    Jedrnurse replied to Cal08's topic in General Nursing

    There are some employers who use credit scores as part of their hiring assessment. If this problem has severely "dinged" your score it may affect future job prospects. (I think this phenomenon is...

    Pre nursing student has a question for current RNs

    Jedrnurse replied to HotSauce77's topic in General Nursing

    The greater the person's self-perceived "calling", the more posts they'll end up writing about being disillusioned, burned out, etc. It's a profession with the potential for amazing variety and...

    Radys children hospital reference after interview what does it mean

    Jedrnurse replied to newbieRNmama's topic in General Nursing

    Can you clarify? Do you mean they asked for references before the interview? If so, that sounds like they just wanted a complete application packet. They generally don't decide to call (or not call)...

    Do You Still Believe These 6 Shingle Virus Myths?

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

    I'm still looking for information about re-infection. It was thought that having shingles (I did) "recharged" the body's immune response to the virus making a second bout very unlikely. (Decreasing...

    Is $85k worth it for BSN program with no guarantee acceptance?

    Jedrnurse replied to nhayes1984's topic in General Students

    I'll go ahead and say it- you can go with the expensive program, but there's no guarantee you'll graduate, and after that, no guarantee of passing the boards. It's a little too soon to be predicating...

    To work in public schools as a staff nurse in MA you have to have a minimum of a BSN. An RN without one may work as a substitute. Pay rates (and available hours) as a sub vary greatly from town to...

    Is this insubordination? How do I deal with this PSW?

    Jedrnurse replied to guest1048932's topic in General Nursing

    That would be great as it could also serve as a de facto record of the level of her insubordination- written by HER as a bonus.

    NCSN are you certified?

    Jedrnurse replied to NutmeggeRN's topic in School

    I'm certified. No change in pay, but it allows nurses to forego a master's degree to stay in the public schools past an initial five year period. As such, the exam fee was the best spent money I've...

    Effective use of Nurse Educator position

    Jedrnurse replied to JBMmom's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I don't have any specific suggestions except for one: Don't increase paperwork for floor nurses, whether it's surveys or the like; it will not be good for rapport, i.e. it'll just be one more d***ed...
