    OTA vs PTA

    Jedrnurse replied to mmaku2020's topic in General Nursing

    From what I've seen (and this is a generalization), OTA is more creativity-oriented, and PTA is more physical. Personally, I would be more suited for PTA. Direct entry MS to NP? Even if it exists,...

    School Nurse is a Lonely job

    Jedrnurse replied to TaylsRN's topic in School

    What grades do you cover? If it's with kiddos, offer to stop in and teach lice classes- that's a sure winner to put you on the map... (I bring

    How to make yourself "indispensable"? And a question about nursing education?

    Jedrnurse replied to Cats&Tea&Climbing's topic in General Nursing

    Become bilingual (or trilingual if possible.) Instant increased

    path from bsn to dnp?

    Jedrnurse replied to amh248's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    From what you describe, you're not a nurse yet. If that's the case, finish school, pass the boards, and get some actual nursing practice experience BEFORE you seek to become an advanced practice...

    Taking a pay cut for my sanity?

    Jedrnurse replied to DierkyBrewster's topic in General Nursing

    The higher wage you make now won't make a difference if you're dead or disabled from health concerns. Go for the sanity-saving job and go back to school- it'll be a long term investment in your...

    Jedrnurse replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    I'd bet that the ANA guideline comes from paper pushing "nurses" who would keel over if they worked in an environment with that type of assignment the OP

    Is it worth it now or should i wait?

    Jedrnurse replied to Nicole.oss123's topic in General Nursing

    Even if you never teach, having a degree opens up doors that wouldn't be open without one. If you're so close to finishing your first degree, go for it. You never know what might happen leading up to...

    Jedrnurse replied to nurseinmaryland's topic in General Nursing

    Give them the courtesy due to people who have that type of integrity.

    New Head Lice Treatment......

    Diabetic Mom

    Jedrnurse replied to LOLLYGAGGER's topic in School

    This seems borderline "need to file" with CPS (or DCF in my state) But by all means, contact the PCP. Providers and families often misinterpret HIPAA constraints. Practitioners CAN share info with...

    Parents with poor compliance/lack of follow-up

    Jedrnurse replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I just received a health info/emergency consent to treat form back after chasing down a parent for a while. What do I get back? A form with a signature and NO INFORMATION QUESTIONS FILLED IN. Hello,...

    Accidents/Change of clothes

    Jedrnurse replied to nyy2's topic in School

    I'm the opposite- every weekend I hit up the Dollar Store for a different size pack of undies. (sixes are the quickest to go) It's the spare pants that are a problem. I can't afford to be buying...

    Bullying in the workplace

    Jedrnurse replied to PrincessAlexiss's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If you consider the previous comments rude, I think you've set the bar really low. You may also find "bullying" very common, when it may only be people having differences of opinion or being...

    A first grader just brought the following for lunch

    Jedrnurse replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    IF the parent truly feeds the kiddo like that, do y'all think it possibly drifts into official (reportable) neglect

    Vision/hearing

    Jedrnurse replied to Nurse.jen's topic in School

    Lock the clinic door, turn out the lights, post a sign reminding people that today is screening day and that if case of emergency the main office will contact you. (Do you have walkie-talkies?) E-mail...

    Mandated HPV Vaccinations?

    Jedrnurse replied to halohg's topic in School

    Yeah, not a perfect analogy, but having government control over your body should be taken very seriously. Obesity causes, or at least contributes to a host of diseases- what if we mandated surgery for...

    Mandated HPV Vaccinations?

    Jedrnurse replied to halohg's topic in School

    I believe Texas was in the news a few years ago about mandating the vaccine. (Not sure about the current legal status of that.)Turned out that then-Gov. Rick Perry was cozy with manufacturer money...

    Mandated HPV Vaccinations?

    Jedrnurse replied to halohg's topic in School

    Okay. And if prophylactic penicillin (or fill in the blank medication) was proven to prevent gonorrhea, should it be mandated? I'm not against vaccinations, and would recommend getting the HPV one. I...

    Mandated HPV Vaccinations?

    Jedrnurse replied to halohg's topic in School

    I can understand the resentment. It's not something that can casually be passed on through a cough or some such thing. Big Brother can be odious at times, and of course there's probably Pharma money...
