1. Nurse Notes not required

   Accolay replied to 1step At a time's topic in Professionalism

   The new company is saying that nurse notes aren't required or aren't necessary? As in you could write a note but you don't have to or you shouldn't write a note? Nursing notes aren't important until something goes wrong and you get sued two year...

2. AI in nursing

   Accolay replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

   I do remember that movie. I also remember The Terminator. Neither ended up well for the humans. I think AI will start to dictate some if not most of the physician plan with the insurance companies/medicare/medicaid: if pt has X we should do Y. I...

3. The Working Poor-Nurses

   Accolay replied to TeaCea's topic in General Nursing

   I have so many questions/thoughts: What part of the country does this nurse work? Does she work full time as in 40 hours per week? How long has she been working as a nurse? Where does she work- hospital? nursing home? Kids ar...

4. Working at the same clinic as your doctor?

   Accolay replied to TiredRN604's topic in Career Support

   I don't think this is unethical. If you are able to keep work and personal stuff separate then you'll be OK.

5. Need A Change In Career… Having A Nursing Career Crisis. Where to next?

   Accolay replied to Cieritaqt's topic in Career Support

   I'm right there with you. I'm trying to figure out if I should stay or if I should go. I don't see a lot of good on the horizon for nursing in general or where I work. My department used to have certain experience requirements for hiring RNs but now ...

6. Unions - Yay or Nay?

   Accolay replied to Kiwi82's topic in Union

   I'm biased- I work in a hospital represented by a union and have for the entirety of my nursing career. We have a strong union. My comment here is going to sound like I'm trying to recruit you. I'm pro union but wish it wasn't necessary. Besides, th...

7. Disrespect & Profanity

   Accolay replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

   I usually address MDs by Dr. Surname until they correct me because you can't go wrong and no need for a conversation with everyone about what they want to be called. Generally, I use profanity among people I know- lets not pretend the naughty wo...

8. What will be your New Year resolution?

   Accolay replied to Joe V's topic in Humor

   I don't make new year's resolutions. If you want change, do it now- don't wait until the arbitrary date of January 1st.

10. Covid-19: Going Back to Normal?

    Accolay posted a topic in COVID

    I know I'm jumping the gun here, but who's looking forward to having all visitor restrictions lifted, visiting hours gone, hoards of visitors back? Our patient satisfaction scores are way up, wondering what the hospital head honchos think is the...

    Long term health effects of the covid vaccination should be the least of your worries if you're a lover of true freedom.... the main issue is really about how many microchips Bill Gates put in it and how to get your tinfoil hat to fit so They can't t...

13. Been away... Did I Miss Anything?

    Accolay posted a topic in General Nursing

    Just a little under the weather (No Covid) and bored so I thought I'd see what's going down on AllNurses in 2021. Anything happen in 2020? Turns out I'm an "Adventurer" and interacting with me is recommended and I'm open to new things. What...

14. New Grad: I Feel Stupid

    Accolay replied to newnursemoon's topic in General Nursing

    Dude... you've only been doing this for 5 weeks. Give yourself a real chance. You are going to make mistakes. No sugar coating here: this will be hard. Give yourself at least 12 months before you burn it all down. Bear down, batten the hatches ...

15. Any advice for a new grad trying to stay afloat?

    Accolay replied to Rainbow_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Just breathe, man. Everything is normal. Everyone has been exactly where you are right now. Your BSN isn't lifelong- you will eventually finish. Eat that less-than-ideal-score because what you've now learned the magic of group work and how to deal wi...
