    Anxiety-ridden LPN: RN school and/or LPN work?

    Jedrnurse replied to Joyce37's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Here's a slight variation of one of your choices- Take the LPN job and work at carving away some of the non-nursing courses (one at a time) that the BSN program will require, i.e. core liberal arts,...

    New Job, Did I Make a Mistake?

    Jedrnurse replied to ORTech2RN's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe if it's new, you can help put your "stamp" on the role. Any opportunities there for patient teaching? Case management? Participation in studies? Definitely don't write it off yet. If night shift...

    Suggestions for PRN/part-time work?

    Jedrnurse replied to Aliens05's topic in General Nursing

    So true! If you do this though, the hospital job will have to take priority over the old place, even if you do just per diem there. Hospital schedules can vary widely- as well as be changed with...

    No call no show

    Jedrnurse replied to Dhh-22's topic in General Nursing

    There are only so many ways of being reachable. I've had delayed VMs (and texts) as well. Maybe the facility should send out redundant emails as well? Not foolproof for sure, but added insurance... Or...

    "That's a myth about nursing"

    Jedrnurse replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    It's not just the pay. Institutional benefits get cut more and more. Management doesn't want old-timers around who remember when "the hospital used to (fill in the blank)" or also folks who might...

    "That's a myth about nursing"

    Jedrnurse replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Not just schools. Employers have a vested interest in fostering the over-supply as well. "Don't like your job? Buh-bye. There are a few dozen unemployed nurses and/or new grads looking to fill

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

    I wonder if the lack of insight/hypocrisy on the part of this co-worker is that, or if they've got sociopathic tendencies. (Manipulating the "team" mantra when it benefits them and only them, and...

    New Grad Nurse Arrogance

    Jedrnurse replied to gizmojamz's topic in General Nursing

    I hear what you're saying. When I was a student (and had a tech job), some of my fellow techs were ahead of me in school and transitioned into RN roles at the same hospital. I believe I behaved well...

    Cost vs benefit of BSN at middle age

    Jedrnurse replied to Grengemly's topic in General Nursing

    I finished my RN to BSN when I was 49 years old and had been a nurse for 21 years at that point. It has helped open up job possibilities since

    Can nurses get their licenses revoked or suspended for fighting outside of the workplace?

    BS 94, Lantus 20 units, give HS snack?

    Jedrnurse replied to knotizer12's topic in General Nursing

    Then I'm not sure why the oncoming nurse was concerned. (Unless there is a history of falling BS during the night, or there is a relatively high desired target sugar at bedtime...) Maybe the nurse...

    BS 94, Lantus 20 units, give HS snack?

    Jedrnurse replied to knotizer12's topic in General Nursing

    Depends on the snack, I guess. I'd feel comfortable with someone getting some complex carbs on board prior to going to bed. Is PM snack a regular thing for your patients with diabetes? Would I...

    RN Pre-Employment Tests =(

    Jedrnurse replied to Nastyama171290's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations on passing the NCLEX! I suspect from your post that English is your second language. It's very helpful to be multi-lingual and it can be a strong "plus" for employment, but I highly...
