  2. How to File a Complaint against BON

    JVoEDrn replied to twins2014's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  3. How long is your commute?

    JVoEDrn replied to the nurse who lived's topic in General Nursing

    45-50min commute. I don't mind it too much. A 45 min commute is pretty common on my end just Bc if traffic. I however do 45 min of the highway and don't really deal with traffic. Makes it so much...

  4. Random drug test

    JVoEDrn replied to ch710's topic in General Students

    My Unit (ED) does them but after speaking to a few people it's seems that they are not as random as one might think. They usually "randomly" test you after a vacation. One lady was tested 4x in one...

    JVoEDrn replied to demford's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  8. Am I going into the right profession or should I just

    JVoEDrn replied to Soon2beStudent's topic in Nursing Humor

    I can't tell if this is a serious question OP. So I will treat it as such. Nursing is not and should never be a "fall back" job. You are dealing with people and their lives. It is not something you do...

    JVoEDrn replied to Pride/hardwork17's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    JVoEDrn replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    Are you flushing before or after you've removed the needle to leave the catheter in place? It helps to remove the tourniquet once you've verified a flash. Going slow on the flush will preserve fragile...

  13. Nursing Dose

    JVoEDrn replied to guest449786's topic in Patient Medications

    I've heard it in the ED as a joke. "You should nurse dose that (annoying ) patient" It was the first time i heard it. But OBVIOUSLY it's not legal and out of our scope of practice. Explain THAT one in...

  14. Bedside Reporting

    JVoEDrn replied to Bluebell.'s topic in Medical-Surgical

    I don't mind it to much. It can be hassle when you can just give the gist of it all to the nurse coming on. But I'm doing my job when I do bedside rounding. They don't fight me on it when they see its...

  19. Really hope i didn't fail the interview!

    JVoEDrn replied to WorriedNurse25's topic in Correctional

    I think it's very normal to lose confidence as the days since your interview continue to pass. With my current job I left feeling 100% confident and smiling all the way to the car, they said they were...

    JVoEDrn replied to RookieRoo's topic in Critical Care

    I imagine that administering NSD5 is an attempt to keep the BGLs in a consistent range since a higher mortality rate is associated with hyper/hypo glycemia. Pts with TBI require strict glucose level...

  23. Chose med surg like I'm supposed to, but really unhappy.

    JVoEDrn replied to enytsyrhk572's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think if you're unhappy than move. You're doing your patients and yourself an injustice by hating your job and coming in "faking it". Sometimes the path people deem appropriate for you is NOT the...
