   TitaniumPlates replied to Guest1201734's topic in General Nursing

   Because she/he is one of those that believes prostrating yourself before the altar of making money for investors (WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT WE DO NOW) should be your passion. If not, you're just a horrible human being. Whatever. Don't take it seriou...

2. Nursing Burnout, Moral Residue, and Resilience: An Interview with Anna Rodriguez

   TitaniumPlates replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

   Why are you researching this topic? If you are a Nurse and you know anything about working as a Nurse, you already know why Nurses oftentimes do not seek help--hint: it has to do with their licensure and their employability. "work life balance"...

3. Why does Nursing have to be a passion?

   TitaniumPlates replied to Guest1201734's topic in General Nursing

   The troll NMs who get onto these sites to attempt to do to grads what they did to nursing students---brainwash them into believing that SACRIFICE is what is needed, whether you can feed your kids or not. Yeah...no. Do the whole dance for a year...

4. Psychiatric nurse practitioner pay

   TitaniumPlates replied to Etgentile's topic in NP

   I lived in the deep South for 20 years. U*C, D**e, Wa*e, Vid*nt----ALL PAY the same for new grad nurses...it's called "collusion" and it's illegal....and oh....try and do something about that. They pay $21/hr. And if you leave and try to come back ...

   TitaniumPlates replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

6. Did I already screw up my nursing career?

   TitaniumPlates replied to Nursing2019BSN's topic in General Nursing

   You're still a new grad. Leave the residency off of your resume and apply for the new grad residencies closer to you. "My former manager won't be a reference"===nursing at it's finest. He could speak to your punctuality, attitude and some other thing...

7. New Nurse Venting

   TitaniumPlates replied to NewtoNursing75's topic in General Nursing

   I will do what every good hospital HR and Risk Management person will do who is trying to prevent a lawsuit. Tell you I am so sorry, listen to your complaint, thank you for bringing the problem to my attention, and then promise that somehow I will fi...

   TitaniumPlates replied to myoglobin's topic in NP

   Fullglass, you're being either willfully deceptive or ...well.... Bakersfield is....not a good place to live if you like breathing clean air and drinking water uncontaminated by fracking fluid or other oil field pollutants. Myoglobin, you have asked...

9. How Gossip Hurts All of Us

   TitaniumPlates replied to Dr Georgianna Donadio's topic in General Nursing

   Gossip is the most deadly microbe, it has neither legs, nor wings; It's composed entirely of tales, and most of them have stings. When you hear something you like about someone you don't. I don't believe for one second that gossip was or is in any wa...

    TitaniumPlates replied to Guest606's topic in General Nursing

    lol. PhOne. I was on one. I type quickly and was in between cases, so I didn't edit my grammar. Imma grammar police person as well. I was attempting --note attempting is now written how it was intended--was not translated with my phone into the pos...

11. Director wants to change all 12 hr shift nurses to 10 hr!!!!

    TitaniumPlates replied to truejewel82's topic in General Nursing

    It sucks. Bigly. I worked block 3's, 3 days off, block 4 (1 of which was an 8)---the "8" was never an 8, as I was still required to be either at shift start huddle (.5 hr plus .5 hr drive in and out) or shift end report (.5 hr plus .5 drive in and o...

13. Preceptor is SO BAD!

    TitaniumPlates replied to Guest606's topic in General Nursing

    The point here I think is that if OP's preceptor is lazy and rogue for tiny, insignificant things, what is she doing for huge things? Whomever compared dumping a urine bag in the sink to doing what is effective in a code scenario....FALSE EQUIVALENCY...

14. Preceptor is SO BAD!

    TitaniumPlates replied to Guest606's topic in General Nursing

    exactly this. the nurses here acting like OP is some type of abberant because she has a problem with spreading disease...says far, far, FAR more about the nurses making the demeaning and condescending remarks than it does about OP. OP....not everyone...

15. Preceptor is SO BAD!

    TitaniumPlates replied to Guest606's topic in General Nursing

    jed it was a devils advocate statement...the possible point of view of the preceptor. the piling on isn't helpful and it only starts to prove that nurses look for weakness and attack. like hyenas. OP has gotten really decent advice without the crappy...
