    What is your opinion on "calling in sick" when not really sick?

    JadedCPN replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    That does remind me that one hospital I worked at had one singular unit, their pediatric trach/vent unit, that basically cut a deal with the hospital some how - they agreed that they would never have...

    Cardiac Short Stay Can someone tell me about this unit

    JadedCPN replied to Kaylight's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if I would be too sure they don't have the same patient load, but the patient load they do have might not be as heavy or sick if they'll be discharging the next day. On our general...

    Out of My Element Again

    JadedCPN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I still am not sure why you appear to feel you are entitled for the admission role. You said you were temporarily assigned to help out on this unit - if they've already got someone in the admission...

    How to Answer 'What Did You Like Least About Your Last Job?'

    JadedCPN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I definitely wouldn't say there was nothing I didn't like about the job because most employers are going to know that is a lie 99% of the

    How to Answer a Patient Who Asks: "Does God Exist?"

    JadedCPN replied to S.I.C.'s topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Not only am I not a Christian but in fact an atheist, however your generalization of Christians here is off-putting. Your general statement makes you no better than these “preaching Christians”...

    How to Answer a Patient Who Asks: "Does God Exist?"

    JadedCPN replied to S.I.C.'s topic in Spirituality, Religion

    But you don’t respect my view, because you said “ Finally, even if you do not believe that God exists; it does not make Him not exist anyway!” You can’t have it both ways. That’s

    How to Answer a Patient Who Asks: "Does God Exist?"

    JadedCPN replied to S.I.C.'s topic in Spirituality, Religion

    And just because he exists in your world, doesn’t mean he exists in mine and that I’m wrong. That’s the view you aren’t seeing. I don’t believe in god at all, but I’m perfectly fine with...

    Out of My Element Again

    JadedCPN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    You should not expect a pay increase or reward and you’re setting unrealistic expectations for yourself if you’re expecting that. Also as a manager it appears you are not doing your job...

    OK, what are you supposed to be doing instead of being in here?

    JadedCPN replied to JBudd's topic in General Nursing

    I’m supposed to be hopping on my newly purchased private jet (her name is Charlotte) that I obtained after winning the big lottery jackpot, heading to my own private island that I’ve named Lunch...

    New Nurse Not Happy / Anxious About Job

    JadedCPN replied to Ariana30's topic in General Nursing

    If you search through this forum for “new nurse anxiety” you will get thread after thread after thread of people posting similar experiences just like yours. The first year as a nurse is the...

    Worried vaccine accidentally given subq!

    JadedCPN replied to MNTB's topic in Disaster Preparation

    There's just not enough information about the COVID vaccine to know for sure, unfortunately. The CDC does recommend redosing the flu vaccine if it is accidentally given SQ instead of IM, but nothing...

    Continue Bedside or Take Occ? US RN in Europe

    JadedCPN replied to KNK2229's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like Occ Hx is the way to go, although they both seem like great opportunities. Only thing I would potentially be hesitant of is if you already officially accepted the med surg position,...

    What is your opinion on "calling in sick" when not really sick?

    JadedCPN replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Also to remember that short staffing is never an individual's problem or fault. Every hospital and unit should have the capacity to handle a call out, whether it is covered with float pool staff,...

    Cardiac Short Stay Can someone tell me about this unit

    JadedCPN replied to Kaylight's topic in General Nursing

    I would assume you interviewed for this position since you got an offer; was the unit not discussed during the interview? That's always a good time to get the general gist of a unit and ask questions....

    Help Ban Genital Cosmetic Surgery on Children

    JadedCPN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    You keep bringing these other topics in that are not the same and could have their own thread for debate. And no, not like piercing ears at all as a child with a pierced ear could decide on their...

    What is your opinion on "calling in sick" when not really sick?

    JadedCPN replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    I don’t feel a single ounce of guilt when calling out. Granted I work float pool for years now so that’s part of it but even when I had a home unit, there was no guilt whether it was from a...

    Help Ban Genital Cosmetic Surgery on Children

    JadedCPN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    They're cut for cosmetic reasons though, which I believe is that poster's point. Cosmetic is defined as "involving or relating to treatment intended to restore or improve a person's...

    I completely agree with this. Listing all of the complaints, very specifically and what seems word for word, would easily make you identifiable if I were part of the leadership team (or opposing...

    JadedCPN replied to Guest1030824's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I would still apply to positions that are requesting recent experience, as you've had experience within the last 6 months. However you should also look into the other options outside of the hospital...
