  1. Nurses Masquerading As Doctors (INSULTING)

    JerseyBSN replied to djaychris's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I prefer a Nurse Practitioner who has time to listen to my concerns than a doctor who simply wants to write me a prescription

  2. Nurses with nose piercings?

    JerseyBSN replied to Chameleonchick's topic in General Nursing

    You'll have to leave the nose piercing at home. Not professional image for a

  3. Possibly the Quickest $2000 Ive Spent!!

    JerseyBSN replied to dslpninla's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You can do it! My friend said make sure to be prepared to write a care plan and act like a new graduate RN not an LPN with experience. Good Luck! Let us know how you

  4. Is it only hard for Asn and Bsn nurses to get hired?

    JerseyBSN replied to UpstateNyDollCna's topic in General Nursing

    I think the right path is to get your ASN, get a job, get experience and then work on your BSN online. Usually the employer will help pay for it

  5. Nasty email from CNS

    JerseyBSN replied to Cg-RN's topic in General Nursing

    I have nothing to add except that I'm truly sorry for what you're going

  6. Is it fine to email my supervisor/boss for any concerns I may have?

    JerseyBSN replied to italiansugar's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'd give the supervisor/nurse manager more credit. I'd ask directly if there is a problem with "you". If she says no then I seriously doubt she'd throw you under the bus in the middle of a

  7. College Network Rep. "LIAR"

    JerseyBSN replied to Ginger Snapp's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I know others who have been lied to by a College Network Rep. They lead people to believe that they are associated with Excelsior College and there's absolutely no truth to that.

  8. Drug seekers

    JerseyBSN replied to Athena904's topic in General Nursing

    You'll have to treat the patient just like any other patient. It's the doctors call whether or not the patient gets pain medication. We can't judge

  9. Burnout is creeping up on me...advice needed please

    JerseyBSN replied to optimist's topic in General Nursing

    I think you are confusing home health with private duty. I've done private duty and yes they are all vents and peds and the pay is awful. Home health is intermittant visits to the patients home for...

  10. Medication administration in deltoid muscle

    JerseyBSN replied to keludtke's topic in General Nursing

    I've given up to 2cc in the deltoid. It depends on the size of the patient and their arm. Some arms are as big as some patients buttock. There have been some little bitty old ladies who I wouldn't put...

  11. Would you take a pay cut?

    JerseyBSN replied to nicu4me's topic in General Nursing

    It depends. If I were miserable where I was and could move to another position where I would be happy and not always stressed out then I would definitely take a cut in pay. Somethings are more...

  12. How long can a recommendation letter be used?

    JerseyBSN replied to new.grad's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think prospective employers ask for or care about letters of recommendation anymore. Let's face it, they could be forged. Not saying that you would but you know what I mean. Prospective...

  13. Rehab Nursing advice please...not a real nurse?

    JerseyBSN replied to leolomb's topic in Rehabilitation

    Do not pay attention to those people. If you have a license you are a real nurse. If the rehab floor requires a licensed nurse work on their floor then you are a real nurse. There are many different...

  14. Personal info was shared -HIPPA violation?

    JerseyBSN replied to Quienes's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Why do you need to be involved in the HIPAA violation? It sounds like the family called and reported it and now it's between the patient and the hospital

  15. Morbidly obese residents

    JerseyBSN replied to Mommy&RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    My facility will take morbidly obese patients, they have to order a special big bed that converts to a chair. We need 6-8 people to do care on a morbidly obese patient. Inserting a foley is a...

  16. Nurse Visit Cost insulin tx

    JerseyBSN replied to TemeculaGuy's topic in General Nursing

    I would NOT touch

  17. What was the lowest diastolic bp you have seen?

    JerseyBSN replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    34/17 in the ER. Had mistakenly taken extra BP pills. 2000cc bolus of NS brought it back up to 122/60. Stayed for about 4 hours and released. I've seen patients with a diastolic in the 40's and...

  18. I passed the NCLEX is that a garuntee for me to be a nurse?

    JerseyBSN replied to LTmurse78's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congratulations!

  19. Fired from my med/surg job after almost 3 years

    JerseyBSN replied to gettingbsn2msn's topic in General Nursing

    You are lucky in the fact that they are allowing you to turn in a resignation and will give you a reference. It would be much harder to find a job with a termination and no reference. I understand...

  20. Falsly accussed of diversion

    JerseyBSN replied to calk's topic in Nurses Recovery

    The whole story makes no sense to me. None at all. If you didn't divert, you didn't divert. Why take a plea deal for 6 months? Sorry I can't help, I guess I'm not understanding this situation at

  21. Has anyone read Conti-O'hare's books?

    JerseyBSN replied to tokebi's topic in General Nursing

    I have actually read several. I was considering psych nursing but after reading the books, although they were good, I decided psych just wasn't for me so I went to L&D and not sure it's going to...

  22. Nurses Rock!

    JerseyBSN replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I love it! I saw it on FB and that's what led me

  23. ADN or BSN...how much does it really matter?

    JerseyBSN replied to mom23boyz's topic in General Nursing

    I got my RN and began working and then did my RN-BSN online part-time. I only got my BSN because when my kids are grown I plan to go back for my MSN and

  24. Favorite Dr or Nurse Name

    JerseyBSN replied to sethmctenn's topic in Nursing Humor
