1. New Grad PN

   JayHanig replied to Heyyall's topic in First Year After Licensure

   Seems to me you need some attitude adjustment. I'm not being negative, just pointing out my approach to problem solving. Stop focusing on your self-perception as being slow and start just becoming...

2. Can a RN legally supervise BSN's and MSN's?

   JayHanig replied to cosmicjustice's topic in General Nursing

   As I recall, we all took the same exam to get the same license from the state to allow us to practice nursing. It's worth noting that typically new grad BSNs arrive with the least technical skills....

3. Going to work when you should of called out. What's your thoughts on this?

   JayHanig replied to RUNNER87RCC's topic in General Nursing

   I've worked in both North and South Carolina. Although people claimed the board would be on us for this and for that, the only thing I ever saw anybody actually get spanked by the board was for the...

4. Going to work when you should of called out. What's your thoughts on this?

   JayHanig replied to RUNNER87RCC's topic in General Nursing

   "Draconian"? That's a kind way to look at it. Could you call in sick three times without getting terminated if you had a note from your mortician? I'm just saying... you guys probably need...

5. Going to work when you should of called out. What's your thoughts on this?

   JayHanig replied to RUNNER87RCC's topic in General Nursing

   I assume that those points clear after a year. If that's the case, then mark the date you last called in on your refrigerator or bulletin board (whatever you've got at home). From that day on,...

6. How To Start IVs In The Hand

   JayHanig replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

   We didn't much care for IVs in the AC on the floors either. They have a bad tendency to be highly positional. Making the trip down the hall to reset the IVAC just because the patient bent his or her...

7. New Grad Needs Advice - Hostile Work Environment

   JayHanig replied to aap2020's topic in General Nursing

   Yes, I've seen that happen on occasion. I've been turned down myself by black patients because I was white. And I've also been turned down by female patients because I was male. I've been turned...

8. New Grad Needs Advice - Hostile Work Environment

   JayHanig replied to aap2020's topic in General Nursing

   The irony of someone who rails against "people who still believe that an entire race of people is "less than" simply based on the color of their skin" on the one hand and then invokes the specter of...

9. New Grad Needs Advice - Hostile Work Environment

   JayHanig replied to aap2020's topic in General Nursing

   Where did this happen? My entire career was spent practicing in both North and South Carolina and I never witnessed anything like that. My coworkers at the last place I worked (for 12 years) were...

10. New Grad Needs Advice - Hostile Work Environment

    JayHanig replied to aap2020's topic in General Nursing

    They can't get blood from a rock. If they demand their money back, so what? Will they pillory you for all the staff to throw tomatoes at? They can wait for as long as it takes. I doubt they'll...

11. How do I trust my judgement after this? First Patient Death

    JayHanig replied to nurse54361's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry that happened but it was inevitable. Let me share my coping technique for when I don't catch something that ends up in disaster. Back in 2008, gas prices shot up and so I bought a...

12. Does Hospital Leadership and Policy Promote Working When Sick?

    JayHanig replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    Some hospitals pull that kind of crap then wonder why unions get organized in their facilities. Happy employees don't unionize. Only the *** upon. Any facility that has a union deserved

13. Setting the Precedent: Nurses Fired for Being Sick

    JayHanig replied to Brenda F. Johnson's topic in General Nursing

    My employer set up a system where we were not allowed more than 4 absences in a calendar year. You could stay out two contiguous days and it would count as one absence, but woe betide the person who...

14. Nurse Beaten by Patient Denied Request for Unpaid Time Off and Fired

    JayHanig replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing News

    I wondered about that as well. You are absolutely correct. Low unemployment rates make jobs a seller's market: in this case the hospital is the buyer and the nurses are selling their
