    RN to paramedic

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

    I got my BSN twenty years after getting my nursing license. Some parts of the curriculum were disappointing, but it did open some doors for me. Maybe down the road you'll change your mind. Vet the...

    Not Getting Paid Overtime. Is This Illegal?

    Jedrnurse replied to AnaBanana.RN's topic in General Nursing

    I would assume that means that your rate would increase if you picked up more time pushing you over a 40 hour

    Not Getting Paid Overtime. Is This Illegal?

    Jedrnurse replied to AnaBanana.RN's topic in General Nursing

    Which route?

    Jedrnurse replied to MomtaRN2B2020's topic in General Nursing

    How good is the orientation at the ER facility supposed to be? If you think it's good and you want the experience, go for it. You can certainly always go back to med-surg from there if you want to...

    Should I switch to days even though it is harder as a new nurse or stay at nights where it’s short staffed?

    Jedrnurse replied to Yadiya's topic in General Nursing

    In my experience there was more clinical support available on days and more opportunities to interact with other disciplines. Some places I've been purposely DON'T start new nurses on nights. Also,...

    How far is too far of a commute?

    Jedrnurse replied to Alexxoxox's topic in General Nursing

    12 hour shifts are never just 12 hours. I would say a commute is too long if: 1. you're too tired to drive home safely. and/or 2. you don't have enough sleep time to practice...

  21. Jedrnurse

    Do any of you work as regulatory nurses?

    Jedrnurse replied to veriteblesse's topic in General Nursing

    I've always thought that these types of employees should devote an extra three days or so to a facility visit and take assignments . That way they can get a taste of the actual reality before pulling...

    Say something or no?

    Jedrnurse replied to Dawnkeibals's topic in General Nursing

    I would give him a heads up about the state of the manager's ego and advise him to enter the new department "slowly" and be aware of the particularities of the situation. I wouldn't go overboard and...
