    Should I be a nurse?

    NurseBlaq replied to TheSpecialist's topic in General Students

    Well, in that case, do the shadowing to see if nursing is still something you want to do. If so, go for it! Check out the cities you're looking to relocate to and the nursing wages. Compare the wages...

    Should I be a nurse?

    NurseBlaq replied to TheSpecialist's topic in General Students

    Only you can make that decision. If you're asking is nursing a good/bad career option then that's subjective as well. It depends on the person and how satisfied they are with their job that day....

    Why do nurses cringe when I say I want to be a OR nurse?

    NurseBlaq replied to mariawong's topic in General Nursing

    Don't worry about what others think. If you want to pursue an OR position, by all means, go for it. Everyone has their niche. That's the good thing about nursing, you always have options and a chance...

    Hired as NP- furloughed as NP, currently still furloughed in NP role and requested/accepted working in RN role, still paid NP salary. OP is being paid an NP salary yet working as an RN currently due...

    When You See Something, Say Something

    NurseBlaq replied to simba and mufasa's topic in General Nursing

    Nope, not this. How do you communicate when bigots only see your appearance and decide to be Aholes and never attempt to communicate with you because they're solidly racist and/or stereotyped you?...

    What did you do with your old nursing school textbooks?

    NurseBlaq replied to coopman712's topic in General Nursing

    I still have mine. I use them in crafts and other projects

    Egocentric Managers

    NurseBlaq replied to BBpeds18's topic in General Nursing

    No if, it IS what happened. Somehow you were bothered by my experience and felt the need to challenge it by claiming I dismissed someone else's experience when I was actually acknowledging it yet...

    Probable Fraud. What do I do?

    NurseBlaq replied to NYARN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't trust her just from what I read. I would most likely fire her or there would need to be massive proof she was actually there because now I would be worried about did she lie in the

    No Scott Toilet Paper?

    NurseBlaq replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I never thought of that. But now that I know about it watch my local Sam's be out of shop towels.

    No Scott Toilet Paper?

    NurseBlaq replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No, SEVERAL stores and fast food restaurants are requesting exact change or credit/debit because they don't have coins. Some places, including banks, are even offering to buy change. It's a real...

    Egocentric Managers

    NurseBlaq replied to BBpeds18's topic in General Nursing

    Add to that the fact we were speaking of different facilities. But the bolded is the real basis of the rebuttal.

    Egocentric Managers

    NurseBlaq replied to BBpeds18's topic in General Nursing

    No, it doesn't, it speaks to my experience. Your uncomfortability or refusal to accept it doesn't make it an opinion, it's my experience. The fact you're trying to police my thoughts/experience on...

    No Scott Toilet Paper?

    NurseBlaq replied to runner502's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Are they at least giving a reward like combat pay or something? I figured FL would be at critical staffing levels with the virus run

    How bad will it get in the fall/Winter time?

    NurseBlaq replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Moderna has never had a vaccine go to market. The company is questionable

    Resignation Question

    NurseBlaq replied to rubyagnes's topic in Nursing Career

    Just look at it like they know you broke the policy and more than likely know why but it's not because you were being a jerk, it's because you had to. That's better than just jumping ship and leaving...

    Covid-19 Vaccine Trials in South Africa: Another Tuskegee? #Black Lives Matter Around the World

    NurseBlaq replied to simba and mufasa's topic in Disaster Preparation

    If the disadvantage is already there do you really think we care about what it perpetuates knowing has happened in the past, currently, and more than likely in the future anyway? I'm not even trying...

    Resignation Question

    NurseBlaq replied to rubyagnes's topic in Nursing Career

    Well, you said you're on good terms with your manager and coworkers. Maybe they know you're unable to work the full 4 weeks and are appreciative of you willing to work until you can't knowing it will...

    Resignation Question

    NurseBlaq replied to rubyagnes's topic in Nursing Career

    Let me preface by saying I'm no attorney and you can/should seek the help of one if you feel uneasy about it. Having said that, most jobs have the right to end your employment as soon as you turn in...

    COVID-19: Filed workers comp claim?

    NurseBlaq replied to katfish67lpn's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Agreed, especially if it's a facility that hasn't provided adequate PPE or staffing. That alone should be an OSHA violation. Welders aren't sent to work without goggles and gloves, police aren't sent...

    Covid-19 Vaccine Trials in South Africa: Another Tuskegee? #Black Lives Matter Around the World

    NurseBlaq replied to simba and mufasa's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My point still stands. That poster still did not say no white doctor should take care of black people in Africa. It simply wasn't said yet there is an inherent need to rant and argue in the ground a...

    Massive Shortage of ICU Trained Nurses During COVID-19 Pandemic: The Need for Cross Training

    NurseBlaq replied to simba and mufasa's topic in Disaster Preparation

    To add to what @JKL33 said, clinicals should correlate with class lectures. For example, we did psych rotations while during psych that semester. I've heard of people doing clinicals wherever they can...
