    GPA and Job Question!!!!!!

    Jory replied to DanielLopezz's topic in General Students

    Ok, I have to ask, did they actually tell you that you didn't get the job because of a 2.98 or are you assuming? Many specific internships require a certain GPA for students because they don't want...

    Verbally abusive patient, worried I could have handled the situation better

    Jory replied to NurseMom2016's topic in General Nursing

    A paper in the room tracking intake really should have been in the room. The nurses check on these at my facility throughout the shift as it makes it easier for the techs to grant immediate requests...

    New Grad as a Clinical Liaison

    Jory replied to Alison2209's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yes, don't take the job. It takes more than "some" clinical skills, you need to have at least one year of bedside experience before you'll really be able to understand the full scope and you'll be...

    giving morphine to neonate without CR monitoring

    Jory replied to nurse296's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Two of the largest hospitals in my region have private rooms specifically designed for NAS babies and the model is actually growing. There is no evidence that these babies have more adverse outcomes...

    Patient Rights and POA

    Jory replied to shannonh17's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    That is legal advice and they are not going to answer that question. However, I would report the situation to Risk Management. That physician needs additional

    Patient Rights and POA

    Jory replied to shannonh17's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    99.9% of people do not understand how a POA works. The POA only works if the patient themselves are unable to consent to a procedure. That means if the patient is alert and oriented, the patient gets...

    Pediatric Dosage Calculations...HELP!

    Jory replied to ALCCRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You won't have time to figure that in clinical either. Mainly because you don't know how it is supplied 9 times out of 10 in the pharmacy. So you will be missing a piece of the information. The...

    FNP who wants to work ICU

    Jory replied to anthhuang's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The whole certificate would be worthless if you could not. If you get your ACNP before your FNP, I would HIGHLY suggest you find a program that offers both and return for your post-master's...

    Has anyone been accepted into Frontier's FNP program with a 3.0?

    Jory replied to Sjl.wente's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    No, it means you have to wait for someone to give up their slot in order for them to move you off the wait

    Future of Women's Health NP or Family Primary Care NP?

    Jory replied to Amtrojan's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If you want to go into women's health, get your WHNP or CNM (or both, very easy to get both). If you don't care what area of nursing you are in, get your FNP. You are probably asking "Why get a CNM...

    NICU Before Moving to L&D

    Jory replied to Amtrojan's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm sorry, you could not be more incorrect. I live in a rural area and new grads are hired in L&D and the NICU all the time. There is no evidence at all to restrict new graduates from those...

    Why are nurses disrespected so much?

    Jory replied to fitfabfunnurse2b's topic in General Nursing

    There are three types of people that treat nurses the worst: 1. Other nurses (we are our own worst enemy and I blame this for the reason we are not more organized as a profession). 2....

    Self Administration

    Jory replied to Marija1's topic in General Nursing

    When you say, "Took too many at one time" do you mean quantity (swallowing too many at one time) or is your retirement home not doing med

    How do YOU deal with criticism outside of work?

    Jory replied to misskayy's topic in General Nursing

    If it's happening that frequently with several people, not trying to be mean but you need to look at the common

    nurses not using stethoscopes

    Jory replied to akint19's topic in General Nursing

    You are doing it right and if you are taking your own assignments, you practice the way you feel comfortable. Your co-workers are lazy. Caution: Don't wear the stethoscope around your neck while in a...

    Refusing to change/toilet pts

    Jory replied to ShockMe's topic in General Nursing

    If the patient simply needs minimal assistance to the room, I take them. If the patient is sitting on the pot and is a high fall risk (due to more than age, due to weakness, etc)...and a code or...

    Difficulties in Patient Care and Identification

    I'll be honest, this sounds like a homework question. Do your own work sweetie. If you need help, post what you have so far with sources. Make an

    HIPAA and Making Appointments

    Jory replied to Jolie's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I'll be honest, at 19 your daughter needs to make/cancel her own appointments. I have always found it strange when parents get involved in the healthcare of young adults that should be doing this on...

    Female patients at risk because of male patient?

    Hipaa violation-What happens to RN?

    Jory replied to xrayrn's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I don't think it's a fireable offense but she sure as heck needs to be written up for it. That is a major invasion. We had a unit secretary that told everyone that one of our nurses was in the ER at...

    Would this violate anything?

    Jory replied to Lee824's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    It is not a HIPAA violation because you are not "disclosing" anything to anyone but the mother. However, I don't approach people that I have treated in public unless they come up to me first and then...

    DNP changing perscribing authority

    Jory replied to Secel's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I completely disagree. Do you think LPN's and RN's should make the same because they "basically" do the same thing? Of course you don't. Same thing with a NP vs MD. NPs are absolutely needed in...

    Will I be targeted?

    Jory replied to Conflicted1's topic in General Nursing

    We had two toxic nurses in our unit. We got a new manager, They fired one and put the second one on notice that her days were numbered if she didn't change her attitude and suspended her for a week....

    Scheduling harassment

    Jory replied to NurseDisneyPrincess's topic in General Nursing

    My advice is to be accommodating to co-workers because it may be you that needs a day off and may be required to find your own replacement. If you get the reputation of not ever switching, aspect the...

    Hospice patient is requesting food, but the family denies her

    Jory replied to RNgemini's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, did you really just type this? What is the big deal? Is this the way you would want to go? Gasping for air and not being able to get it? Let's just get her a Big Mac so nobody has to...
