  1. family member misinformed of mothers death.

    JerseyBSN replied to necie79's topic in General Nursing

    I don't get the humor but here's my take. How can the nurse be so flippant to just say your mother died? I would never, ever, speak to a family member whose loved one just died without collecting my...

  2. "No Complaints Voiced"??

    JerseyBSN replied to Hooch's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting thread. I chart no physical c/o voiced. I think I'll be changing that. Thank

  3. Anybody taken Statistics Online?

    JerseyBSN replied to MzTayTay's topic in General Students

    I did stats online, I'm not strong in math at all. I made a B. I studied a lot and took advantage of the online tutor provided by the school. Stay on top of the assignments, and made sure you...

  4. took NCLEX-> Failed

    JerseyBSN replied to kyle_99's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Do Not Give Up! You're by far not the only good student that has failed NCLEX. Pick yourself back up, and register to re-test. Maybe relax and have a small glass of wine before the test? Maybe it's...

  6. Why hire RN's when other disciplines can do the job

    JerseyBSN replied to Marisette's topic in General Nursing

    There are places that hire only RN's and LPN's and respect their nurses. I'm thankful to work in such a place. Yes the MA issue has been beat to death but it needs to be. Something needs to be done....

  7. RN-BSN Advice

    JerseyBSN replied to mmkrn's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    There are plenty of RN-BSN programs online without any clinical requirements. Check out Chamberlain College of Nursing online. I have heard only bad things about WGU nursing programs. If you want to...

  8. Ohio University FNP Online?

    JerseyBSN replied to JerseyBSN's topic in Ohio University

    The adviser I spoke to a couple of days ago said the program was 24-26 months. Each class is 7 weeks with one week off in between each class. $22,100 is the cost for the entire program, not including...

  9. Ohio University FNP Online?

    JerseyBSN replied to JerseyBSN's topic in Ohio University

    I spoke directly with an admissions counselor. I did some more research and it is a very good school and has all of the necessary

  10. A question for those who have been fired?

    JerseyBSN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was fired over a year ago. Once you've been fired are you constantly afraid at your new job that you'll get fired? Is it insecurity? Is it because you know the employer knows you were previously...

  11. Feeling sick but don't want to call out on first day of orientation

    JerseyBSN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I was going to say the same. If you have a fever, diarrhea or vomiting stay home. If not, suck it up, and get through it. Good

  12. A question for those who have been fired?

    JerseyBSN replied to JerseyBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Thank You for all of the honest answers. When my new employer hired me they said "we hire a lot of nurses who have been fired, it's common now-a-days". I am definitely in a better place. I guess it...

  14. Increase abuse of Bath Salts

    JerseyBSN replied to WendyBensonRN's topic in Addictions

    People are buying drugs such as Bath Salts, 7H, Bath Pearls, Plant Food, etc...at convenience markets. Apparently you have to know the lingo in order to buy these substances. You can't buy them by...

  15. Risk of exposure doing CPR

    JerseyBSN replied to DemonWings's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not understanding your entire post. You're a nurse? Why not start CPR immediately and let your son dial 911? You see a blue person slumped over and they don't appear to be choking, why check their...

  16. Which version of CPR is current?

    JerseyBSN posted a topic in General Nursing

    What is the latest version of CPR? 2008?

  17. Invalid drug test?

    JerseyBSN replied to Carolinathe3rd's topic in General Nursing

    Why would an invalid test not be a good sign? Invalid does not equal positive. The tests are either defective or their equipment is faulty. I wouldn't worry. Perhaps they just want a blood test...

  18. I cry after I see a baby born-can you give me some advice

    JerseyBSN posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I recently transferred from a med/surg floor to L&D. I've been orientating for 4 weeks now. My problem is that everytime a baby is born I start to cry, so much I can hardly do my job. Omg I think...

  19. Ready to toss in the towel

    JerseyBSN replied to chcgoblue's topic in General Nursing

    Start browsing the internet for jobs in your area and get an idea if and what is available. Sounds like you just need some new scenery and a change of

  20. One Lesson

    JerseyBSN replied to futurenurse913's topic in General Nursing

    NEVER be afraid to say "I don't know" and NEVER be afraid to say "I need a quick refresher on this

  21. WOW! The public really doesn't like us, huh?

    JerseyBSN replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    I saw this exact same post on another nursing forum. It wasn't written by the OP. What's up with

  22. Tell us about your Allnurses' experience/Journey

    JerseyBSN replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    I joined several weeks ago and I find the site very informative and friendly. My first experience with a nursing forum was less than desirable. (actually I don't believe they are really nurses) I know...

  23. charge nurse tried to make me go to work with allergic reaction

    JerseyBSN replied to thanx2mj's topic in General Nursing

    The charge nurse was only concerned with working short not with your health. You were correct to call in, you were correct to stay home. I'm sorry it happened to you on your first day working as a...

  24. Do RN's seem just as happy in their careers as Respiratory Therapist?

    JerseyBSN replied to northmississippi's topic in General Nursing

    I've heard respiratory therapists gripe just as much as nurses. Same pressures, just different

  25. MRI question

    JerseyBSN replied to nursein2012's topic in General Nursing

    If it was anything of importance the doctor's office would have called you by now. I suspect it's not an unusual finding and means
