    How to get days off to go back to school?

    Jedrnurse replied to Jay333's topic in General Nursing

    Please consider taking time to learning nursing before going to school to become an advanced practitioner of it. Also, it'll be extra stressful for you to try and become clinically adept while...

    Work refuses call out?

    Jedrnurse replied to Nurseynurse11's topic in General Nursing

    No, they can't "force" you to come in. But they can make your life miserable and probably find a way to fire

    Despite High Demand For Nurses, Colleges Aren't Keeping Up

    Jedrnurse replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    With a ratio like that, it shouldn't even be called a "nursing"

    I don't know if I should call out or not r/t snow storm

    Jedrnurse replied to SoNan's topic in General Nursing

    I went back to see what my oh-so offensive statement was: "If you get mandated, at least it'll be for the overnight shift which should be a bit quieter." Yeah, I'm not going to take crap for...

    How much experience does your manager/assistant manager have?

    Jedrnurse replied to DownstreamOcclusion's topic in General Nursing

    I agree! Certainly there are general management and people skills that easily transfer from one setting to another, but in such a highly specialized area, one would hope that management would be...

    Looking for advice

    Jedrnurse replied to Jo89's topic in General Nursing

    Get some experience while working on pre-reqs as you said. If you choose carefully, the courses you take could apply to whichever program you're interested in. Also, working might also clarify for you...

    I don't know if I should call out or not r/t snow storm

    Jedrnurse replied to SoNan's topic in General Nursing

    I've worked all the shifts; I know that nights can be crazy, but on the whole, my experience is that there was less busyness due to fewer disciplines and admin crawling about. (Note the italics I used...

    Family Vs Evening Shift

    Jedrnurse replied to Newnurse24's topic in General Nursing

    Is your family situation such that you could just hang on until a day shift opens

    Paramedic to RN

    Jedrnurse replied to Zmedic50's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like a good strategy. If you have to work a lot of hours while in school try to cut yourself a break by taking as many of the pre-reqs and non-clinical courses as you can first to lighten your...

    Paramedic to RN

    Jedrnurse replied to Zmedic50's topic in General Nursing

    I've never seen a community college with an accelerated program except for some LPN to RN programs which I think have gone the way of the Dodo bird, at least around my area. University accelerated...

    Being a preceptor as a new(ish) nurse?

    Jedrnurse replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    New-ish nurses may be more in touch with what it was like to be new, and that can help you as a preceptor. As long as you don't have false pride and feel like you have to know the answer to...

    RN coworker discouraged me

    A dictatorship is so...tacky. Now a good old-fashioned monarchy, that sounds

    What else can be done about a nurse sleeping on duty??

    Jedrnurse replied to Kastiara's topic in General Nursing

    It's amazing that management would want the responsibility/liability of enabling a sleeping nurse, especially on an ICU. Is the nurse somehow connected? I hope you kept a personal record of...

    I don't know if I should call out or not r/t snow storm

    Jedrnurse replied to SoNan's topic in General Nursing

    You call out, day shift gets stuck, then as a bonus they can't go home and have to crash somewhere/somehow at the facility after a 16 hour shift. No bueno. If you get mandated, at least...

    80% BSN by 2020: Where Are We Now?

    Jedrnurse replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    No doubt. It sounds like you're talking about an LPN to RN bridge program, although most of the ones I've seen over the years are at the ASN level, so it wouldn't immediately address the 80% by 2020...

    Leaving the bedside in 2020

    Jedrnurse replied to hellopanda's topic in General Nursing

    Is it all or nothing? Could you still pick up a couple of (8) shifts per month in a hospital setting to "stay fresh"? Would your health tolerate that? That's if you want

    I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    Jedrnurse replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Okay, so an "entrepreneur" and FORMER elected official has floated the idea. It's rubbish. The two things (money to help with economic security and vaccinations) should have no relationship. I hope...

    I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    What in the world do you mean by a $1500 stimulus (bribe)..? Sounds like inaccurate

    80% BSN by 2020: Where Are We Now?

    Jedrnurse replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    Ouch. Well, I guess the fact that you don't want to help me understand proves you have an ax to grind. Also, insinuating that I "appear" to be "befuddled" is unnecessarily confrontational. You don't...

    80% BSN by 2020: Where Are We Now?

    Without a doubt. But again, I reference the subject of the OP. I still don't

    80% BSN by 2020: Where Are We Now?

    Jedrnurse replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    I'm genuinely confused as to how this relates to the central theme of the post. I thought it was about whether the push for RNs to have a BSN was being achieved. How are LPNs a part of the...

    New Nurse - Unsafe Hospital

    Jedrnurse replied to NurseL20's topic in General Nursing

    I took that to mean that the preceptor is taking one of the patients on the assignment and that the remaining six (including ADLs which may usually be handled by a tech) are solely being cared for by...
