  1. Total Number of Nurse Practitioners Hits 325,000

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

    All I know is what I see on the ground. I look at job listings for psychiatric NPs, because that is what I'm in school for now. In my state, people are desperate. The job listings read like: "Do...

  2. service animal in a high school

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Kristen D's topic in School

    (I know I’m being off-topic, because I know this thread is supposed to be about disability service dogs.) You’re so right about “emotional support dogs,” which I used to see constantly on...

  3. Breakroom Pet Peeves

    CommunityRNBSN replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    God, you are so dedicated to your patients. You’re clearly a superior nurse to me. I’m ashamed to admit that I leave on time, too, almost every day, to go home to my family. But thank you for...

  4. Breakroom Pet Peeves

    CommunityRNBSN replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. Well that explains

  5. Breakroom Pet Peeves

    CommunityRNBSN replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    My clinic has a very large breakroom that, if it were full, would seat about 50 people. It has a big-screen television which is ALWAYS tuned to the Steve Wilkos show-- have you seen this horrible...

  6. Nurses That Never Worked In A Hospital...

    CommunityRNBSN replied to guest1143647's topic in General Nursing

    This, 100%. Maybe my nursing school classmates look down on me for working in a clinic (although I don’t think they do), but I KNOW nobody else in the world cares. At my church, for example, people...

  7. Frozen on the First Day of Clinicals

    CommunityRNBSN replied to kdstarwrites's topic in General Students

    I recently had some students on the floor to help with Covid vaccinations. I’ll say that what we nurses really want is for you to be friendly, have a smile, and offer to help with things. These were...

  8. Need Advice! CA BRN Will Not Accept My WGU Advanced Pharm Classes!

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

    Amen. How can this possibly fall on the shoulders of the students? Because there’s no oversight and shady schools are allowed to get away with

  9. Manager Woes

    CommunityRNBSN replied to WriterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I’ve been at my current job for about two years and I am on my SIXTH nurse manager. The people in administration just make their lives a living hell. At first I was all excited that each new person...

  10. Kicked out of Nursing program

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Naseberry's topic in School, College Programs

    100% Every time a person has said to me: "Can you believe I got fired for doing XYZ?!?" and the story just sounds insane... Well, that usually isn't why they got

  11. Brain skills in methadone clinic

    CommunityRNBSN posted a topic in Addictions

    I have an interview at a methadone clinic this week. I am currently employed at an FQHC and I’ve enjoyed it but am looking for something new. I have never cared about my “skills” like IVs or...

  12. When You Hear Hoofbeats

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Dr Georgianna Donadio's topic in General Nursing

    Can you link us to some of those studies that are related to the symptoms described in the

  13. When You Hear Hoofbeats

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Dr Georgianna Donadio's topic in General Nursing

    Yes but that study is about asthma and allergies.... It isn’t related to the case you discussed here. And the first link you sent is from a company that sells home water filters....

  14. When You Hear Hoofbeats

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Dr Georgianna Donadio's topic in General Nursing

    I’m also a little baffled and need more info. Did you do blood tests to check his calcium and magnesium levels before prescribing

  15. New RN Age

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Kooper48's topic in General Nursing

    Not even close. I was 36 and definitely not the oldest in my graduating

  16. Taking a break? How long until you came back?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    I always view AllNurses as a light, fun way to spend some time. There have been times when I felt less-than-edified by it-- usually when I make a post and then I feel I've been misunderstood by some...

  17. Which patients are you most scared to take care of?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    YES I am clumsy too. One of the reasons I never aspired to a field like ICU was that I just knew I’d trip over the trachs and knock over the chest

  18. Secondary COVID exposure? What?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to CardiTeleRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I’m with everyone else. Symptoms mean you should stay home. But you haven’t had an exposure (which is, again, irrelevant because you have symptoms). If we quarantined everyone who was...

  19. Mistakes

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Ferniato's topic in General Nursing

    On my first day of clinicals, my first patient, I was paired with another student. The RN told us to go in and assist with feeding lunch to a patient. We gave him one bite and he started hacking like...

  20. Pros and Cons of Taking Evening Classes

    CommunityRNBSN replied to TheNursingdoll's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I’m taking late-afternoon classes right now. They start at 4pm and go until about 7. I hate it! I am such a morning person. By 5pm I feel like my day should be DONE. Plus, it’s right at supper

  21. Which patients are you most scared to take care of?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I work outpatient and I like my patients upright and talking to me. Anything lower than that level of functioning freaks me

  22. Infection after Vaccination?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to MeganMN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I am vaccinating full time. I had a patient arrive today for her second shot, and she told me that in between her first and her second shot, she caught Covid! A mild case though. We laughed about her...

  23. Student Preparedness

    CommunityRNBSN replied to rob4546's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    That is such a tough position. The schools don’t do kids any favors when they admit them to programs they aren’t prepared for. But the alternative is that they’d have no chance at all— it is...

    CommunityRNBSN replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for the

  25. Mortgage for new RN

    CommunityRNBSN replied to gellyx3's topic in General Nursing

    Before you decide what a mortgage lender will give you, find out what you really want to spend! My experience is that they wanted to approve my husband and I for 1.5 million dollars (he had a high...
