    Setting my orientee up for failure?

    NurseBlaq replied to NightNerd's topic in General Nursing

    I think maybe take JKL's advice and start having post-shift meetings with the orientee maybe every 3 days, not two weeks to discuss what could/should be improved and have question/answer sessions....

    COVID-19 Vaccine Incentives

    NurseBlaq replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Former nursing home director pleads to endangering 3 residents

    NurseBlaq replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Nursing News

    I just want to know why the hospital had to report this facility and not the staff working there? I would have gladly called the state from the facility. There is no excuse for this level of neglect....

    COVID-19 Vaccine Incentives

    NurseBlaq replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm uneasy about vaccines being monetized. They didn't do this when parents were gung ho about not vaccinating their children resulting in a resurgence of thought to be eradicated diseases/viruses....

    BSN - no experience and lots of children

    NurseBlaq replied to kat1822's topic in General Nursing

    This! I'm well-rounded in nursing as a side effect of being a mom and working too. Also, I worked night shifts so I could be home during the day even when they were old enough to go to school. That...

    NurseBlaq replied to manisha devkota's topic in Nurse Registration

    Have you tried contacting the BON to ask them directly? I think that will help if you actually speak to someone and explain the situation and tell them what you've done. If they say you need to work...

    I don’t know if I want to be a nurse anymore

    NurseBlaq replied to Vigirl465's topic in General Nursing

    Do Dept head meetings violate patient privacy ?

    NurseBlaq replied to downsouthlaff's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    NurseBlaq replied to nursenp's topic in General Nursing
