  1. Nazi-esque Black Lives Matter Protesters

    HiddencatBSN replied to guest416560's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Your history knowledge leaves a lot to be desired if you think the BLM movement is tactically similar to the Nazis. But whatever. Protest is never acceptable to those being

  2. Biden suporter assaults 7 year old child, supposedly she is a RN

    HiddencatBSN replied to guest416560's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Eh, I mean, parents raise their kids with the politics and values they themselves have. I’m not fussed about a child wearing political gear. I think it’s pretty typical to mirror parents’...

  3. Biden suporter assaults 7 year old child, supposedly she is a RN

    HiddencatBSN replied to guest416560's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    If you want to quibble about whether people who support confederate monuments and participate in protests organized and attended by white supremacist groups are white supremacists or not, that’s...

  4. Biden suporter assaults 7 year old child, supposedly she is a RN

    HiddencatBSN replied to guest416560's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    No, I quite clearly remember when this happened. He said “very fine people on both sides” but one of the sides was white supremacists....

    This is a recent example:

  6. Biden suporter assaults 7 year old child, supposedly she is a RN

    HiddencatBSN replied to guest416560's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I just want to point out that Trump called white supremacist protestors, one of whom drove a car at high speed in to a crowd and killed a young woman, “very fine people.” Taking a hat and making a...

  7. Forced to Return to the Floor

    HiddencatBSN replied to harumi22's topic in General Nursing

    Seriously. They might mark you ineligible for rehire if you don’t give notice, but not accepting a bedside reassignment isn’t reportable unless you’re walking out midshift after accepting the...

  8. Pediatric vaccine gone wrong

    HiddencatBSN replied to Kazed's topic in General Nursing

    I think your supervisor is the one who dropped the ball here. This was a situation where they needed to either guide you and the dad into a better position or help with positioning. Some kids have a...

  9. Pediatric vaccine gone wrong

    HiddencatBSN replied to Kazed's topic in General Nursing

    After the first shot went bad your preceptor should have guided you and dad into a more secure situation for the shot and assisted in holding. In peds it’s not uncommon to need an extra set of hands...

  10. Over $300k in student loans - help.

    HiddencatBSN replied to friendlyskies's topic in General Nursing

    Public Service Loan Forgiveness is a different program than the HRSA Nursing Corps

  11. Sick of hearing there are NO jobs?!

    HiddencatBSN replied to Royal_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I think there’s a ton of regional variability with hiring in general and during COVID in particular. I graduated when things were still recovering from the 2008 recession in a city that had many,...

  12. Being Rushed in the ED

    HiddencatBSN replied to vtachy's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Most places I’ve worked do immediate bedding and you’re just expected to find the extra time to triage patients along with your regular care. I’m so, so glad my current facility doesn’t do...

  13. Unfairness at work

    HiddencatBSN replied to Loveishope1970's topic in General Nursing

    I knew I was super burned out at my old job when I caught myself hoping that the surgery I’d had and wasn’t healing well from might need to be revised and I’d “get” another 6 week break

  14. Info, tips, etc. on ER New Grad Programs

    HiddencatBSN replied to murseymee's topic in Emergency

    Since you're willing to relocate I think you're in a good position to find a new grad ED job. I agree to join the ENA- that's how I got my first job, was joining and going to chapter meetings where I...

  15. ED observation unit

    HiddencatBSN replied to Jama93's topic in Emergency

    The hospital I worked at that had an observational unit had floating agreements between the two units- ED nurses could be pulled to the obs unit and jobs nurses could be pulled to the ED. So it was a...

  16. CNS in emergency department

    HiddencatBSN replied to Raven Sierra's topic in Emergency

    It's such a bummer- when I think about getting a Master's degree, really nothing interests me other than the CNS degree. I don't want an education degree and to spend time learning adult learning...

  17. New ER Grad Resources - Help Please??

    HiddencatBSN replied to bitter_betsy's topic in General Nursing

    I don’t have a formal outline. The orientees have an orientation book from our educator and we have a checklist of tasks/assessments they get signed off on as we go along. I always cover the...

  18. Do you ever feel guilty for calling in for reasons other than being ill

    HiddencatBSN replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Same. Mental health is important too. Your job isn’t going to take care of you so do what you need to do and let them handle themselves. It sucks to work short when someone calls out but it sucks...

  19. Unfairness at work

    HiddencatBSN replied to Loveishope1970's topic in General Nursing

    Call out sick next year. It’s often hard to take PTO. You’re entitled to it but with short staffing and blackout dates a lot of facilities will make it impossible to actually take it. My current...

  20. Forced to Return to the Floor

    HiddencatBSN replied to harumi22's topic in General Nursing

    But here’s a thank you card,

  21. New ER Grad Resources - Help Please??

    HiddencatBSN replied to bitter_betsy's topic in General Nursing

    How many shots an infant gets for rabies will depend on their weight and whether they’re getting immunoglobulin or not, and which brand of immunoglobulin used. So there’s no way she has that...

  22. Student Nurse and Family

    HiddencatBSN replied to ali.marie123's topic in General Nursing

    I would map out what it would take to become independent from your family and do that rather than waste time on a degree you don’t

  23. LPN to Paramedic

    HiddencatBSN replied to KimStrohl's topic in General Nursing

    How would you feel about a paramedic asking if they could become an LPN without any nursing school? Also, starting CPR before the doctor arrives is very different than operating off protocol in a...

  24. HOW DO I GET OUT OF MED SURG??

    HiddencatBSN replied to CaffeineDependentRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would look in to peds med surg jobs too. Very different than NICU but having peds experience might open more doors for

  25. New ER Grad Resources - Help Please??

    HiddencatBSN replied to bitter_betsy's topic in General Nursing

    If you haven’t been enrolled in it you probably don’t have access, but it follows Sheehy’s. Are you starting with a full assignment with your preceptor? Is it possible to start with focusing on...
