  1. Money is tight

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to Nursebry91's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I felt the same way. I didn't have any criminal charges because nothing I did involved something to charge, but I actually was heavily looking into graduate schools for other things like teaching....

  2. Working non nursing jobs while in contract

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to catsmeow1972's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I was JUST commenting to my husband how, at almost 40, I feel like I have officially FAILED adulthood and should either be relegated back into the womb or forward into the

  3. Money is tight

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to Nursebry91's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I got a full time job as a pre-k teacher in a daycare while I wasn't allowed to work...I also did some substitute teaching. My BSN qualified me to do both. I worked that for the 6 months before I...

  4. It all depends on how you look at it

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to markko's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Wow. Great story. Sounds like you worked with a great

  5. Ok I am FREAKING OUT

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to JxoRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    At least it's a start of some communication...wow. That's everyone's worst nightmare. We are here for you to vent, ask questions, whatever. Keep us posted! Best wishes,

  6. Personal Resource Notebook

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to NessTheNurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I've never used one. I've been a nurse for 16 years and started before the internet was used terribly often. At my 1st job, my employer provided a resource such as that for all new hires...It was...

  7. New to Recovery program and not good news

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to Beazy's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Holy crow, they ask those questions?????? What in the actual frickin' frack?!? Mine are required monthly, but the most invasive question is "What have you learned from meetings this month?" Answer: "I...

  8. New to Recovery program and not good news

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to Beazy's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Oh, I agree wholeheartedly. I have to check in monthly by phone on a certain date, but it's been three solid months since my case manager has called me back. The playing field is not even. I have to...

  9. Ok I am FREAKING OUT

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to JxoRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Oh my dear God, that's completely my worst

  10. post partum RN but wanting to work in NICU

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to JNHERRIN's topic in General Nursing

    Lower level NICU's tend to have assignments that are much lower acuity and lower technical skill requirement, but more babies to be responsible for...usually 4 to 1. These are busy because it takes...

  11. New to Recovery program and not good news

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to Beazy's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Whew, this is a bad pickle to be in. The thing is, regardless of whether any of us are actual addicts/alcoholics who need rehab or folks who ended up in the program due to single non-nursing dilios...

  12. Would you have gone to nursing school....

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to RockinNurse2018's topic in General Nursing

    No, I honestly wouldn't. There's a complicated story about how I ended up in nursing, but I had a different dream, but my own fear kept me from pursuing it. Nursing seemed "safer" at the time, so I...

  13. The ridiculousness of LTC/SNF

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to YUKONrn's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    OP, That makes my former trauma level 1 and transplant PICU and peds CVICU with ECMO experiences seem like a serene walk thru a floral meadow during a butterfly release on a balmy, spring day.

  14. Observant Jew Cannot Work Saturday Shifts

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    It all comes down to what a reasonable accommodation for the business is. An example of a reasonable accommodation is allowing a Muslim or Mennonite woman to cover her arms, head, and legs in a clean,...

  15. Most of the time I am bitter! TPAPN

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to Ash2213's topic in Nurses Recovery

    "Everyone has to do it" was the response I got from my case

  16. Hair test

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to Alabama/RN,Vdap's topic in Nurses Recovery

    In my state, I was tested four times the first month. I have and will average 3-4 tests a month for the entire 5 years. My tests range from $32-$90 per test, plus any collection site fees, depending...

  17. TPAPN Nurse's

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to Oogie's topic in Nurses Recovery

    That would be enough to make me straight up poop my pants while simultaneously stroking

  18. No alcohol. NONE

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to Nursebry91's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I was merely responding to the post above that suggested that if nurses would use our common sense from A&P and we would avoid addiction all together. That is egregiously incorrect. As a solid...

  19. Most of the time I am bitter! TPAPN

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to Ash2213's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm in monitoring and alcohol was never, ever my DOC (I was/am afraid of the calories in liquids). I was not abusing opiates at the time either (I did in the past, but the BON didn't know about that...

  20. No alcohol. NONE

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to Nursebry91's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I initially wrote a lengthy, scientific post, explaining how the blood-brain barrier alone has very little to do with substance abuse and how, unfortunately, rudimentary A&P can't save us all. I...

  21. As a nurse or a student have you ever had a pt tell you that you won't be a good nurse?

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to RNintraining622's topic in General Students

    Don't take either of those scenarios to heart. Delirium can make people nasty...it's an altered mental status after all. As for the psych patient...take it with a very small grain of salt. I've had...

  22. 100 mile commute. Worth it?

    Eris Discordia BSN, RN replied to indomie23's topic in General Nursing

    Throwing my experience in. For several reasons, I commute 110 miles ONE WAY for my PRN job. That's a 1 hour and 45 minute drive one way, so a 3 hour and 30 minute round trip. It is completely...
