    Got Written Up, Cant Stop Thinking About It

    NurseBlaq replied to ThatNurseThough's topic in General Nursing

    You haven't heard? Apparently nurses have 15 arms, 25 eyes, and 30 legs. We do it all, everywhere, all the time. Well, according the ragged logic management

    Is this for Me?

    Alzheimers mention

    NurseBlaq replied to Hoosier_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Again, AD pathology has no bearing on socioeconomic status. Maybe onset and/or management yes, but not AD itself. SES status is irrelevant to the AD itself. As for obesity and DMII, we already know...

    Does your employer charge you for PTO?

    Alzheimers mention

    NurseBlaq replied to Hoosier_RN's topic in General Nursing

    The article covered that under "can be partly attributed to differences in treatable health- and lifestyle related factors". It just didn't specify what those were on a

    Alzheimers mention

    NurseBlaq replied to Hoosier_RN's topic in General Nursing

    If this is the case it's not the socioeconomic status but a piss poor provider with a known/unknown bias towards the poor. Again, the article you quoted says this is a trend among those who have...

    Does your employer charge you for PTO?

    NurseBlaq replied to Lovethenurse2b25's topic in General Nursing

    When jobs do this it's because it doesn't exist or they're FOS. If I can't see a policy, I want all my money. You know how nurses are trained to think, if it's not documented it didn't happen. I use...

    New Grad RN-Accepted Position, Just Found Out Pregnancy (High Risk)

    NurseBlaq replied to JennaSnow's topic in General Nursing

    I went through this, not twins, but newly hired and high risk pregnancy. I told the employer right away. They told me I wouldn't be eligible for FMLA nor maternity leave pay but they were willing to...

    Angry and need to vent

    NurseBlaq replied to Hoosier_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Condolences. However, no mean to be rude but I'm kind of torn on this because I saw several friends become orphans, be split from their siblings, or when we were older, have to become parents...

    Is this for Me?

    NurseBlaq replied to Mr. Confused's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Has OP returned to answer any questions about why (s)he chose nursing as a secondary profession? Or any questions presented thus

    Alzheimers mention

    NurseBlaq replied to Hoosier_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I see where you're going with this but that's not what I'm getting from it. Socioeconomic status only helps in symptom control and prolonging of effects of Alzheimer's, not prevention. No amount of...

    I really want to do the right thing and I need help!

    NurseBlaq replied to HRCRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Is it one patient or multiple patients? I ask because I've seen patients get pain meds and say they didn't to get more or because they didn't like the nurse and wanted to create conflict for her....

    Alzheimers mention

    NurseBlaq replied to Hoosier_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Directly from the article you posted: Differences in dementia risk between socioeconomic groups can be partly attributed to differences in treatable health- and lifestyle related factors. Future...

    Nurse Practitioner Called a Drug-Dealer at Sentencing

    NurseBlaq replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing News

    @Msn1971I was summarizing the OP article in that quote, not that I think she's more dangerous or more to blame than the doctor. It was also me correcting someone on what I originally said because some...

    Untrue. Exhibits 1-10 are my ex, his mother, and quite a few family

    Alzheimers mention

    NurseBlaq replied to Hoosier_RN's topic in General Nursing

    My great-grandparents and grandmother died from Alzheimer's fairly recent. There should be a class action lawsuit against this type of nonsense. These pham companies are greedy *insert a whole rant...

    Husband Wants to Become a Nurse Too

    NurseBlaq replied to GoodWifeLife's topic in General Nursing

    Cool! I've worked with couples on both end of the spectrum, good and bad. The only bad instances are when one is jealous and they work the same unit/shift then it's all chaos. ? I think it would be...

    The Healthy Side of Disgust

    NurseBlaq replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    OMG This! I can pack a wound down to the hip bone but oral care, oh hell no! Don't know why but I could never be a dental tech, literally

    New nurse guilt

    NurseBlaq replied to Guest1119933's topic in General Nursing

    Sound advice in this thread. Don't beat yourself up & know you did your best, especially following up and keeping the doctor up to date on the patient's status change. Don't ever stop caring, it's...

    Nurse Practitioner Called a Drug-Dealer at Sentencing

    NurseBlaq replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing News

    She isn't the only "drug dealer" just the only one labeled as such but go off though. The willful ignorance and obtuseness is strong in this thread.

    Elizabeth Warren says doctors, nurses don't treat black women same way as other women

    NurseBlaq replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nursing News

    Wrong. It's called the "I don't give a damn about your people's plight so I'm going to dismiss it and act like my people had it worse, to hell with yours" way of thinking. It's dismissive and...
