    Hospitals fail to protect nursing staff from becoming patients

    jadelpn replied to catmom1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I can remember having PT come in and do inservice after inservice about how the nursing staff was to lift, turn, and reposition appropriately. That somehow, we were not using "proper body mechanics"...

    What should I do now?

    jadelpn replied to RNhere's topic in General Nursing

    I would go anyways. It couldn't hurt, would get your name out there. Why not? You may have better luck at a hospital that is smaller, a community hospital, that type of thing. You could also try...

    jadelpn replied to Catch22Personified's topic in General Nursing

    Breathe. Just Breathe. You can only be one place at a time, and do one thing at a time. Watch your monitors, get to know your trends. Check you orders. Otherwise, if you need help from your...

    jadelpn replied to splow's topic in General Nursing

    I would look at all of the websites you can from these areas and see who takes new grads. I would also look into the licensing requirements of each state once you receive your license for the state...

    Frequency: N&T QID?

    jadelpn replied to hinesdrive's topic in General Nursing

    Call the MD, clarify the order. "Now and Today" sounds like the title of a soap opera as opposed to an MD order! Was this a written order? Could it have been transcribed incorrectly? N&T with...

    Passing fundamentals lpn student 2015

    jadelpn replied to Kez2success's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Never struggle with 2 right answers, and go with your first, gut instinct. Do not read into the question more than what it is asking you. Do not create scenarios and alternate stuff in your head (...

    Baby Sitting

    jadelpn replied to William2's topic in General Nursing

    You could watch kids, and charge an daily rate (or evening rate) and set your hours. You may find however that there are those who will take advantage of that--and drop the kid off at the light of...

    EMT-B and RN: Scope of practice limitations

    jadelpn replied to CamillusRN's topic in General Nursing

    EMT's are bound by both policy and medical direction. As an RN, you would be bound by those same circumstances when acting in the role of an EMT-B. I would find a way to get your paramedic ASAP....

    I am a new grad and think I don't want to take a bedside RN job, advice please.

    jadelpn replied to newgrad000's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You could also look into nurse informatics. There are many EMR companies who want RN's to be able to teach, implement, and/or troubleshoot facility EMR programs. Case management is also a thought....

    Feeling faint from the fear of fainting

    jadelpn replied to kristina5491's topic in General Nursing

    Make sure you are eating as you can before clinicals. Make sure you have in your pocket some sort of breakfast/granola bar. Anticipatory anxiety is also something that can be treated by a counselor....

    RN license investigation

    Help me figure out how to be happy!

    jadelpn replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    OP, perhaps it is more of a recognition thing as opposed to anything else. If you do good work, and you are resourceful, that should be an administrative role. Perhaps your goal is to be DON or a...

    jadelpn replied to sreswc's topic in General Nursing

    Not usually, but check on your state's BON website. In California, there are exam challenges (and not sure if Medic is one of them) but it allows for employment in CA only as I understand it. There...
