    Be honest, when do you start working on your CEUs?

    Jedrnurse replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I do one online session a month. It's easier if you pick something that really interests you. CDC and Medscape both offer free

    How do I know how many CE hour I have learned?

    Is it appropriate to "show off" that you are a Nurse on social media?

    Jedrnurse replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately SM has turned out to be quite the source/delivery method of huge amounts of misinformation, sometimes mistakenly, but often done on

    Can’t find RN work!

    Jedrnurse replied to JtSD619's topic in General Nursing

    Waiting a year after getting licensed to look for a job may be hurting you with potential employers. Is there anything about the situation that may raise a red flag? (At least in their

    LVN an RN after your name

    Jedrnurse replied to emipn's topic in General Nursing

    I'd be worried about getting dragged into practice issues related to the higher level of licensure, in effect providing an RN to the employer at a

    Using RN after your name in a different state.

    Jedrnurse replied to emipn's topic in General Nursing

    NCLEX is standardized, but licensure is granted by the state. If it's a healthcare facility, some executives work under their license, depending on the position. If she's not doing any nursing/nursing...

    Using RN after your name in a different state.

    Jedrnurse replied to emipn's topic in General Nursing

    I would imagine that as licensure stops at the state line, your abbreviations should reflect that. Why in this scenario would a person be putting RN after their name? It's obvious that they're...

    Has anybody else switched from an RN job to a CNA job?

    Jedrnurse replied to hazyblue's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder if you could challenge the CNA exam or if you'd have to sit in on the class. THAT could be

    Has anybody else switched from an RN job to a CNA job?

    Jedrnurse replied to hazyblue's topic in General Nursing

    I imagine the OP could let their license expire and avoid that pitfall. (If they're truly getting out of nursing.) I'm not sure whether you have to wait until renewal time to do it

    Is it appropriate to "show off" that you are a Nurse on social media?

    Jedrnurse replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    I think that a lot of people overshare pretty much everything on social media, so nursing is just one subject amongst many. If folks pimp out the nursing aspects of their lives thinking that they're...

    Good luck to job seekers finding new employers who can wait that long for them to start. I know it's possible, but I imagine it's also an

    Do EHRs Push Nurses to Lie?

    Jedrnurse replied to jeastridge's topic in General Specialties

    There is not enough time to do everything that needs to be done, but EHRs demand that things be documented. "If it wasn't charted, it wasn't done." Well... "Just because it was charted,...

    Jedrnurse replied to anoor16's topic in General Nursing

    If you were licensed in 2019 and changed to stay at home parent in early 2020, you don't have a lot of experience. The sooner you get back to work (the per diem suggestion is excellent) the less of a...

    Is it wrong to stay in med-surg?
