  1. Returning After Starting Antibiotics

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Jedrnurse's topic in School

    I agree that this is the reasoning. The 24-hour thing for vomiting (I realize that's a separate issue) has always bothered me. Because I've seen cases where a child vomits at school at 9am, they are...

  2. Exemption Friendly Facilities

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    You would not be allowed to work as an OR nurse and take your service dog into the OR with you. Even though the dog is life-saving if it’s your epilepsy response dog (and therefore it is certainly...

  3. C Diff Contamination Fears

    CommunityRNBSN replied to nursebrianna20's topic in General Nursing

    So, my current role involves a lot of psych and almost no infection-control, so when I read your piece, the OCD part was my primary concern! Here’s my thought: When you are away from work, and...

  4. Opinions on Employee of the Month

    CommunityRNBSN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    When I was looking at a job board recently, I saw an ad for a nurse at a group home. Under "requirements," it said "All staff must be awake for their entire shift." I was like, Dang, I don't know,...

  5. Life in the vaccine clinic (can I whine for just a moment?)

    CommunityRNBSN replied to klone's topic in Disaster Preparation

    AND can I just add-- as someone who does this in our clinic too-- Those Pfizer vials are so full of air! When you add the diluent, you have to pull out practically a full syringe of air, or...

  6. Relatives Invited Themselves For Thanksgiving...

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    My relatives live 1,000 miles away and we have planned a trip to visit. It will be an adventure. One of the (adult) relatives announced today that they would now like to be referred to as “they”...

  7. 3 Injuries That Look Like Child Abuse But Are Not

    CommunityRNBSN replied to SoniaV.'s topic in Pediatric

    I remember when I moved to Japan, I went to a public bath and saw a toddler running around naked. He had a Mongolian mark and, as you said, it looks like a bruise. I thought, “Damn, somebody’s...

  8. Where do you stand on "Nurses don't get paid enough"?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    I mean, that’s fine, but I’ve only been a nurse since 2019. And I’m glad you don’t think driving a truck is stressful— for me, it certainly would

  9. Where do you stand on "Nurses don't get paid enough"?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    I hear what you’re saying, but I disagree. Here is my perspective. I earn $40 an hour, which seems about right to me. I feel that my husband deserves more than I do, because he works *much* longer...

  10. Starting New Life, Overwhelmed Need Advice

    CommunityRNBSN replied to StartingFreshin21's topic in General Nursing

    Edited: I just read more closely and now I understand that you didn’t have a lawyer. If there is any way you can scrape the money together, please consult with one now. Your husband screwed you over...

  11. Moderna Booster - What was the dosage used in your facility?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    As someone else said, a “third dose” is different from a “booster.” Third doses of 0.5mL are for those who are severely immunocompromised; booster of 0.25mL for everyone else. Is it...

  12. Where do you stand on "Nurses don't get paid enough"?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    I am paid very well, I think. I live in Connecticut and work outpatient. I make about twice what I made when I taught elementary school. (And I had a masters’s degree in education, and only a...

  13. How do you know when you've found your niche? Unhappy with nursing in general

    CommunityRNBSN replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. True. It’s an anonymous website, so,I

  14. How do you know when you've found your niche? Unhappy with nursing in general

    CommunityRNBSN replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    That seems a little extreme. Obviously I read the

  15. Needle Spiking in Nightclubs Cause Alarm

    CommunityRNBSN replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    Just to be clear, the update from the police in the Scott concert is that there is absolutely no evidence to suggest anybody stuck anybody with a needle. That’s a conspiracy theory, and...

  16. How do you know when you've found your niche? Unhappy with nursing in general

    CommunityRNBSN replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    I didn’t feel that this was a helpful response. It sort of reminds me of when I was the parent of a newborn and felt overwhelmed and unhappy, and acquaintances would say “Oh just wait until he’s...

  17. Finding Churches that Support Fighting COVID19

    CommunityRNBSN replied to FlameHeart's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I am an active member of a Congregational church in New England. They are being quite cautious about Covid (more so than the transmission rates in our area really call for, in my opinion). But even my...

  18. What is the pathophysiology? SPO2 34%

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Guest219794's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Have no idea but I’m SOB just reading about

  19. Less restrictions for DM I kids

    CommunityRNBSN replied to arlingtonnurse's topic in School

    I can see this type of thinking. I sub in all the schools in my district. We have one early-elementary who is so brittle that, even with pump and CGM, she definitely needs a nurse or a parent or...

  20. Classmates Using Test Banks

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Pot8rsk8r's topic in General Students

    This made me laugh. However, it is a real mark of honor to you that you identified the problem as “I didn’t effectively teach them” rather than “All these kids are idiots.” Because let’s...

  21. TRAGEDY at Clinical!

    CommunityRNBSN replied to fatima abdulla's topic in General Students

    I think that what the poster meant was: The student lied about it to avoid getting in trouble. It worked, apparently. I think the allnurses poster above was saying that the lie will come back to haunt...

  22. Full Practice Authority of Nursing

    CommunityRNBSN replied to matthewandrew's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I think you’re mostly right. At my university, there ARE some extra clinical hours for the DNP students, but it isn’t a whole lot

  23. Full Practice Authority of Nursing

    CommunityRNBSN replied to matthewandrew's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I’m not trying to start up the same old debate again. But. I am currently enrolled in a well-regarded local brick-and-mortar MSN program to become an NP. It is one of the best programs available in...

  24. No autopsies allowed for covid positive deaths?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm so tired. My mother sends me messages like this too. "I heard from this lady at church that her neighbor's sister had Covid but then she died in a car wreck and the hospital said she died of...

  25. Upset Over Patient Who Crashed

    CommunityRNBSN replied to raindrop's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Thanks!
