    Is it jealousy ??

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

    Usually. However, I have met individuals whose years of "experience" just gave them more time to perfect the art of being an idiot... Somehow they stay off the radar and/or end up working in a place...

    Debating Going back to school

    Jedrnurse replied to Rayacj's topic in General Nursing

    If you got your BSN you'd have more flexibility in the job market if you want to make a change some day. Also, you may find out that you like the intellectual stimulation. That being said, vet the...

    Jedrnurse replied to Barbie8808's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    If you're a troll, get a life. If you're really a new grad in this situation, the above statement is true. With a glib attitude like this you shouldn't practice. (And yes, I get the

    Giving OTC medications to your aides/coworkers?

    Jedrnurse replied to knotizer12's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I kept a "grown-up" supply of stuff at my elementary school health office. I had no problem helping a teacher/custodian/principal out. It helped foster good co-worker

    New Grad Orientation Contracts

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

    Is it a good hospital? is it a residency in a specialty that will benefit and further your career? Having a 2 year (or more) stint on your resume for your first nursing job is a good thing. That being...

    Assisted living turned nightmare

    Jedrnurse replied to danij040866's topic in Nursing Career

    This level of care is skilled nursing, not assisted living. Isn't it illegal to accept (and ostensibly provide care) for residents (NOT patients) who are beyond the facilities

    Where Should I start?

    Jedrnurse replied to Nurse2b_Cook's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Try taking a CNA course and getting a part-time job doing patient care. I was a patient care tech before (and during) school and it certainly made clinicals

    What can I do with my nursing degree?

    Jedrnurse replied to nishali78's topic in General Nursing

    So polite of you to list it alphabetically. Unless...you didn't cut and paste, did you? It's not as meaningful if you didn't manually type it

    Nurse dating former patient?

    Jedrnurse replied to mzsuccess's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Jedrnurse replied to walxii's topic in General Nursing

    Your post has lots of typos/errors. I point this out to ask if perhaps you have difficulty focusing on details. Also, do you recheck things (that should be rechecked)? Maybe you could come up with a...

    Charge nurses vs. Asst nurse managers

    Jedrnurse replied to MyAimIsTrue's topic in General Nursing

    I suppose at least it's better for anyone made to be charge nurse. I've read a lot of posts here describing people having an almost (or actual) full patient assignment on top of charge

    Leaving Nursing

    Jedrnurse replied to KSjo88's topic in General Nursing

    Good for you for moving on. One request- Please resist becoming one of those healthcare administrators who perpetuates the practices and policies that help make nursing so

    I never thought I'd break down and say this, but nursing isn't for me

    Jedrnurse replied to neongloss's topic in General Nursing

    In the interim, could you take a part-time non-nursing job on the days that you're not working? A little bit of reduction in financial stress would be good, and doing something non-nursing might...

    Jedrnurse replied to carlarenee02's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly, you will find that you have fewer job possibilities after graduation and licensing due to your age. I'm not saying that there won't be any opportunities, but there will be fewer. This may...
