    I need some advice

    Jory replied to mphilomena's topic in General Nursing

    The first question you need to ask yourself...where do you want to spend your career? Yes, you hear about these amazing skills that hospital RN's have, all the technical skills they get to learn, etc....

    Having Issues with pumping at work

    Jory replied to AJ1980's topic in General Nursing

    Can't you go to an empty patient room and close the door? That is what many of the nurses do here. To those that are encouraging her to filing a formal complaint...let's be honest..you have to be...

    What is my right to transfer to another unit

    Jory replied to riken25's topic in Nursing Career

    Legally, you don't have a "right" to transfer to another unit. I would ask human resources what the policy is. Our facility passed a measure about two years ago that if a nurse had been in their...

    "Loosing" my license

    Jory replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I find this interesting...in our facility, RN's don't touch epidural IV's...only the CRNA's or anesthesiologists. They don't place them, remove them, or manage them. Was it connected to a pump? It...

    "Loosing" my license

    Jory replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, the nursing schools are doing this to students. I was an older student and it was all I could do to roll my eyes every time they exaggerated it. To younger nurses I say this: Look at your BON...

    Hostile Work Environment

    Jory posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have a friend that works as an RN for a clinic. She's been there about three years and works for exceeding low pay. She loves the patient population and the schedule and it's the only reason she is...

    Hostile Work Environment

    Jory replied to Jory's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I just wanted to thank everyone for their responses. I have told her for a year to leave her job. We have all worked with horrible nurses...she would probably donate an organ herself to save a...

    Rn being trained by lpn?

    Jory replied to studentnurse9806's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If you are in RN school, this is perfectly acceptable. The LPN's at the hospital where I was in school had the most direct patient care and passed most of the medications. The RN's were in charge....

    Visitation during handoff

    Jory replied to maxx12's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Our unit used to be closed and now it's open (for several months) and it was the worst decision ever made. First, there is no HIPAA violation because of the close proximity of the quarters and that is...

    Job Hunt w/ Arrest Record

    Jory replied to MauriceLPN's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    The only way you are going to know is to call a lawyer and ask. There is no guarantee, but you have a greater chance of an expungement of an arrest if you were never convicted and especially if the...

    As an OB Nurse how do you deal with emotions toward drug using mothers to be?

    Jory replied to tx2stepper's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Drug Moms come in one of two categories: (there is no in-between) 1. The truly regretful. 2. The ones that don't care...it's an inconvenience for them and they cannot understand why everyone is in...

    The Insanity That Is APA in Nursing School

    The Insanity That Is APA in Nursing School

    Jory replied to The_Optimist's topic in General Students

    I'm in my early 40's and I was taught APA format in high school back in 1983, before it even became the standard in colleges. I completely disagree that APA is confusing or even a waste of time. We...

    Most shocking thing you've seen another nurse do?

    Jory replied to SuzieVN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Get out her cell and text in the middle of a code. Yes, she still kept her job..didn't even get a write up. That's what happens when you are connected with the write

    Jory replied to WineCountryRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I'm not an educator (I'm in an MSN program) but at our school we were given 1 minute per question from Day 1. Our first test we were given 10 extra minutes, the second one, we were given five extra...

    Jory replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    What do you think of 12 hour shifts?

    Jory replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    Exactly, and we don't at the hospital. You can be scheduled to work six days in a row, come in for one day in a stretch or get only one day off in a six day stretch. If you work nights, your first...
