    Jedrnurse replied to jplcp's topic in Nursing Career

    If I understood you correctly, you have 6 months experience- ten years ago- and now you want to start in with hours that most people consider cherry. I think you may be in competition with candidates...

    Patient is a sex offender with a tracker on his ankle

    Jedrnurse replied to Alex_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, registry listings are public knowledge and are meant to be accessible to the community. Not saying that it was the best idea to open that can of worms in the inpatient setting, but nothing...

    Want to go to nursing school, but I'm out of the country for 3 years.. Advice please

    Jedrnurse replied to ggirl91's topic in General Students

    I would try to take as many "core courses" i.e. non-nursing requirements as possible online through an American college (to facilitate acceptance/transfer of credit) while you're away. If you can...

    Too many screening questions?

    Jedrnurse replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I suspect that many of these screenings, like so many things in nursing, are implemented by those who don't actually DO nursing. (or at least

    July Only Camps

    Jedrnurse posted a topic in Camp

    Hi all. I've done a couple of summers of camp nursing and enjoyed it. Right now, I work an extended year at a charter school and couldn't do the traditional dates. (through most of August) Is anyone...

    RN to pharmacist..??

    Jedrnurse replied to Madebymelo's topic in General Nursing

    RPh programs are all doctorates now. Has anything changed about your study habits? The sciences will still be "waiting" for you if you go for it. Maybe you could dip your toes in the water and start...

    Do you have a free charge nurse on your unit?

    Jedrnurse replied to EllaBella1's topic in General Nursing

    The concept of the charge nurse taking either a full or slightly reduced patient (I'm sorry, "customer") assignment is ridiculous. If I'm a licensed nurse, my first priority is to my practice, i.e. MY...

    Dating a former patient

    Jedrnurse replied to sarahg88's topic in General Nursing

    So....you didn't get the answer you were looking for, so you lash out? Just so you know, no one is "meant to be" with anyone else. That constitutes magical thinking, i.e., a component of some mental...

    On-call or cancelled? That is the question!

    CALL OUT & MAKE UP DAYS in NJ...? IS IT MANDATORY OVERTIME?

    Jedrnurse replied to GRAB1's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. Often times, however, management takes the easiest route. A blanket policy is less work than keeping up with individual attendance records and implementing progressive

    CALL OUT & MAKE UP DAYS in NJ...? IS IT MANDATORY OVERTIME?

    Jedrnurse replied to GRAB1's topic in General Nursing

    You really don't know why they do this? Because some people have a tendency to use sick time to go to weekend social events- not 'cause they're sick. Management wants to discourage this. Additionally,...

    ADN vs BSN

    Jedrnurse replied to kerri76's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I keep hearing about these magical employers that will "pay for me to get my BSN". Believe me, while SOME employers have SOME tuition reimbursement, those paying for "the whole enchilada" are few and...

    Jedrnurse replied to cnsrn1's topic in General Nursing

    Some things don't change, like A & P; if your book you had to get was good- keep it! My pharmacology book from school was great. I buy the updated edition every few years. Online sources can be...

    Glutton for Punishment?

    Jedrnurse replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    Academia is an industry, and they have a vested interest in perpetuating "credential inflation". I've heard talk of some people pushing an MSN as entry-level for practice. We haven't even settled the...
