    Jedrnurse replied to lee1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Influenza vaccine

    Jedrnurse replied to Grobyc82's topic in Patient Education

    I get a next day "ache-y, flushed/low grade temp" reaction from the vaccine. I still receive it. Unfortunately, this was a bad year for protection/efficacy of the vaccine, so people will add that to...

    Men not helpful

    Jedrnurse replied to Sarah2018's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The irony is, that as a guy, I usually do much more than my share of lifting, as I'm the first one to be asked to help others do it. But yeah, I've got to agree about the title of your post....

    Pinning ceremony...with NO faculty??

    Jedrnurse replied to Jdover37's topic in General Students

    Weird situation. On the bright side, look at it as freedom to create the type of ceremony that the class itself would like, not some predetermined event that you are being lead through. It could be...

    NP or Physician for men?

    Jedrnurse replied to ImTheCuteBoyNursesLove's topic in Men in Nursing

    If you're 19 and already talking about being an advanced practice nurse, you have no interest in being a nurse. PA or MD would probably suit you

    Should I stay or should I go?

    Jedrnurse replied to MrsHollsRN's topic in General Nursing

    LTC will use you and abuse you. Your primary job will suffer and you'll end up being more relief staff/supervisor than anything. The higher salary will not be higher when you factor in unpaid...

    Will this affect my future career as an RN?

    Jedrnurse replied to Alexxoxox's topic in General Students

    If you've been at the same hospital for three years, it's a decent period, and will look fine on your resume if you leave it. If the factory job will really make a difference for you in how you do in...

    BMI Screenings totally depress me

    Jedrnurse replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I'm 6'4" and last year I had a fifth grader who outweighed me. I don't know how many Mondays I'd ask the kiddos about what they did over the weekend and they said "nothing" or "played video games". If...

    Trump Admin Will Protect Health Workers Who Refuse Services On Religious Grounds

    Jedrnurse replied to herring_RN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics
