    Suicide Prevention: Why are Healthcare Workers More at Risk for Suicide and What Can be Done?

    HarleyvQuinn replied to Kimika Medina's topic in General Nursing

    Don't forget situational risk factors, too. The hospital where I began my career lost a talented CRNA after a tragic case. A woman died of an infection after her c-section and the team blamed the CRNA...

    Freezing At A Critical Time

    HarleyvQuinn replied to PinkPeony's topic in General Nursing

    I'll never forget when I was new and in orientation, the Head Nurse and our educator (civilian CNS) came in super early one morning to pull a mock code on us. This was on a busy mother-baby unit and...

    Let's share some nursing tips

    HarleyvQuinn replied to LindaGracie's topic in General Nursing

    I'll add that you should use a heel warmer for infants prior to getting blood samples, especially if you're doing the newborn screening. Really helps to get the blood sample you need with less fuss....

    Math questions and weird answers

    HarleyvQuinn replied to anilea's topic in General Students

    I saw a question about the conversion of grains to milligrams on a dosage calculation test when in orientation for an ER position as an RN once and laughed. I'd been an RN for 5 years already at the...

    Suicide Prevention: Why are Healthcare Workers More at Risk for Suicide and What Can be Done?

    HarleyvQuinn replied to Kimika Medina's topic in General Nursing

    While I find this to be a necessary topic for us to consider among our colleagues, it's also important to remember how dangerous a topic that it can be, too. Disclosing a history of depression, PTSD,...

    Took A Gummy Which May Or May Not Have Had THC

    HarleyvQuinn replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    This violation is a flogging by the BON with thorned whips for the first time, THEN execution for the second offense. Floggings are scheduled monthly along with board meetings. Bring your own...

    Inability to Bill Prevents Pharmacists from Prescribing Paxlovid

    HarleyvQuinn replied to Terry Ann Donner's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This just in: Pharmacists decline to work for free just because Insurance agencies so frequently find ways to get Physicians, PAs, and NPs to.

    Monkeypox...Another Pandemic?!

    HarleyvQuinn replied to Sheana Gray's topic in Infectious Disease

    I suppose, in my view, it was gaining a lot of attention because it was seen as strange that it was gaining ground in countries that it had never before all of a sudden. All after we've struggled with...

    Monkeypox...Another Pandemic?!

    HarleyvQuinn replied to Sheana Gray's topic in Infectious Disease

    Really? In all the news surrounding the current spread, I've heard about how it's impacting predominantly men who have sex with men constantly. I, of course, can't say that all news sources are...

    Monkeypox...Another Pandemic?!

    HarleyvQuinn replied to Sheana Gray's topic in Infectious Disease

    Probably because it's not a sexually transmitted infection. It's an infection that is spread by prolonged close contact, secretions, blood, contact with the rash/skin of those infected,...

    AGNP AANP- The Dos and Don'ts

    HarleyvQuinn replied to momathoner09's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It probably isn't a good tool to use by itself, especially if you aren't familiar with what it is exactly and how it works to make the best use of it. The APEA tools work best after spending some time...

    Should nurses be forced to wear tracking device at work?

    HarleyvQuinn replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Right? Already self-conscious about the situation, which is just made so much worse. ? Some people play a game or two of uno on their phone to pass the time while doing their thing. I imagine...

    Should nurses be forced to wear tracking device at work?

    HarleyvQuinn replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    To be fair, there are staff that behave that way, and there are also paranoid/weird management that will literally stalk staff into bathrooms to "catch" them supposedly hiding or whatever. I wish it...

    AGNP AANP- The Dos and Don'ts

    HarleyvQuinn replied to momathoner09's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My program also incorporated the APEA predictor exams into our program. We took the 3P exam after we finished with advanced pharm, phys assessment, and pathophys as an overall check your knowledge...

    Nurses' Week is Coming. Our Nation's Nursing Professionals Deserve Better.

    HarleyvQuinn replied to IntelyCare's topic in General Nursing

    I remember Nurse's week turning more into Hospital week with less focus on nurses. Any and all free food or events were during the day and Monday-Friday only, so catered to Admin convenience, and...

    Epic HIPAA violation

    HarleyvQuinn replied to EmNightShamala's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Honestly... Yes, they do run scans/reports that show who has been in what chart and will track down those who are nosing into things they have no business in. Epic, as noted by an OP, has the...

    AACN Not Acceptable Certification

    HarleyvQuinn replied to JBMmom's topic in Advanced Practice

    Interesting. I wasn't even aware of the AACN certification, but that's likely because I'm an FNP. When browsing job listings here, they've all required certifications to be from ANCC or AANP (East...

    Cell Phone Use at Work: Is It Appropriate?

    HarleyvQuinn replied to SarahKixRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This can also vary by role. As an NP, I have various applications on my phone that actually help me throughout a clinic day, some of them are paid for. Some of them were actually recommended by...

    Ageism in Nursing?

    HarleyvQuinn replied to Guest1176712's topic in General Nursing

    It was a huge hit to my pride to realize I had no choice but to slow down. It took a few stern lectures from surgeons, too. I'm in a position now where my career is intellectually stimulating and I'm...

    Ageism in Nursing?

    HarleyvQuinn replied to Guest1176712's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I did. I advanced my education and chose FNP. I was merely pointing out that age doesn't necessarily equate to "slow," as it could instead be the result of injury.

    Ageism in Nursing?

    HarleyvQuinn replied to Guest1176712's topic in General Nursing

    I was actually thinking about the number of patients, but your point is true, as well. I'll never forget working in the ER and helping coworkers shift a patient up in bed. The patient was in a...

    Will nurses in the ER soon hear the following?

    HarleyvQuinn replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The original post looked like it was about those who are vaccinated demanding a front-of-the-line ticket just because of their vaccination status, regardless of their actual ESI level. Which, for...

    Ageism in Nursing?

    HarleyvQuinn replied to Guest1176712's topic in General Nursing

    Back and other musculoskeletal injuries from the job that create limitations can occur at any age. This is a very important factor to remember, especially with the increased acuity and heavier...

    Will nurses in the ER soon hear the following?

    HarleyvQuinn replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Disaster triage is so misunderstood by those who don't work ER or don't have military backgrounds, I swear. The media love to portray it in the most dramatic ways possible and common people see it as...
