  1. Unexplained Diarrhea and Weight Loss: What's going on? | Case Study

    CommunityRNBSN replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    Do we have an answer for this one yet? I'm curious about

  2. Student Preparedness

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

    I have an instructor now who gives us quizzes at the start of each class covering the assigned reading. They are not “pop” quizzes— we know they are coming. And they are pretty easy if you’ve...

  3. Bad Clinical Experience Today

    CommunityRNBSN replied to j0622's topic in General Students

    I have no idea what is wrong with these kind of people. I encountered one too when I was a student— she hated her job, hated nursing, and was going to make students miserable. Just file it away and...

    CommunityRNBSN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

  5. Coworkers Turning On Heavy Metal and Rock Music In the Dining Room For Elderly Residents

    CommunityRNBSN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    SilverBells, I say this with love, but do you actually have a nursing job? And do you have any hobbies/clubs for after work? You post (long, elaborate, thorough) a LOT. I suggest gardening after work...

  6. Why am I asked to fix things that are NOT my job?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to LPNwithBIGdreams's topic in General Nursing

    At my job (outpatient) ”Nobody picks up on the Appointments line” “I can’t figure out how to use the MyQuest app to get my Covid results” ”The pharmacy can’t understand...

  7. Working On Expired License

    CommunityRNBSN replied to KPowder's topic in General Nursing

    I know my clinic (FQHC in Connecticut) has no idea. I renew my nursing license on my own, because the state sends me emails reminding me when the date is approaching. However, my BLS was expired for...

  8. Vasovagal hypotension

    CommunityRNBSN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I work in a Community Health Clinic, so we don’t see a lot of emergencies. A rapid response usually means somebody slipped on the stairs. Anyway, yesterday I gave a girl (27 years old) a Covid...

  9. Predatory New Grad Contracts

    CommunityRNBSN replied to CreamCheeseRangoons's topic in General Nursing

    Also because you’re not a lawyer. Anyway: My FQHC doesn’t do this with new grad RNs, but they definitely take advantage of the providers. They hire new-grad APRNs who are obligated to a...

  10. Please tell me it’s just Medsurg!!

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Aweb's topic in General Nursing

    I knew from before nursing school that I was never going to want to work in a hospital. Thank God there are people who do. But I am so happy and fulfilled working in a busy outpatient clinic. I've...

  11. Other than Nursing, what other passions/hobbies do you like?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    I have a huge ego. You have to channel that. You have to tell yourself: “This information I am about to share is absolutely fascinating. My audience is going to eat this up— I can not WAIT to...

  12. Coworkers Opening Patient Windows During Inclement Weather

    CommunityRNBSN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Good

  13. Coworkers Opening Patient Windows During Inclement Weather

    CommunityRNBSN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Florence Nightingale was a huge proponent of fresh air and ventilation. So is Dr. Fauci, and SO AM I. Open the damn windows. If it snows or there's lightning, close

  14. Other than Nursing, what other passions/hobbies do you like?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    I actually really do like nursing-- one of the podcasts I listen to is the Carlat Psychiatry Report. I'm training to be a PMHNP and I just eat up anything in the field. However, aside from that,...

  15. Unexplained Diarrhea and Weight Loss: What's going on? | Case Study

    CommunityRNBSN replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    Knowing the weight of her stools (this is given as per her recollection) is bizarre and speaks to obsession with health. Psych consult needed. scarring noted on elbow and knee. What type of...

  16. Nurses Refusing to Administer COVID-19 Vaccinations!? | Nurses Week Contest

    CommunityRNBSN replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    My problem is when people say “We don’t know for 100% certain that it is 100% safe.” Well, welcome to human life! There’s a lot we don’t know, and an awful lot that isn’t 100% safe (like...

  17. How to Deal with Opportunists in Pre-Reqs

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

    I’m in a masters NP program right now. I haven’t seen any “opportunists,” but there are a couple people in my class who have no clue what is going on. And once each class, the professor puts...

  18. Wise Orders From Wise Doctors

    CommunityRNBSN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    When talk of the Covid pandemic hit in earnest and people started really freaking out, I made a passing comment to one of our doctors that I predicted rates of vaccination for flu were going to go way...

  19. My Instructor Used To Be My Nurse

    CommunityRNBSN replied to hikeclimb44's topic in General Nursing

    I really really wonder about the details of this (and I’m sure you don’t want to share more, which I understand). It seems unlikely— not impossible, but unlikely— that the one anecdote she...

  20. Vasovagal hypotension

    CommunityRNBSN replied to CommunityRNBSN's topic in General Nursing

    How dramatic! And also embarrassing of course. I’ve never fainted but I remember having near-syncope once. I was around 11 and my best friend and I decided to dress up as a two-headed ghost...

  21. Vasovagal hypotension

    CommunityRNBSN replied to CommunityRNBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes— the primary thing I was concerned about was her hitting her head on our hard tile floor if she lost consciousness. She was sitting in a chair at the time and I started moving stuff in case we...

  22. Buying a House on a Nurse's Income: How Do Nurses Afford $450,000+ Houses?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Well, we all have the ability to choose how we want to spend our money. My choices are certainly different from yours. I have no problem with your decisions until you start complaining that life is...

  23. Buying a House on a Nurse's Income: How Do Nurses Afford $450,000+ Houses?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah I’m over here scratching my head too. Maybe they’re heavy drug users?? Or running from the law and they have to pay six grand a month to a crime

  24. Buying a House on a Nurse's Income: How Do Nurses Afford $450,000+ Houses?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    You make 500k a year and you can’t pay off your quarter-million dollar student loans? And... what sort of degrees did you get that you spent that much money on? And... And what the hell did you...

  25. "Thank you for your service"

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    That’s a good one. I usually just say “Oh of course— stay safe out there!” with a
