    You can get tutored in math. Speak to your academic advisor about it. Go to your local college of choice and have their advisor look over what you have and what you need. Then take one course and see...

    Should I stick with nursing

    jadelpn replied to nurseontraining875's topic in General Students

    Have this conversation with your academic advisor. There are NP's who specialize in forensics. Which sounds like something that may interest you. You also need to look at the jobs you can find....

    Allergic to my job?

    jadelpn replied to Hopeful1003's topic in General Nursing

    Kind of a weird thought, however If your issue is with the soap, there's a couple of things you could try. One is baby shampoo/wash that you keep in your scrub pocket. You could even try some organic...

    SBAR

    jadelpn replied to tateloo's topic in General Nursing

    SBAR would come into play with you giving report to the ED. The MD gave you an order, and SBAR is a communication tool that is mostly used for report. You know this patient/resident, and the...

    not on the work schedule

    jadelpn replied to HAYNURSE's topic in General Nursing

    You are so right!! They see it as money sucking. They can hire 2 (sometimes 3) nurses at the cost of one long term nurse. And any nurse can be trained to follow the script with

    INR LABS

    jadelpn replied to nikita12's topic in General Nursing

    Look at your order, and find out where the MD wants the therapeutic range of the INR to be. No 2 people are alike in where the MD would like the range at. When the INR is complete, if the range is not...

    not on the work schedule

    jadelpn replied to HAYNURSE's topic in General Nursing

    OP, I am so sorry that this happened to you. Dirty, for sure. They are going to "do you the favor" of "letting" you stay on per diem? Are you in a union? Also be sure that you say to the manager "I...

    jadelpn replied to regerterb's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You got there on time. You called in advance regarding an unforeseen traffic delay. I am not sure what you could have/should have done differently. Sounds as if the interview itself went well. Best...

    jadelpn replied to MrClean01's topic in General Nursing

    I can not like this post enough. I am not giving you medical advice (against AN TOS) however, historically for a person that has dealt with anorexia, this is a control issue. Which for some can...

    If an IV catheter is coming out, can you just push it back in?

    jadelpn replied to Vani1925's topic in General Students

    It is not ideal practice. Not only from the infection control arena, but pushing the flimsy plastic catheter back into the skin could make the IV no longer patent, and infiltrate. So don't do it....

    jadelpn replied to jkdrn's topic in General Nursing

    To remove that part of his work history would leave a hole in work history that would be hard to explain. Is he PRN at a hospital, or at the nursing home? If he is PRN at the hospital, continue to...

    jadelpn replied to MeiDei's topic in General Students

    This is a real issue. And I am so sorry that this has happened to you. I am curious as to how the other person reacted when you confronted this with them. Apologize? Denied? Did the person offer...
