    Why can't we all just get along?

    jadelpn replied to milesims's topic in General Students

    You can only do what you can do. Maybe it is nervousness that they won't get a job, they can't form their own business, they are up to their eyeballs in debt with no clear plan or goal. Whatever. You...

    Micromanaging

    jadelpn replied to MMC.RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If management is not responding, but know what is happening it is on them. They could be creating a paper trail against her, who knows. You do not have 18 gauge blunt syringes? Perhaps that is...

    was this a HIPPA violation or not.

    jadelpn replied to Aemt1129's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I am not sure it was a HIPAA violation per se, but most certainly a privacy violation. How did this EMT know that the parent was in police custody? Perhaps after being medically cleared by the EMT's?...

    ABG Results, Explain this to me....

    jadelpn replied to MillsAnthonyRNTL's topic in Critical Care

    Love this question, and the answers. I learn something all the time. Thank you. I am throwing it out there--Is there a difference between what you would see on an arterial blood gas and a venous...

    Administration hovering and criticizing

    jadelpn replied to JerseyTomatoMDCrab's topic in School

    So now OP, you need to start a campaign of seat belts on busses, and that EMS is called and waiting for anyone who is injured on the bus. That should go over well. You did the right thing. I would...

    Why do some nurses "hate their jobs"?

    jadelpn replied to iculvr's topic in General Nursing

    I think some people aspire to be nurses because of a hands on/critical thinking combo. So I don't think some people are "built" to be nurses. Bedside has become rather robotic with a chicken with...

    Am I too optimistic about paying off loans?

    jadelpn replied to TravelRhythm's topic in General Nursing

    Will $1500 be your take home pay? If not, you need to consider taxes and any other deductibles--health insurance, dental, union dues--whatever is taken out. You also need to consider your housing....

    junior high student thinks she is pregs

    jadelpn replied to crazynursebsn's topic in School

    Ah, boys. That is the "excuse" they use for oral/anal intercourse to completion.....if not, it gets EVERYWHERE and you could get pregnant..... It is the 2000's version of pulling out/just let me put...

    If you were a stripper and have nude photos ten years ago will you get hired?

    jadelpn replied to RNHS's topic in General Nursing

    Were you underage at the time? I would use the report function on whatever social media you find these pictures. So unless you were underage, stripping is not illegal. Neither is "modeling" nude...

    Help!!!! Advice needed!!!

    jadelpn replied to Klr1122's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Depends on where the jobs are in your area. If there's no jobs for LPN's then I would start an RN program. If there are LPN jobs, then I would do the LPN, work for awhile, then do a bridge program....

    bathroom accidents

    jadelpn replied to CalamityJane08's topic in School

    I would think at this point, the child needs a plan in place. As part of an IEP. That there is an aide who toilets him every 2 hours and PRN. An occupational therapist. A counselor. There are kids...

    LPN-EMT-RN?

    jadelpn replied to HopefulRN7's topic in General Nursing

    There are some states that will allow an RN to "comp" the EMT training and just test. You will have to see if your state is one of them. It certainly could give you something a little more as far...

    Blind Sided

    jadelpn replied to trgopie's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    When you attributed the issues to them, you are correct. Don't mix work with establishing friendships. You can be appropriate and professional without making friends at work. There are many ICU...

    Recovering addict needing some advice or anyone that cares to listen please

    jadelpn replied to RCLPN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Perhaps the DON was fired because she was diverting and blaming everyone else? Sorry that this happened to you. What is crazy to me is that this person made it personal by pressing charges HERSELF?...

    Boldness to Speak

    jadelpn replied to Parakeet's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Bipolar Bible Bingo. Pick and choose which parts of the Good Book you would like to follow and repent about the rest.... Sigh. Jesus may be the way, the truth, and the light for any number of nurses....

    junior high student thinks she is pregs

    jadelpn replied to crazynursebsn's topic in School

    Usually privately owned, or owned by an anti-abortion church group, these "pregnancy centers" are just a front for "we have lots of people who will adopt your child" or "we will help you if you keep...

    sneakers/shoes

    jadelpn replied to heather717's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    For the first time I stepped away from the sneakers (a Nike running shoe--they are comfy but needed new pair of shoes), I have to be careful of sneakers--sounds silly, but if the sneaker has a leather...

    Rumor mill at work

    jadelpn replied to Chrissygraduatenurse's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry this happened to you. I have heard of nurses getting spoken to because of how they smell--"is that cigarette smoke" "you need a mint" to "your perfume is too overpowering" and everything in...

    junior high student thinks she is pregs

    jadelpn replied to crazynursebsn's topic in School

    Shouldn't CPS be involved in this child's life? We are talking about a child at risk who is engaging in activity that could lead to another child at risk. Call me crazy, but I think an IUD would be...

    My husband doesn't want me on ALLNURSES

    I am so reading between the lines of your post, however, it is not always ideal to have a spouse who is dictating your activity. Be

    Student's hygiene?

    jadelpn replied to zombieghoast's topic in School

    This makes me so sad. Parents need to be on board with this, and not to the detriment of the child--in other words him getting in trouble at home over accidents. And a 7 year old having multiple...

    Accepted to FNP program, an $80,000 student loan worth it? I need advice!

    jadelpn replied to Aik0's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I would never, ever take out loans of that size especially with a new baby and other obligations. You could continue to work as a nurse, perhaps somewhere that has a good tuition reimbursement...

    Resignation dilemma

    jadelpn replied to Nursiology's topic in General Nursing

    If you leave the residency, is there financial obligations that you have to satisfy? Are you here working on a visa or some other program? In other words, once you leave the country, will you have...

    Outgoing LVN refuses to do a Narc Count

    jadelpn replied to CaliBoy760's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Any other nurse can do the narcotic count with you. I would ask the offgoing nurse to find a nurse willing count narcs with you, and hand THEM the keys. You accepting the keys at the start of your...
