  1. Not a Nursing Question, but Has to Do with Work, So...

    SeattleJess replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    Such skillful replies... and they are helping me to pick MY jaw up off the floor. I think you are identifying a universal issue: when a kindness gets nudged over the line to an exploitation. It's up...

  2. I am an ER doc. I wrote a short story about a girl having a seizure.

    SeattleJess replied to pg212's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. Just wow. You're a mesmerizing writer. Trudging off now to find your other work. Thank

  3. Family member hurt my somewhat fragile new grad confidence

    SeattleJess replied to BlueChocolateCat's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm only a nursing student but based on decades in another career... I think you dodged a bullet. Whatever happened was way over on wife's side of the line. It probably has nothing to do with

  4. I feel uncomfortable doing this

    SeattleJess replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    The arrange to shadow is a great idea, generous and fair. But doing anything more than saying the truth is unfair to

  5. Advice on jobs?

    SeattleJess replied to Mourtney's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Oh no! Strike my advice, I posted before I read to the end of the thread. I'm sorry the residency didn't pan out but well done getting the facts and especially getting an interview for a real job...

  6. Advice on jobs?

    SeattleJess replied to Mourtney's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Get the job offer first. Definitely interview because that's valuable experience. And let everyone who is in a position to help you get the residency know you are trying for it and ask each one's...

  7. Spinoff From "Don't Be That Nurse"

    SeattleJess replied to mirandaaa's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    This is so compassionate and correct, in my experience, that I can't do better than to quote. I'm only a nursing student now but I was a CNA for three months before starting nursing school. The nurses...

  8. Bedside Report

    SeattleJess replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    Oi vey... you are making me not want to

  9. Should I quit nursing school?

    SeattleJess replied to mara.bug's topic in General Students

    You sound exhausted and overwhelmed. Perhaps not the best time to make important decisions. Only you will be able to make this important decision for yourself AND you may need time to heal before you...

  10. Is a major defining characteristic required to make a nursing diagnosis?

    SeattleJess posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Help! I may have seriously missed something first quarter and now that I am in second quarter and tutoring first quarter students I need to be sure I'm not giving them the wrong information. I...

  11. Is a major defining characteristic required to make a nursing diagnosis?

    SeattleJess replied to SeattleJess's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The Carpenito books are also filled with lobbying for her point of view. Some persuasive arguments, I agree, but NOT NANDA-I improved. The NANDA-I book is clear, easier (for me) to use and definitely...

  12. Is a major defining characteristic required to make a nursing diagnosis?

    SeattleJess replied to SeattleJess's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The 2015-2017 Nursing Diagnoses and Classifications 10th ed. doesn't subdivide defining characteristics into "major" or "minor" at all. See e.g. at p. 116. The only guidance I can find says, "'How...

  13. Veganism and the pursue of nursing

    SeattleJess replied to sparkles24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  14. Is a major defining characteristic required to make a nursing diagnosis?

    SeattleJess replied to SeattleJess's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hey, la_chica, thank you for responding to my question! I emailed my instructor from first quarter and she said that yes, at least one major defining characteristic is required for a nursing diagnosis...

  15. How do you feel about professors locking the door?

    SeattleJess replied to Amnesty's topic in General Students

    Oh yes, and it's worse when she's a likeable person who always has a good excuse. In our curriculum there's a little slack built in in that you can get a couple fails. But late is a fail. I think...

  16. Missed clinical! :(

    SeattleJess replied to tbear1206's topic in General Students

    This is true AND... I think there's a difference between being a student and being a working nurse. There needs to be some wiggle room for learning from inevitable error while one is a student. What...

  17. Missed clinical! :(

    SeattleJess replied to tbear1206's topic in General Students

    Buy yourself TWO. I've had the cell phone sound failure myself. Fortunately, not with as dire a consequence. But really, we've all made mistakes and what defines us is how we process them, how we...

  18. Pain Seekers

    SeattleJess replied to missswiss44's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thou shalt not disbelieve thy patient's pain report. We are nurses, not judges or

  19. When did it become OK to treat your nurse like poo?

    SeattleJess replied to paramed1's topic in Emergency

    Um...

  20. Only African American Nurse on Staff

    SeattleJess replied to nette1022's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    OMG, I'm still reading through the thread to get perspective before I post a kneejerk respone to the "I'm not prejudiced because..." stuff but a supervisor who calls you that???? Run away, run away,...

  21. African American Hair Problems in Nursing

    SeattleJess replied to desertstar6's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    SO much more than my greying, fine, flyaway hair. And if you're into the keeping hair away from patients, this in a ponytail is top of the line, I'm thinking. Hope this hairstyle question is not a...

  22. African American Hair Problems in Nursing

    SeattleJess replied to desertstar6's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Box braids are elegant and

  23. How would you break these up?

    SeattleJess replied to kolabee's topic in General Students

    AND require us to take chemistry as a

  24. I received this email from a professor. I was a little shocked. Opinon?

    SeattleJess replied to kdflet's topic in General Students

    I agree with Don1984. I think the instructor undercut herself by using words, words, words, instead of action. Everyone undoubtedly had been made aware of the dress code. Awareness was not the issue...

  25. My study notes--Jan. test

    SeattleJess replied to CriticalCareRN1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Looking at this list terrifies me. I'm starting my second quarter of nursing school in two days. HOW did you ever memorize all those
