  1. Another Tragedy at Vanderbilt

    EDNURSE20 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

  3. Do I have to disclose mental illness

    EDNURSE20 replied to NurseChaiPls's topic in General Nursing

    I’m surprised. I personally would tell them. Maybe not every last detail, like being hospitalised. But that you’ve had issues in the past, it’s well controlled and what you have in place to keep...

  4. Outpatient New Grad Opportunity

    EDNURSE20 replied to Nursekaty19's topic in General Nursing

    EDNURSE20 replied to Mr. Murse's topic in General Nursing

    I think it depends on the nurses tbh. I work float pool, and I find some floors are really good at bedside handover. It efficient, the staff like it, the pt like it. We go in, if the pt is asleep we...

  6. What is considered "job hopping"

    EDNURSE20 replied to Nurse3242's topic in General Nursing

    IMO you should stay in a job for at least a year. Unless there’s a very good reason why you left earlier But then again if you change your job every year that doesn’t look good either. Some one...

  7. Sitting down - New nurse looking for advice

    EDNURSE20 replied to MgoBlue37's topic in General Nursing

    EDNURSE20 replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Nursing Humor

  10. Why is it "legal" for patient to decline male nurses?

    EDNURSE20 replied to carti's topic in General Students

    I don’t see this as an issue, the pt has a right to refuse. You are there for there for the pt, why would you want to make them feel uncomfortable or uneasy? just because you are a nurse doesnt give...

  14. I’m burnt out

    EDNURSE20 replied to EDNURSE20's topic in General Nursing

  15. Code Blue

    EDNURSE20 replied to BingoBoys's topic in General Nursing

    We don’t use braclets or anything like that. First I’ve heard of it. But any unstable pt, every nurse is aware of and if they DNR or not. We just have emergency bells. Press it and in a matter...

  17. Would this shirt get me into trouble in class?

    EDNURSE20 replied to FloridaLPN19's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I agree with others here. I really don’t get why people get obsess with having all this nursing related things, tacky slogans on items, syringe shaped pens, and the non stop posting on social about...

    EDNURSE20 replied to foxhoundma's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume
