    Is Giving 2 Weeks Notice Ancient Practice?

    Jedrnurse replied to staple1027's topic in General Nursing

    It's an interesting paradox, as more and more employers are "requiring" 4 wks/a month's notice. That doesn't square with letting people go early after they give notice, but maybe in those cases there...

    financial donation to a needy patient

    Jedrnurse replied to bounjour's topic in General Nursing

    Support established social services instead with money and even your time if you can. Become as familiar as you can with what's out there so you can give knowledgeable referrals to your patients....

    Lack of Manners

    Jedrnurse replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    A 3rd grader sauntered into my office this morning with no greeting whatsoever and said "my back." That's it, just those two words. I pointed to my shoe and said "my

    RN, ADN being obsolete

    Jedrnurse replied to lovewaves's topic in General Students

    I'd never call a diploma measly (I know that you're being sarcastic.) Without a doubt, every diploma nurse I've met totally rocked working (or being charge of) the floor. So, maybe their APA papers...

    Bathroom Breaks

    Jedrnurse replied to BluebellRN's topic in School

    Unless this teacher is new to your school, I'm shocked that it all hasn't hit (the bathroom) fan before now. I'm also amazed that the parent contacted you first instead of going straight to staging a...

    Memphis RN wears violently racist t-shirt to polling place when voting on Tuesday

    Jedrnurse replied to klone's topic in Nursing News

    I wholeheartedly agree. Today many people use a twisted meaning of "political correctness" to defend themselves against an expectation of common, basic decency. They also use the concept of...

    Jedrnurse replied to klone's topic in Nursing News

    You're casting an awful lot of aspersions and getting your feathers riled up all over a hypothetical you're posing. Even if you're correct, does the fact that maybe there wouldn't be as much outrage...

    Part time night shift worker. Difficulty sleeping!

    Jedrnurse replied to Pmis's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Do you belong to a gym? Some people benefit from a workout after their shift to help them sleep. (Not everyone though; some folks are even more bright-eyed and bushy tailed.) Also, OTC melatonin can...

    Memphis RN wears violently racist t-shirt to polling place when voting on Tuesday

    Jedrnurse replied to klone's topic in Nursing News

    Not all words are created equal, that's why the concepts of defamation and slander exist, as well as the classic limit on yelling 'fire' in a crowded theatre. Pretty sure that "protesting police abuse...

    Thank you! People act like it's the Second Coming. Also, it REALLY stinks. I hate walking by people who are smoking it- just when things were getting better with fewer cigarette smokers in

    This really happened.

    Jedrnurse replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    Good point. Although, in my scenario the child has inhaler orders, just no med. Our district epi-orders wouldn't cover giving one for asthma emergencies. On the other hand, if it was life or death......

    Jedrnurse replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    Here's a thought: If you were waiting for 911 for an asthmatic who (had no inhaler) and was going rapidly downhill, would you dose them from another student's MDI? (Mind you, you know it's the same...

    Should I take this job!?

    Jedrnurse replied to SICURN1988's topic in General Nursing

    Another consideration- are these facilities national? If so, I would definitely work for them, as it may be possible to transfer into a position near where you are going to be after you move. That...
