  1. Anyone recovering by choice?

    tachyallday posted a topic in Nurses 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...

  2. Anyone recovering by choice?

    tachyallday replied to tachyallday's topic in Nurses 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....

  3. Anyone recovering by choice?

    tachyallday replied to tachyallday's topic in Nurses 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...

  6. Doctors offended by TV show about nurses

    tachyallday replied to FullGlass's topic in General Nursing

    The Kevin MD post is stupid. The post here is stupid. The show looks stupid. I hate everyone.

  7. Preceptor is SO BAD!

    tachyallday replied to Guest606's topic in General Nursing

    LOL! This cracked me up!^^^ But to the original poster, seriously, who cares? Lots of people take ADHD & other psychotropic medications, Judgy McJudgerson. to improve their quality of life....

  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...

  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...

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

    tachyallday replied to LindaGracie's topic in General Nursing

    Seriously? Posting this "article," which is just a poorly-written BSN program paper (that leaves out tons of relevant information), is the last way to gain buy in for change in shift

  12. Am I too stupid to be a nurse?

    tachyallday replied to iconicqueen's topic in General Nursing

    Hi! Have you considered that you may have ADHD & your multi-tasking abilities for new things has nothing to do with your intelligence level? In fact, you may be compensating for attention issues...

  13. ICU to ED RN

    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...

  14. Aspiring RN, degree in Emergency Management?

    tachyallday replied to Sully7's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I am a nurse of over 10 years with ICU, PICU & ER background & department supervisory background. I just started in the ER early this year & started filling in as house supervisor here and...

  15. I've Been Employed at 7 Facilities as a New Grad RN

    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

  16. I've Been Employed at 7 Facilities as a New Grad RN

    tachyallday replied to Shookclays's topic in General Nursing

    Harsh words coming up here. The problem is you. Stop what you are doing. Take 100% accountability. Stop making excuses. Get used to being out of your comfort zone. It sucks balls to be a new nurse....

  17. Bullying / Hostile Work Environment

    tachyallday replied to jaznia15's topic in Advanced Practice

  18. ICU floating to ED

    tachyallday replied to 32539RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    No, not the norm, and sounds dangerous for all

  19. Quitting during probation/orientation

    tachyallday replied to musiklover7000's topic in General Nursing

    Whenever I take a new job, I tell myself I will give it a full year - that is enough time to decide if I really like it or not, and enough time to count is as experience on my resume. I have been off...

  20. Women's Right to Choose

    tachyallday replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not here to argue this^^^ I just presented both sides as I understand them. I'm tired of each side demonizing the other. Pro-lifers aren't out to subjugate women, and turn the US into that Hulu...

  21. Women's Right to Choose

    tachyallday replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    here is the issue: pro-lifer's honestly believe the embroyo/fetus/baby is SEPARATE from the mother, and feel they are protecting an innocent life, not rolling back women's rights. pro-choicer's...
