  2. Wrote a doctor up!!!

    jkaee replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    Good for you, and good for your administration that actually listens to their nurses and looks into inappropriate doctor behavior, instead of just sweeping it under the rug! Keep us

  3. Education vs. Experience

    jkaee replied to amullis's topic in General Nursing

    :yeahthat:

  4. Hourly wage difference

    jkaee replied to Inquisitive one's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Well, the way I've understood it is that the unit manager assumes total responsibility for the running of the unit, while the shift supervisor is responsible for the whole building for just that...

  5. the neverending med pass

    jkaee replied to FROGGYLEGS's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    These are all the reasons why I left LTC nursing after 10 years. I love the geriatric population. They are my people, and I love caring for them. However, like it's been stated, it's just a pill...

  6. Hello

    jkaee replied to blueroses's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Blueroses....I worked primarily LTC and subactue care for 10 years, with a couple of jobs in a hospital in between. Like it was stated before, start your med pass as soon as you are finished report....

  7. Adoption Issues

    jkaee replied to Priddyeyez's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I will tell you that I received absolutely nothing from the adoptive parents. They didn't even know they were getting her until the day before I left the hospital. They had exactly 24 hours to get...

  8. Adoption Issues

    jkaee replied to Priddyeyez's topic in Ob/Gyn

    WHOA WHOA WHOA!!!! I am really sorry for what you had to go through, but speaking as a birth mother, I have to tell you that obviously there was something wrong with your adoption because the ONLY way...

    Nursewannabe....I just wanted you to know the I was thinking about you just the other day. I hope that you are taking care of yourself, and know that I will continue to pray for you and your family....

  10. I guess I'm a florist now too....

    jkaee replied to IloveSnoopy's topic in General Nursing

    No, you were right about the point of the OP's post. I was simply referring to my instance, and the fact that even though a request may not be part of what our job is as a nurse, it can sometimes be...

  11. I guess I'm a florist now too....

    jkaee replied to IloveSnoopy's topic in General Nursing

    Acutally, sometimes I think you make more of a mountain out of a molehill if you don't do something like that once and a while. No, we're not florists, and no, I wouldn't do it if I absolutely...

  12. I guess I'm a florist now too....

    jkaee replied to IloveSnoopy's topic in General Nursing

    When I saw the title of your post, I had to stop for a minute and try to remember if I wrote it. The EXACT same thing happened to me this weekend at work, except I had to do it for the family members...

  13. Jay Leno slams nurses!

    jkaee replied to grace90's topic in General Nursing

    :yelclap: :bowingpur Thank you for being so articulate. Wonderful

  14. I had some trouble with a CNA...should I talk to the manager?

    jkaee replied to bth44's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, while there is no excuse for her hitting you, I think you acted a bit immaturely, as well. I know that you were just kidding, but there are some people out there that don't take sarcasm that...

  15. Jay Leno slams nurses!

    jkaee replied to grace90's topic in General Nursing

    I kinda figured that it was just an example......besides, I don't discuss politics with anyone but my family....it can get too

  16. Jay Leno slams nurses!

    jkaee replied to grace90's topic in General Nursing

    You make perfect sense, Tweety. I understand what you are saying, and do agree with it. While I don't think saying, "It's only a joke" is insulting, the "get a life" part of it is. However, you are...

  17. Incident or not?

    jkaee replied to NurCrystal22's topic in General Nursing

    :yeahthat: Other staff members shouldn't even be involved in this decision. Bring it quietly to you manager and let her handle it. Since you found the error, you might have to write up the report,...

  18. Nurses all come from DYSFUNCTIONAL backgrounds??

    jkaee replied to jodyangel's topic in General Nursing

    I think that the manager herself is probably feeling extremely pressured (probably from her higher ups) and is grasping and anything and everything to get the unit back on track. While I don't think...

  19. Jay Leno slams nurses!

    jkaee replied to grace90's topic in General Nursing

    ITA. And I also agree with the other poster who stated that Jay wasn't bashing nurses per se, but rather making fun of the fact that "nurses" (and pizza delivery guys, or the pool cleaning boy) are...

  20. Ode to Preceptors from a new RN..

    jkaee replied to AMARTIN1's topic in General Nursing

    That was a great post....I hope your preceptor gets to read it! Even for us "seasoned" nurses, starting a new job in a new facility is daunting. With my current job, I was paired up with a nurse that...

  21. hypertension during pregnancy

    jkaee replied to athomas91's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I just wanted to add something along with everyone else's good advice. Even if you are not having any of the classic textbook symptoms of pre-eclampsia, but you are just not feeling "right", get...

  22. I was FIRED today!

    jkaee replied to kwagner_51's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone else here has given some good advice....I wish you well. You will find another job....good luck to

  23. What's your nursing weakness?

    jkaee replied to Aneroo's topic in General Nursing

    Aneroo, mine would be lab values, too. I know it's just a matter of memorization, and I keep telling myself that I'm going to study them, but I never seem to get around to it! So, you're not alone...

  24. Seeking Advice

    jkaee replied to FutNurseStudent2008's topic in General Nursing

    Destany, Good for you for having the forsight to look ahead and see what you need for your future. I know I didn't think that far ahead! I think the best advice I could give you is to go to your...

  25. "What do you need Christmas off for? You don't have kids!" (rant)

    jkaee replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, these parents are missing a great opportunity to teach their children about putting other people's needs in front of their own. My oldest daughter was disappointed about my holiday...
