  1. Were you a bully in high school?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Koalified's topic in General Nursing

    I was not a bully, I was bullied. I actually think teaching attracts more bullies than nursing does. Me too. No

  2. New grad debilitating anxiety is causing me to not work

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Faithful2's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have severe anxiety and I work as a nurse. But the thing is that I WANT to be a nurse. I love nursing. So, I have a reason to tolerate or accept or overcome or handle (whatever word you want to use)...

  3. Mandating vaccine for children

    CommunityRNBSN replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My state doesn’t mandate flu vaccines for children, so I’d be a little surprised to see a mandate for Covid vaccine. And I’m in a state that mandates and legislates Ev-Ry-Thing. So when I think...

  4. Nurses Promoting COVID Misinformation

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Tigerlily8's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I agree with reporting to Twitter. I’m not sure about the BON, honestly. I’m just thinking about all the nurses who promote, like… crystals. Reiki. Essential oils. As treatments for diseases....

  5. Health literacy question

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Nueticles's topic in General Nursing

    What?!?!

  6. Why some nurses use the word "endorsement"?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Leonardo Del Toro's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes there are these little language tics that people don’t even realize they’re using. We have one nurse at our clinic who uses “this RN.” So, in a situation in which I would document...

  7. Pregnant, when do you start light duty?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    This falls under the heading of “people like to gossip and complain.” When I was pregnant, I was teaching school. Another teacher was also pregnant and was constantly taking time off to...

  8. Quit Job and Now Accused of Abandonment

    CommunityRNBSN replied to FolksBtrippin's topic in General Nursing

    Respond to the email and attach a PDF of your state’s definition of patient abandonment. Then tell them to go

  9. Health literacy question

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Nueticles's topic in General Nursing

    We have some immigrants from Central America who don’t read at all. I had a patient on the phone, using a receptionist to translate into Spanish, trying to figure out if he was taking his meds...

  10. I Am Absolutely Miserable Because I Hate Being A Nurse

    CommunityRNBSN replied to PerkyWallflower10's topic in General Nursing

    Whoops, this is edited. I wrote a whole post about seeking non-hospital roles (I like my FQHC job) but then I went and re-read and you’ve already tried outpatient. I do not agree that nursing is an...

  11. Advice please

    CommunityRNBSN replied to NicKi0410's topic in General Nursing

    Sure, Americans do work more. (Although the 12-hour days that people refer to on THIS site are because nurses typically work 3 twelve-hour shifts in a week.) According to the link you just posted:...

  12. Advice please

    CommunityRNBSN replied to NicKi0410's topic in General Nursing

    1) people are exaggerating. 2) the internet is not reality I didn’t even notice this. ? Yes, that’s in two weeks, not one week for heaven’s

  13. Do you think you are a "hero"?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    There’s one of those signs near my home, but it is placed in front of the corporate offices of a big medical conglomerate chain. No patients go in there. Administrative work is certainly important...

  14. I'm Dizzy, Tired and Can't Remember What I Ate for Lunch

    CommunityRNBSN replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    How is his kidney

  15. Unfair Grading

    CommunityRNBSN replied to RoseTh93's topic in General Students

    You’ve been given good advice here. You can take it, or not. But don’t keep logging on to argue with

  16. Yes, I'm Vaxxed But...

    CommunityRNBSN replied to grammieRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I had to get an MMR and a full Hep B series when I started nursing school.

  17. The US is Officially Nuts: Judges now telling hospitals how to treat COVID patients

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Anonymous865's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don’t think many of us blame the wife. She’s desperate. The concern is for the legal system getting involved and telling the hospital what to do. And I agree that in this case it probably...

  18. Explaining Absence During Colleague's Vacation

    CommunityRNBSN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    ? I’ve worked with this type before. They think that if they play the victim and bat their eyelashes and say “Oh gosh I’m so sorry, I always mess this stuff up, thanks for teaching me!” that...

  19. Covid-19 Religious Exemption

    CommunityRNBSN replied to NurseA2021's topic in Disaster Preparation

    One of my state’s biggest employers (hospital system) now requires a letter from a clergyman. You can feel your own private beliefs or whatever, but in order to get out of a workplace mandate, you...

  20. To Vaccinate Or Not To Vaccinate, That Is The Question

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Joe V's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The thing that makes me insane is that people who believe that vaccines are harmful almost never have real evidence or even a real anecdote to share. I am a big believer in anecdotes and personal...

  21. Explaining Absence During Colleague's Vacation

    CommunityRNBSN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Yes but that’s what is going to happen if you call out, too. I know you get on here and play the victim, but it isn’t cute or admirable. If you actually work the job that you say you do,...

  22. Advice On Appropriate Head Covering For A Transgender Nurse

    CommunityRNBSN replied to nogoodsirimonthelevel's topic in General Nursing

    I often wear a scarf on my head. (I don’t work in the hospital so I don’t know about dress codes for infection control.) I’m white, not Muslim, not wearing it for cultural or religious reasons....

  23. Have you heard of this type of grading before?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Zamzam's topic in General Students

    Yes. My idea is that they knew they failed each individual exam and quiz, but somehow thought they were going to pull out a pass in the course. But the professor doesn’t have to call you...

  24. Munchausen By Internet: Lies and Deception for Special Attention

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

    There is so much of this on Instagram, but typically with the goal of getting donations from community members, rather than medical treatment (so not really Munchausen, but just dishonesty). There is...

  25. Feel Awful after 1st COVID Vaccination

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Glam03's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Anecdotally (I’ve been vaccinating since Christmas), people who have already had Covid often feel awful after the first dose, and no symptoms at all after the second. So, fingers crossed, maybe you...
