    Looking for advice on my career path.

    jadelpn replied to oliverandmollycat's topic in Nursing Career

    So are you currently an LPN? As an aside, and I am not trying to be mean, if you are not an LPN nor an RN, be really careful when calling yourself a nurse. Because unless you are an NCLEX-RN or PN...

    Answer Your Phones! Love, Tele.

    jadelpn replied to Stephalump's topic in General Nursing

    I would bring this to risk managment. You can use a 2 way radio specific to codes/rrt's that the "#1" member of the code team would carry. That would only be used for codes/rrt's. So you could just...

    What Are Your Thoughts On This? Guards Sleeping.

    jadelpn replied to havehope's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would have shook him and said "are you ok?!" Cause anyone guarding a prisioner who is showing agonal breathing and have their eyes closed MUST need to be assessed for CPR, no? Its all fun and games...

    Tired of hearing about the kids.

    Critical Thinking Development

    jadelpn replied to Loving-and-Learning's topic in General Nursing

    Remember, if the extremeties are cold, the O2 sensor will be inaccurate. Hand tremors could indicate the patient was cold. And the patient should be on I&O's if they are on lasix. Always...

    Unrealistic nursing students

    jadelpn replied to dnsonthego's topic in General Nursing

    OP, the students you encountered are undergrad, grad and now nursing students, at least one degree of which is to the tune of $80K. If you stay in school, then student loans can be deferred. There...

    What nursing reference books do you use

    jadelpn replied to d00d00butter's topic in General Nursing

    Get a good book on medications. Get an equally good book on lab values, and nursing diagnoses. There are also little booklets that are specific to "RN" (quick reference guides). Best of

    Critical Thinking Development

    jadelpn replied to Loving-and-Learning's topic in General Nursing

    Critical thinking can be learned. And will come easier with experience. Use your resources, as nursing should not be a solo sport. Sometimes when a nurse feels overwhelmed, it is difficult. Really...

    should interaction with patients be #1 reason for nursing?

    jadelpn replied to tarotale's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sick people are what gives us work. That you don't believe certain patient populations are your cup of tea is common for a number of nurses--we all have a niche. You have to look at the patient and...

    Broken RN

    jadelpn replied to Herky980's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would call your parent company's ethics hotline. If I were "cornered" in the parking lot, then the police need to be involved. If you have an aide that leaves a patient neglected (and lets call it...

    OP, I am so sorry that this happend to you. I know of a lot of nurses who fall asleep, but only a handful get "caught". And mostly those on rotating shifts, who don't work nights as a general
