  1. Sunday Service and Weekend shift

    jaderook01 replied to gigglebotRN's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    OP: You will simply have to decide if you can stay in your current position with the expectation that you'll work some weekends. I'm Orthodox Christian and I take my faith seriously. I love going to...

  2. Hs senior in need of advice please!

    jaderook01 replied to MelaneyL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I went to nursing school with a few people that went to community college and then transferred to a university BSN program. It worked out well for them. If you live somewhere like Tennessee, then...

  3. Leaving Bedside Nursing

    jaderook01 replied to Deebuzz's topic in Nursing Career

    Pleasantly disengaged. This is it- exactly! Well

  4. Badge picture help!

    jaderook01 replied to Danielledlt's topic in General Nursing

    It's like a driver's license picture. Concentrate more on your hair, makeup, and not looking hung

  5. Leaving Bedside Nursing

    jaderook01 replied to Deebuzz's topic in Nursing Career

    First of all, it is okay to acknowledge that you don't like doing something. It's especially good if you're also doing something about it and making a new plan for yourself. Bedside nursing isn't...

  6. BSN or Biology

    jaderook01 replied to allie127's topic in General Nursing

    I mean, there is nothing wrong with having a back up plan, but it sounds like you don't want to be a nurse at all. If you want to be a doctor then go ahead and concentrate on putting your energy into...

  7. Gross Things Patients Do

    jaderook01 replied to bluegeegoo2's topic in General Nursing

    Same!

  8. Not a Near Death Experience: A Shared Death Experience

    jaderook01 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I absolutely believe you. When I was sixteen, I was on a plane back home when I just knew my grandfather was gone. However, I had such a sense of peace about it. I spent the time reminiscing about...

  9. What is 'Free water's effect?

    jaderook01 replied to SUIN's topic in General Nursing

    Why do I feel like someone is trying to get everyone to answer one of their homework

  10. Days to Nights

    jaderook01 replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    I actually lost weight on night shift (and flipped my meals- dinner for breakfast and breakfast for dinner). Night shift actually isn't bad at all. My only complaint is that my first day off always...

  11. Starting nursing school at 37...

    jaderook01 replied to LindsayRadun's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I passed my NCLEX at age 40. I don't regret becoming a nurse later in life at all. In fact, I'm grateful I had another career first. I feel like I'm exactly where I need to be right now in life-...

  12. Does anyone else ever envy their patients?

    jaderook01 replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    On the contrary, I thank my lucky stars I've been blessed with relatively good health, lifestyle habits, and come from a family that raised me to not feel entitled. My patients should envy me,...

  13. Responding to annoying co-worker who asks you to work for them every week?

    jaderook01 replied to NurseUnforgetable's topic in General Nursing

    Nancy Reagan had a campaign with a memorable slogan. The advice from said slogan can be applied to your situation. "Just say

  14. Do I have to get my masters?

    jaderook01 replied to PrincessAlexis's topic in General Nursing

    Death and taxes, darling. Unless you're being held captive in a university somewhere and being forced to pay tuition and turn in assignments for food, then no, you don't have to get a

  15. My parents don't want me to become nurse but I don't care anymore

    jaderook01 replied to JayLuv108's topic in General Nursing

    "Nurses would work for you if became a doctor. (Because I'm not a leader, I'm follower. I'm not good at giving instructions but I'm good at following them.)" What is this about? I don't work for any...

  16. I'm not sure I'm cut out for this

    jaderook01 replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in General Nursing

    I was a teacher that became a nurse. I am not all that altruistic either, when I'm being completely honest. People don't really put nurses or teachers on pedestals out there in the real world....

  17. Unprofessional to mention you have other patients?

    jaderook01 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    If I was told that they don't care about other people, I'm afraid I would have to respond that I don't have that luxury and thus have to prioritize who needs me the most at any given

  18. Expectations being a Nursing Student

    jaderook01 replied to KeekesRenea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, I had to quit my job to go to nursing school because the classes conflicted with my work schedule. There is no way I could have taught during the times I had to attend class. I was on an...

  19. Quitting without notice

    jaderook01 replied to Summer247's topic in General Nursing

    Doing so is the height of unprofessional behavior. If nursing is a profession, then act like a professional. Suck it up for two

  20. Favorite Motivational Quote

    jaderook01 replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    "Everybody wants to change the world, but nobody thinks about changing himself."

  21. What Did You Get For Nurses Week?

    jaderook01 replied to iPink's topic in General Nursing

    Our manager made us cupcakes. I got a card in the mail from our CNO. We all got a free meal ticket for the hospital cafeteria. They did free health screenings and had some other stuff going on that...

  22. Standing orders (Please explain)

    jaderook01 replied to ScreamBoxDolly's topic in General Nursing

    Example: Pt complains of chest pain and/or has a run of v-tach or something of that nature. Per protocol, I can put an order in for a stat EKG for the doctor to sign later. I can also put in an...

  23. Is there still a nursing shortage?

    jaderook01 replied to Skippy97's topic in General Nursing

    This is just me talking without looking at facts to back up anything. So- pure opinion- in other words. There is a shortage. However, hospitals are getting rid of middle management nursing...

  24. Hmm...that's nice

    jaderook01 replied to DiplomaNurseRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I haven't even been a nurse for a full year yet, but every single time that I've been told that a patient's family member was a nurse, that person proved to be an out and out loon. I was pulled to the...

  25. Do you think nurses get special treatment?

    jaderook01 replied to NurseLife88's topic in General Nursing

    My breasts have never gotten me out of a ticket. The only time I was not ticketed, I was on my way to work and the female officer let me go because I reminded her of her
