    Mom Wants Me to Become an RN as Backup... But I Don't

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

    It's a lot of work for something you don't want to do. That's if you finish the program and then pass the boards. That's not a given. I wish people (not you) would stop throwing around "getting your...

    Gap year before nursing school?

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

    You're 20 years old and have a full-time job in a preschool, but said you have lots of healthcare experience. What have you done? I'm very

    What is a surgical clearance nurse?

    Jedrnurse replied to rearviewmirror's topic in General Nursing

    I'm guessing it deals with pre-authorizations (from insurance companies) for surgery, perhaps...? Let us know when you find

    Dealing with a childish coworker?

    Jedrnurse replied to LPNewbie's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You'd be surprised. There's "someone" for everyone. (Also probably resulting in a pack of "little Phils" terrorizing unsuspecting Elementary School teachers

    Very concerned

    Jedrnurse replied to ButterflyRN90's topic in General Nursing

    Reviewing the conditions/patho involved? Sure. There are especially good online resources available to review T1DM. But conflating that with nursing diagnosis rigamarole?

    Landing a care partner job as a new nursing student

    Jedrnurse replied to jr1991's topic in General Nursing

    No problem. Sounds like a classic "Patient Care Technician" job. Honestly, you might be in (initially) over your head when doing direct care until you take Fundamentals in nursing school. Does the...

    Landing a care partner job as a new nursing student

    Jedrnurse replied to jr1991's topic in General Nursing

    What does the term mean in that facility? Have you seen a job description? Some facilities have in-house training programs for unlicensed care

    Hole in MARs

    Jedrnurse replied to kcochrane's topic in General Nursing

    For those who "grew up" in the days of paper MARs, holes were a big thing. Especially in LTC, where a given patient's MARs can be VERY numerous, with some things needing to be signed off QID, for...

    Can't land an interview.. what am I doing wrong?

    Jedrnurse replied to WildWillows's topic in Nursing Career

    ...except if it's more the shyness issue instead of the resume. You did say you landed some interviews, yes? Have you done some mock/practice interviews at a career center? Maybe they could give you...

    Need help on resigning!

    Jedrnurse replied to Snr1003's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like the "well has been poisoned", so stop drinking the water... HR is not your friend or ally, so don't count on anything from them. If you do resign, do it according to their policy so they...

    Shall I take this job?

    Jedrnurse replied to bonjour79's topic in General Nursing

    Well, if the company feels like that salary, lack of differential, and LONG delay for PTO is how their staff should be treated, I'd say no. And, as a galling bonus, they want to extract a promise to...

    When does HIPPA no longer apply?

    Jedrnurse replied to GuineaPigs's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    CEU

    Jedrnurse replied to Cherrmann's topic in General Nursing

    Other than when they actually provide some CEU activities, I've never had an employer who paid for them. What are the requirements for your state? You can get many approved CEUs for free and if not,...

    Jedrnurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    You've all seen them (sometimes on AN)- a person who believes with all their heart that a practice is correct while you and the rest of the civilized world know they're wrong. What's the weirdest,...

    For Reelz

    Jedrnurse replied to NutmegNP's topic in Advanced Practice

    I'm not an advanced practice nurse. I bet routine add-ons can be wearing. But... Don't doing vital signs give you extra assessment time with the patient? If you were to give vaccinations, wouldn't...

    Pre reqs Only

    Jedrnurse replied to thechristerr's topic in School, College Programs

    I've never seen an admissions policy that will look at courses in isolation. Mind you, every school has some latitude to 'bend the rules', but they need to feel like there's a good enough reason to do...

    Support Planned Parenthood Today!

    Jedrnurse replied to elkpark's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You know, I get (but don't necessarily agree with) the "taking of unborn life" argument. I can see how people arrive to that conclusion. What REALLY gets me is the folks who also would deny access to...
