  1. Education Conspiracy

    jaderook01 replied to Avid reader's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I tend to agree. However, I think the goal of many BSN programs (their stated goals- which may not translate to reality in all cases) is to attempt to instill critical thinking, et cetera. I know...

  2. Communication Discrimination

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

    Or, someone being described/charted as not completely oriented, when the reality is the nurse simply doesn't want to take the time to listen past someone's speech impediment. That happened with a...

  3. Health Science (CTE) Teachers

    jaderook01 replied to Kgantt's topic in General Nursing

    I was a teacher for too many years. Common Core may not actually cover something like Health Sciences. I haven't looked. I'm only familiar with the subjects I actually taught regarding that....

  4. Health Science (CTE) Teachers

    jaderook01 replied to Kgantt's topic in General Nursing

    Will you be responsible for developing the curriculum for this program or is it already in place? Are you used to developing lesson plans? I've seen a lot of people struggle with this aspect of...

  5. Tired of certain teachers

    jaderook01 replied to momto5RN's topic in School

    I'm sorry you've had a rough time. We all need to vent sometimes. However, I see it from both sides. I was a teacher for many years. Just to caution you though: Just because you're "close" to...

  6. Want to quit

    jaderook01 replied to PaleomilesRN's topic in Emergency

    I don't have any specific advice that may help you on how to get out when strapped for cash and with a family to provide for. My situation was different but the feelings of being stuck were the same....

  7. I just want to be a stay at home mom!

    jaderook01 replied to Lavendergal's topic in General Students

    Without getting involved in your family dynamics, the important thing to consider here is your ability to provide should you ever find yourself on your own. I have two friends that were stay at home...

  8. Old job calling me to finish some charting?

    jaderook01 replied to JuliusSeizure's topic in General Nursing

    That's a big red flag of stay

  9. I got fired while being on orientation at a hospital for just 1 week. Why did this happen?

    jaderook01 replied to Strugaaa4eva's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know. I wasn't there. Why did this happen? I bet if you dig deep and are honest with yourself, you'll figure it out. You left some

  10. How to be more mild mannered like doctors in stressful circumstances?

    jaderook01 replied to Plumrose15153's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I didn't read the whole thread here, but I've witnessed a few frazzled and stressed out doctors and some calm, chill, and very competent nurses in action during 'stressful circumstances'. In fact,...

  11. Difficult parents

    jaderook01 replied to nerdynurse22's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm sorry you went through all of that. I have a lot of sympathy for you. I was a teacher for a good long time before I became a nurse (still in my first year of nursing). In nursing school, I spent...

  12. MSN vs DNP for NNP

    jaderook01 replied to Nicunurse13's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Will you make more money with a DNP vs. an MSN? Are you planning to

  13. NCLEX Online Application

    jaderook01 replied to Nurse BB's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Your school should be getting CA BoN people in there to show you what to

  14. Failed NCLEX 11 times.

    jaderook01 replied to Mtng's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It sounds like someone needs to cut their losses and go do something else in life. I guarantee you wouldn't want someone like that as your nurse. Also, to jump on to the bandwagon, as it were, of...

  15. What was your GPA before NS?

    jaderook01 replied to Skippy97's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My high school GPA was…I honestly don't recall. I graduated with honors and was in the National Honor Society. I already had a bachelor's degree (and a master's degree) before going to nursing...

  16. Getting an Associates in Nursing after a Non Nursing Bachelors Degree

    jaderook01 replied to nursing.mk's topic in General Students

    I work with people that got their ADN and already had a BS/BA. I got my BSN after having a master's degree. You can go either way. However, my co-workers that already have a non-BSN bachelor's...

  17. Trouble Hearing with Stethoscope

    jaderook01 replied to JessicaSkeen89's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I use my stethoscope more than the majority of doctors I have personally seen. I have a Littmann Cardiology III and I need it to hear. Some doctors shouldn't even bother to have any kind of...

  18. Medical Mystery: What made the night-shift nurses so sick?

    jaderook01 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Nursing News

    This little gem stood out to me. That the administrator's first idea was that the nurses drugged their own popcorn is

  20. "Breast Is Best": A Mantra to Promote Infant Health? or Stigmatizing Adage to Guilt Moms

    jaderook01 replied to cjcsoon2bnp's topic in General Nursing

    I only read the article (not the thread), but OP, I agree with you. Fed is best. I know so many people that have been made to feel like a failure because they couldn't breast feed for whatever...

  21. I want to quit first RN job after a few weeks.

    jaderook01 replied to newgradrn2016's topic in General Nursing

    That sounds like a nightmare. I'm glad you got a better job! Is home care really the best place for a new nurse, though? I figure there needs to be more time to develop decent nursing and...

  22. Go Fund Me for Co-workers?

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

    I had a Go Fund Me friend on FB. It wasn't a work friend though. I'm not a fan of it. Someone else started it for them, but they certainly promoted it. Yeah, they were truly needy. At least, if...

  23. I'm So Over Nursing. I would rather work at Costco!!

    jaderook01 replied to rnfrombama's topic in General Nursing

    Haven't read the entire thread here, OP. However, I am a new nurse and this is my second career. This is also the first time I've not been in a union or worked for the government in some capacity....

  24. Going out with your co-workers (Mixing Business with pleasure)

    jaderook01 replied to Plumrose15153's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It doesn't have to be a bad thing. I still hang with some of my previous co-workers (i.e. friends) from my last career. I've been out a few times with my current co-workers. I wouldn't exist if my...

  25. Being Managed By Someone Younger

    jaderook01 replied to Apple-Core's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is a second career for me too. I don't care if they're younger. As long as they know what they're doing then I'm good. I tend to have good rapport with my co-workers. I ask questions and...
