    Should I do more??

    jadelpn replied to Aloe_sky's topic in General Nursing

    I would not judge your co-worker too harshly. Manipulative measures are sometimes put into place--as a means of "controlling" others. Especially with the coworkers who are seemingly "pushovers". In...

    Comfortable living?

    jadelpn replied to Kdao's topic in General Nursing

    You need to be sure that you are living within your means. You could add to your expenses school loans, which you will most likely accumulate after college. If there is a "family budgeting" class...

    Should I report this nurse for unprofessionalism?

    jadelpn replied to crosew's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I would report her, as the patient indicated that this has happened before. And that is has happened before, and this nurse is still on the case is

    I need to know if I have the right to refuse care

    jadelpn replied to Penguins11's topic in General Nursing

    All of the suggestions from pp are great ones. I would also just like to add that this patient should NOT be a "go in alone and deal" patient. There needs to be 2 or 3 people. Yes, she has the...

    I'm ready to start a paper trail.

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

    Your manager is being ineffective. I would, without emotion, give very specific examples in your written request for assistance, especially that she continues to reprimand you in front of patients,...

    Loco-Parentis

    jadelpn replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    BUT, you are NOT a parent to the student. Again, YOU ARE NOT A PARENT to these students. Your values have absolutely NOTHING to do with it. What you would do has NOTHING to do with it. What your...

    Loco-Parentis

    jadelpn replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Then that is what you do. What parents choose or not choose to do as far as permitting their children to be out of the school for the weekend is not your concern. What the kids do or don't do for...

    Getting along with coworkers

    jadelpn replied to nur14's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Deep breath. Let it out. "I am sorry, but I am in the middle of orientating. Could you ask one of the other nurses, please?" Then, maybe during shift report, before you all get out on the floor "I am...

    Depressed about a job offer

    jadelpn replied to richardgecko's topic in General Nursing

    Eh, people's marriages are people's marriages. We all "put up with" and do or not do. Your marriage has a lot going on. You work days, he works nights, he goes to school, there's a child.....so any...

    I got reported to HR

    jadelpn replied to katie92's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Op, I am sorry that this happened to you. I really try not to get up close and personal with anyone at the nurses station. Personal questions no matter what the intent can and do get misinterpreted...

    Sex-ed

    jadelpn replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Your job as a school nurse is not to teach kids morals. Parents have the right to teach their children whatever they would like to as far as their family stance on sex and sexuality. Which in a...

    I'm a sexless nurse

    jadelpn replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    You know what, OP? Here's the thing. You have worked with children (teenagers?) for 10 years. I am sure not in the best of circumstances. For any number of nurses, it becomes a "seen it all, nothing...

    Pot, teenagers, and the psych ward

    jadelpn replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I am not a huge pot fan. However, the same can be said about a ton of drugs that people use illegally. Interestingly, there's a whole lot of not typical things kids are using to get high. Gasoline...

    I'm a sexless nurse

    jadelpn replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Americans are not all oversexualized. Especially in the work arena. There are laws against that. As for procedures, we all do what we have to do to the patient's benefit. And no, our likes and...

    I'm a sexless nurse

    jadelpn replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Why are you sexualizing medical procedures? This is not a sexual thing, it is a medical thing. Don't attach shame or "doing that" to the process. It does a disservice to

    Need career advice

    jadelpn replied to Anewnp's topic in Advanced Practice

    Would it be feasible to take a per diem--maybe a weekend day a month in the pediatric clinic (provided that they are open on some Saturdays?) This way, if the oncology gig doesn't work as time goes on...

    Nursing's Transition: Creating Inclusive Healthcare Settings for Transgendered Patients

    jadelpn replied to Jessica Quigley's topic in General Nursing

    Well it would not be compassionate, nor loving to not call people with what they identify with. And unless Jesus is gonna sign your paycheck, you will be serving your facility for 40 hours a week. And...

    Multiple Questions

    jadelpn replied to Lyn56's topic in General Nursing

    Is this homework or NCLEX prep questions? As a pp noted, each facility has their own policies and procedures. You should look at them, know them. Also, know your resources. Nursing is a team sport,...

    New Policy

    jadelpn replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have a union? If so, I would discuss this with them. Unfortunately, there are policies/laws that are specific to "at will" employment. Basically that at any time, for any reason, (except for...

    Floating Policy

    jadelpn replied to NGYSUN's topic in General Nursing

    The facility is going to try to use who they have already in house. As to call in a float nurse means that they are going to pay more when there are nurses in house who could be pulled. And in any...

    Nursing's Transition: Creating Inclusive Healthcare Settings for Transgendered Patients

    jadelpn replied to Jessica Quigley's topic in General Nursing

    And I have noted before, there seems to be a huge trend of parents who are raising their children in a non-gender fashion. Which is being carried into the school systems, and new teachers are being...

    Should I have charted different?

    jadelpn replied to littlemissfit's topic in General Nursing

    I would not use words like "RN concerned". I would, as a pp pointed out, chart what you did assessment wise, your interventions and response of patient. "MD notified at _____, of patient's continued...
