    "Addiction" Nursing is an outdated term.

    Jedrnurse replied to havenrn's topic in Addictions

    It's not an "all or nothing" thing. You can have compassion for a person with a substance use disorder and still recognize that they have to take responsibility and be an active part of their own...

    Polite way to deal with AWOL CNA’s?

    Jedrnurse replied to Beepbeepbeep's topic in General Nursing

    I think that the words "polite way" in your title don't apply here. Firm but fair, no-nonsense but not disrespectful, maybe, but you're past the "polite" stage with these

    Parents STILL Sending Sick Kids to School

    Jedrnurse replied to lifelearningrn's topic in School

    Ditto on the "wicked"; in fact I'll see it and raise you a "wicked pissah". DESE, I'm willing to bet, is mostly working remotely. Because, you know, it's safer to not be out there commuting on...

    Change jobs, again?

    Jedrnurse replied to Abbydrake's topic in General Nursing

    Stick it out. Get a solid 2 years in the lab. Find ways to make it stimulating and learn all you can about it. There will be other openings if you still want the

    New Grad Working Two Jobs

    Jedrnurse replied to Biggredd305's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with other folks about trying to pick up extra shifts where you currently are. Also, once you're eligible to float, it's a good way to become known in your facility and get exposure to...

    RN roles in Harm Reduction

    Jedrnurse replied to Corpsman2OncRN's topic in General Nursing

    You may want to do some general med-surg as well, to get exposure to patients who would benefit from behavioral changes to improve outcomes related to their diseases/conditions. (And of course,...

    Bedside RN- not sure if I want to pursue Masters in Health Administration or NP

    Jedrnurse replied to nurseindistress's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have a realistic idea of what the administrative work would entail? It almost sounds like you're looking at it as a lifeline to get out of hands on care. Is that the

    New grad orientation

    Jedrnurse replied to newnursemoon's topic in General Nursing

    I've been told by older nurses whom I've met in the past that LOTS of stuff was practiced on/by students as part of training. Forward to now, I'd find it hard to believe that an employer would open...

    How much do you owe in student loans?

    Ever date a patient? Or would you?

    Jedrnurse replied to MarkMyWords's topic in General Nursing

    Okay; then I don't understand the usage of "same plane" as it applies to this situation. My initial read would be "in the same neighborhood" or "close to same level of moral gravity". Is that what you...

    Sure, we don't diagnose. That's why our students are sent home until they ARE diagnosed. Move over, "Storm Chasers" reality show, here comes "Symptom

    Parents STILL Sending Sick Kids to School

    Jedrnurse replied to lifelearningrn's topic in School

    I think from reading previous posts that you're in MA. A while back, a town in MetroWest passed an ordinance to fine people that lied on the attestations. I'm not sure if something like that has any...

    Working impaired and dating someone that you once had as a patient are ethical equivalents??? I don't see

    Great Article on "Shortage" of Nurses

    Jedrnurse replied to ielizabeth's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I disagree with your inference that casting doubt on the shortage issue implies that hospitals have sufficient staffing. Quite the opposite. If ratios and assignments are unreasonable and there is no...

    New grad nurse—school board nurse opportunity

    Jedrnurse replied to Ann1e86's topic in General Nursing

    Different states have different rules for the position, and (in my state at least) private schools can do what they want. When you're brand-spanking new you mostly "don't know what you don't...
