    How do you feel on displaying your certification credentials on your badge?

    Jedrnurse replied to choksantos's topic in General Nursing

    Please reread what I wrote; I said nothing about not being an RN. You can be a new grad entry MSN and have minimal expertise. Expertise comes with experience; note the similarity in the

    Do you think nurses aren’t taught enough about general emergencies/basic info about emergency medicine?

    Jedrnurse replied to stacylethani's topic in General Nursing

    What type of care were you "supposed" to provide for your family at home? I have no problem telling someone that their question is not in my area of knowledge. Sometimes I offer to research it for...

    What's your favorite nursing task?

    What else can I do with my BSN

    Jedrnurse replied to Catalin's topic in General Nursing

    Some jobs (even entry level) require a BA/BS of some kind as a minimum requirement to get in the door, so at least it's good for that. You may want to think about some vocation-specific, non-degree...

    Social Media and Doxxing - Your Thoughts???

    Jedrnurse replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    I'm with you. I mourn the death of people having a sense of privacy, and hate that many folks are so desperate for attention and validation that they pimp out the most mundane aspects of their lives...

    First Encounter, Help

    Jedrnurse replied to Guest1119933's topic in General Nursing

    You started off by saying that you envisioned your new career as being "filled with happiness and confidence". That's not how the world of work (often) is, esp. the latter part, particularly for a new...

    Job Opportunity or Relationship

    How do you feel on displaying your certification credentials on your badge?

    Jedrnurse replied to choksantos's topic in General Nursing

    Seems to me that the chief purpose of the ID is so patients (et al.) know who and "what" you are. The more extra letters on the small card, the harder it is for people (particularly lay people) to...

    Bad idea to quit after 6m as a new grad for DNP school?

    Jedrnurse replied to Theanxiousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    You're want to begin studying to become an expert or "doctor" of a profession that you've practiced for six months? Honestly, I have no respect for a program that would accept people in that category....

    Where are my work-at-home homies?

    Jedrnurse replied to Lunah's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats on the new job! Whatever you do though, don't repeatedly share on AN (ad nauseum) that you pull in six figures working from home in your pajamas. I've heard it before and it gets old

    Legal obligation for disaster relief

    Jedrnurse replied to kardz30's topic in Disaster Preparation
