Nurses Begin Trauma Recovery from COVID: 5 Ways to Cope
I'm glad many nurses didn't experience the wrath of " covid" or got covid " and are still alive", for some patients and healthcare workers are not alive today. It doesn't surprise me that some nurses believe it is a hoax or it is just the "FLU". Last time I checked, flu doesn't give you Sp02s % in the 20s or 30s. Reality is, covid hit many areas of the U.S differently. My area got destroyed by COVID, our ED was full of positives and PUIs. Non- covid patients were seen in outdoor disaster tents. Intubations/ BIPAPS left and right, codes, daily EMS bypass. I am know working in a different unit, the other night, I was almost assigned a COVID-19 patient and something weird overcame me. In my head, I began to panic a bit and got palpitations, never has this happened to me, not even under the worst of covid times.

Biden suporter assaults 7 year old child, supposedly she is a RN
"Thank you Mr. President for creating such a divisive nation" said someone once ✊?✊?✊?. This political violence is getting out of control. Poor parenting on the mother for allowing that child to wear that hat. That child can't vote and obviously doesn't understand what the, "others" meaning of that hat is.

RN's required to be sitters???
Sign me UP, RN wage to sit, Done Deal. When we get an assignment, we get destroyed. COVID on top of high acuity patients. I'd rather sit than wear PPE/ PAPRS for 12 hours.

Brandman University ABSN Program
Hey everyone, I'm helping my brother out. Brandman is stating that he needs to take A&P 2, even though he took A&P 1 and 2 at National University. According to the course articulation database from Brandman, both A&P 1,2 from National U are transferrable to Brandmans A&P 1,2. The advisor sucks and we are not getting any answers, who can he contact directly to clarify the course articulation?? Thanks everyone and thank you for deciding to become RNs.

Congratulations to everyone who got in, my lil brother just received an acceptance letter via email for the cohort to start Jan 2021.

Brandman University ABSN Program
yes, he found out via email shortly after he applied. They didn't ask him to reapply so I'm guessing he might be in for the next cohort, I hope!

Does anyone know how the wait list works. My brother applied in October, and Brandman U stated they would put him on the "waitlist". He finished all Prereqs, does the waitlist mean he is automatically in for the next cohort? Thanks everyone.

Disrespect & Profanity
Let me school you real quick on some cultural competency. In some cultures, such as hispanic/ Filipino, " mama, papa, mamita, papi" are terms of endearment usually used to address the elderly. I work in a hospital that is majority hispanic, filipino and we use this term alot. I also find it very hilarious that you're getting triggered over the use of these terms. Dont come to our ER, or we gonna beef! LOL

Assaulted by psych patient, police officers walking by did nothing?
Sorry, you had to go through this brother. I work in an ED where many code greys are paged per shift. Staff members and security officers are assaulted quite often including me. Your situation is a bit tricky due to medical/ psychotic side of the patients' condition. Do you think I should do anything? You can try and press charges but its not going to go anywhere due to the medical aspect of this situation! trust me, my coworker got kicked in the face by a patient, he pressed charges, hasn't heard anything and it has been a year. lol File a complaint, or let it go? Definitely bring up to leadership because this tihs has to stop, nursing education tells us that chemical restraints and physical restraints are last resort but B52 and TATS can prevent staff injury. By the time were at last resort, an ED tech has been chocked and slammed and security has their face bit off! We need to advocate for ED staff. Does it sound like the police were following protocol by not stepping in? PD should have assisted if there was no other help around but otherwise security is the PD of the hospital and they have their policies and procedures to follow.

Nursing School S-O-S
Glad you endured the grind big homie. Congrats on passing the NCLEX. Nursing school will easily humble the 4.0 GPA in HS/ College students.

265 questions is almost guaranteed if your a male.
Conspiracy, I took my NCLEX and stopped at 75 Qs. I know about a few other males who also stopped st 75. Additionally, all my ED nursing supervisors are all male. ??
