    Dealing With Traumatic Patient Deaths

    NurseBlaq replied to holyroyd's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I think the family knows you did nothing wrong and death was inevitable, they just weren't ready and willing to accept the loss. Nevertheless, I'm glad you booked an EAP appointment and hope all works...

    How to Answer a Patient Who Asks: "Does God Exist?"

    NurseBlaq replied to S.I.C.'s topic in Spirituality, Religion

    When patients get to the level of asking questions like this I refer them to the Chaplain. There are certain things I don't discuss as a nurse and religion is one of them. I let patients speak to...

    NCLEX with a dui misdemeanor in NY

    NurseBlaq replied to AD2345's topic in General Students

    I haven't been in that situation and each state is different. However, is there a way you can get it expunged? What does the NY BON's website state re: criminal cases and sitting for

    What are some classes that help boost my GPA?

    NurseBlaq replied to Leilani21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you tried speaking with someone in the nursing department at the school you're planning to apply to? No point in retaking courses unless necessary. The best place to start is the program for...

    QUESTION : High grades, low GPA

    NurseBlaq replied to Kaykanysha's topic in General Students

    I'm confused. How do you have high grades and a low GPA? Are you saying you have high grades in pre-nursing courses and a low GPA due to other non-nursing

    President Trump was likely largest driver of COVID-19 misinformation “infodemic” per Cornell University study

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

    I see your POV but that information came from the people who created the vax. Now that it's being given to the public I'll wait on the unbiased data. Having said that, even the creators don't know the...

    Could masks be another vector?

    NurseBlaq replied to guest584920's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Jack you have to be realistic. I'm not antivax but I'm no fan of this new, rushed vax until I get further information. If you have personal reasons, just say that but at least be realistic. At this...

    President Trump was likely largest driver of COVID-19 misinformation “infodemic” per Cornell University study

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

    I want solid evidence it works. I already addressed this in another thread so I won't hijack this one going down that path. I don't want it, I want more evidence. Hoping and "could change" aren't...

    Hailed as heroes, hospital workers for years have been bitten, hit, kicked. And ignored.

    NurseBlaq replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing started getting worse, while wages became stagnant when they started letting business people make medical decisions. They're more concerned about their bonuses than our health. Nursing is the...

    NBC's The Nurses - Just another nurse show?

    NurseBlaq replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Yup! I remember those days. And if you work on a unit where there's constant turnover, and on night shift, you're the bedmaking wizard on room setups. I made so many beds I use those skills to make...

    President Trump was likely largest driver of COVID-19 misinformation “infodemic” per Cornell University study

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

    See the "hoping" part is why I'm waiting. I need some solid facts before I take that vax. This is tantamount to genocide. I think everyone who was on this email and said/done nothing should be...

    Degree Devastation - School Lost Accreditation

    JUST finished school

    NurseBlaq replied to Guest 1064378's topic in General Nursing

    My suggestion is don't try to relearn everything you've just learned. Get NCLEX review books and sit down and train yourself to do the minimum number of questions (whatever that is these days since it...

    Last Question! I Swear

    NurseBlaq replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    My question is where is your charge nurse in all of this? Most times CNs don't have patient assignments to help in situations like these. Also, are there no CNAs on the unit? They can't pass meds but...

    COVID-Positive Nurses Working: Irresponsible or Smart?

    NurseBlaq replied to J.Adderton's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I know nurses who won't get tested because they're afraid of missing time from work and they're the sole breadwinner in their homes due to layoffs. Even worse, the employers don't push them to get...

    Could masks be another vector?

    NurseBlaq replied to guest584920's topic in Disaster Preparation

    But there are tons of people not wearing masks and actually acting a dang fool when asked to wear one, so no, that's not the case. Masks work, it's the fools who refuse to wear them that's the...

    New Nurse - Unsafe Hospital

    NurseBlaq replied to NurseL20's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds about accurate to me. Nursing has been that way for a while, well for me it has. Is it safe, sometimes not always but you learn to maneuver through the day as time goes on. Should you have to?...

    You got to put aluminum foil on the rabbit ears to get a good signal and if one is broke stick a fork in it. Shame that I know that. I'm aging myself
