  1. Double Time Pay

    It's so hard to recognize these problems in the moment. I probably would have agreed too, and then once I got out to my car, I would have been like "...wait a second..." I agree with the prior...
  2. What orders from providers have made you laugh the most?

    This one really made me
  3. How to prepare for new office nurse job?

    Yes, keep us posted! I'm in Connecticut, and there are a slew of FQHCs: CHC, CHS, CHR, COHC.... I work at one of them.
  4. How to prepare for new office nurse job?

    I work in an FQHC (federally-qualified health center) and I bet its similar to what I do. I really enjoy it! I got hired as a new grad so it's the only thing I know, although now I do some other...
  5. Colon Cancer Survival: Kate's Story

    My father had colon cancer in his 50s, so I was aware that my risk is higher than the general population. I experienced some minor rectal bleeding on-and-off for a long time. I asked many...
  6. Professional Responsibility vs Family Needs

    This, 100% Part of the reason we hear about children dying from drastic abuse is because our CPS system is totally swamped with people reporting stuff like "mom lets her 17 year old smoke
  7. ICU Nurses Dealing with COVID Patients

    Is this for an assignment? If so, you'll need to give extra info so we know what types of stories you're looking to write up. If you're just looking for stats-- yes, unfortunately, people who...
  8. Radonda Vaught Was A Guest On A Good Nurse / Bad Nurse Podcast

    I'll give you the "botched liposuction" guy. That was criminal recklessness and might be in the same arena as the RV case. The other two are irrelevant though-- one was committing fraud for...
  9. Radonda Vaught Was A Guest On A Good Nurse / Bad Nurse Podcast

    I learned that there has only been one case in the US-- EVER-- of a doctor being convicted on criminal charges because of an action they took while working. If you heard the Dr. Death podcast, the...
  10. Radonda Vaught Was A Guest On A Good Nurse / Bad Nurse Podcast

    100% I agree with this. Whatever errors she made— she should lose her nursing license. She should NOT be criminally
  11. Severe Depression In Career Choice

    Hang in there. And definitely consider outpatient. The last time I stepped foot in a hospital was my last day of clinicals. I was hired at an FQHC (a clinic for low income people) as a new grad and...
  12. Pushing IV Meds Without Scrubbing Hub

    I like the advice you’ve gotten to “let it go”! In a stressful situation I’m likely to blurt out “OMG hurry up!” or something similar. Most people aren’t at their most gracious when...
  13. Have you ever given a ride to and from work for your colleagues?

    I think I’m glad I’m not one of his coworkers. If I didn’t have a car and a coworker offered me a lift, I’d gladly take it! Until that coworker started hinting around about how, since...
  14. For the record, I’m in a very blue US state and we haven’t had anything that could possibly be conceived of as a “lockdown” since March of 2020. I feel like the right wing keeps talking about...
  15. This is the way bigger offense IMO and should be the headline, rather than the card thing! She can say she didn’t fill out the cards (how would you prove she did?) but if she actually signed on to...
  16. The vaccine card thing makes me insane. I’m a vaccinating nurse. Those cards are pieces of card stock, printed on a regular printer. “Forging” a card isn’t something where you need FBI-level...
  17. How to Overcome the Battle With the Sunday Scaries

    Also— plan things to do for Sunday! (Or whatever the day before your shift is). I know in my family, we have a tendency to book Saturday full and then sit around the house all day Sunday. Which is...
  18. Yessssss
  19. Got The Worst Score On Quiz In My Class

    Solution is don’t ask your classmates what they
  20. Are you a Nurse just for the money or do you do it from your heart?

    I am primarily a housewife. My husband earns so much money that my salary from part-time nursing is pretty irrelevant to our finances. I work because I enjoy it, and because sitting around the house...
  21. That’s literally the point everyone is making. No “it do not” (sic) sound safe to
  22. I am going to be hospitalized for a minor surgery soon and I am frightened. Particularly because many hospitals are still disallowing family visitors. Which, I’m sorry, is incredibly irresponsible....
  23. Elementary vs. Middle School Nursing

    I REALLY enjoy subbing in the middle school. They are self-aware and can TELL me what’s wrong. I get annoyed (I’m sorry!) when somebody brings me a kindergartener who just stares at me and can’t...
  24. Epic HIPAA violation

    Same same same. I work outpatient (with an IT department which, quite honestly, is probably not competent enough to even run audits). Coworkers regularly engage in behavior that is so much worse than...
  25. Dislike Everyone In My Cohort

    That is really amazing that the professor is hitting so hard on that! I feel like she needs to stay in her lane. My instructors didn’t care how we chose to study, and I can’t imagine why she...
