  1. COVID: I'm ready to leave the hospital until the end of the pandemic guilt

    CommunityRNBSN replied to CardiTeleRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    ? This made me giggle, thank

  2. Currently on shift and disagree with instructions from charge nurse. WWYD?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to RileyisSmiley's topic in General Nursing

    I used to be a school teacher and I think you did a great job! Only one piece of advice: I wouldn’t start with “Did you have an accident?” Because when embarrassed, many people will lie, and...

  3. Now that the Covid 19 vaccine is just around the corner... Will it be mandatory?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I’m sure I will get it eventually... but I’ll wait until the last second! I am 37 and in great health. Statistically speaking, I have nothing to worry about from Covid (not saying I have zero...

  4. BULLYING at work as Usual

    CommunityRNBSN replied to CardiTeleRN's topic in General Nursing

    This may be unfair. It may violate their own policies. It is not

  5. Taking time off to take care of my new baby? Bad for career?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to nurseinthecity11's topic in General Nursing

    I know there’s the concept of “don’t have a gap in your resume.” However, nobody looks at a 30 year old woman with a 3-year gap and thinks “Gee, wonder what she’s been doing for the past...

  6. Covid Vaccine

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Nurseybl06's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I will get it, as I’m a healthcare worker (obviously) and want to protect my patients. The real question for me is my 9 year old son. He’s a healthy child, which means— statistically— he...

  7. What is your favorite shift to work?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Okay but if your shifts are 7-7, then it's the same as our twelve-hour shifts. The norm is that, because there's a 30 or 45 minute lunch period, the 7-7 shift is actually 7-7:45 or whatever. (And...

  8. What is your favorite shift to work?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    I am such a morning person, I like the early shift. My first career was as a school teacher, which was similar— start early, but finish around 3. When I work a later shift, even if it’s 10am to...

  9. New grad from online RN program with ZERO CLINICAL EXPERIENCE

    CommunityRNBSN replied to angel1312's topic in General Nursing

    It is definitely rough but hey— it’s a pandemic, and life is rough right now! Tons of things that seemed crazy have been normalized. For example, my child has not gone to school since March. In...

  10. Toxic relationship with nursing

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Stella_Blue's topic in General Nursing

    If you really feel like you are DONE and don’t want to be there anymore: Look into outpatient nursing. I work in an FQHC. It has its frustrations for sure (I was threatening to quit last week!) but...

  11. Experiencing racism and xenophobia when coming to CA to help with Covid

    CommunityRNBSN replied to xwill327's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    When I read your original post I was horrified by the statements your coworkers made. (Well... I was horrified by the “come to Nigeria and be killed” comment. The joke about “crazy trump” is...

  12. I feel very lost

    CommunityRNBSN replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    Don’t do that!! I’m closing in on 40 and you definitely couldn’t pay me to be 23

  13. Mid-school Crisis (PMHNP)

    CommunityRNBSN replied to indomie23's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I’m an RN, not advanced practice. But I really feel what you are talking about. I work in an FQHC, so our patients have all sorts of socioeconomic stressors and poor education, transient lifestyle,...

  14. Staff Burnout

    CommunityRNBSN replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    I wanted to second the “remote also sucks” refrain. I have several friends who are teachers who are doing remote. They are 100% considering retiring, moving away, etc, because of how brutal it

  15. New nurse leaving hospital for office job.. advice?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Cabana's topic in General Nursing

    Just my experience: I’ve never worked bedside. I work in an FQHC, with a variety of adult patients. I’ve been drawn to the psychiatric patients, and I feel like that’s where my natural interest...

  16. What the heck? (fat-shaming at work)

    CommunityRNBSN replied to HopefulRN4ever's topic in Home Health

    I love this response. It reminds the client that you are here to do a job. She’s not your buddy that she can chat about personal things with. If your weight doesn’t affect your job, there’s no...

  17. Holiday Travel and Mandatory Quarantining?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Queen of Icepacks's topic in School

    I’m in CT too. We are traveling the whole circuit— Alabama and Florida in December. My child (the only grandchild on BOTH sides) has not been seen by his grandparents since February, when up until...

  18. Non bedside nursing jobs?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to ericninetwo's topic in General Nursing

    I have a job in an FQHC (my first job out of nursing school). I really like it. It can be chaotic due to understaffing; patients with all sorts of backgrounds and needs; high turnover among...

  19. Reasonable Accommodations

    CommunityRNBSN replied to may1787's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Having a hard time piecing that one together but all righty. Best of luck to you, I hope you find a position that works for you. edited to add: It was good to read from the perspective of...

  20. Reasonable Accommodations

    CommunityRNBSN replied to may1787's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Then I’m not totally clear on what you are wanting from this message board. Two different posters mentioned concerns that they (non-experts in ADA law) felt about your accommodations. You replied...

  21. New Grads and Acute Care Hiring

    CommunityRNBSN replied to CardiTeleRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with this, and it has nothing to do with nursing. When you grow up and graduate from any type of school, it is very common to need to (and many want to!) move away from home in order to start...

  22. Nursing and being a youtuber

    CommunityRNBSN replied to xlightx's topic in General Nursing

    It isn’t likely to be a problem UNLESS his channel suddenly blows up and he becomes super popular. Then all of the media outlets would be saying “the person who runs the channel is reportedly a...

  23. What else can I do? Help please

    CommunityRNBSN replied to crystalpan's topic in General Nursing

    I actually got the job as a new grad; it’s the only nursing job I’ve ever had. I’m sure different facilities have different approaches. It is definitely worth applying. Search for “community...

  24. What else can I do? Help please

    CommunityRNBSN replied to crystalpan's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn’t include much IT, but I love my job at a Federally-Qualified Heath Center! No nights or weekends, it’s an 8-4:30 job. Every day is a different adventure; our clients are often homeless...

  25. Contested a Doctor's Order Psych ?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to mhadvrn34's topic in General Nursing

    You had a traumatic experience. It sounds awful. You still have to be objective when treating patients. When you make a blanket statement that these meds are “not effective at all” for...
