    Nursing School Accreditation

    Jedrnurse replied to Finalynn's topic in General Nursing

    More than 20 years experience and they're worried about a scholastic glitch from the 90's?? Beyond ridiculous. Your competence/qualifications should be based on your decades of work experience, not...

    HCA Interview

    Jedrnurse replied to bluescrubs's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have any other possible employment possibilities? I've never worked for an HCA facility, but for years (on AN) I've read nothing but awful things about

    Certification and Work Benefits?

    Jedrnurse replied to CaringForOthers's topic in General Nursing

    Truly. When the number of letters after the nurse's name + RN are greater than that found in the preamble to the Constitution you know there's a

    Certification and Work Benefits?

    Jedrnurse replied to CaringForOthers's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, it may buff up your resume when it comes to advancement or looking for other work, but don't expect too much from a current employer. Treat it more as a learning opportunity (the studying...

    Disrespect & Profanity

    Jedrnurse replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, I would be much more likely to use the term "professor" than "doctor" in those cases. I guess the term "doctor" is burned in my brain as a medical role. (That, and meeting people with "soft"...

    Disrespect & Profanity

    Jedrnurse replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I freely admit to thinking the title more appropriate for medical doctors. If you want to do your PhD dissertation on the migratory patterns of Monarch Butterflies, well, good for you. You'll still...

    What would you do?

    Jedrnurse replied to Hunt er's topic in General Nursing

    It's worth thinking about, but don't fall prey to the "savior-behavior" attributed to some people who idealize nursing. You could do just as much good teaching financial literacy to people desperately...

    Disrespect & Profanity

    Jedrnurse replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I don't even ask "what do you prefer to be called?". It's always Mr./Ms./Mrs./Dr. etc. until they invite me otherwise. My experience is that people will do just that if they want to, while still...

    What to do about DNP and flu shot?

    Precepting A New Grad, While Being A New Nurse Myself

    Jedrnurse replied to Newtons's topic in General Nursing

    The only advantage of being a "new" preceptor that I can think of is that you might have more empathy for a newbie as it wasn't that long ago for you. I agree that a "let's learn together" attitude...

    How would you improve the nursing profession? (beyond better staffing, higher pay, etc)

    Jedrnurse replied to labordude's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think you can separate the two. You would go a long way to "fix" the profession by making it more doable. That would be done by improving working

    How would you improve the nursing profession? (beyond better staffing, higher pay, etc)

    Jedrnurse replied to labordude's topic in General Nursing

    You post about "many additional tasks, sicker patients" etc. then preclude the solution of better staffing/ancillary staff etc... That's like saying "how do I get in better shape?" but please don't...

    Staff drama

    Jedrnurse replied to freckles23's topic in General Nursing

    The whole "charge nurse" thing, i.e. doing management while you're also taking patients, is a farce. Nurse managers should manage, but hey, those oh-so-important meetings won't attend

    Didactic Course Work

    Jedrnurse replied to Mt. Tahan-Future NP's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Confusing nomenclature. I think direct entry is the most commonly used term. If you'll have had no hands on experience before clinical courses start, I'd recommend taking a CNA course and getting some...

    My Visit to China: Could This Be A Reason Why Coronavirus Started There?

    My Visit to China: Could This Be A Reason Why Coronavirus Started There?

    I know. The viciousness that people will unleash to punish someone else's perceived insensitivity reaches levels of hypocrisy that simply
