    Getting so busy and forgot to notify the charge nurse about a small med error

    JerseyTomatoMDCrab replied to georgya3's topic in General Nursing

    This is yet another example of the ever growing number of threads where the poster asks for advice/input and proceeds to vehemently reject and argue with those whose responses don't support or agree...

    New grad in the float pool?!

    JerseyTomatoMDCrab replied to lelms's topic in Medical-Surgical

    This is highly suspicious. As PPs have said, most float pool positions are reserved for experienced RN who have worked in various settings. My job as a new grad only employed experienced float nurses...

    A newfound appreciation

    JerseyTomatoMDCrab replied to LonghornChic's topic in School

    It's nice that you are getting such good school nursing exposure! I never did anything in the schools when I was in college. I think that's the case for most students which could explain why so many...

    AN is the nice part of the internet

    JerseyTomatoMDCrab replied to JerseyTomatoMDCrab's topic in Nurses Rock

    Calories deprived people can be MEAN. I hear that. I was on a less famous weight loss website a few years ago... they also have an app. I never wrote anything but I was a lurker in the comments and my...

    First job offer has bad Google reviews.

    JerseyTomatoMDCrab replied to Bratt88's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    People usually only take to review sites when they have had a bad experience. Good experiences go unmentioned. Also, some people are just awfully hard to please. I wouldn't give it much

    Hobbies off duty as a Nurse?

    JerseyTomatoMDCrab replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    BUCKET LIST. I have wanted to go to Iceland for a long time! My best friend and I celebrated 20 years of friendship last year and decided that for our 30th friend-iversary we are going to go to...

    Hobbies off duty as a Nurse?

    JerseyTomatoMDCrab replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    I love to read! I love to hike, play with my dog and cat, visit my family and cook/bake. I love to ride my bike, watch stupid YouTube videos and SING! I could sing all day long. I volunteer at an...

    Not taking a break

    JerseyTomatoMDCrab replied to Yellow90's topic in General Nursing

    That's quite a statement to make about a person as a whole based on one single habit they practice at work. I'm fairly certain that the poster to which you are replying isn't standing there shoveling...

    Not taking a break

    JerseyTomatoMDCrab replied to Yellow90's topic in General Nursing

    My last hospital job "addressed" this issue by the manager calling the phones of the nurses who were supposed to be on break and writing them up when their phones rang in their pockets. "Your phone...

    Missed a fracture

    JerseyTomatoMDCrab replied to Buggus's topic in School

    I had a very similar situation at the end of last year. Of course, my AN buddies made me feel better but it's still an awful feeling. The CPS thing is causing me to scratch my head and it sure isn't...

    I'm here! Been here doing paperwork since 8/19 but my kids came back

    I'm back and pregnant!

    JerseyTomatoMDCrab replied to amleah10's topic in School

    Congratulations!

    When do you go back?

    JerseyTomatoMDCrab replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    I go back the 19th. My kids come back the 25th. I didn't have a super long break though, I worked summer school in July and am currently in orientation for a PRN job. I don't mind though. I honestly...

    I made a mistake... anyone left?

    JerseyTomatoMDCrab posted a topic in School

    I made a mistake yesterday and now I need to talk it out with whoever is left. One of my kiddos came in yesterday saying he fell off the monkey bars onto some grass earlier in the day, landing on his...

    You is Tired, You is Broke, You is a School Nurse !

    JerseyTomatoMDCrab replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    My AP referred to "all that nurse stuff" as "nonsense" yesterday. I'm pretty sure he was joking. It was not funny. I gave him the death stare and told him I would be happy to leave the building for a...

    Stanford Rape

    JerseyTomatoMDCrab replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    I never said he should be hurt. I said he should be punished. I would never advocate for violence against another human being but I do think that the violence he committed against a totally vulnerable...

    Stanford Rape

    JerseyTomatoMDCrab replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    Why don't we just stop letting women go to college? Problem solved. No campus rape if there aren't women on campus! Let's stop letting women have jobs, vote, drive and leave the house too. Then they...

    Stanford Rape

    JerseyTomatoMDCrab replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    My point is that the athletic ability of the accused was cited far too many times during their trials. Regardless of guilt or innocence, how talented or promising someone is should not be considered...

    Stanford Rape

    JerseyTomatoMDCrab replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    This is simply infuriating. Every time I try to calm down about this, I can't. WHY are people acting like this person is deserving of mercy? Did he show the victim mercy? Do you think he stopped...

    Best quality care cannot be provided

    JerseyTomatoMDCrab replied to uniqueguy34's topic in General Nursing

    If you give 100% at work, what does that leave for you? Nurses are still human beings and we cannot bleed ourselves dry for a job that gives us back so

    Hot dogs and ramen,summer budget

    JerseyTomatoMDCrab replied to jesserpie's topic in School

    Had an interview yesterday for a PRN job at a hospital in town. I think it went well! The nursing staff has a 90% retention rate too so it sounds like people are pretty happy there. We will

    What Nurses really Want to Say When They Chart

    JerseyTomatoMDCrab replied to SICUshortCait's topic in General Nursing

    "Patient educated on the importance of post-operative ambulation/incentive spirometry/adhering to diet/staying on the unit. Patient refused." ---- you can lead a horse to water but you can't make them...

    Short staffing incentive ideas???

    JerseyTomatoMDCrab replied to kms6417's topic in General Nursing

    When I read the title of this thread, my first thought was "Duh! More money!" but it seems your facility already thought of that. Those are pretty good cash incentives. My first hospital job SOMETIMES...

    I made a mistake... anyone left?

    JerseyTomatoMDCrab replied to JerseyTomatoMDCrab's topic in School

    Update! Student came to school this AM with no sling or soft wrap and no cast. He says he took the wrap off over the weekend (with mom's help) and went to the carnival on Saturday night. Arm is...
