Hi - I'm just finding out about the site changes now. Please clarify. Will the "Breakroom" no longer be its own web-page? If not, will there be a "Daily Diary" on the Yellow Side. For what it's worth, I've been a member here for a long time. (Heck!...

Looking forward to seeing Allnurses up and running again. ?

I'm just being silly! LOL! You're doing GREAT work. Again, Thank You! ?

LOL! Thank you, I think! LOL! I try to compose music that is relaxing, but hopefully not to the extent that would cause deep slumber! LOL!

Here's a link to a composition that I wrote 2 years ago. https://soundcloud.com/edward-fiebke/an-ocean-sunset I'm posting the link as a test. Hopefully you can hear the music. ?

Enjoyed reading everyone's postings here. Life has been relatively "Q" inside and outside work. The big thing that I've been doing is setting up a big "templet" in my audio-recording software for new music compositions (for 2019). It has over 100 (...

Dave - Just want to say a warm "Hello". . . Peace. . .

Wow. . . This topic is only one day old and already there are SIX pages of postings to be found. I received an email regarding this topic. Usually I ignore emails about posts from bulletin boards like the one that was sent from allnurses. But this to...

Some sound advice found here. Count me as another nurse who will not accept former patients as FB friends, for the reasons noted in previous posts.

Like others, I just saw this on Facebook, too. (The last time I actually "talked" to Brian was on Facebook, which was a while back.) I am at a loss for words except that I simply hold Brian and his family in warm thoughts and prayers. . . For Peace. ...

I guess I'm re-re-readdicted to allnurses. LOL! (It's always been a nice internet-resting-place to visit.) :)

Thanks! And Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! :)

Definitely. . . lots of what's been shared here are what I would hope to see in a new-grad/orientee nurse. Being eager to get all of the "task-stuff" out of the way (learned, practiced and competent) is a first step. For me, though. . . being willin...

Just want to say "Hello" from one New York nurse to another! Ted

I hope to take the PCCN exam sometime by the end of the year. I haven't stared studying for it, yet, unfortunately. Haven't even purchased a study-book for it yet. UGH! I've had co-workers attend lectures by Dr. Laura Gasparis before. They LOVED her ...

Congratulations! Edited to add: I see that you're currently residing in upstate New York. If you don't already have one, there are nursing job openings in the Albany, NY area.

nights verses days debate working nights rule!!! yea, night-shifters!! (i work the night shift.) nights are just as busy as days, just a different busy. asn verses bsn debate asn and bsn rules!! yea, asners and bsners!!! asners are just as edumicate...

Hello - I'm almost sure that this topic has been started sometime, somewhere on this bulletin board. But I'm no stranger to repetition and so I guess I'm presenting this topic again. But this topic was inspired by a very brief discussion, on anothe...

not new news!!! been saying this for years. . . . for decades, actually! in the end, though, a shortage is a shortage if ftes are not filled. having worked on a unit which experienced significant difficulties filling those vacant ftes, and keeping ...

Interesting . . . In quickly reading the article, it seems that the operative word is "temporary". It seems that the nursing "labor supply" may be experiencing a temporary bubble. The article continues that the nursing shortage most likely will com...

i work for a critical care access facility! i appreciate the compliment!! except, i take exception to your comment about us sometimes bickering like children. we do not bicker like children. we bicker like adult children! there's a difference! h...

Just reading through the posts, here. For some facilities, it seems o.k. to float. For others? Scary!! It least in the name of Patient Safety (not to mention employee satisfaction), I would hope that ALL healthcare facilities would provide its nur...

Worked both at a big teaching hospital and (now) a small community hospital. This statement is spot-on!! :)

Sooo not cool, tntrn, and freakin' scary. . . . Don't those unsafe staffing reports help in any way??

Which part of the day is most stressful for you? This is a somewhat complicated question for me because I'm actually going through a fair amount of stress now, not related to work. Ummmm. . . Normally, I'm most "stressed" when I don't get enough s...
