    Quarantined Nurse’s Scorching Anti-CDC Rant Goes Viral

    NurseBlaq replied to MunoRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I saw this on the news earlier and I completely agree with the nurse. I'm pissed for her! Who will take care of patients if the medical staff are sick and neglected

    Terminated the third week into my orientation

    NurseBlaq replied to HippyHappyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Are you posting under two accounts? I ask because you keep quoting yourself and responding to yourself? I've noticed it a few times and just skimmed over it but it keeps happening. I'm

    Nurses with Anxiety?

    NurseBlaq replied to Nursewholovesplanners's topic in General Nursing

    I never worked outpatient but I understand. Never thought about it that

    Nurses with Anxiety?

    NurseBlaq replied to Nursewholovesplanners's topic in General Nursing

    Try making a list of your duties so you can check them off as you go and save yourself time and stress from checking behind yourself multiple times. I separated work from home by leaving home at the...

    Terminated the third week into my orientation

    NurseBlaq replied to HippyHappyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I set all my clocks 15-30 minutes ahead of time, even in my car, to make sure I'm not late. Also, if I snooze my alarm I'm still early. Just my $0.02

    Terminated the third week into my orientation

    NurseBlaq replied to HippyHappyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think the point is why did you take it as criticism? It's not about what is said, it's how you interpret it and it appears you interpret genuine sentiment as criticism. The question you have to ask...

    Disrespect & Profanity

    NurseBlaq replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I don't recommend that either because Clark gets away with it but they'll ding you for it. Don't even put yourself in that situation. Clary saying "I just want to do my job" like he's some sort of...

    C'Mon Now!

    NurseBlaq replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    If I'm ever having a bad day I read this thread. Y'all are hilarious!

    Coronavirus mask shortage

    NurseBlaq replied to zillynurz's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I would probably buy my own masks and look for another job. I would also ask management the same questions I presented in this thread. The problem in healthcare nowadays is business people with no...

    Disrespect & Profanity

    NurseBlaq replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    So it's OK to assault the nurses and techs but don't think about touching the doc or you'll be arrested? That's what's wrong with healthcare. Nurses are always being attacked and management does...

    How would you improve the nursing profession? (beyond better staffing, higher pay, etc)

    NurseBlaq replied to labordude's topic in General Nursing

    Understood but it's still no way to treat a student. You had crummy instructors. She sort of abused the situation and took advantage of your prior work experience to rescue the staff, again for free....

    C'Mon Now!

    NurseBlaq replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    I don't do school nursing but this thread is hilarious! My son used to tell his teachers he was sick so he could go raid the nurse's candy jar, and he's in high school! She told me one day and I said...

    How would you improve the nursing profession? (beyond better staffing, higher pay, etc)

    NurseBlaq replied to labordude's topic in General Nursing

    Say what now? No way in hell would I have been the free help with a full assignment as though I were staff. You basically paid to do free labor. I would have filed a long, documented complaint to the...

    Coronavirus mask shortage

    NurseBlaq replied to zillynurz's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I haven't seen any threads about face mask shortages either. But on this topic, isn't that unsanitary? What if a patient is on isolation? Are you expected to go room to room with the same mask? That's...

    Cutting Clothes: ED SI/HI pt

    NurseBlaq replied to bigldiesel's topic in General Nursing

    So is OP coming back to answer questions and give clarification or nah? Cutting the patient's clothes off is a bit much. Give a cocktail, wait until it kicks in and reassess. If a patient, a psych...

    Disrespect & Profanity

    NurseBlaq replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I ask people if they want the PC version or real talk because it's guaranteed to be some cussing with the real talk, especially if it's one of those

    Who can cath???

    NurseBlaq replied to SandIsMyGlitterRN's topic in School

    Thanks. That's usually how I feel when I wake up.

    NurseBlaq replied to SandIsMyGlitterRN's topic in School

    I know nothing about school nursing but the question is interesting so I'm just here for the comments. Don't mind

    Going from full-time to part-time for dream job for time being? Advice?

    NurseBlaq replied to newrnonthefloor's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with this. I would caution to be sure the hours are available to amount to full time before changing units. Maybe you can work something out with management so you can do part time on the...

    Nurses don't check orders??

    NurseBlaq replied to Christina.f0602's topic in General Nursing

    SHE doesn't check orders. How do you get through the shift without checking orders? That's a lawsuit/death/etc waiting to happen. Didn't we see the outcome of not checking and following orders with...

    What’s changed since 2004?

    NurseBlaq replied to RenRN's topic in General Nursing

    Pretty much all of this! Oh, and the Google nurses. Someone always "googled" something and think they're newly minted

    Terrible experience with nursing staff

    Terrible experience with nursing staff

    NurseBlaq replied to guest1074638's topic in General Nursing

    I'm stuck on a few things. So was the boyfriend in the room when she was yelling for the nurses and only got up once she fell and cracked her face? Did he not hear her yelling for help? Did he not...
