1. Facial coverings effective?

   anononurse replied to Thanksforthedonuts's topic in COVID

   The majority of frontline workers I know have not been wearing masks in public unless mandated. I wear a mask simply to avoid attracting attention to myself and the hostile people who want to control everyone. There is way too much fear mongering out...

2. Why so many tattletale nurses?

   anononurse replied to Butterflybee's topic in Relations

   Very well stated! Sadly, codependency is rampant among caregivers.

3. Should I get accepted to a CRNA program?

   anononurse replied to MEDRN89's topic in SRNA

   Thinking like a nurse means critical thinking. Calling it fantasy thinking is insulting. You should plan on at least 2 solid years as an RN in a high level ICU to fine tune your skills, learn critical thinking, and as preparation to get into CRNA sch...

4. Why so many tattletale nurses?

   anononurse replied to Butterflybee's topic in Relations

   Very sad that this happens more often than we know. Unfortunately gossip is not uncommon in nursing just like any other career. It takes integrity to be professional and keep your mouth shut. Sadly, many people in Administration or in leadership pos...

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

   anononurse replied to FloatFNP-C's topic in COVID

   Covid19.healthdata.org has a lot of information

6. RN Disciplined While Waiting On Covid 19 Result

   anononurse replied to INDY RN's topic in COVID

   With all the stories I’m hearing about punishment and repercussions for nurses getting Covid after being told to reuse masks, and PPE, I’m thinking there may be some lawsuits. For 1 week I’d love to see the ED staffed by only Administration and manag...

7. Boyfriend wants me to stay away

   anononurse replied to LauRN3367's topic in COVID

   I understand his being concerned, we all have family that are. However, if everyone’s family or significant other wanted us (nurses,doctors,first responders,etc.) to stay home, this situation would never improve. We went into this field to help other...

   anononurse replied to FloatFNP-C's topic in COVID

   Anyone know what the decompression tents are that are being set up at hospitals? We have been told that we have to staff these tents starting tonight and need an explanation- a REAL one, not what administration is telling us!

9. Afraid I gave someone a bloodborne disease

   anononurse replied to RN8903's topic in General Nursing

   Wow, another nurse who remembers the days before gloves!!

10. Should New Grad Start in Hospice?

    anononurse replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

    I know several new grads whose first nursing job was in hospice. It's worth a try if that's your passion.

11. New Grad Age 60 Can't Land a Job

    anononurse replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

    I really feel for you. Discrimination against older nurses is alive & well! Have you considered hospice nursing or home health? I agree you need to take whatever you can get & learn all you can. Having some nursing experience will definitely ...

12. I am not proud of my track record.

    anononurse replied to STARL's topic in General Nursing

    It does sound like nursing is not for you-- you have to CARE about your professional license and your patients and yourself enough to follow the rules- not doing so is sloppy and sets you up for failure, not to mention your reputation will follow you...

13. So what's going to happen to health care now?

    anononurse replied to Rocknurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm being cautiously optimistic, hoping for middle of the road, rather than extreme left or right.

14. Nurse manager who yells at people

    anononurse replied to happygrandma3's topic in Relations

    Sadly, I've seen this happen too. The problem is that when you lose all your senior/experienced staff the liability goes up. This doesn't get the attention of administration until after a mass exodus, and poor patient outcomes. In my situation I was ...

15. Why so many tattletale nurses?

    anononurse replied to Butterflybee's topic in Relations

    I agree, and I'd like to add: Just b/c I'm quiet & reserved doesn't mean I'm any less of a nurse!! Not all of us are loud, over-exuberant, or boisterous. I prefer to work with low-key professionals who quietly do their job w/out the fanfare. The...
