    I failed my preemployment drug test :/ what now...?

    jadelpn replied to Juankiters08's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You really, really REALLY don't want to get into a situation where you are attempting to pass off other people's urine. That is dishonest and unethical. And for every synthetic/other people's urine...

    Interview question help!

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

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

    And very unfortunately, if one were to physically fight back in this day and age, they would get in just as much if not more hot water than the perpetrator. There are many, many places of education,...

    Senior & confused!

    jadelpn replied to Jasmineramirez's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Every school is set up a little differently, but you can expect that it will more than likely be a mix of general ed courses that will satisfy that portion of the nursing program, and them perhaps a...

    jadelpn replied to Jason15215's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I am so sorry that this happened to you. AND that is the most outlandish thing I have ever heard of. Ever. Poppy Seeds are not drugs or alcohol. Who's clustered up idea was it to add poppy seeds to...

    Have you ever been bullied at your job?

    jadelpn replied to angelae250's topic in General Students

    I would start sending out your resumes. There is no reason that you need to be treated in such a manner. Because the MD owns the practice, there is no one to discuss this with, besides him. "Thank...

    Much like in the north--"Poor thing, he/she means well...." And "I will pray for you" All in all I take it as "Ya, OK, WHATEVER......" It is interesting that people seem to use these kinds of phrases...

    jadelpn replied to tina51486's topic in Home Health

    The person you are referencing, OP, could be a medical coder. In acute care, the medical records/coding department is usually not comprised of nurses. There are nurses who do chart checks, to be sure...

    Workplace Bullying

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

    Advice on creepy doctors?

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

    This is sexual harassment, as pp have noted. And usually, there is a state number that you can call to report it. Then it is not a local thing, and brings it to a different level. Just as disturbing...

    Orientation, Time Management & Brain Sheets

    jadelpn replied to FinallyRNStatus's topic in General Nursing

    If time management is your issue, brain sheets are a lifesaver. If you can print out a general plan of care for each patient, do so, and highlight what you need to, red pen orders by folding the...

    Doctors Orders

    jadelpn replied to NGYSUN's topic in Medical-Surgical

    You are not wrong. A nurse usually can't start putting in random lab orders until an MD decides what they would like to order. So unless you have standing orders for labs based on certain...
