    Suspension

    Jedrnurse replied to stasiastar's topic in General Nursing

    I'd go a step further. If the nurse involved is actually questioning the "justice" of the suspension, I'd fire them for that alone. It bespeaks of a character that any facility would be better off...

    Downstaffing

    Jedrnurse replied to KSjo88's topic in General Nursing

    They must figure that (on paper) the money saved covers the cost of inevitable patient care screw-ups that will result from this much "do-see-do" moving of caregivers. I mean, I'm of the sort who...

    First year nurse, feel so miserable and alone

    Jedrnurse replied to stacylethani's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely agree. It would be the wrong time to start a relationship when you're so adversely affected by the night shift. (Plus, if you did meet someone, it'd be difficult when you switched to...

    "Thats the nurses job!"

    Jedrnurse replied to ABRN2012's topic in School

    What IS it about SPED classroom staff, anyway?? Of course it's not across the board, but they seem to be more unreasonable on the whole than other teachers. I constantly bumped up against an ECC group...

    Please Help! Abandonment and Retro Pay

    Rejected from interview?

    Jedrnurse replied to Edcarlosliu's topic in General Nursing

    With the money that programs charge, you are doing them a favor by attending. Also, don't get too caught up in the "prestige factor" of these type of schools. Solid and dependable ones are just...

    Quit my job

    Jedrnurse replied to Mcmtg's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Well, you worked there for over a year and suddenly the danger to your practice was so great that you quit with no notice? There's a good chance that this will come back to bite

    New to Home Health- Making no money!

    Jedrnurse replied to shinyhappy1's topic in Home Health

    I've heard that salary can be problematic as well, particularly when the agency overloads you with too many

    Florida Hospital Orlando Pay Scale/ Working Environment

    Jedrnurse replied to ydnewrn's topic in General Nursing

    It's great that you got good feedback about this particular place, but be aware that- in general- Florida has a reputation for having little or no worker protections (other than what federal law...

    Minoring in Spanish VS. learning it on your own

    Jedrnurse replied to baileyxmolto's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree with part of this. To be an interpreter, you need credentials, but as a nurse you will be caring for Spanish speaking patients on your assignments. You need the language ability, not the...

    4 months until start date....

    Jedrnurse replied to unussunu's topic in General Nursing

    Four months is a really long time to wait, especially since you say "potential start date". But if you want it, I would combine options one and two. Continue there as a tech but still look for other...

    "I am a nurse!"

    Jedrnurse replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I definitely stay incognito in medical situations. I only share experience if I have to provide help to family members/S.O. at home s/p

    Documenting your life away

    Jedrnurse replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    It makes me chuckle when people bust out the axiom "if it wasn't charted, it wasn't done." Because I've been around enough to know that "just because it was charted doesn't mean it was

    Family Member Watching Pro-terror/ Anti-America/ Anti-Semitic video

    Unsafe Nurse Staffing Ratios - Not Just in the U.S.

    Jedrnurse replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Does Australia have universal health care? (I would think that would affect the profit motive to some degree, if profit seeking is what is keeping staffing too

    What do nurse managers do all day?

    Jedrnurse replied to Rexie's topic in General Nursing

    I mean this with good humor (cause you definitely gave me a chuckle)... I think you mean "rogue" consultants, as rouge consultants are usually found at Sephora wanting to paint your face and sell you...

    Did I make a med error?

    Jedrnurse replied to Emilythenewgrad's topic in General Nursing

    Does your facility have multiple nursing coverage shifts? "Back in the day" we used to do 24 hr checks on the orders, i.e. night shift would double check and co-sign any orders that were written...

    OMG JACHO IS HERE!

    Jedrnurse replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    Rather pompous, isn't it? They don't even bother mentioning what their commission does. Sort of ominous, like that old movie "The Star

    Do an RNs still maintain an LPN license after completing a bridge program

    Jedrnurse replied to beejay0829's topic in General Nursing

    In my state it's possible. It may seem unusual or to not make sense, but some people do maintain both licenses. (Of course they have to pay the money and fulfill the continuing ed

    Appropriate time to apply to other positions?

    Jedrnurse replied to aeris99's topic in General Nursing

    If the office positions are in the same corporation, check the company/HR policy about internal transfers. Maybe that will settle your one year question one way or

    Personal mental health

    I'm with you- I started kickboxing last summer and it's the best thing I've done in awhile. Exercise, stress release, improved confidence, and best of all, the chance to visualize punching certain...
