1. Anyone recovering by choice?

   tachyallday replied to tachyallday's topic in Recovery

   Thank you, I genuinely appreciate the thoughtful replies. I have been taking it 24 hours at a time. Not only, for not drinking, but just getting through the day. I haven't had wine since Saturday. That's the longest break I have had in a few months. ...

2. Anyone recovering by choice?

   tachyallday replied to tachyallday's topic in Recovery

   Thanks Everyone. "If we don't make a choice to recover, we make a choice to suffer." Thank you. I guess what I meant by choice, was, nothing forcing anyone into recovery. Most of the posts I have read talk about legal issues & monitori...

4. Anyone recovering by choice?

   tachyallday posted a topic in Recovery

   It seems everyone here has been charged or "caught" with something. No judgement. Just being frank because I don't have the energy to sound sensitive or compassionate right now. I have wondered if I was charged with something, would that be the motiv...

9. Effect of 12 Hour Shifts on Patient Care and the Nurse: A Need for Change.

   tachyallday replied to LindaGracie's topic in General Nursing

   Your employer is breaking the law if they are forcing you to clock out, but not insuring that you are getting 30 uninterrupted minutes, and not paying you if you do not get them. If my break gets interrupted by work, I am not counting it as a break. ...

10. Effect of 12 Hour Shifts on Patient Care and the Nurse: A Need for Change.

    tachyallday replied to LindaGracie's topic in General Nursing

    I stand by, that: it is not well-written for this forum. We all know about change theory if we've been through a BSN program. You provide no compelling evidence whatsoever for improving outcomes, just purport that we should shorten shifts, and nurses...

    tachyallday replied to otterpop1989's topic in Emergency

    From someone that did many years of PICU & ICU, and now works in the ED. I would not have been able to walk into a per diem job ready to fly as an ED nurse. I think you may not know what you don't know. The ED is so different. You need to learn h...

    tachyallday replied to Shookclays's topic in General Nursing

    seriously, and $&*^ all over them. ICU? Couldn't do days? wth? A little gratitude goes a LONG way. OP has cost organizations a lot of money with his/her whims & I have zero respect for that.
