  1. My Experience of Trans Ideology and Nursing

    Closed Account 12345 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Calling the person the name they prefer to be called isn't "agreeing" with them. If a patient named Danielle at birth asks me to use the name Daniel instead, and I do out of respect, it doesn't mean...

  2. My Experience of Trans Ideology and Nursing

    Closed Account 12345 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    "If the article comes from the nationalreview.com website, it must be true!" -No One Ever Here is my thought on this, and I am extremely conservative. It's not up to you as a nurse to decide who...

  3. I'm a sexless nurse, part 2

    Closed Account 12345 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    When did healthcare professionals performing necessary healthcare procedures on patients start falling under the "woke" umbrella? When did healthcare professionals start using the word "woke" in a...

  4. Patients Viewing Nursing Notes In Real Time

    Closed Account 12345 replied to Tnurse24's topic in General Nursing

    I completely agree with you. In my previous post, I noted the politely-phrased way I'd explain my use of objective pain descriptors to a patient who asked. I would have no problem...

  5. Patients Viewing Nursing Notes In Real Time

    Closed Account 12345 replied to Tnurse24's topic in General Nursing

    I think the ability of patients to see the contributions of nurses adds value to our profession. They'll see that we're more than task robots. We have strong assessment skills that impact their plan...

  6. System float?

    Closed Account 12345 replied to carebear01's topic in General Nursing

    I've only worked where float nurses were embraced and welcomed because we were happy to have them - same for agency! I wonder if you could talk to some float nurses within your system to ask about...

  7. Asked To Change My Nursing Note...

    Closed Account 12345 replied to Cdonocdo's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't change my note, but I also wouldn't have written a note like that in the first place. The chart should objectively state information about the patient's health and care given. The...

  8. Another one wanting to bite the dust.

    Closed Account 12345 replied to martymoose's topic in General Nursing

    Are you in a position to take travel contracts with an agency that offers benefits? There is some serious money to be made if you're able to travel right now - like $5-8,000/week. Those patient...

  9. When One Patient Affects the Care Other Patients Receive

    Closed Account 12345 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    This situation definitely needs boundaries and prioritization skills. It's concerning that several other patients were sent to the hospital for medical decline that could've possibly been...

  10. Grocery store workers hazard pay

    Closed Account 12345 replied to 1gr8trnstudent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No. Why would I ever begrudge a frontline worker (or anyone) a good thing during this difficult season? I'm happy when good things happen to people, especially when the good things have zero negative...

  11. Nurse back to school

    Closed Account 12345 replied to Emiliaaa2266's topic in General Nursing

    Would you consider seeking a graduate level business degree instead? I think you'd be more marketable, more profitable, more knowledgeable, and it'd probably take the same amount of time (or less,...

  12. BULLYING at work as Usual

    Closed Account 12345 replied to CardiTeleRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see this as bullying or intimidation. Unless you are covered by an approved medical leave, like FMLA, you must be able to meet the requirements of your job. If you decide you are...

  13. Taking time off to take care of my new baby? Bad for career?

    Closed Account 12345 replied to nurseinthecity11's topic in General Nursing

    If you don't need the income, I vote to spend as much time with your baby as your heart desires! Adjust your career to fit your family life, not your family life to fit your career. (Of course that's...

  14. Is calling off for burnout a thing?

    Closed Account 12345 replied to Stella_Blue's topic in General Nursing

    Mental health matters, and a nurse who didn't sleep at all the night before a shift and has a splitting headache isn't going to be very effective or safe. Don't feel bad for a minute! As for the...

  15. ADN program starting now vs my aspirations towards and MD or DO: What do you think I should do?

    Closed Account 12345 replied to MDBoy's topic in General Students

    I think it's important to note that pursuing a medical doctorate doesn't necessarily give you the "deepest skill set and breadth of knowledge" when compared to other healthcare specialties. I'm not...

  16. New Grad RN: Lost and Hating My First Job. NEED Advice?

    Closed Account 12345 replied to newgradrn20205's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations on the new job! I would decline the opportunity to continue working for the LTC facility PRN. You said working there concerns you about your license. You were written up because...

  17. Preceptor is a bully....

    Closed Account 12345 replied to Hardhands's topic in General Nursing

    So do you personally work with the original poster? Have you witnessed his interactions with his preceptor? I'm pretty sure that anonymous internet forums tell one side of a story. His description of...

  18. Can "listen to the science" be misinterpreted as the doctor is always right?

    Closed Account 12345 replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    If you work with doctors for long enough, you'll realize plenty say things that are flat out wrong or skewed in some way. Doctors are human. Some are humans with a strong ego who would rather guess...

  19. Preceptor is a bully....

    Closed Account 12345 replied to Hardhands's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder if she's made a counter post somewhere saying "Hey everyone, I have to precept a 40 year old grown man who should know better about decency by this point in his life but still thinks it's...

  20. Nurse to patient Ratio

    Closed Account 12345 replied to Reda's topic in General Nursing

    You could offer good financial incentives to your existing nurses to pick up extra shifts to improve your staffing ratios as a temporary solution - like $250 bonus pay, plus time and a half for hours...

  21. Nurse to patient Ratio

    Closed Account 12345 replied to Reda's topic in General Nursing

    How many nurses do you know who could effectively care for 6-7 bedridden patients, several of whom have trachs, most of whom probably have severe pain and/or anxiety, with bare minimal assistance from...

  22. What's your opinion on nurses dating doctors?

    Closed Account 12345 replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I think the same of nurses dating doctors as I think of them engineers, teachers, accountants, car salesmen, architects, or whatever else. I think it's silly to date someone, or rule out dating...

  23. Not sure if I should get an NP or a MHA

    Closed Account 12345 replied to HiddenShadow20's topic in General Nursing

    They are two completely different career paths. Are you interested in a clinical career where you are actively involved with patient care, or are you interested in the administrative/business side of...

  24. Has anybody else switched from an RN job to a CNA job?

    Closed Account 12345 replied to hazyblue's topic in General Nursing

    Please don't go the CNA route if you feel like it is "Socially acceptable for them to dump whatever to nurses." No one in healthcare should think "dumping" on others is acceptable, whether RN to...

  25. Would you rather?

    Closed Account 12345 replied to beeker's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the above posts. Your child will only be a child once. It is a gift that you're able to offer stability, security, and your presence during these weird and uncertain times. Critical care...
