    Can I be a realtor through nursing school?

    Jedrnurse replied to Rosevee91's topic in General Nursing

    It would seem like it amounts to time (class + study) v. hours at your job- and if it's feasible. The same as it would be with any other work during nursing school. Can you work as a realtor...

    Jedrnurse replied to Pmp606's topic in General Nursing

    New department jitters/discomfort is very normal. Give it a decent chance before jumping ship. On a side note: When I saw the title of your post I was wondering if you regretted gifting your new...

    Any advice on when to put in 2-wk notice??

    Jedrnurse replied to SweetBabyJames's topic in General Nursing

    Don't play around with dates; work the full two week notice. In the end, it'll be nothing, but not burning a bridge is a very good habit to get

    RN to BSN program?

    Jedrnurse replied to lily chen's topic in General Nursing

    The culture of silence and police brutality

    Jedrnurse replied to rebeccaUTA's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, nurses who are constantly looking more at other people's work and reporting them, speaking about their perceived shortfalls to the rest of the staff, also the infamous gotcha-ism of shift wars....

    Hospice or School Nurse?

    Jedrnurse replied to wishfulbiscuits's topic in General Nursing

    Public school jobs can be somewhat political. Don't put too much faith in a former co-worker saying that you'll probably get the school nurse job. I don't say that to be denigrating, but just to...

    HCA StaRN contract

    Jedrnurse replied to babiwang6's topic in General Nursing

    If you do an AN site search for all the posts concerning HCA, you'll find a lot of reading to make you think. I've never worked for them, but after everything I've heard about them, I never

    How to not be discouraged when you've missed something or done something wrong as a New Nurse?

    Jedrnurse replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    How to not be discouraged? 1. Start by making an exhaustive list of all the people you know who are perfect. 2. If you made a mistake, learn from it. 3. If you didn't make a mistake, learn what...

    When to know that it's time to leave your first nursing job?

    Jedrnurse replied to FutureCRNA5's topic in General Nursing

    No job is perfect. If you can hang in for a full two years it'll make subsequent jobs easier to get. Also, all jobs will cause anxiety to greater or lesser degrees. While environments can't magically...

    Jedrnurse replied to adwoafrimp's topic in General Nursing

    Jedrnurse replied to moomin's topic in General Nursing

    Orientation As A Semi-Experienced Nurse is Aggravating

    Jedrnurse replied to AlmostThere19's topic in General Nursing

    Bear with it; it'll be over soon. Actually, it's surprising that they didn't cut your orientation short. Think of explaining your actions as a good self-review of theory. The switching patient...

    Yeah, I can see kids appearing at the school with an elevated temp and parents having disappeared into the Bermuda Triangle. What do you do then? House a potentially COVID 19 student in the health...

    What should I do?
