    cjcsoon2bnp posted a topic in General Nursing

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to bjwojcik's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am new to prescribing as an NP and I can't tell you how helpful all of the local pharmacists have been when I have had to call in scripts. I work in an ED and we have to call in antibiotic...

    When to delegate to CNAs?

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to Alexx_xox's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I seriously hope that this is a joke. When I was an ER nurse I had no problem delegating tasks to CNAs and I certainly wasn't a pushover but I also learned that asking for help and showing a little...

    Multiple CNA's refusing assigned task

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to Dawnkeibals's topic in General Nursing

    I don't work in LTC but I have a deep respect for those who possess the skills and disposition suited for that setting because I do not. My experience in LTC is limited to what I saw in nursing school...

    Multiple CNA's refusing assigned task

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to Dawnkeibals's topic in General Nursing

    I think that CNAs/techs have a role in the delivery of healthcare as do nurses (RNs/LPNs), advanced practice providers (MD/DO/NP/PA) and all of the other disciplines (pharmacy, social work, case...

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to cjcsoon2bnp's topic in General Nursing

    With all due respect, your response comes across as dismissive and is exactly the reason why I wrote this article in the first place

    Fairness

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to Hink12's topic in General Nursing

    Back when I was a nurse manager my unit had self-scheduling and while I loved the idea of staff being able to have real influence over own schedules I found that for every schedule period I would...

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to Guest716906's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't been a Med/Surg nurse in a while because I'm in the ED now and the charting requirements are completely different but my previous nurse manager regarded me as a pretty thorough in the...

    Accusing Hospice

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to jeastridge's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    This is a great story, your message and choice of language created a really solid picture, at least in my mind. I agree with the user who suggested that it must be the family who brings up religion in...

    Nurse-client Relationship Boundaries

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to BBpeds18's topic in General Students

    I'm a clinical nursing instructor and I would tell my student that this is a matter of professional boundaries. I agree that it was a mistake and a momentary lapse in judgement but I understand how a...

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to cjcsoon2bnp's topic in Advanced Practice

    As usual I think that BostonFNP is right on target, programs that don't or can't secure sits for their students are sending a message that tuition dollars are valued above the quality of their...

    New BSN Grad - Should I get my NP now?

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I am in 1000% agreement with Nurse Beth on this one. Trying to start an NP program while in your first year of RN practice is both challenging and ill-advised. You won't have enough time to really...
