  1. Which patients are you most scared to take care of?

    People who can’t breathe scare the crap out of me. I can pretty much deal with anything else —except trachs and babies. Those two, I will do anything to avoid.
  2. Has anyone left nursing job due to COVID19 virus?

    We’re expected to use ours for TWO weeks...I’m certainly planning my exit and praying I’m not infected before then.?
  3. What is it like in your hospital right now?

    Metro Atlanta. The whole state has 3,000 cases so nowhere near as hard hit as other locations.
  4. Am I a coward for going on FMLA due to COVID?

    Amen! ??????????
  5. What is it like in your hospital right now?

    We are at 40+ positive patients and 20+ rule outs. For reference, my hospital isn’t very big. Just over 200 beds. My anxiety is through the roof.?

    Thanks so much for the response. I was at work when she called me, and she can be a drama queen about a lot of things. But when she says she hurts, she's really hurting. She actually said the words "I want to die" because she was in so much pain and ...
  11. Suicide by chronic pain sufferers after opioids reduced

    I know this thread is kind of old, but I felt the need to comment. My sister has sickle cell. Yeah yeah I know the stigma. I worked in the ED for 10 years, and I came across a lot of fakers who didn't even really have sickle cell and just wanted drug...
  12. Depression and Nursing

    How'd you lose your job on FMLA? I thought that was the whole point...that with FMLA you leave, take care of your personal business, and come back to a job.
  13. Nurse bringing child to work

    I'm not even 100% sure of what the policy is at my job. But I work in a procedural area where we're on call, and if my childcare falls through (it's happend 3x in the last year at least), my kid comes with. She's been there unfortunately 8+ hours. Sh...

    What?!?! Your personal medical information is uploaded online??? That can NOT be legal.
