1. When You Realize You Are Replaceable

   Oemgee replied to Guest1189140's topic in Career Support

   Abusing “religion” as an “excuse” for ignorance and selfishness is appalling. Any truly religious person would find it so.

2. When You Realize You Are Replaceable

   Oemgee replied to Guest1189140's topic in Career Support

   You worked in a field based on SCIENCE. And you use your lack of ability to think logically to deny science and pretend that you have a valid point. You absolutely do not. Not even close, not even a little. None whatsoever.

3. Reported to the BON for cellphone usage?

   Oemgee replied to Lady_Leijing's topic in Professionalism

   I rather think the hospital might want to be careful about filing frivolous and malicious reports. ??‍♀️

4. Dislike Everyone In My Cohort

   Oemgee replied to sadsacrum's topic in General Students

   I personally get little to nothing out of study groups because they are contrary to the ways I learn best. The only time in two years of nursing school I’ve actually benefited from a study group was when I was struggling with ACLS drugs and rhythms. ...

5. Patient Refusing Unvaccinated RN

   Oemgee replied to Delia37's topic in COVID

   I’d question the judgement of any healthcare professional taking care of myself or my family member that didn’t have the sense to be vaccinated. Vaccination isn’t foolproof and people can still get COVID and spread it but someone who doesn’t take tha...

6. Why nurses don't want to talk to a ward psychologist?

   Oemgee replied to manjar's topic in General Nursing

   The bottom line here is that you most likely were not put into your position at the request of the staff on the floor, no matter what you've been told. Even if they requested your presence for the good of their patients, they did not ask for you to b...

7. Demoted from ICU to IMCU

   Oemgee replied to TiffanyB1313's topic in General Nursing

   My concern here is that you may be coming off as cocky, what with your talk of jealousy and demotions, which will help you nowhere. I've been there with a bad fit with a preceptor. After the second day with the one I had at my last job, I had to go s...

8. Asked about citizenship during triage

   Oemgee replied to inshallamiami's topic in General Nursing

   This is not normal, nor should it be. It is not our job as healthcare workers to judge immigration status any more than any other way that people are classified. There is really no excuse for this question and yes, patient relations should be contact...

9. Can I be fired for refusing PPD during pregnancy?

   Oemgee replied to RN/Mom's topic in General Nursing

   My hospital system has had an annual survey. It's s/s of TB and whether you've been exposed. I left and came back, they ran the blood test. The job I left for did the PPD. The bottom line is that there are options and you're within your rights to ask...

10. I'm having doubts about nursing... :(

    Oemgee replied to Texasstudent0's topic in General Students

    Wow. This is one of the whinest and hardest to relate to posts I've ever seen here, but we're in the wrong for reading it as it is? I think not. From putting down the CNA, being ready to quit after LITERALLY ONE DAY, and finding the work "boring," no...

11. Husband is not ready for me to go to nursing school!!

    Oemgee replied to hamolady's topic in General Students

    This is simple jealousy. He will have a much harder time pretending he's superior to you when you are demonstrably better educated and probably make more money. This is a male pride issue. The fact that he is pretending that his schooling is more imp...

12. Video RN screaming, dragged into police car d/t refused blood draw on unconscious patient!

    Oemgee replied to SummitRN's topic in General Nursing

    Assault on a nurse is a felony in Utah. As this "law enforcement" officer had decided to attempt to break the law and attempt to force others to do so, he was most definitely acting outside of his job. Which makes his "arrest" nothing more than a fel...

13. I passed NCLEX with 75 questions!! Here's how I did it...

    Oemgee replied to Cacharlie's topic in NCLEX

    I passed in 75 but instead of cramming and endless review I relied on the fact that I already had a base of knowledge. The morning of I reviewed lab values and cardiac drugs. I didn't allow myself time to second guess myself, took me about an hour. Y...

14. My coworker was high and got away with it

    Oemgee replied to Volley88's topic in General Nursing

    You must be a TREAT to work with! There is absolutely no excuse for your behavior. What you did is indefensible, as I would hope you could see from all the replies. Sadly, instead of learning from this I think you're the type that will continue to in...

15. Seriously?!?! You gotta be kidding me!

    Oemgee replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Nursing

    Might it have been psychosomatic?
