    Patient waking up during CPR

    Jedrnurse replied to LisaStone's topic in General Nursing

    ...happens in the movies and on television shows all the time. And the patients look great. And somehow the staff don't sweat while doing compressions. And no bones are

    CNAs sleeping on the job... What can I do as a new nurse?

    Jedrnurse replied to jessica0rae's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Re: A - I think you're sort of agreeing with me...? Re: B - Yeah, but normally the assignment (delegation) is done at the beginning of the shift when all staff are conscious. If people are already...

    CNAs sleeping on the job... What can I do as a new nurse?

    Jedrnurse replied to jessica0rae's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Usually, I completely agree that people overplay the Chicken Little "My license! My license!" But... if you're delegating a task to someone who you KNOW is not capable of carrying it out i.e. they're...

    Horrible first job - need advice

    Jedrnurse replied to PAnurse94's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I agree. I think that sometimes the lawyer route is overused, but this scenario seems to scream the need to consult with

    Day vs Night Personalities

    Jedrnurse replied to ScottMedicRN's topic in General Nursing

    Funny, in my experience (I've done both shifts), some noc people are there because they're not "people" persons and like the decreased interaction with crowds like those that are around on day...

    How soon is too soon to quit a new nursing job!

    Jedrnurse replied to Nurse4evervdw's topic in General Nursing

    The transfer policy is usually set by the facility and can be found in the employee handbook- have you checked there? Most places have a rule of thumb of one year, but no transfer is

    About the Nature of Nursing

    Jedrnurse replied to yoganurse2018's topic in General Nursing

    1. You triggered my pseudo-PTSD with mention of one of the chief B.S. (NOT bachelor's of science) nursing theories. For shame. 2. Why would you mention Florence Nightingale- who actually did real and...

    Benefits over passion?

    The ANA supports physician funding over safe patient ratios!

    Jedrnurse replied to DannyBoy8's topic in General Nursing

    That's sort of what I inferred from the quote re: pay. Some people focus on the fact that nurses are well-paid. (Depends on where you work and what kind of work you do, but that's another story.) Good...

    Will having one W affect my application to the nursing program?

    Jedrnurse replied to gwynth's topic in General Students

    You will have to retake it as the class is a requirement, so if you get a good grade the first "W" will be not important. I'm more concerned about your comment, "I don't think I deserve a C when life...

    The ANA supports physician funding over safe patient ratios!

    Jedrnurse replied to DannyBoy8's topic in General Nursing

    Pay doesn't matter in a safe staffing issue. You can make $50 hour but that doesn't magically enable you to give decent care with an unreasonable assignment. Or is the ANA is lobbying for lower...

    Any other places doing "Hospital Employees' Week" instead of Nurses' Week?

    Jedrnurse replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Damn. Do they make "Happy Belated National Penguin Day"

    Any other places doing "Hospital Employees' Week" instead of Nurses' Week?

    Although this may come off as "crusty", I think the whole "fill-in-the-blank day/week" concept is sort of

    Jedrnurse replied to Sol95's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's good for overall work morale and rapport. It helps you become more in tune with what the routine and expectations are for your ancillary staff co-workers. Also, it's a real "back to...

    No BSN required if 20 yrs or more experience!

    Jedrnurse replied to Emergent's topic in Nursing Career

    It's an interesting turn of events, the waiver of their previous BSN requirement if you have experience. Seems like common sense. But please, please, PLEASE let this thread not be high-jacked to...
