1. Why can't we tell pts/families we're understaffed?

   CantDecideUsername replied to delphine22's topic in Professionalism

   Funny, a patient in the dr office I work in is a nurse. She began to tell me yesterday how stressed she was and how many short-staffed the hospital has been.... Suddenly her eyes got wide and she clapped her mouth, as she realized she divulged somet...

2. Of Nursing, Nudity and Public Perception

   CantDecideUsername replied to hagiospneuma's topic in General Nursing

   Nurses who supplement their income doing unsavory things such as stripping don't exactly get announced to the stage as "miss crystal chandelier (or whatever strippers call themselves) RN, BSN" My point is that even if they do this it's not like they ...

3. Do we need a union? Management is taking advantage of us.

   CantDecideUsername replied to Windynurse's topic in Union

   You're story sounds eerily similar to the things I'm hearing in my neck of the woods. Hospitals are cutting back on practically EVERYTHING, which stretches the nurses to the limit, and sadly there have been many pay cuts for nurses in my area (the ho...

4. No worries USA. Only healthcare workers will be exposed to ebola.

   CantDecideUsername replied to Raviepoo's topic in COVID

   Virus's by nature are constantly adapting and changing. I see no lack of "critical thinking" in anyone's part by wondering if the disease is mutating to become airborne.... Especially given the fact that two KNOWLEDGABLE healthcare professionals con...

5. No worries USA. Only healthcare workers will be exposed to ebola.

   CantDecideUsername replied to Raviepoo's topic in COVID

   Interesting point... So this MD you're talking about is selfless enough to go help dying people in a third world country, but would selfishly expect to be brought back with Ebola and risk the health of millions? I'm not judging him/her, nor am I infe...

6. Nursing and the Ebola Virus

   CantDecideUsername replied to 0.adamantite's topic in COVID

   This oddity is what makes me nervous about the CDC They'll just say/do anything to make the public "feel safe" even if it's not 100% accurate If they're incorrect in they're portrayal of healthcare workers in hazmat suits, who knows what else they'r...

8. Quickest/best way to become a nurse and make money during the process - HELP!

   CantDecideUsername replied to guest829834's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Don't think many places offer anywhere close to that The major hospital system near me pays CNA's $12.05/hour and if you take the evening weekend shift the differentials make it $14.16 an hour And that's considered AMAZING! LTC's pay around $9

10. Nursing and the Ebola Virus

    CantDecideUsername replied to 0.adamantite's topic in COVID

    I certainly didn't mean to come across as cavalier.... And I'm Surely not heartless- and didn't mean to come across that way But going to third world countries does come with risks. As medical professionals they knew the risks and decided expose them...

    CantDecideUsername replied to 0.adamantite's topic in COVID

    They knew what they were getting themselves into when they went to east Africa. They knew the risks and took a chance. Glad I'm not the one having to make the decisions because it's a tough one I really hear both sides

12. Scrubs in school

    CantDecideUsername replied to allnurses's topic in General Students

    Agreed about the white!!! I can't stand the white scrubs we have to wear in the CNA program

13. Scrubs in school

    CantDecideUsername replied to allnurses's topic in General Students

    Maybe this sounds dorky, but I think at least one pocket with a zipper so things don't fall out.... Also possibly built in small pockets at the waist of the pants... For small items. Yes it adds possible extra bulk, but could be really useful for sma...

14. Nursing and the Ebola Virus

    CantDecideUsername replied to 0.adamantite's topic in COVID

    Yes, but it's a whole different story when an infected person is voluntarily and willingly brought into the US for treatment, due to the immense pressure of Samaritans Purse- an organization that knows next to nothing about infectious diseases. Also ...
