  1. Upset Over Patient Who Crashed

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

    I work outpatient so fill me in. What's wrong with MONA? If a patient is having signs of a heart attack in our clinic, while waiting for the EMTs to arrive, we do give aspirin and maybe oxygen (not...

  2. Do you get annoyed when people ask you about your job outside of work?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    "What do you do?" and "How's work going?" are the top conversation starters in any social gathering. Some people are uncomfortable with it for a variety of reasons-- if you're unemployed it may be...

  3. Critical Thinking Meets the Aspiration Debate

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Jon E Soskis's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Yeah okay

  4. If you didn't have to bite your tongue?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    “Yes, that doctor IS an idiot. She doesn’t listen to your concerns at all— you’re right. She is the worst doctor here in the clinic. Her diagnostic skills are terrible and her approach to...

  5. Critical Thinking Meets the Aspiration Debate

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Jon E Soskis's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I give shots in the Pedi department of our outpatient clinic. I can not imagine anyone successfully aspirating (certainly not for 5 seconds) on a toddler. I sneak up and jab ‘em and get out of there...

  6. Is it really this bad every where?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to SunDazed's topic in General Nursing

    Just FYI here’s what Joint Commission has decided to focus on, according to their social media this

  7. RN Meeting With Corporate Compliance Over "Privacy Matter" Looking for Advice

    CommunityRNBSN replied to EDNurseCleveland's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I have always worked outpatient. My bosses have been clear that every patient is everyone’s patient, so we can all be in any chart (as we need to, obviously, not just for fun). I am so befuddled by...

  8. Employers' Background Investigation (i.e. social media)

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Guest 1152923's topic in General Nursing

    When I hear about employers googling, I always think I’m glad that I have a very boring name. It isn’t literally John Smith, but it is really close and there are hundreds of people in the US with...

  9. I don’t want to work extra!

    CommunityRNBSN replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

    This, this. I know not everybody can just up and quit. However-- I was recently in the job market because I switched my primary job to per diem. I filled out online applications for maybe eight...

  10. Just Got Hired But Want to Go Per Diem in Order to Travel RN

    CommunityRNBSN replied to EatCake2Day's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the poster who said to just resign. I think your manager will be irritated if you ask for per diem (and will probably deny it anyway). But resigning with proper notice is not an odd thing...

  11. Newborn Dies After Ransomware Attack On Hospital

    CommunityRNBSN replied to MunoRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you guys for weighing in. I’ve never worked in OB so I couldn’t really make heads or tails of the complaint. Hearing your thoughts has been enlightening. And while I’m glad the individual...

  12. Covid, Are We Still Here?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to STD-NP's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My husband made me chuckle with the same fast-food example. He and I are vaccinated but soon we will have to decide on vaccinating our son. The calculation is just different for children, since they...

  13. The Failure of Modern Healthcare due to Administration

    CommunityRNBSN replied to FlameHeart's topic in General Nursing

    I know it’s off topic. But I lived and taught elementary school in Japan for several years. I love their culture. But they absolutely hide away those with disabilities or differences, because...

  14. My boyfriend is still unvaccinated

    CommunityRNBSN replied to vio's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Is it possible he has a needle phobia and is too embarrassed to admit it? Seems way likelier than

  15. Reference book?

    CommunityRNBSN posted a topic in School

    I am going to start substituting for my local school district, which is small and suburban. My on-boarding and orientation starts next week. They are going to have me shadow one of the nurses for a...

  16. Religious Exemptions

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Guest219794's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Honestly, in my work in an outpatient clinic, I have come across many people who want “religious exemption” paperwork signed in order to be excused from flu or Covid vaccines. I can’t recall a...

  17. Should this RN be fired for giving med to housekeeper to give to patient?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    This sucks. The good news is— I speak from very recent experience— the job market is HOT. There are so many jobs available for both LPNs and RNs right now, you will not have trouble finding one....

  18. Leading from Behind

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Jedrnurse's topic in School

    I work in an outpatient clinic (sorry, not trying to invade your safe space!) and our administration works on the top floor. So, even before Covid hit, they were sequestered up there, far away from...

  19. SY 2021-2022 Roll Call

    CommunityRNBSN replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I’m on boarding this week as a

  20. Has anyone applied for a new position, while being in their 2nd trimester

    CommunityRNBSN replied to pinedaw14's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    At my last job, they hired a new clinician (social worker, not a nurse) when she was visibly pregnant. It caused some chuckles around the office, because it was clear she was going to go on maternity...

  21. Is this typical of most doctors?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to MarkMyWords's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Here is my experience: Doctors have about the same ratio of positive personality traits to negative personality traits as the general population does. So, if about half of grocery store cashiers are...

  22. Nursing Student Expelled After 'Insensitive' Assignment About Shooting

    CommunityRNBSN replied to MaxAttack's topic in General Students

    Good judgement is a vastly underappreciated trait. She was already on thin ice with her program, and instead of just doing the assignments in a normal way, she decided to be edgy. She edged herself...

  23. Will the BON reapprove our program?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to oldie's topic in General Students

    People are trying to ask you-- what is the certifying body? The Board of Nursing usually wouldn't be involved in accrediting a nursing program. Just clarify to help us out: What sort of meeting was...

  24. Forced to Drop Due to Clinical Placement

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I used to live in Alabama, and I know how highly-regarded UAB is. The fact that even they are pulling this is incredibly disappointing. NP education needs an overhaul, like,

  25. Were you a bully in high school?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Koalified's topic in General Nursing

    I think most of us had the same reaction— the poster sounds like a vicious bully. But s/he doesn’t recognize it because they think “everybody was doing it and if you claim victimization,...
