    How Do You Fit In 30mins Of Exercise In Your Work Day?

    Jedrnurse replied to RegenerativeNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I think trying to get your "daily" at work is setting oneself up for failure. Better to have dedicated exercise time on your own time. This is not to say that you shouldn't maximize things while...

    Preceptor is SO BAD!

    Jedrnurse replied to Guest606's topic in General Nursing

    I will think about what you said. I am curious about something though, and not in an attacking kind of way. Why do you all-caps GUIDANCE and LEADERSHIP but not begin any of your sentences with a...

    Creating a nursing music program at my hospital.

    Jedrnurse replied to SoCal student's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, don't recreate the wheel. While you can't call yourself a music therapist, you're essentially going to be facilitating...music

    Jedrnurse replied to truejewel82's topic in General Nursing

    RN providing total care for 4-5 patients

    Jedrnurse replied to _littlemissBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Do male nurses face gender bias in nursing education?

    Jedrnurse replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    Why Do Nurses Quit?

    Jedrnurse replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Having started off working as a CNA under a charge nurse who trained during WW2, I think diploma nurses rock. (I've also worked with incredible LPNs) But how would your proposal change the abysmal...

    Jedrnurse replied to 1Jessie86's topic in General Nursing
