    NA vs RN job offers

    Jedrnurse replied to harvestmoon's topic in General Nursing

    Double check the practice norm in your state. In some places, it's problematic for licensed nurses to work as CNAs. (They can certainly do the work as it's part of nursing, but formally working in an...

    Help! Got a job offer... working days vs. a job I want more

    Jedrnurse replied to NewGradNurse3's topic in General Nursing

    Is there such thing as switching jobs and relocating too early?

    Jedrnurse replied to HollpRN's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't use your boyfriend's advice about the nursing job market - he has an obvious bias. How long have you actually been at your nursing job? Yes, leaving it early can impact your chances of...

    "I think I made a mistake" ... 30 y/o Dies after Attending COVID-19 Party

    Jedrnurse replied to sirI's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The idea of quarantining just infected people (possibly) works only if we have an efficient testing program in place. We don't. The results of not properly locking down are becoming more than evident...

    Students to quarantine until test results received??

    Jedrnurse replied to nicole.schoolRN's topic in School

    What things are looking like in my state (it changes...) is that people with significant exposure to a possible COVID case quarantine until the case is ruled out. If it's ruled in, the contacts...

    is 1 year enough to get a new job?

    Jedrnurse replied to crystalpan's topic in General Nursing

    Jedrnurse posted a topic in School

    Hi, all. School nurse from MA possibly relocating to the PA/NJ border area. I have a MA DOE (DESE) school nurse license as well as NCSN status, but it seems like I'd have to jump through a lot of...

    Jedrnurse replied to Shelly0928's topic in General Nursing

    I would wait until the pandemic was under some sort of control e.g. a viable vaccination was in use. Also I would (if things are stable for you now) wait and see about how bad the recession was going...

    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

    As long as you're doing these things as the work on your shift instead of in addition to the work on your shift, chill out and enjoy the "break". It's also a good chance to liaise with folks working...
