    Anyone ever pack a wound with betadine soaked gauze?

    Jedrnurse replied to Skwidward's topic in General Nursing

    Back in the day, 1/4 or 1/2 strength betadine, but that was a long time

    Does your employer give you hell for calling in sick?

    Jedrnurse replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    What do they want? Nine months' notice for a day-off

    Where do you stand on "Nurses don't get paid enough"?

    Jedrnurse replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    That was one of the things I liked about being a public employee, I.e. pay scales from the union contract were a matter of public record. Not so sure about management, but I imagine with a little...

    Okay, please feel free to bring up and quote all the posts I wrote about not making enough money; I'll check back on this board to find the results. And yeah, just because I'm not available to be...

    NCSN

    Yeah, it's one of the reasons that I felt it was more difficult than the Boards. (many moons ago at least) The breadth of the subjects on the NCSN exam was

    Jedrnurse replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Speaking as an American, I think pay rates are okay as long as you're actually paid for all the hours you work. So many people chart "off the clock" and give free labor to their

    School Nurse Article-"They See Us as the Enemy"

    Jedrnurse replied to LibraSunCNM's topic in School

    I read this article over the weekend. It fits with the increase in incivility, e.g. airline personnel and kids' sports coaches being assaulted for doing their jobs, etc... Between what both...

    Increasing Pool Testing and TTS Participation

    Jedrnurse replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Wow. I just have regular swabs; now I want to try the government ones and see if they're any better. Were you required by your district policy to let the student with possible COVID symptoms...

    Increasing Pool Testing and TTS Participation

    Jedrnurse replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I guess I'd start by trying to find out the reason(s) why people are declining to participate. That might help you come up with ways to help them re-think their choices. Any idea what's going on in...

    BUT, BUT, "everything was quiet"...? Seriously though, it does boggle the mind. BTW, if I were you, I'd nip that getting called in the middle of the night thing to cover the SNF in...

    Overbearing Parent Help

    I would come up with the fanciest, most professional packet of home schooling program brochures for mom's reading pleasure. Seriously, without any support from admin, your friend is really in a...

    Resignation Question

    Jedrnurse replied to DSG28's topic in General Nursing

    Which company did you say "see ya!" to? If you get the bonus and are taxed on it, does anyone know what happens (tax-wise) if you end up paying it

    Jedrnurse replied to JP_403's topic in Men in Nursing

    Again, peds is off in the future. Prioritize passing your classes and then the boards. Try seeing if any faculty in your program I.e. advisors would be a good mentor fit for

    Jedrnurse replied to JP_403's topic in Men in Nursing

    Don't borrow stress (thinking about potential problems down the road). Concentrate on school and then licensure. If possible, try to identify someone as a mentor to help you through the beginning...

    Scope of Practice Question

    Jedrnurse replied to kjones1982's topic in General Nursing

    Scope of Practice Question

    Jedrnurse replied to kjones1982's topic in General Nursing

    Bad practice and bad precedent. (Not sure if it squeaks by legally, but I suspect not.) The PCP prescribing the Humira should put in an order for VNA or the like to visit for the shot, since the...
