    Blacklisted from HCA

    Jedrnurse replied to nursingsprettycool17's topic in General Nursing

    When you respond to a post that quoted another post, you can run into the issue of incorrectly attributing authors. I've seen various responses from people to whom that happened as

    Blacklisted from HCA

    Jedrnurse replied to nursingsprettycool17's topic in General Nursing

    I look forward to when the HCA stalker responds to this and explains away all of these points. In fact, I'm shocked it hasn't happened

    CNE Audit in KS

    Jedrnurse replied to tmsnurse's topic in General Nursing

    In my state (MA) we have to e-sign an attestation that we have completed the number of CEs when we're renewing our licenses; there is the possibility of spot audits by the Board. Did you say you'd...

    Blacklisted from HCA

    Jedrnurse replied to nursingsprettycool17's topic in General Nursing

    Amen! If I had a dollar for every post that I've read over the years highlighting the overall "schmuck-iness" of HCA, well, I'd have dinner at a really nice restaurant a couple of times this week....

    What should I wear to pick up paperwork on my day off?

    Jedrnurse replied to medapop's topic in General Nursing

    Not only that, but people should have a little pride in their appearance. I'm actually surprised that this is even a big question. But...we now live in a world in which people go to restaurants...

    Public Health as a first job-- will it limit me?

    Jedrnurse replied to A girl has no name's topic in General Nursing

    While staffing patterns are bad in a lot of places, and it makes it difficult to give decent care, please don't fall prey to the "losing your license" meme. If you research the number of nurses who...

    Public Health as a first job-- will it limit me?

    Jedrnurse replied to A girl has no name's topic in General Nursing

    I actually would be concerned about taking a public health job as a new grad; I don't think that that is a position for someone without any experience. But...a job is better than no job. Also, it...

    I feel unmarketable

    Jedrnurse replied to knat1990's topic in Psychiatric

    You are certainly marketable in psych! If you want to get into pedi, try getting ANY medical job you can, while still keeping your hand in pedi-psych. Then once you've got some medical under your...

    Bedside with an MSN?

    Jedrnurse replied to Sophia P's topic in General Nursing

    Back in the late 80's I saw some big teaching hospitals in the Boston area advertise for this position. This was about the same time that "primary nursing" was taking front stage as the...

    What should I wear to pick up paperwork on my day off?

    Jedrnurse replied to medapop's topic in General Nursing

    I wish flip-flops would just go away. They're unsafe. If a person is out and about they need something more stable and protective to both walk and drive. I would mention something about how they look,...

    Bedside with an MSN?

    Jedrnurse replied to Sophia P's topic in General Nursing

    Direct entry Clinical Nurse Leader, I assume you're referring to? I wouldn't have too much confidence in a clinical leader who is a brand new graduate nurse with no experience. Also, how do you know...

    In theory, do nurses know enough medical knowledge to give advice?

    Jedrnurse replied to BDC's topic in General Nursing

    I hope so; it didn't really come up in my classes. The subject was a sort of "do-it-yourself" professional development post licensure kind of

    Not sure what to do

    Jedrnurse replied to love_of_sunflowers's topic in General Nursing

    Don't do it. Whatever is bothering you about your current job, it is not in anyway near as bad as LTC is in most places. The money will not be worth it. What is it about public health that is...

    cross train ... med surg - tele - ER

    Jedrnurse replied to goingtodoit7's topic in General Nursing

    Go for it. It'll be a good skill to learn and hone, and make you more marketable. You can do it for awhile then look for ED positions elsewhere if your hospital won't hire you for that. And not...

    Mental health nursing and cover letter

    Jedrnurse replied to psych nurse in training's topic in General Nursing

    If you're a new nurse and haven't yet worked in it, I'd avoid framing ANY sort of nursing as your passion. Simply put, pre-experiential ideas about nursing practice can set you up for big...
