  1. Rooting out Racial Bias in Nursing: Hope and Grace

    CommunityRNBSN replied to jeastridge's topic in General Specialties

    Again, there is a mountain of evidence that shows Black Americans get worse treatment across the board than White Americans (and no, that doesn’t mean that every single doctor’s visit is bad for a...

  2. Who qualifies as an essential worker?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to guest1143647's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yeah there must be a lot of variation among states. I work in an outpatient clinic, and officially we don’t even treat Covid patients (let’s be realistic, if you leave the house you’re...

  4. Nurses make me sick

    CommunityRNBSN replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    Just jumping in to say MOST nurses here aren’t doing it here either. But there are a lotttt of nurses, and some are, and therefore “nurse TikTok” has a ton of

  5. What is up with the level of entitlement?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to sofla98's topic in General Nursing

    “Status dramaticus”

  6. What is up with the level of entitlement?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to sofla98's topic in General Nursing

    I am 37 but have only been a nurse for 2 years. There is one aspect that I really respect among the younger group— they will stand up for themselves and they are VERY aware that the organization we...

  7. Nursing Career Options Given My Disabilities/Situation

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Mikeya's topic in General Nursing

    I work in a Federally-Qualified Health Center. It is a really good job— the pay is fine, not top of the scale, but fine. It’s also a 8-5 job, closed on holidays etc. Due to the type of clinic it...

  8. Case Study: Joint Pain, Rash, Hair Loss - What's Going On?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in Critical Care

    I hate all these case studies because they make me feel like a complete idiot.

  9. Feeling Extremely Lost And Angry About Graduating

    CommunityRNBSN replied to chocolateocean's topic in General Students

    I just wanted to echo what others have said about getting some perspective via a professional to help you sort this out. This statement above waved a flag for me. “How happy everyone else was”—...

  10. How to Answer a Patient Who Asks: "Does God Exist?"

    CommunityRNBSN replied to S.I.C.'s topic in Spirituality, Religion

    “Oh gosh, what a tough question. I’ve thought about it a lot too. What makes you think about God right now?” Patients want to talk about their own beliefs, their own

    CommunityRNBSN replied to candicenguyen's topic in General Students

  12. Will you take the Pfizer Covid Vaccine?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to guest83140's topic in School

    I’m getting Moderna on Monday. Am I nervous? Yes. I am young and healthy and I am not worried about catching Covid. I’m not getting the vaccine for myself or even for my family. But I am doing it...

  13. Should I Quit or Give up? Glucometer Failure ?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to cj_94's topic in General Nursing

    When I was in nursing school, every time I had to uncap a new syringe, I would stab myself with the needle. I was so nervous and jittery, because the nurse or my preceptor was standing there watching...

  14. Your Experience in Caring for People Diagnosed With COVID

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Newgurl17's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm in New England. Back in the Summer, we were down at like 1% and were quite proud of ourselves. But at the moment it's out of control and today it is 6%. Recently, within the past week, it was at...

  15. Your Experience in Caring for People Diagnosed With COVID

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Newgurl17's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I work in an FQHC in an inner-city area. We are running several Covid testing sites around the city (hundreds of tests daily). While I am no longer out swabbing noses, it often falls to me to call...

  16. Mid-school Crisis (PMHNP)

    CommunityRNBSN replied to indomie23's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thank you for this!! I am an RN but will soon be entering a PMHNP program. I didn’t even know that psychiatry podcasts existed. As soon as I read this, I subscribed to the Carlat podcast, and it is...

  17. Urgent: Need advice please?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to FutRNRock's topic in General Nursing

    In my FQHC, many people got sent home this week for “exposures,” and several tested positive. From the distribution of who has it, and timing, we can tell that they aren’t getting it from...

  18. Dropped from cohort

    CommunityRNBSN replied to guest874748's topic in General Students

    Somebody said “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.” Even though this is really your own fault (which you know), I’d take it as a sign. It the school is constantly...

  20. Does it feel to everyone else that many newer nurses glamourize the ER and ICU?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to The0Walrus's topic in General Nursing

    Haha

  21. Does it feel to everyone else that many newer nurses glamourize the ER and ICU?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to The0Walrus's topic in General Nursing

    I think sometimes people actually have no idea about other types of nursing. I work in an FQHC. Many nursing students have only ever been exposed to nurses on hospital floors. Last year, my alma mater...

  22. New job. Got injured. Fired for unexcused absences during new hire probation period... what did I do wrong?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, it sucks and I don’t blame you for feeling disoriented. But it is just one of those things. You had a run of bad luck. None of it was your fault. The run of bad luck ended with you losing your...

  23. How to work with nurses who have attitude?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to NurseCam's topic in General Nursing

    There must be one at every job. I work outpatient which means there are no “my” patients and “your patients.” All of the nurses are responsible for everyone in the building and on the phone...

  24. NP Student, highly wanting to do med school?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to FamNP123's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There is nobody online who can make this decision for you, unfortunately. None of us know you, and even if we DID— you are the one with insight into what you really want to do. I spent about...

  25. CEUs

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Lee132's topic in General Nursing

    My state (Connecticut) requires NONE! Which is incredibly surprising, because Connecticut is otherwise the land of paperwork, registration fees, and hoops. I don’t know why we require none. I think...
