    Suspicion About Med Error

    Jedrnurse replied to Sharmilagrg00's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    The way I read the OP, they're not sure if this is happening, they're simply wondering. A "write up" would be inappropriate. Like your

    So Discouraged...

    Jedrnurse replied to SchoolNurseK's topic in School

    People of that particular way of thinking have proved that little things like reality won't change their minds. Don't bother trying; it's just too disheartening. Get involved in your city and state...

    Are your kids back to school full time in person?

    Jedrnurse replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Having a police officer coordinate the COVID response is...highly questionable. To have said officer not know enough to tap expertise when necessary

    What to do next??

    Jedrnurse replied to slove2718's topic in General Nursing

    Spinal cord injury units tend to have a lot of angry (understandably so) young men. They cannot manipulate their world through their own agency, so they have to utilize people around them. For staff,...

    What to do next??

    Have you worked on a spinal cord unit before? It can take a LOT out of a person. Those that do it successfully, hats off to

    Rapid testing in schools- any here in MA?

    Jedrnurse replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Yeah. The negative needing to be confirmed by a PCR test (and in the interim treating the symptomatic student as COVID positive anyway) does seem to take some of the usefulness out of it. The only...

    How often should healthcare workers be tested for COVID?

    Jedrnurse replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    If the current theories/way of thinking are correct, the average incubation time before symptoms is five days, with infectiousness considered starting two days before symptom presentation. If I'm just...

    Not sure how you tie the bullying behavior together with not having legitimate licenses to practice. Are you implying that because they're not American-born that they obtained fraudulent

    Nursing school

    Are you in the States? The majority of programs now are academic, not technical. (Even technical schools are often affiliated with public vocational schools.) Are you proposing opening up the...

    When to turn in resignation?

    Jedrnurse replied to PirateNurse06's topic in General Nursing

    Someone once told me "only know the new job is really yours until you've finished the first day of orientation." I wouldn't give notice until you've cleared your background check/drug screen and the...

    I put Gold Bond Powder in my kids sneakers if they take them off for ht/wt or for a twisted ankle assessment. That's about all I do for air

    Non bedside nursing jobs?

    Jedrnurse replied to ericninetwo's topic in General Nursing

    If you can rough it for 6 more months in med-surg I expect you'll have better luck branching out. Then you'll have 3 yrs experience as a nurse, with a year of fresh/current acute

    New Grads and Acute Care Hiring

    Jedrnurse replied to CardiTeleRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you! So many people use the term "shortage" and imply that it's nationwide. While the nursing school industry would be happy to let you think that, it's not. As an add-on, the opposite of...

    Why do you think it is beneficial to have a second nurse available during a catheterization?

    Administrator trying to Override RN Recommendation

    Jedrnurse replied to NewRN'16's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, if the DON doesn't want to address it, the entrenched crew will "keep on keeping on". A central question is: how long you're willing to put up with it...? (Is there ANY chance of...
