    Rehab nursing - Yes or No?

    Jedrnurse replied to mymunnich's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It partially depends on the level of rehab acuity. Some rehabs have a LOT of acute care type scenarios, e.g. wound vacs, IVs, TPN, vents etc. Do you know what kind of patients the facilities you've...

    If you DO NOT teach health classes at your school

    Jedrnurse replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I'm curious. What age group(s) have this required program? Is the curriculum such that it is taught without any of the knowledge that students who will not abstain could

    Am I in the wrong?

    Jedrnurse replied to EmilyjaneLPN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Please take this under advisement: STOP working so much OT. It's bad for your health, your work and your life/work balance. Also, don't expect appreciation from your employer. If they cared, they...

    Enablement Overload

    Jedrnurse posted a topic in School

    It just...gets to me sometimes. I know it's common and it's everywhere, but it still does. (5th grader) "My belly really hurts." "How long has it been bothering you for?" "Like three minutes." I...

    Do healthcare administrators know one another?

    Jedrnurse replied to SuziQ63's topic in General Nursing

    Always assume there's six (or less) degrees of separation. I learned this in a bizarre way years ago, going from an Uno's restaurant to a law

    RN MGR Told me I'm too old.

    Jedrnurse replied to gumbi_12's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Yikes! I think you truly burned that bridge, both by declining a shadow shift and by leaving a semi-snarky VM with HR. To have a case, you'd have to show bias, but by not going through with the...

    New grad struggling to land first job

    Jedrnurse replied to Quota's topic in First Year After Licensure

    But, but...people still post articles here about a nursing shortage!! (Sorry, wanted to make a point, not make you feel worse about your predicament.) Only advice I have is: 1. keep up with an active...

    Coworker violated HIPPA

    You're talking about his business with a stranger (to him) about a private matter and SHE wronged

    Dear coworkers, I'm not your mom (or free PCP)

    Jedrnurse replied to guest464345's topic in School

    Myself, I usually invest in some "grown-up" otc supplies, and allow staff to "borrow" if they want. I don't make recommendations about what they choose to take however. The good will that it engenders...

    Ginger Ale

    Jedrnurse replied to stephrooth's topic in School

    I wonder if it's actually the carbonation that helps, considering the low amount of actual ginger. (And the fact that many people still swear it helps.) It'd be interesting to give kiddos with stomach...

    Poorest lack of judgment EVER!!!

    Jedrnurse replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Good thing you changed districts. I imagine you would have had to have a showdown with this dear heart (not the name that initially came to mind)

    Yeah, but if you're gone in six months you'll never know about any longevity

    California New Grad taking job out of state, what are my chances of getting back to CA?

    Jedrnurse replied to sunflow3rz's topic in General Nursing

    Never assume. When I first graduated, many of the Boston area hospitals had hiring freezes- even the medical center where I was a tech. I was told "they might have something in a few months, you can...

    California New Grad taking job out of state, what are my chances of getting back to CA?

    Jedrnurse replied to sunflow3rz's topic in General Nursing

    So... absolutely no consideration for the hospital that hired the brand new nurse and invested the training/orientation resources? I understand the prevalent rationalization against showing any...

    6 mo, 8 mo, no. If you're moving for your first job, don't ruin the chance by leaving too early. You'll have a BETTER opportunity of landing something in CA if you stay in AZ for a decent amount of...

    A lot of students get "inspired" by an experience during their clinicals (although the real world is quite different from clinical). Have you seen anything during school that peaked your interest? Be...

    New Grad wanting a Specialty Switch

    Regardless, to your current hospital, you're a new grad who has been there less than 3 months. Retract your transfer request if you
