic in General Nursing

    Three jobs in 2 years as a new nurse seems a little excessive, I think if you can hang in there you should unless you know for sure your old job will definitely take you back and that you won't be...

    Denied PTO for my marriage

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

    I've worked with several nurses over the years who have been in similar situations. I personally would not leave a job that I like (or even one I didn't like if I did not have a replacement job...

    Unhealthy habits/Facebook posts from friends/family that make you :( ?

    This is one of many reasons why I don't do social

    Endorsing to the next shift

    JadedCPN replied to whatdayisit11to7Nrse's topic in General Nursing

    As the oncoming nurse, my thought is always that I HAVE to be here for the next 12 hours whereas the offgoing nurse doesn't have to be so I want to get them out of here as soon as possible, regardless...

    Does the OR count as "critical care"?

    JadedCPN replied to morecoffeeplease's topic in Nursing Career

    My guess would be no. Any patient on any floor/setting could "potentially" crump/code and turn into a critical care scenario, so I wouldn't think just the potential would count as critical care...

    Yacker Tracker in the NICU ???

    JadedCPN replied to Bezoars's topic in General Nursing

    We had one of these at the first pediatric hospital I worked for, but only on certain units. Ours wasn't a stop light, it was shaped like an ear and there were three "levels" of the ear that would...

    Panic attacks following never event.

    JadedCPN replied to Iamgroot29's topic in General Nursing

    My bold. That's an extremely important point to make - educate others. I'm sure there is embarrassment that the mistake was made, and it sounds like coworkers are jumping to conclusions and judging...

    Only charting?

    JadedCPN replied to Niquolea26's topic in General Students

    Everything else aside, the truth is that even as a nurse practitioner, you'll still be a NURSE practitioner. You're still going to be a nurse

    Nursing Dreams and Nightmares

    JadedCPN replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    You know even after a decade I don't think I've ever truly had a nursing dream. I mean I hear the beeps in my head (lol) when I am driving home and at home, but don't think I've had a full

    Panic attacks following never event.

    JadedCPN replied to Iamgroot29's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone's suggestions and comments have been on point. I strongly recommend going to a therapist so that you can get your mental peace of mind

    Top New Grad Candidate Rejected from New Grad Residency

    JadedCPN replied to WhenInRome's topic in Nursing Career

    This is an excellent point. OP, you mentioned all of your on-paper achievements as to why you should have received the position at Dream Hospital, but you didn't mention how the interview went - it...

    A nurse with a speech impediment

    JadedCPN replied to Nurse_Tickles's topic in General Nursing

    To be straightforward, you've only been an RN for 6 months so you can't sound that great on paper. Not that you sound bad, I don't mean that, but 6 months experience isn't that much experience and...

    Love: The Art of Caring for Terminally Ill Babies

    JadedCPN replied to anon456's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    After over 10 years of pediatric nursing floating to all areas of the hospital, I related to this on so many levels. Thank you for

    Nurses Eating Nursing Students

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

    It isn't that the term was too harsh, it is that the term was completely inaccurate for the situation that you described. And it really shouldn't be that hard to not take something like that...

    What's In A Name Badge?

    JadedCPN replied to TruvyNurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I completely understand and agree with the perspective that the patients' have a right to know who is providing care, and also that they can find other ways to find it out. I have just witnessed...

    What's In A Name Badge?

    JadedCPN replied to TruvyNurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    That absolutely blows my mind that in all environments, they would have full names in a prison setting!! I avoid social media completely, partially to avoid such

    What's In A Name Badge?

    JadedCPN replied to TruvyNurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Interesting perspective; I've never looked at it that way or felt offended by that. Where I've worked, first AND last names are on everyone's badge including MDs. I personally do not like having my...

    Need help

    JadedCPN replied to mayokaren54's topic in General Nursing

    What a sucky situation. I am not going to touch on the issue of your probation and license, as that is a whole different beast in itself. My only suggestion/thought would be fighting for your job to...

    Aged Care Duty of care question

    JadedCPN replied to Huwscor's topic in General Nursing

    With all due respect, it is not completely fine in this situation. As others have stated, it is her legal obligation and her nursing license is in jeopardy if she doesn't "rock the

    I am a CNA but want to train to be a PCT

    JadedCPN replied to SandraW34's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I can't speak specifically for your state/city in regards to what you can or can not do. In the two states that I've lived and worked (Ohio and Arizona), a CNA and a PCT are the same thing in regards...
