  1. How to educate spouse about what I do as an NP?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to deliverator's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This isn’t a nursing issue. This is a marriage issue. Find a good marriage counselor and learn to

  2. Non Bedside Nursing

    CommunityRNBSN replied to MM008's topic in General Specialties

    Federally-Qualified Health Center. A clinic for low-income

  3. Quitting first RN job

    CommunityRNBSN replied to wideyedfreedom's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, sometimes I think you need to just call it. Life is short. Nurses are in short supply; you can get a different job. Sometimes when we are in a situation, we get such tunnel vision that we...

  4. Mandated to work Saturday?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Bella1988's topic in General Nursing

    This is funny but it’s a good point. A while back, my clinic ended up desperate for someone to vaccinate on the Sunday of a holiday weekend. I volunteered to do it because 1) I didn’t have any...

  5. Second Thoughts on Becoming a Nurse

    CommunityRNBSN replied to ThePrudentStudent's topic in General Nursing

    What?

  6. How Should I Respond to a Bad Clinical Eval?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to lcb's topic in General Students

    Sounds like you made a good choice to let it go. I don’t know how your discussion about skin color went— since you did, on here, use the words “racist” and “BS,” I’m guessing the...

  7. Second Thoughts on Becoming a Nurse

    CommunityRNBSN replied to ThePrudentStudent's topic in General Nursing

    I became a nurse at 35, after being an elementary school teacher. I am so happy I changed careers. The pay is way way better. (I mean, also, I don’t like kids LOL.) What I love about it is...

  8. Did I Do The Right Thing?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Anon1423's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I feel so badly for this family, and I understand why they were upset. But you did the right thing in an impossible situation. The point at which someone thinks “We can’t handle this— the only...

  9. Are there any nurses that are not vaccinated? How to prepare to be safe at work?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to PrettyNerd's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Affecting it how? We’ve only been giving the vaccine for six months, so it would be mathematically impossible for someone to say they were fertile before being vaccinated and now

  10. RN as CNA

    CommunityRNBSN replied to 512Runner4lf's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Wow. Girl. Nobody here bullied you. I read the thread and it seemed like you explained what was going on, and your concerns, and some nurses

  11. Share Policies That Have Not Saved One Life

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I live in New England. We fill out a Zika (the tropical disease) screening form on every female patient. It was started when the concerns about microcephaly came to light. And I say “fill out”...

  12. Did you just TRY to bully me?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Conqueror+'s topic in Disaster Preparation

    Sure, the IC nurse was being unprofessional. And? I sort of feel like most adults— especially in healthcare but probably in most fields— learn to roll with it. Just ignore it This week I...

  13. Manager wants us back in office...

    CommunityRNBSN replied to rn30's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, I have one. I work in an FQHC. I guess I don’t “deserve” it (I mean, weird word choice but whatever) because I skipped the hospital. Ah well, they still pay

  14. Manager wants us back in office...

    CommunityRNBSN replied to rn30's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely. Our providers are really being resistant to in-person visits for things like discussing lab results. They say “It’s so much easier and faster on the phone!” But that is not what many...

  15. Manager wants us back in office...

    CommunityRNBSN replied to rn30's topic in General Nursing

    An office job is a cushy nursing job. Complain about if if you want but there are scores of burnt out hospital nurses who will happily work at your office while you stay home in your

  16. My mother caught COVID and is on the ventilator -- now what?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Aliareza's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I’m so

  17. 9-5 (or 8-5) shifts as a new grad possible?

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

    I don’t know what to tell you. I’m an RN. My coworkers are some of both— RNs and LPNs. Last year I got mad at my job and applied to a different FQHC. I was interviewed but by the time...

  18. Breathless, Coughing and Run-down: What's Going On? | Case Study

    CommunityRNBSN replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    I think I saw this guy at our FQHC this

  19. 9-5 (or 8-5) shifts as a new grad possible?

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

    My first job (which I still have) is in an outpatient clinic. I graduated in 2018, am when my son was 6. I work 8-4:30. There is no reason you cannot find a job like that too; it has worked...

  20. Crushing Burden of Regulatory Compliance on Healthcare

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    One HUNDRED percent. I work in an outpatient clinic and it is the same. The visit note is pages and pages of PHQ9 score, tobacco screening, alcohol screening, anxiety screening (all of which...

  21. Interview Panel, riddle me this?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to ORTech2RN's topic in General Nursing

    I work in an FQHC, and the interviewers are often anyone who has thirty minutes to spare. (The second interview is done by HR.) Our poor nurse manager has been known to interview pharmacy technicians...

  22. Psych NP school

    CommunityRNBSN replied to GaNicuRN14's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There are some people in my PMHNP who don’t have specific psych experience, but most of them have something a little closer than NICU (for example— ER, where they see a lot of psych emergencies)....

  23. Short Staffed: An Epidemic

    CommunityRNBSN replied to KellyM RN's topic in General Nursing

    The hospital can solve this problem by either not having any per diem positions, or by making the “bare minimum” be 7 or 10 or 15 shifts a month. What are your other suggestions— Nobody is...

  24. COVID-19 Vaccine Incentives

    CommunityRNBSN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I do agree with this overall. A free donut to get vaccinated is one thing, but payment is another. I am a big believer in public education campaigns— allay people’s fears if you have the research...

  25. COVID-19 Vaccine Incentives

    CommunityRNBSN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I had a very nervous patient in a while back. She said “I’m getting vaccinated because I work as an aide. The agency said they’ll give me 25 dollars if I get the shot.” So I said “Oh...
