About Eschell2971

Eschell2971 has 4 years experience as a BSN and specializes in Med-Surge; Forensic Nurse.


I am a Med-Surge RN, & a Forensic Nurse . I love to dance, read, write, travel, and cook. My professional plans include ongoing professional development as a Forensic Nurse, attending a professional nursing convention, and traveling for work. Having flexibility & choice in my career are important factors to assist me in maintaining a healthy work-life balance. I have been given so many wonderful opportunities in life, for which I am so grateful. If you know me, you will often hear me humming a gospel song of praise or see me break out in a dance. I love to laugh-even at myself!

  1. Cursing in professional settings

    Professional nurses need to think about the words they use when they are operating in a public, professional, setting. Cursing needs to stop! I've been noticing something which I think is not good, to say the least, and in my thinking, does not put n...
  2. Nurses that “only do it for the money”

    Because not everyone sees it on the first 3 days. We're busy making our money. LOL. Thanks
  3. Nurses that “only do it for the money”

    Well, since no nurse I know works for free (except maybe Parish Nurses & even they have trade-offs, perks), of course a nurse should 'do it for the money,' if that's what he/she wants to do. As long as the nurse does his/her job, why is it anyone...
  4. Politics in the Nursing Work Place: When Conflicts Arise

    Hello: Thanks for this article. I am a veteran, black woman, & I voted for President Trump, on purpose. I am a Republican/Conservative, and I love politics. I don't generally discuss politics at work, unless there are very specific conversations...
  5. Hello: I think this question has be answered by individual nurses. Of course, there may be some macro-data and/or indicators, but, happiness may be defined individually for different nurses. Some nurses are happy in the ER; some are happy providing ...
  6. Male Nurse Disgusted by Female Nurses

    Hello: Unfortunately, I agree with this male nurse. As a female RN, I OFTEN discuss female communication tactics & emotionalism with my colleagues. One of the primary reasons for all the arguing, 'taking things personally,' and other infantile be...
  7. ethics

    Did you inform your colleague that she is wrong to do what she's doing? Why are you so focused on getting her 'fired' or 'suspended?' I agree your supervisors should inform her of the policy and that discarding medications at will is not within her s...
  8. Hello: What is the cancellation/on-call policy at your facility? Last week, my facility instituted a new/updated on-call/cancellation policy. Basically, nurses are no longer cancelled, they are placed on-call, for their whole shift, up to the last tw...
  9. Contacted multiple times for same empty shift

    First, all of the above suggestions were great (and funny). I agree with you, in that my time off is my time off. I don't have to answer or return calls because A: this is my phone; B: I am not on duty, with a pager; C: I already told you I was not g...
  10. I hate nursing

    While I appreciate your honesty, what I'm gonna say may sound mean and incompassionate. But, I don't mean to be harsh, but, it's the point that's important. STOP YOUR WHINING and TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR OWN LIFE! There is a time and a place for venting...
  11. Being Pulled into the Office for calling CAT

    I would stop letting it "eat me up." It sounds like you did everything you were supposed to do, followed protocol, and used your nursing judgement. I would make sure you write down everything you have stated here, and go into the meeting confidently,...
  12. Terminated After Two Months!!

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

    In the past month, I've heard more than a few good nurses express what you're expressing in this post. As a nurse, I know that it's easy to get comfortable in one position, one facility, for much of our career. I'm not saying I never have down days o...
  14. What Am I Doing Wrong?

    What you need to do first is process your failure. Next, immediately go to the test review and then make a private appointment with your instructor. What class are you taking right now? I don't have anything to specifically say because I don't know w...

    First, take a deep breath! What you're describing has been experienced by 99.99% of all nurses who have SUCCESSFULLY graduated nursing school AND passed their NCLEX. There is hope. Here are a few tips, strategies, and constructive feedback I learned...
