    Bless your

  2. I am in a little predicament…

    HiddencatBSN replied to guest1107684's topic in General Nursing

    You are way overthinking this. Treat the interview like the stand alone interview it is. Do your best and worry about having to make a decision when you know there even is a decision to be

  4. What's it like in the VIP wing of a hospital?

    HiddencatBSN replied to marienm, RN, CCRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think I’d feel angry all the time if I worked in a VIP suite like

  5. Unionized Hospital in Pennsylvania

    HiddencatBSN replied to Tiffhair12's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Oh gosh they still have no contract? It’s been at about 2 years since Tower Health bought them, hasn’t it? Bummer ? When I worked at Tower the union busting against Pottstown was so bad they were...

  6. Clean Needlestick

    HiddencatBSN replied to meggRN's topic in General Nursing

    I shattered an ampule cracking it open once and sliced open my finger. The worst part about that was having to use sanitizer while it was raw. You’ll be

  7. President Trump and the First Lady Test COVID Positive

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

    I think figuring out how sick he actually is and his illness timeline is definitely hampered by VIP syndrome because you really can’t get more VIP than the president. Maybe there were good clinical...

  8. President Trump and the First Lady Test COVID Positive

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

    If Susie with COVID wears a fabric mask your risk is reduced from what it would be if she wore no mask. How are you planning to ensure the public is wearing the N95s properly with a good seal and...

  9. President Trump and the First Lady Test COVID Positive

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

    Yes, we wear masks to protect others that ? is ? the ? point ? . The more people who wear masks, the more protected I am, the more protected you are, the more protected everyone is. That is the...

  10. President Trump and the First Lady Test COVID Positive

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

    I think it’s part of a separate thought. “One can wish for” the bubble you describe. And the poster who sneezes through masks needs remedial

  11. President Trump and the First Lady Test COVID Positive

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

    I think londonflo was replying only to the poster who is shocked people with healthcare education support

  12. President Trump and the First Lady Test COVID Positive

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

    The timeline of his infection is in question first of all. And if I worked from home with a staff and if I had many other contacts through my work, then yes, I’d probably wear a mask at home....

  13. President Trump and the First Lady Test COVID Positive

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

    He’s caused so much suffering. He gets nothing from me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and I’m not out to win any bigger person awards by wishing him well either. My thoughts and prayers are reserved for the people...

  14. President Trump and the First Lady Test COVID Positive

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

    He didn’t get sick despite following public health guidance though. He actively undermined and dismissed that advice and explicitly and implicitly encouraged others to do so as well. He went to...

  15. President Trump and the First Lady Test COVID Positive

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

    OK, but you understand that there’s a difference between random folks on the street bragging about being COVID negative 5 months ago (?) and the president, who has minimized the seriousness of the...

  16. Newbie nurse, 2nd day precepting in ICU. I cried. Will I make it?

    HiddencatBSN replied to Guest1158260's topic in General Nursing

    I cried on my first day in the peds er as a new grad. I’m coming up on 10 years in the peds ED now. It is tough in the beginning especially in a high acuity setting. I agree to talk to your...

  17. Anyone know of an Online US IV Class

    HiddencatBSN replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in Emergency

    I’d just look up videos on

  18. Be honest, when do you start working on your CEUs?

    HiddencatBSN replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. That’s why I do them ahead too, so I can spend time finding ones that are relevant and interesting and not just do whatever packet gets sent to me. I don’t spend any time worrying about...

  19. Not sure if I should get an NP or a MHA

    HiddencatBSN replied to HiddenShadow20's topic in General Nursing

    The BLS statistics don’t show a complete picture- they always show growth in RN demand but in some markets it’s very challenging to find new grad jobs. I graduated at the tail end of the recession...

  20. IV placement

    HiddencatBSN replied to Alexis White's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like you floated it in. For tough sticks that’s fine. As soon as I get the flash, I advance the needle just slightly, then drop my angle and slide the catheter in while engaging...

  21. ER New Grad Time Mgmt Help

    HiddencatBSN replied to bitter_betsy's topic in Emergency

    Hmmmm they might be talking about the Emergency Nurse Orientation through Elsevier. I’ve worked at some places that use it. It’s a ton of modules and I think it follows Sheehy. I’m glad...

  22. ER New Grad Time Mgmt Help

    HiddencatBSN replied to bitter_betsy's topic in Emergency

    No, don’t gaslight yourself. You have correctly identified her as manipulative and abusive. I’m sorry you’re having this experience- there’s so much she could be teaching you and helping you...

  23. Not sure if I should get an NP or a MHA

    HiddencatBSN replied to HiddenShadow20's topic in General Nursing

    I mean....I just took a trauma class and we talked about the TCA cycle and cells turning to anaerobic metabolism and the positive feedback loop that creates with the trauma triad of death. But in...

  24. Be honest, when do you start working on your CEUs?

    HiddencatBSN replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    The ENA really needs to up their membership benefit game. Mild discount on textbooks, classes and journal CEUs that are still $$$ with a few free ones here and there, and the most user UNfriendly...

  25. Fired

    HiddencatBSN replied to Lilynelo's topic in General Nursing

    I hope this doesn’t become the norm. Expecting new hires to learn policies, layout, resources, and culture while independently running their own assignment is a poor welcome to the organization at...
