    School Nursing

    Jedrnurse replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in School

    Who should pay? Well, most people are required to be responsible for meeting the educational requirements for a given profession. It's nice if the employer kicks in,

    Top Brands - Liquid Bandages

    Jedrnurse replied to komal123's topic in General Nursing

    Took 10 seconds to google a "top 10 best selling" and "top best reviewed" list of liquid bandages. Asking this question in this way is...inconclusive, at best. (Pretty darned odd as

    Waste of time/money to earn extra certifications?

    Jedrnurse replied to Summers3's topic in General Nursing

    The study/prep you do prior to taking the exam will help you increase your knowledge and proficiency, even if you don't "care" about the certification itself. If you can afford the time and expense,...

    Where are the nursing discounts?

    Jedrnurse replied to mel2234's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    In the Grand Scheme of problems facing nursing, consumer discounts is low on the totem pole. Really low. Like wicked

    Applying for first RN position

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

    Check first to see if their automated application process will let you designate multiple positions with one application. "Carpet bombing" a company with applications somehow seems counter-productive....

    Old nurse won't retire

    Jedrnurse replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    What does this mean? People should be in denial about a co-worker's diminished work ability and/or lie about it until the person is "emotionally" ready to

    A little off topic...

    Jedrnurse replied to OhioBPH's topic in School

    Maybe they can develop nursing self-care plans? Something like: Get a life related to the anxiety of getting hit by patient body fluids as evidenced by having the time to think about such minutiae...

    Thinking of quitting my new job.

    Jedrnurse replied to studiousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    'Headstrong and hot blooded' isn't that far from 'brash and can't handle criticism'. Especially for someone still on orientation. If you have the insight to realize the former about yourself, can...

    I want to get out of nursing, but should I do the BSN anyway?

    Jedrnurse replied to amari's topic in General Nursing

    If it's quicker for you now to get a BSN than another bachelor's degree, maybe you should consider it. There are jobs that won't look at you if you don't have a four year degree regardless of the...

    Walmart cashiers wearing gloves?

    Jedrnurse replied to Misstika's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    Okay. BUT...if they don't change the gloves frequently (and I suspect they don't), wouldn't they just end up with germ encrusted gloves, spreading the same microorganisms as they would with bare hands...

    Glucagon training help!!

    Jedrnurse replied to J-lynn's topic in School

    Since glucagon takes 10 - 15 minutes to take effect, I push for only giving it if a kiddo can't take oral quick-acting carbs. If the child is unresponsive or seizing, (just try to get a fingerstick on...

    Night shift nurse required to fill call-off vacancies and scheduling

    AA now vs RN now

    Jedrnurse replied to Verydetermined19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Another thing you could do is make sure that your classes in your AA program align with the non-nursing courses of the BSN programs in your area. Finish your current degree, then apply to those...

    Sitting out another station

    Jedrnurse replied to Anon143's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    There is an unanswered issue here. Do you sit on the "other side" because you're socializing with staff there? Or is there any valid reason not to stay in your work area? Going to the DON or...

    LPN

    Jedrnurse replied to jphill15's topic in General Nursing

    That's a great idea. If people aren't entirely sure about the profession, a shorter program i.e. practical nursing would be a good way to determine if that's the direction to go in. That being said, I...

    New grad RN, can't land a job after nursing school

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

    "to save lives and touch the souls of others..." When you do get a job and start practicing, your work goals may end up a bit more nitty-gritty. (e.g. "make it through this shift relatively on time...

    Fentanyl used in execution

    I made a medication error. What will happen to me?

    Jedrnurse replied to whyohwhy's topic in General Nursing

    The patient being fine WILL mitigate the med error. Believe you me, if he or she were harmed, admin would be more likely to be out for nurse's
