  1. I Am Absolutely Miserable Because I Hate Being A Nurse

    Patients can easily ID you? Try being 6'3", only male on the floor with a balding forehead and the longest ponytail in the unit. Plus my name is on every board in every room on the unit. I'm there for 12 to 13 hours. Think I got you beat on being ide...
  2. COVID Update 2020 vs 2021

    All Covid all the time unit. Some ways not as bad. Many aren't as sick, but the ones that are sick appear to be younger, Many very sad situations.
  3. Will nurses in the ER soon hear the following?

    Not all Covid patients on death beds are in ICU. We're the Covid Cohort in my hospital Step-down and telemetry unit. Our IMU is full of patients who in NORMAL times would be in ICU. Many, most actually, of my Tele patients are on HFNC or Bipap and w...
  4. Arizona

    Um. Biden was always the winner in Maricopa County. The question was always whether any fraudulent activity went on in the county to the tune of more than 11,000 votes.
  5. Is it me or Is it hard to find jobs in Texas?

    I came from Mississippi to Texas in May to look for a job. I have 3 years Med-Surg experience. I went to two hospitals in Northwest Houston suburbia, received two interviews, one on the spot, and have been offered two jobs. Took the first job offered...
  6. Any new grads having a hard time finding a job??

    what unit? been there 3 years now in med-surg.
  7. Jarnaes, "Screw the calling" all you want, but it is exactly why I became a nurse. I gladly took a $30,000 per year pay cut for the "calling." We all come to our professions and passions in very different ways. I believe (warning: opinion, which of c...
  8. Nursing is my third (or is it fourth?) career. Unless I go back to medical school at 55 (not likely) it will be my last. Just bury me with my stethimascope, my red pen, and a couple of vials of MSO4.
  9. Worried about possible future job

    Where do you work? I don't want to go somewhere that does not provide some sort of corrective procedure before disciniplary action.
  10. Just one of the girls again. the other didn't make sense.
  11. Ladies? Oh, well. Just of the girls again.
  12. failed random drug test

    Unfortunately, taking a scheduled medicine (pain med?) for which you have no script is a very serious situation and may very well be sent to the MBON. If it is, make sure you have legal representation to safeguard your rights in any hearing or invest...
  13. Why are Hinds CC Nursing Students Failing?

    I've worked with Hinds grads, grads from Holmes, MC, UMC, USM, Alcorn, Delta State, etc. It really does not matter what school you attend. What matters is the nurse you become. When people tell you that you learn more about being a nurse in your firs...
  14. I picked neutral for my own reason, not those listed above. I think that if someone can be talked out of nursing by telling them the truth of what they will do, then they should be. If someone believes that becoming a nurse is a good way to make dece...
  15. Anyone else waiting to hear from Holmes CC?

    May 2008 grad from Ridgeland campus. I was 47 years old when I started, and at 50, I have just completed my first year as a registered nurse. I was NOT the oldest accepted into the class, just the oldest to graduate.
