    Full length modest scrub skirts

    Jory replied to WannaBNursey's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Not sure where you live, but even though I am not Pentecostal, I live where the religion has a common presence. I would be realistic...slits on skirts are not there for fashion...they are there to...

    Help, my school won't allow me to take Nclex.

    Jory replied to Jdv13's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    READ the OP's original post! She never said she missed any exams..she was 100% done...she just didn't attend the graduation ceremony. All she did was wait a year....what I don't understand is why the...

    Help, my school won't allow me to take Nclex.

    Jory replied to Jdv13's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'll be honest with you...I have issues with this story. First of all, the school doesn't "allow" you to take the NCLEX, the board of nursing does. You register for the exam and they send you...

    What do you wear under scrubs?

    Jory replied to granolatrees's topic in General Students

    The only thing that I wear under my scrubs is my underwear. I too, get really hot and I do not understand how people can wear t-shirts or tanks under their scrubs. If you visit a quality store that...

    give NOW medication 1.5 hr late, what kind of trouble I am in

    Jory replied to treeye's topic in General Nursing

    What I find interesting is out of everyone that has posted....only ONE person wondered if the OP was even aware a new order had been written. The physicians in my facility are responsible for either...

    RN Struggling After Neonatal Death

    Jory replied to jndavis21's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I would ask for a review...not for blame, but to find out if anything could be done different next time. This baby would most likely have not survived even if it had been in the NICU, because of the...

    Does everyone find the WHNP specialty as limiting in the job market as I do?

    Jory replied to Higgly Wiggly's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Your experience level is very valuable...I don't understand why you wouldn't be able to get a job in another OB/GYN office with your level of experience. That surprises

    Why do umbilical lines help infants in respiratory stress?

    Jory replied to LucyRn4's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Umbilical lines, by rule of thumb, are only good for about 7 days, but sometimes if the baby is super early (23 weeks, etc), they will leave them in longer, but a kid has to either be really small or...

    Im a new hire and im pregnant

    Jory replied to newnurse1986's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If you do not have a maternity benefit (worst case scenario), then it falls under your short term disability benefit..your employer either provided this to you at no cost OR you had to elect to pay...

    ADN's being pushed out

    That...I can understand...I would say that plagues a lot of ICU

    ADN's being pushed out

    Jory replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I can tell you the reason for it. BSN grads are more likely to go get their NP and thus, leave. If you hire an ADN, you know she is at minimum, 4 years from that goal. My facility did a similar...

    ADN's being pushed out

    Jory replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I have never understood the BSN/ADN debate. They are not the same in terms of education...period. Sorry if that offends anyone, but that is just how the world works. When I got my BSN after my ADN,...

    Im a new hire and im pregnant

    Jory replied to newnurse1986's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Don't confuse the two....pregnancy being a disability versus being treated as a disability for benefit purposes are two different things. Any corporation I have ever worked for in 25 years has treated...

    I take a children's benadryl to help me sleep...it's just enough to where you don't feel

    Im a new hire and im pregnant

    Jory replied to newnurse1986's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Childbirth is treated like any other short-term disability. So if your doctor writes you out for 4 weeks, six weeks, whatever, that is what you get. You need to check with your facility policy to...

    Jory replied to newnurse1986's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't understand the need to tell your boss at all until something comes up until you need to ask for a restriction, such as an isolation patient (yes, I know, it shouldn't matter, but good nurses...

    Jehovah's Witness and Blood Refusal in OR

    Jory replied to sugarik13's topic in Operating Room

    This would be a question for either the legal department or the ethics committee. Since you would be the one to hang the blood, you need to know what your ground would be if you honored the consent...

    What Is The Deal With All The Highly Educated & Professionals Becoming RNs?

    Jory replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Honey...I am in my early 40's and I consider myself to have grown up in the electronic age. I didn't get the internet until I was 28 years old in my house, but I had my first computer at age 12 and my...

    What Is The Deal With All The Highly Educated & Professionals Becoming RNs?

    Jory replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    I would disagree with some of this and here is why. Most MD's are going into a specialty, rather than general practice. There is a huge gap in primary care physicians...and who do you think is going...

    What Is The Deal With All The Highly Educated & Professionals Becoming RNs?

    Jory replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Depends on where you live. Top pay for an RN (with certification) around here, working 36 hours a week (12-hour shifts), is about $68K (that is factoring maxing out every hospital incentive program,...

    What Is The Deal With All The Highly Educated & Professionals Becoming RNs?

    Jory replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    People are shocked when I tell them, "There is a nursing shortage for experienced nurses, there is NO shortgage for new nurses" and it is the truth. The fact is...the pay is so bad for new nurses that...

    Uthsc Memphis - DNP students

    Jory replied to 2BlessedRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree..I bought a book ONCE that had writing in it and it drove me crazy. What I do is buy from highly rated resellers that have books in "like new" condition. They will usually specify that it has...
