    Okay, y'all. In spite of what some people will say, your use of language will influence what people think of you, and how intelligent and/or competent they think you are. My current number one:...

    To Master or Not

    Jedrnurse replied to guest83140's topic in School

    I hear you about weighing the costs at a certain point in life. I'm thinking about grad certificates instead. In my state, many contracts give you a boost if you have your B.S. + 15 credits. Also, I...

    Well, see how much you mind your business if co-workers have conversations using lewd and offensive words. Even if they're not talking to you, it would suddenly become your

    Jedrnurse replied to RNinSC88's topic in School

    I've seen a few posts like this before. If you do an AN site search e.g. school nurse interview, you'll get multiple previous threads to comb through. Also, you'll see some feedback from folks...

    Recycled topics (vent)

    Jedrnurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    Does anyone else pick up on how there is a core set of topics that get recycled, e.g. "My GPA is 0.00001, can I handle nursing school?" What subjects drive you to distraction after seeing them again...

    Jedrnurse replied to Windchaser22's topic in School

    Honestly, I MAY have dosed out of an expired inhaler or two while waiting for new ones. The whole expiration date thing is interesting. A pharmacy will label a one year date from the day of dispensing...

    Jedrnurse replied to RNinCali15's topic in First Year After Licensure

    By "bulling attitude" did you mean to write "bullying"? Might as well strike that word from the lexicon as it's been so used and abused. Bullying is now: "Somebody said something I didn't like or...

    I'm a nursing student thinking of quitting my CNA job?

    Jedrnurse replied to michigan94's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe it's not an all or nothing thing. Can you cut back your hours? (If you can afford it...) If you'd like to work there after passing the boards, maybe you could go per diem now (and work...

    Nursing specialty that deals with this?

    Don't you feel guilty for not working in a hospital?

    Jedrnurse replied to Marshall1's topic in General Nursing

    I do more well-rounded nursing (in a school setting) than I ever could in the cookie-cutter, assembly-line morass of overwork that is now acute care. Feeling of guilt? Hell to the no. More like...
