    Jedrnurse replied to Possible Career Changer's topic in Nursing Career

    Don't pay those tuition prices! This site is replete with posts from people with excessive school debt (along with some reporting poor job prospects as well). I would recommend looking at all the...

    Unsure About Position: Critical Care Float Pool RN (+ ED)

    Jedrnurse replied to CowgirlHippy's topic in General Nursing

    If it's a hospital system with long-term potential for your career, you may want to rough it out until COVID is under control then make a move (if you still need to). Is your schedule such that...

    Got My Vaccine Yesterday

    Jedrnurse replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I'm dismayed (but not surprised) that there's not more direct outreach from DESE on the subject. They're all-fired up and pushing for in person classes (understandably) but should be strongly...

    So Much For Michigan Becoming Compact

    Jedrnurse replied to rbrandnew's topic in General Nursing

    Are there obstacles preventing you from getting the specific state license? (Years ago when I moved to DC from MA, I ended up having DC, MA, MD and VA licenses for maximum flexibility.) It does...

    I'm just rolling out BinaxNow tests at my school this coming Monday and now the state has publicized and encouraged signing up for a pilot program in which we'd do weekly pool testing of the entire...

    Anyone removed from Orientation early?

    Jedrnurse replied to 2ndcareernurse37's topic in General Nursing

    12 weeks reduced to 2 days- that's obscene. At least you know what your manager's word is worth. Along with the 2 year contract (I thought the idea was you paid them back for the cost of...

    Any older males becoming diabetes educators?

    Jedrnurse replied to northmississippi's topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    From what I've read, the biggest impediment is finding the paid clinical hours to qualify to take the exam- I've never even thought about the gender/age issue. Did you arrange a way to get the

    Not to get too much in the weeds on this, but is storage of bio-samples in a school allowed under the CLIA

    Pool Testing

    Jedrnurse replied to Jedrnurse's topic in School

    Yeah, I'm in MA. The contradictions are one thing that gets me. They want a positive pool to be tested with BinaxNow, but won't accept a BinaxNow negative as sufficient (when done for symptomatic...

    Facility and Covid vaccinations denial

    Jedrnurse replied to Sunni2017's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Is it more an issue of them not wanting your second dose to be a different formulation? (If I understand you correctly, they are giving out Pfizer, you got Moderna.) I don't believe that "mixing"...

    New California Nurse to Patient Ratio

    I guess I was generalizing about the whole country. For example, an ICU 1:3 becoming the "industry norm" in the majority of states (which do not have mandated

    New California Nurse to Patient Ratio

    Jedrnurse replied to painmeds's topic in General Nursing

    It's just a cynical gut feeling, but I can't help but wonder if some hospitals will try to make some of these emergency changes the new normal after the pandemic. (The ones that give them short-term...

    House Democrats plan to impeach Trump for 'incitement of insurrection' following the deadly Capitol riots

    Jedrnurse replied to herring_RN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    The impeachment should go forward if only to spotlight Republicans who would still choose to support this traitor President and force them to go on the record (again). Of course there are other...
