    CNM or NP as next step for a new grad?

    Jory replied to BBeers7's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    If you want to be an NNP before you can apply to a program, you have to have two years of Level III NICU experience. As part of the NICU team, you'll get to be present for a lot of births and if you...

    How can I handle this

    Jory replied to Flossy73's topic in General Nursing

    Uh..I'm a little confused why you were not more clear that the nurse lied to your supervisor and chose the patients herself. Seems like that is the easiest way to clear this up. You were more miffed...

    I'm Shocked

    Jory replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    While true, it's a little scary that this physician resident doesn't know the most critical code in the hospital where he is doing his

    Verbally Abusing a Nurse

    Jory replied to Hk30's topic in General Nursing

    To me, this is not shocking. Hospitals tolerate physicians abusing nurses. Hospitals tolerate nurses abusing other nurses. Is it ok? Absolutely not...but this is why it happens. The PG surveys...

    Nurse Gives Lethal Dose of Vecuronium Instead of Versed

    Jory replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe it's just me but I see something far more simple. The nurse pulled a drug that was clearly not the one she was searching for. This wasn't even a case of a similar sounding drug. This was a...

    Accused of not giving dilaudid

    Jory replied to KMULL002's topic in General Nursing

    They can drug test the patient for levels. I have seen physicians order it before and tell the patient why they need to draw them. The patients that lie back off VERY

    Mandatory Vaccination

    Jory replied to degfnp's topic in General Nursing

    What about reactions from the vaccine? I had a co-worker that ended up in the ER and had a three day hospital stay after her flu shot. HR told her it didn't fall under workman's comp and she had to...

    Mandatory Vaccination

    Jory replied to degfnp's topic in General Nursing

    So every place pays the same? No, it doesn't not sweetie. In my area you can work for the hospital or you can take a $10 to $15 an hour pay cut at a clinic. That's not really a

    Mandatory Vaccination

    Jory replied to degfnp's topic in General Nursing

    My facility will fire you the day after the deadline. Not suspend you, fire you. So feel lucky you get a choice to wear a mask. I don't agree with it either and feel the practice should be

    How do you deal with angry/upset with patients?

    Jory replied to Karlie2114's topic in General Nursing

    I have had a lot of de-escalation training and the biggest piece of advice I can give you...when they need to vent? Don't interrupt them. Let them talk, let them air it out. The first thing that you...

    Attending births with a CPM

    Jory replied to biggolp's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Nope, you cannot. It's a huge myth that exists when APRNs work in an RN role that needs to be squashed. I'll give you an unlikely example, but a good one on a "top of your license scenario". Let's...

    I broke my wrist - Can Nursing School Director force me to withdraw from school?

    Jory replied to Lorie Brown RN, MN, JD's topic in Nursing Career

    You have the same legal protections for a short-term disability as someone with a long-term disability. I have seen a medical student that had only one hand. So it depends on what you asked...

    Nurse educator? Nurse practitioner?.. help!!

    Jory replied to bmward0807's topic in Nursing Career

    Get your NP. Nurse educator is nice but it's hard to find jobs with only an MSN and education jobs are the first ones cut in hospitals. That's why there are always jobs available...those of us that...

    Vaccine med error

    Jory replied to LactivistRN's topic in Patient Medications

    Agreed. At my hospital we don't give any of the eyes/thighs/B until baby has a medication

    HIPAA Violation, Fired

    Jory replied to kosmopolitan's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    My advice is to take another HIPAA class because in all honestly you seem to be confused as to what a HIPAA violation entails. If it is not your patient and you are not doing something for the...

    I don't think i can be around this co-worker anymore.

    Jory replied to fulitarn's topic in General Nursing

    I am not trying to minimize what you are experiencing in any way because he is beyond stepping over the line. However, I do strongly feel that taking your power back and not leaving it to others, may...

    Is this discrimination?

    Jory replied to eacue10's topic in General Nursing

    According to the Joint Commission, unless you are a certified medical translater, you should not be doing any translating. You can speak in a language you are fluent in when you are directly taking...

    Nursing student in need of advice

    Jory replied to Morelaur288's topic in General Students

    Some nurses will tell you that you don't need to start on an ICU floor as a new grad. I disagree. Once you learn how to take care of the critically ill, everyone else is easy. You'll need to use...

    Fired for taking vacation

    Jory replied to cyc0sys's topic in General Nursing

    I never stated her boss was right. I also read the post correctly she knew she would lose her job. I don't know about you, but we need my income in my family. Jobs don't come easy where I live....

    Fired for taking vacation

    Jory replied to cyc0sys's topic in General Nursing

    You didn't get fired for taking a vacation. You got fired because you were excessively rude to your boss and didn't seem to understand you don't take time off if they don't approve it if you still...

    Non compliance?

    Jory replied to Glycerine82's topic in Patient Education

    No. Absolutely not. If that was true nobody would go into oncology because of all the lung cancer patients that won't stop smoking their two packs per
