    when do you think hospitals will go back to not requiring masks?

    Jedrnurse replied to J89Mike's topic in General Nursing

    LPN schools without prerequisites ?

    Jedrnurse replied to BetterMe's topic in General Nursing

    Be extra careful if you're looking at private programs. They can be VERY overpriced and often have low pass rates on the

    LPN schools without prerequisites ?

    Jedrnurse replied to BetterMe's topic in General Nursing

    Is these programs through a community college? That would make sense, as they would have some non-nursing core courses as part of the program. Most hospital-based programs (which would not necessarily...

    surgical triage nursing

    Jedrnurse replied to Rocket94's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder if it's possible for video to now be incorporated into the practice, especially with the big boost that COVID gave telehealth. It'd sure be easier to give advice if you could see the incision...

    surgical triage nursing

    Jedrnurse replied to Rocket94's topic in General Nursing

    It sounded to me like post-op case management; I was confused as well. OP: When dealing telephonically all day with the public you will inevitably interact with people who have actually...

    LPN schools without prerequisites ?

    Jedrnurse replied to BetterMe's topic in General Nursing

    What do you consider to be prerequisites? I don't believe programs can accept people without a HSD/GED. Also, I'm not sure if entrance exams are universal, but I do believe they are common....

    Experienced critical care RN having a hard time dealing with a bully boss. Advice?

    Jedrnurse replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately that would also reinforce the dysfunctional liar's power. Wanna get rid of/mess with someone? Lie about med diversion! You're right that it's best to get out of a place like that,...

    New Student Nurse = Nervous

    Jedrnurse replied to biancal257's topic in General Nursing

    If I were you, I wouldn't come to any judgments about, well, anything- based on social media. That being said, there are many systemic problems in the field and a lot of nurses are dissatisfied....

    Leave my externship or my screening job?

    Jedrnurse replied to Cnlee12's topic in General Nursing

    How long have you been at Hospital A? If you've been there a while, you still can benefit from having been an employee when applying at a later time even if you leave now due to your school schedule....

    New Elementary School RN

    Jedrnurse replied to Brooke13's topic in School

    Just a couple (out of a thousand) things: See if you can get some face time in the classrooms. Lice prevention classes (for example) are always a good idea. Also, start your vision and...

    Too soon to apply?

    Jedrnurse replied to NightNerd's topic in General Nursing

    My guess would be that hospitals looking to fill such positions wouldn't be willing to keep them vacant that long. Maybe consider early informational interviews...if such things are still
