    Got an Offer!

    Middle school? Oh. Recommendation? Line yourself up a therapist

    Likelihood of finding an L&D position with no women's services experience?

    Jedrnurse replied to EKB10796's topic in General Nursing

    Throw yourself into the M-S job and learn as much as possible. And, I truly mean this in a helpful way, make sure you don't let a bad attitude at the onset make your experience worse than you're...

    Accelerated BSN Funding

    Accelerated BSN Funding

    Jedrnurse replied to LookOutForMiracles's topic in General Nursing

    Well, having more debt definitely stinks. Just to add more angst- why are you so sure you'll find a job afterwards? (This site is replete with new grad stories talking about their difficulties getting...

    Chemical Castration Condition for Parole in Alabama

    Jedrnurse replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    If you're worried about the ethics of hormone manipulation, I bet the negative health effects of the medication are less harmful than the cumulative effects of staying in

    Per Diem Job in Different Specialty?

    Jedrnurse replied to 2019RNBSN2019's topic in General Nursing

    My guess is that it would be difficult. Employers look for per diem specialty pool staff to be ready to "hit the floor running", sort of like travelers. You'd probably have more luck transferring to...

    Trump's 'religious conscience'

    Jedrnurse replied to PediatricMA's topic in General Nursing

    I've been thinking of founding a religion. I'll include a big list of everything I don't want to do as well as a list of types of people I'd prefer not to deal with and then...Shazam! My life (and...

    Is it wrong to leave a job during orientation?

    Jedrnurse replied to Lovethenurse2b25's topic in General Nursing

    If a person knows it's not for them I think it's better to leave early than before being part of the staffing

    How do you handle a patient who talks a lot?

    Jedrnurse replied to Joanne15's topic in General Nursing

    If you know you're headed to that room, set your phone alarm to go off in 5 or so minutes. When it does, tell the patient you have another patient matter that you need to attend to. (Which you...

    LTC New grad, already wants to quit

    Jedrnurse replied to rmsRN95's topic in General Nursing

    A couple of things. First, you said that you wanted to be on the ortho-spinal where you "can progress because you are familiar with the unit." That's certainly not a part of progressing, i.e. staying...

    Going bowling with a former pediatric patient who's moved on to the adult world

    Jedrnurse replied to oneinfour's topic in General Nursing

    I understand where you're coming from, but don't do it. Rule of thumb: no socializing with patients/former patients (especially since he's still a patient of your facility even though it's a different...

    Clinical resource nurse

    Jedrnurse replied to jml436's topic in General Nursing

    Also, be careful about "additional duties as assigned" on top of getting pulled to be a one-person float

    Nurses Are Leaving the Bedside In Droves

    Jedrnurse replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    I think you're conflating "delegatable work" and "nurse work", as everything a CNA does is part of nursing. Does doing bed baths and bedpan duty keep you from other things that aren't delegatable?...

    Is this for Me?

    Jedrnurse replied to Mr. Confused's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's not so much a factor of age, but just that there are a fair amount of posts from second-career folks (becoming nurses) that say that they wish they hadn't. (Also, though you didn't mention it as...

    Florida Board of Health Suspends Healthcare Licenses Over Student Loan Defaults

    Nurses secretive about getting another job

    Jedrnurse replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. That quote didn't exactly paint the OP in glowing colors. It just seems that this thread went from 0 - 60 pretty

    Nurses secretive about getting another job

    Jedrnurse replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    People got harsh on this post fast. But I will say, depending on how well I got along with a work friend, I might think it...peculiar that they didn't mention to me that they'd be starting elsewhere....

    Should nurses join a Union or not really?

    Jedrnurse replied to ScaredRN's topic in General Nursing

    You can't personally join a union. The facility has to be unionized, and that process takes a lot of time and effort. You could look for jobs at places that are unionized, but the situation and...

    Nurses Are Leaving the Bedside In Droves

    Jedrnurse replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    A lot of these suggestions will be really difficult to implement unless the NP profession gets their act together and deals with the substandard programs that have sprung
