    I hate fake call outs.

    I hate fake call outs.

    Jedrnurse replied to KonichiwaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, actually, abuse of sick time does become a co-worker's business when their lives are disrupted because of either working short or being mandated... Also, people are quick to come up with all the...

    What games DO you play? (On your break, of course)

    Jedrnurse replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have time for games at work. I'm too busy grabbing my 8 hours of beauty

    Managing a Department/No Experience in Area

    Jedrnurse replied to Jory's topic in General Nursing

    I believe that success in this scenario would be the extremely rare exception. I highly advise against it as the more probable outcome won't be

    Hardship: none of my business or a problem?

    Jedrnurse replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    Almost identical, except for focusing on the firing question. Same race-baiting, even after all the feedback from last

    Quitting job after only 8 months

    Jedrnurse replied to Alexxoxox's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes people respond right after reading the OP and without having seen subsequent postings. I have read posts in which people are raked over the coals repeatedly because mea culpas were far down...

    What's your favorite nursing task?

    Jedrnurse replied to beekindRN's topic in General Nursing

    Either helping with the first post-op shower or foot care. They're basic but important, and usually bring a sense of relief to the

    RN as PCT???

    Jedrnurse replied to lovelyc's topic in General Nursing

    My understanding is that this might be affected by the Nursing Practice Act of your state. (Some may allow it while others don't.) This is on top of individual facility policy; an institution may not...

    I hate fake call outs.

    Jedrnurse replied to KonichiwaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, no. Then it would be PTO. And even then there would be a process for requesting to use it. RE: "as they please". See what happens if photos of their "sick weekend" end up on social media (at...

    Cry me a river...?

    Jedrnurse replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    So, some crying as a form of manipulation.

    Cry me a river...?

    Jedrnurse replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    That's my point. I've never seen it with the nurses I've worked with over the years. I'm going by posts on AN. Didn't know if it's a new "thing" or just over represented by some people who share...

    Possible, but I'm not sure that crying at work inspires confidence in a professional's

    How much have you changed?

    Jedrnurse replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    My biggest change is becoming what I call a "rationist" (if that's even a word; I guess it is now.) I firmly believe in sane and humane rationing/limiting of healthcare

    Jedrnurse replied to nurse2592's topic in General Nursing

    I've done it. Don't. Also, there are productive ways to make your current job more stimulating. If you can't, try to find a different non-bedside job that is. There's a lot of variety out there if you...

    RNs and up - Do you really use all of the "gen-ed" course material on the job?

    Jedrnurse replied to RomaniGypsy's topic in General Nursing

    When I took micro at a Massachusetts school, it was specialized- Microbiology for Healthcare Professionals. If I were designing a nursing program from the ground up, I'd gear a lot of things e.g....

    Jedrnurse replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    Best of luck with your situation; it seems like you're doing your best to not let circumstances get you down. I gotta ask, though- Why the focus on the ethnicity of people? If they were white, would...

    RN school while in High School?

    With an idea like this, it's more like "All 20 (years old) by 2020". Imagine nurses not old enough to

    LOW sugar, check ketones?

    Jedrnurse posted a topic in School

    I've had a 4 year old with T1D at school this year, and he's been very interesting. Sometimes he comes in with a blood glucose that's rollercoastering, sometimes stubbornly low, at other times it's up...
