    You'll find nurses on here are more than happy to help you with your assignment..as long as you show what you have done first. We are not going to do your assignment for

    Write Up's and Potential Termination for Pain Reassessments

    Jory replied to MiralaxOnIceRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have heard the staff nurses talk they want a pain reassessment on ALL meds where you can register a response. This even includes antiemetics. The problem is that if they want nurses to do this,...

    What the hot fudge is going on here?!?!?

    Jory replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    It's because we have people using junk websites on Dr. Google and listening to a college drop-out that was so "talented" her only claim to fame was taking her clothes off for the camera that had no...

    Another Tragedy at Vanderbilt

    Jory replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Actually...no. In Tennessee INTENT is not part of the charge nor in most states. If she intentionally meant to kill the patient, they would charge her with murder. Homicide is not the same as murder....

    For-Profit NP admissions... I thought they were joking!

    Jory replied to SummitRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    I looked at Walden several years ago when their FNP program was new. I asked them for statistics on their graduation rates for MSN students and they couldn't give me that information. Then they sent...

    Do I have to disclose mental illness

    Jory replied to NurseChaiPls's topic in General Nursing

    It's because it's not asked. They are cherry picking as to which illnesses they keep to be more of a threat. If you want to get technical about patient safety, there is far more than just mental...

    School Nurse vs Home Health

    Jory replied to tatyfreedom's topic in General Nursing

    The schedule for school nursing is great...not so great for a new grad. I don't think home health is a great place to learn either. School nursing: Low pay, great schedule, and in most cases, state...

    Do I have to disclose mental illness

    Jory replied to NurseChaiPls's topic in General Nursing

    ...and this is a great reason not to work in California. So if someone had a baby 9 years ago and needed an SSRI to get through PPD or needed counseling (all mental illness is not psychosis) after...

    For-Profit NP admissions... I thought they were joking!

    Jory replied to SummitRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    Well, in your defense, I think that schools like UofP were very different in terms of their online programs 10 or 15 years ago. In fact, I looked into the school myself and decided on a different...

    Jory replied to medteleER's topic in General Nursing

    We have patients admitted to the hospital every day that forget they have already taken their BP meds, take another dose, and bottom out. So yes, the duration of action and drug class absolutely...

    Jory replied to medteleER's topic in General Nursing

    Can you copy and paste where I said LTC is EQUAL to "crappy nursing". Oh that's right...gosh, I never said that did I? Seems like you have a literacy issue if you didn't catch that I was...

    Do I have to disclose mental illness

    Jory replied to NurseChaiPls's topic in General Nursing

    Nobody should have trouble lying about questions that should not be asked. Only about 12 years ago, my former nursing school used to conduct interviews. One of the interview questions was "How do...

    For-Profit NP admissions... I thought they were joking!

    Jory replied to SummitRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    Do you know why someone with those credentials works for Walden: Money. Walden pays better than most of them. The reason Walden is getting bashed is because the vast majority of their exams are NOT...

    Jory replied to SummitRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    I tried to be nice and precept ONE student from a big, huge, "for-profit" school. After four weeks I dismissed her from the clinical site. She wasn't even close to being prepared. I do not have...

    For-Profit NP admissions... I thought they were joking!

    Jory replied to SummitRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    Our hospital sent out an email, about eight months ago, placing employees on notice that no degrees from online, FOR-PROFIT schools would be accepted for new employees or new degrees, regardless of...

    Do I have to disclose mental illness

    Jory replied to NurseChaiPls's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think this request by your school is appropriate. They can require a physical exam but only relevant aspects of your health history are required to be disclosed. You are still entitled to...

    Jory replied to medteleER's topic in General Nursing

    Would you have given two meds that impacted blood pressure? No, you would not because you don't want your patient to bottom out. It may be "common" in long term care, but it's called crappy nursing...

    would you tell a manager how toxic her floor is?

    Jory replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you 100%...but what I learned in hospitals years ago or any job for that matter, when you are the one leaving, they could care less about that person's opinion on what is wrong. If...

    would you tell a manager how toxic her floor is?

    Jory replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    Hard core honest? I'll tell you why I wouldn't...you are leaving and she is probably a nurse that won't take your suggestions to heart anyway. That's why her floor is toxic. I got a new manager once...

    Interesting case of the spilled pills

    Jory replied to KCMnurse's topic in General Nursing

    This is a great example that as a nurse, you have to stand your ground if you think something is wrong, even if it costs you your job. Better to look for another job with a clean record, than look...

    Working on weekends!

    Jory replied to PubSub's topic in General Nursing

    You are going to have to give up something...give up the military, give up becoming a nurse practitioner, because you sure as heck can't give up being a wife and mother. That trumps everything else....
