    What Do You Think? Can You Be A Nurse If You Can't Do Bedside Care?

    Jedrnurse replied to Kooky Korky's topic in General Nursing

    I don't feel thrilled about the idea of someone who can't do a lot of the job going directly into teaching others how to do it, if this is part of what you meant. I would consider these people "direct...

    $$ to spend

    Jedrnurse replied to arlingtonnurse's topic in School

    Spacers for the asthmatics. They're not always included with the RX (I don't know why not), and they can cost $10 a

    Do ASN/ADN nurses still get hired in the hospital?

    Jedrnurse replied to Wannabenurseneko's topic in General Nursing

    You raise a nuanced point. Lack of staff due to a nursing shortage is not the same as having trouble filling positions because your facility's working conditions absolutely

    Working with a bad back, light duty?? Opinions welcome

    Jedrnurse replied to J89Mike's topic in General Nursing

    Same thing happened to me at exactly the same age. I manage to keep it at bay with everyday exercise and stretching, but when it goes out, it's like being disabled. I echo a previous poster- develop a...

    Do ASN/ADN nurses still get hired in the hospital?

    Jedrnurse replied to Wannabenurseneko's topic in General Nursing

    Future shortage? Doubtful. There may be a surge of retirements, but programs are still churning out grads (ASNs, BSNs ABSNs, etc.), so don't count on a

    Staff Hysteria

    Are you in a union (and have a contract)? Being "required" to provide services to a co-worker on a regular basis might be

    Jedrnurse replied to NurseMrn's topic in School

    This is similar to a recent posting. Unfortunately, as long as people enable the situation, i.e. come in sick, there is no real impetus for admin to fix

    BSN is a joke

    Jedrnurse replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    Beautiful satire of bad writing! Don't forget the often used "ect". (Why people use the abbreviation for electroconvulsive therapy instead of "etc"- et cetera- I'll never know. Maybe there's more...

    Too Sick To Stay Policy?

    Jedrnurse replied to ArryOtter's topic in School

    As obvious as it might seem, there should be a place for common sense and judgement to come into play. Maybe a part of the policy can state if physical symptoms interfere significantly with learning...

    What happens when the nurse is sick?

    Jedrnurse replied to Julius Seizure's topic in School

    No disrespect, but as long as people are martyrs, the situation will remain

    Don't jump on me! But i'm bored already

    Just wait. I bet the reason that the school hasn't been able to hold on to a nurse wasn't

    A new one for me

    Jedrnurse replied to mrsfoster601's topic in School

    I've never had a problem with needing an order for salt water. The intervention is in our "drop downs", just like cold pack or warm pack. (And not on our district MD orders, either) Maybe because I...

    A new one for me

    Jedrnurse replied to mrsfoster601's topic in School

    When I mix up some salt water for a kiddo, I pour a little off into another cup and do a demo of gargling. i wouldn't bother with a PreK or K, but I've done it with students as young as 1st grade....

    Apparently, one of the enzymes in pineapple has an anti-tussive effect. It's also supposed to help with digestion, one of the reasons old school American Chinese restaurants serve a dish of pineapple...

    DNR/DNI: What Age Would You Choose to No Longer Be Full Code?

    Jedrnurse replied to LollaPaupRN's topic in General Nursing

    My personal philosophy is counter to a lot of what nursing entails. When a body can't carry on it's processes without a MINIMUM amount of outside assistance, I believe that nature should take it's...

    Relationship with patient?

    Could you clarify a bit? I'm not sure where you stand on

    Relationship with patient?

    Jedrnurse replied to Nurse2bklingon's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Was this boundary/ethics issue not covered in school? (esp. psych nursing class) If not, your program is

    Have a BSN. Interested in a non nursing masters degree or non bedside nursing job. Help

    Jedrnurse replied to Murse196's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps a Master's degree in Public Health? Although, it's only September, so you've been working 2 months. Hang in there a bit before bailing; you may get more

    I'm 6'4" 210# and never had a problem. (Unless you count getting asked a lot to help with lifts/transfers, etc.) I have to laugh at guys who look their noses down at the idea. If they knew half the...

    $30/hour for new grads in Seattle?

    Jedrnurse replied to rowyie's topic in General Nursing

    You've mentioned BSN a couple of times like that means you get more money. Usually it doesn't, or if so, it's just a minimal

    Time to remove the "nurse" in APN?

    Jedrnurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    More and more, I am seeing posts from people who want to leap straight from taking the NCLEX into an advanced practice role. (Often you see plans of "pre-nursing" students already plotting their CRNA...

    Jedrnurse posted a topic in School

    Hi, all. I'm switching next week from the wee ones (K-5) to the district's alternative high school. I gotta switch my mindset from lice and poopie pants to the "birds and the bees and STDs". (What can...
