    Jenni811 replied to youshallbehealed's topic in General Nursing

    Jenni811 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Jenni811 replied to youshallbehealed's topic in General Nursing

    Jenni811 replied to Jenni811's topic in General Nursing

    Eeeeek. I brought it up to my manager in fear an issue like this may come up again. And we all had different opinions. I myself, would pace because the definition of DNR status is you CAN do things...

  8. DNR and pacing.

    Jenni811 replied to Jenni811's topic in General Nursing

    Jenni811 replied to pilot833's topic in General Nursing

  16. experience required for the hospital

    Jenni811 replied to LivelaughloveRN's topic in General Nursing

    nope. You move around too much. What does it tell employers when you stick at a place for 6 months and another for a year? You can't tell me the people who hired you knew you would only be working for...

  17. When are you not considered a "New Grad" anymore?

    Jenni811 replied to MyUserName,RN's topic in General Nursing

    I'd say 1-2 years. Because lets say your looking for a new job, MOST jobs will require 1-2 years experience. Anything less than that, you are still considered too new with not enough

    Jenni811 replied to EJBNeuroRN's topic in General Nursing

  24. What's your weird quirk?

    Jenni811 replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing
