    Is it worth going from Paramedic to RN in Florida?

    Jedrnurse replied to Medic1995's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't recommend spending too much time projecting what the future will be to that level of minutiae. You have to first be accepted to a program, complete it, then pass the boards. (While you're...

    Changing jobs

    Jedrnurse replied to DoloresC14's topic in General Nursing

    If you weren't nervous, I'd be worried- it's only natural! Don't let that temporary emotion control your long term

    Fired (Wrongfully?) And It Hurts

    When Will the Nursing Shortage Be Over?

    Jedrnurse replied to Nursing CE Central's topic in General Nursing

    I've worked both forensic and general acute psych. Honestly, with ratios like that I'd die of

    Fainting at school - a very anxious school RN!

    Jedrnurse replied to pineappleupsidedowncake's topic in School

    Besides your district's policy, I would think that the student's medical history (or lack thereof) would play a part in the decision. "New onset" fainting with no obvious factors involved could be...

    Grade Preference...

    Jedrnurse replied to PedsNrse13's topic in School

    For me, middle school is the worst of both worlds. They're losing the cuteness and gaining the attitude. They also don't have the level of reasoning that high schoolers (may)

    Who do I give my resignation letter to?

    Jedrnurse replied to NursePetite's topic in General Nursing

    I would make sure that whoever does your scheduling knows the specifics as well. I've read more than a couple of accounts in which people were getting calls from units at their former employers asking...

    Notice

    Jedrnurse replied to Phoenix1565's topic in General Specialties

    The PDO issue may be illegal and able to be challenged, but the "no rehire status" is completely up to them. More and more places are moving to the expectation of 4 weeks notice. I worked in a place...

    What is it like working at a Davita outpatient dialysis center?

    Jedrnurse replied to nurse1045's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds as if your standard schedule goes well over 40 hours a week. Are you being paid

    New, solo, multi-campus school nurse with no training!

    Jedrnurse replied to DCtoRN's topic in School

    One nurse covering an elementary, middle and high school? Making sure that finger sticks and medications are being done properly? I read this as saying that diabetic care (among other things)...

    Second Thoughts on Becoming a Nurse

    Jedrnurse replied to ThePrudentStudent's topic in General Nursing

    I can't say that I've seen many (if any) posts from people touting their job's good working conditions, adequate pay, reasonable management, and safe nurse-to-patient ratios. Is this because...

    How To Prepare For Nursing Home Orientation Job

    Jedrnurse replied to Shihtzulover16's topic in General Specialties

    Doing 5-8 admissions per shift- properly- while taking care of your other patients, again, properly, is not doable. Is it possible that you misheard those

    I wouldn't bother with HR if I were you. It probably won't accomplish anything except generating animosity between you and your

    Pickup bonus

    Jedrnurse replied to exit96's topic in General Nursing

    By that I mean patients focusing more on the fact that they got cranberry juice on their tray instead of orange juice (but they did have that new onset DVT diagnosed and treated successfully.) If the...

    Pickup bonus

    Jedrnurse replied to exit96's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like a set up though. If one of the criteria on the satisfaction survey is "nurse came into the room every hour" but the unit's staffing and/or acuity didn't allow that, well, getting dinged...

    Jedrnurse replied to nurse1045's topic in General Nursing

    Don't think "9 months of med-surg to make a total of a year" because honestly, it won't be looked at that way by recruiters. Think at least a year- better yet two- at your next
