    New job and asking for time off

    Jedrnurse replied to direw0lf's topic in General Nursing

    In my experience, it's best to present these dates right from the start as part of the hiring process. Be aware though, I've heard from people that they've been told "okay" early on and then had the...

    Preparing to get my BSN

    Jedrnurse replied to Trampledunderfoot's topic in General Nursing

    Why do you phrase it like "BSNs" are a separate species? They are RNs who happen to have a bachelor's degree. Yes, it gives you more potential job mobility and opportunities, but there's no secret...

    Two Jobs: Full-time night, Part-time day

    LPN to RN woes

    Jedrnurse replied to Lynker's topic in General Nursing

    It just seems to me that you should find out if you like being a nurse before committing to going further. Also, it's not an all-or-nothing thing. You can certainly work on taking non-nursing core...

    Millennial Nurses Have Issues

    Jedrnurse replied to Nurse Yoni's topic in General Nursing

    The OP seems to be trying to disprove Millennial myths. The writing could use a little tinkering for clarity, but I don't think she/he was attempting to start a generational feud. Your remark...

    Private or State school?

    Jedrnurse replied to miss_mia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If a private school will accept you for nursing with a low GPA, they're probably just looking for your $$$. Take your time at the state school and work on bring your GPA up with the pre-reqs. If that...

    Jedrnurse replied to Nurse Yoni's topic in General Nursing

    I'm interpreting this as more of a vent than of an idea to convince nurses

    Any month-long programs to get continuing ed credits all at once?

    Boston College's School of Nursing has a strong department of continuing education. (and a little expensive...) I bet if you want to visit the Boston/New England area you could arrange the timing for...

    Meeting the Sr. Director of Operations for an Interview ??

    Jedrnurse replied to Nursing2019BSN's topic in General Nursing

    Think of it as a good way to internally network. (If you end up working there.) Don't be afraid; this person gets constipated if he doesn't eat enough fiber- just like regular folks

    Use it or...lose it? A&P and Nursing

    Jedrnurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've found that a lot of details from A&P have been memory-purged, big time. If it's not applicable to my immediate area of practice, the stuff from class fades into oblivion. Occasionally I wish...

    Saying No to extra shifts, is it bad if you're new?

    PTO not in the budget for remainder of year

    Jedrnurse replied to galaxygirl17's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, I think it's better to get the hell out of Dodge and find a new job then stay somewhere that cuts my pay or freezes my rightful PTO. Employers will continue to get away with it if they're...
