    Would you send this patient to the unit?

    jadelpn replied to Birdy2's topic in Patient Safety Issues

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

    I would have a professional job coach look over both your resume and suggest ways to make it better, as well as coach you in interview skills. Some of the interview questions are a little out there,...

    LPN IV scope

    jadelpn replied to Wigglerwilli's topic in Ohio Nursing

    It all depends on if the facility/agency will allow you to do it. There are a lot of states that are clear that the only thing an LPN can not do is to direct an RN clinically. The rest is up to...

    Quitting CNA job and who do I give my notice to?

    jadelpn replied to wjxn's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    And in said letter, I wouldn't use "overwhelmed" or any other negative or can be perceived as negative comments regarding the facility. Nor that you have decided that being a CNA is "not for you"....

    Clinical lesson learned

    jadelpn replied to Cruz.Cookie's topic in General Students

    First and foremost, I am sorry that this happened to you. Secondly, I find it interesting that the school chose to drop you from the program with one semester left, and I assume with no refund on...

    jadelpn replied to Kyliemarie8588's topic in General Nursing

    We can not give medical advice per AN TOS however, there is a protocol that your company has. You need to have conversation with them about this immediately. If they do not, I would see your primary...

    social media problem

    jadelpn replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Just a word of advice, OP. Never put your place of employment on social media. Go and take it off. Literally now. When you list your place of employment, it can be used against you should you enjoy...

    CNA impersonating RN

    jadelpn replied to Heaven-Leigh's topic in General Nursing

    Well, after continuing to read this thread... If there is a picture of said person with RN clearly on a badge, then yes, this is fraudulent. What I fail to understand even a little is that if this is...

    Ask for advice (then explain why it's wrong)

    jadelpn replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    We live in such a validating society. If you re-word, re-hash, and rewind something long enough, someone is bound to agree. Then you can re-work parts of a whole to suit one's own needs. THEN one...

    jadelpn replied to Spikey9001's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I would have this conversation with an attorney. If you have a written offer letter, there's a fine print that reads "contingent upon back round check..." When you had communication with your old...

    Unsolicited Warnings....

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

    Just take what they say and tuck it away for now. "Thank you so much for your concern!" and go about your day. Be mindful not to get involved in all of the "this unit stinks" talk. It can only...

    Nurse Tracking Device

    jadelpn replied to RN_Pink's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. I have not heard of this system, however, wouldn't one's documentation suggest that they are in a room in order to scan meds, when one documents personal care, and the like? Not to mention video...

    Guidance on Staffing Models Please

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

    Hire CNAs, let the unit secretaries do their jobs. Hire per diem 1:1 sitters for the fall risks. Hire as many per diem, part time, weekend only nurses as you can. And don't forget the LPN! They can...

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

    This may seem like a dumb question, but why in the world is this patient using a bedpan? Can they not walk to bathroom? Can they not get up to a bedside commode? If the patient is awaiting...

    CNA impersonating RN

    jadelpn replied to Heaven-Leigh's topic in General Nursing

    CNA impersonating RN

    jadelpn replied to Heaven-Leigh's topic in General Nursing

    This could be all assumptions and subjective. What are "nurses wages" anyways? And are we sure that the person in question has "RN" on her nametag? The RN on the nametag would be the fraud part of...

    Interventions for denial

    jadelpn replied to JF94's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ah, denial is not just a river in Egypt!! The only thing you can do is educate, ask for other disciplines to work with the patient, reinforce what a patient can do for themselves. Best
