    RN switching specialties....indecisive, unmotivated?

    Jedrnurse replied to Offthehandle's topic in General Nursing

    I originally misread your post, thinking you had worked OR for 15 years right out of school and were "very good at your job". I found it curious that other departments would - as you suggest-...

    Jedrnurse replied to alligatoRN's topic in School

    Middle School is both my kryptonite and the bane of my existence. They're losing (not loosing) the cuteness of elementary school and gaining more attitude. Also, their higher reasoning isn't at the...

    Resignition Timeline?

    Jedrnurse replied to Dragonfly949697's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, if the new job will let you start in the later orientation, I'd stay the 30 days at the old job. Even if you hate it, big corporations have all the power and a burned bridge can bite you on...

    Are We Too PC?

    Jedrnurse replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    "...set beliefs" That phrase scares me. Who will set them? What happens to those who don't share them? Who will be the judge? (We certainly see HUGE religious hypocrisy all the

    Are We Too PC?

    Jedrnurse replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    A lot of people look for things to be offended/become outraged over. That being said... I see and hear a lot of people saying things that don't meet the (low) bar for basic, common decency. Then they...

    Elementary nurses - teacher referral?

    Jedrnurse replied to ruby_jane's topic in School

    Jedrnurse replied to jess11RN's topic in School

    Thank you, you beat me to it! It's all well and good when the patient appears okay (the Epi is working, transport-avoidant EMS personnel) but it can wear off in 15-20

    Unsafe staffing with 4:1 ICU ratios 8:1 on floor.
