    Walking into a mess

    jadelpn replied to CloudySue's topic in Private Duty

    I don't blame you for being angry about this. I am assuming that you are the night nurse, and the parent(s) take care of the child during the day...and have the child more "full time" on the weekend...

    NO Practicum Paragraph?

    jadelpn replied to nursetobe111's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I am not sure I would take that advice--and most definitely would write exactly what you did. When you are a new graduate nurse, the clinical experiences are about the only thing as far as "clinical...

    jadelpn replied to Tj1120's topic in Critical Care

    Teamwork and great management is the 2 main reasons I would try and stay right where I am. If there ever comes a time you would like to do more, in the future you can transfer to the IV team. As...

    Staffing

    jadelpn replied to EDRN1408's topic in General Nursing

    I would report to risk management as well as compliance. You should at least have one CNA who can do double duty of answering the phone and helping. Or an ER tech who can draw your labs and do your...

    Capstone/preceptor woes

    jadelpn replied to RookieRoo's topic in General Students

    So, your preceptor has a difficult personality. Try really hard not to personalize this into "I can't do anything right". Because that would be false. The ER is a "specialty" therefore, it will take...

    Depending on the computer program the facility is using, you may be able to. Otherwise, in the free text section is where you would note the "other thing" ie: Patient c/o tingling with above noted...

    My Fibro

    jadelpn replied to Guest219794's topic in General Nursing

    You have GOT to be kidding me. I think anyone who is a cancer survivor has every right to yell it from any surface they would like to. That is hardly a badge that many of us would want to put on. And...

    jadelpn replied to Jessica Quigley's topic in General Nursing

    I am having a hard time following your thought process, but here goes.... I understand that in your personal life, you are perhaps devout on what is noted in the Bible. There are lots of things in...

    rant.. "4 weeks notice"

    jadelpn replied to misyan's topic in General Nursing

    Many hospitals require 4 weeks notice. Where you were moving to another city, perhaps this notice was taken from your manager as a you would not want to come back anyways thing. Did they accept your...

    jadelpn replied to SookieBSN's topic in General Nursing

    OP, regardless of where you are looking for jobs, have a professional look at and amend your resume to highlight your strengths, and to make your resume stand out. Same with your cover letter. If you...

    jadelpn replied to itsme0987's topic in General Nursing

    Are there NPs who work as RNs in Massachusetts or NH

    jadelpn replied to chincka's topic in General Nursing

    Then I would think about staying a bedside RN in your current situation, and picking up a few shifts in local urgent care/MD office. Best

    Procedure on this? Nurse and her abuser

    jadelpn replied to CMarieRN87's topic in General Nursing

    Positive Affirmation: Healing or Hogwash?

    jadelpn replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    You can accept what you can do and see presently. No sense getting yourself in a place where you are getting bummed out every day. It is what it is at present. But when you are 100% of your 80%,...

    jadelpn replied to NightWatch's topic in Nursing Career

    The time to be able to apply for nursing jobs would be your days off, or after/before work. I am sure you need to begin paying off your student loans soon. You need to be able to work to be able to...

    Call your malpractice carrier for guidance. If you have a union, have discussion with your delegate to keep them in the loop. And I agree with the pp. Going forward, have the day nurse show you...

    You will all probably hate me for this

    jadelpn replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

    "You will all probably hate me for this" suggests a communication style that is passive aggressive. No one is in a position to "hate" you. No one here knows you, nor anyone else who posts on a public...
