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...

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. ...

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...

around me. I blend right in.

I hadn't for a long time! ?

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

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. Seriously, maybe it would work a little better for you t...

No. Not at all.

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. ...

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...

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 length.

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 with your intelligence. I would consider doing som...

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...

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 there. After a disaster drill when I found myself...

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.

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. Your resume is covered in red flags, so pick a job a...

F this situation - you can do so much better. I recommend saying, "peace out." Good luck, the world is your oyster (to a degree, a big one!) ❤️

No, not the norm, and sounds dangerous for all involved.

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 of ED orientation for 2 months. It's really hard t...

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 show that is so well-done that I can't even remember...

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 honestly feel the embroyo/fetus/baby is PART of the mot...

New ED nurse here, but not a new nurse & just looking for some insight..I have extensive ICU experience, and I have seen high potassium many, many, many times, upwards of 6 without symptoms, even upwards of 7 without symptoms...I never recall any...

Thank you!

Lol @ "would you care to speak with ER Doc?" - I'm going to utilize this question - thank you! Ok, so I'm not off-base in my assessment that these docs are getting really excited when there is no need... In your ER experience, when do you start to ge...

you come here for advice...experienced nurses are giving it to you & you are repeating the same thing as your first post. you heard nothing. take the cotton out of your ears & put it in your mouth. you don't have to 'like' what we are saying,...
