    No Job Yet

    Jedrnurse replied to ddockery85's topic in General Nursing

    I would wait it out for a little while. In the meantime, have you started working on classes that would help you "hit the ground running" if and when the ER brings you on board? (e.g. ACLS) A lot of...

    Why do nurses cringe when I say I want to be a OR nurse?

    Jedrnurse replied to mariawong's topic in General Nursing

    Go for what you want! If I could stay up on my feet that long without my back going on strike, I'd be tempted to try it

    RN TO BSN Important Question

    Jedrnurse replied to Future Nurse 123's topic in General Nursing

    Generally speaking, if you have your license, the school is accredited, and your GPA meets their requirements, schools would be happy to take your money and let you in.

    Egocentric Managers

    Egocentric Managers

    Jedrnurse replied to BBpeds18's topic in General Nursing

    What I meant was that the behavior mentioned by the OP was quickly attributed to lack of diversity, and when that was "disproven" (for lack of a better term) that incorrect assumption was sort of...

    Egocentric Managers

    Jedrnurse replied to BBpeds18's topic in General Nursing

    You wrote an opinion based on an assumption and were given data/information to the contrary. You sort of just brush it off, though. It veers into confirmation bias territory, something that is so easy...

    Sending Home Any Covid Sx?

    Jedrnurse replied to schoolnurse1118's topic in School

    I don't get the lack of any testing in this equation. As previously mentioned the list of potential sx has expanded enough to include almost ANYTHING up to and including pregnancy. Has common sense...

    FEMA says the COVID-19 death toll is surging ; US experienced 150,000 Covid deaths in 6 months

    Jedrnurse replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Or when he talked about it being "15 cases now, soon it'll be down to zero." Still waiting on the new disinfectant infusion treatment protocols, by the way. Additionally, some of Trump's apologists...

    Advice for new RN graduate..

    Jedrnurse replied to EmmaK's topic in General Nursing

    You may feel antsy now, but time goes by fast. Do yourself a favor, and stay at your first job AT LEAST for a year. Concentrate on learning that job and doing well with your BSN classes. I wouldn't be...

    RN's required to be sitters???

    Jedrnurse replied to anneRN96's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not too sure about that. Listing "door" on one's resume certainly would allow it to stand out from the

    Mask refusal on unit

    Jedrnurse replied to NormaSaline's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Some of the public's reluctance may come from being in a country in which the leading public health entity continues to water down and change guidance because of political pressure from a man who...

    RN's required to be sitters???

    Jedrnurse replied to anneRN96's topic in General Nursing

    I hear you about how mind-numbing boring it can be, but all in all, I'd rather save my PTO for something planned ahead of time. Boring (once in awhile) is preferable to crazy/stressed/manic as some...

    Certification after 15 years

    Jedrnurse replied to Uga4life98's topic in General Nursing

    Refresher courses are not geared towards taking the NCLEX exams, you may be thinking of review courses. If your state allows you to sit for the exam again, you will want to eat, drink, breathe and...

    Wait for open position?

    Jedrnurse replied to freckles23's topic in General Nursing

    ICU experience would give you a leg up for a CCU position down the road as well as open other avenues for you. If you get it are you willing to commit for two years there before looking to transfer...

    HELP! Don't know what to do.

    Jedrnurse replied to lucyrdgz's topic in General Nursing

    Most RN to BSN programs require you to have a nursing license to be admitted. Focus on the NCLEX and take it. The material covered in the RN to BSN programs are not oriented to help you pass it. For...

    Old Grad, No Experience! Odds of Landing a job in NYC?

    Jedrnurse replied to NurseGDJ's topic in General Nursing

    Covid has not increased the demand for nurses as such. For people in some limited specialty areas, maybe. Covid has caused nursing hiring freezes, layoffs and furloughs due to decreased "demand" for...

    Not digging outpatient

    Jedrnurse replied to novemberpromise's topic in General Nursing

    The whole "losing my skills" things is not as bad as people say; you'd be surprised how fast you can jump back on the horse when you need to. Also, don't dismiss the skills you can use in outpatient,...

    Social Media Policy

    Jedrnurse replied to stema's topic in General Nursing

    It should consist of the shortest, most concise written policy ever: Don't do it. No room for interpretation, no grey areas. Nurses that are too stupid to follow it deserve whatever consequences come...

    Graduate asked to work in PCA position?

    Jedrnurse replied to ACNH_PRN's topic in General Nursing

    Good chance to see how the hospital works from a different view. If you're being paid, not losing time from residency hours, AND have no prior direct care experience, I think it's not a bad deal. I do...

    As a Nurse, is it normal to be pushed around doing different jobs at the place you work?

    Jedrnurse replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, the only time I saw admin pitch in was when the Joint Commission was around. After that, they were never seen on the floor again... (cue spooky

    NA vs RN job offers

    This should be required reading for all those subjected to the "nursing shortage" myth. (Yeah, I know that there are regional differences, but overall it's a bunch of
