  1. Dislike Everyone In My Cohort

    CommunityRNBSN replied to sadsacrum's topic in General Students

    I attended zero study groups in nursing school. (For one thing, the students who wanted study groups tended to be the least bright.) I also made zero real friends, although I was friendly and got...

  2. Am I crazy or too old for considering this??

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Seaturtle01's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like you really want to do it! You don’t need permission from internet strangers. I’m a big believer in following your own

  3. Nurses Oppose New CDC Rule Lowering Isolation Time for COVID-Positive Nurses

    CommunityRNBSN replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Disaster Preparation

    What annoys me is this: for two years, those in the media and on social media harped on the fact that the CDC and Dr Fauci were Science incarnate, basically sent from heaven and infallible. If you...

  4. Fear of Retirement!

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Laine's topic in General Nursing

    I’m not retired, but I was a stay-at-home mother when my son was an infant. My husband worked long hours, so it was a LOT of unstructured time. What saved me was having a detailed, written schedule...

  5. Gobbledygook In Nursing

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Guest 1152923's topic in General Nursing

    services agency I worked for had DMR (Division of Mental Retardation) services which then became the Division of Developmental Disability services which then became the Division of Long Term...

  6. Switching from nurse to daycare teacher??

    CommunityRNBSN replied to NursePoopyPants's topic in General Nursing

    I am substituting now as a school nurse. I have zero inpatient experience, and near-zero pediatric experience at all. They are so hard-up that when I went for the interview, they said “One of our...

  7. What will be your New Year resolution?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    “Now” is January 1st, so this is a perfect

  8. The Flower and the Bees!

    CommunityRNBSN replied to spotangel's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for sharing this. My mother was a child abuse investigator (a social worker) when I was growing up, and as a result of her work, she always thought there were child-molestors hiding behind...

  9. What will be your New Year resolution?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    Last year, I selected twelve “monthly challenges.” As examples: Go for a walk outside every day; study Spanish every day; do a “push up challenge” using a thirty-day program. It was really...

  10. Epic HIPAA violation

    CommunityRNBSN replied to EmNightShamala's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Thanks for sharing— helpful

  11. Epic HIPAA violation

    CommunityRNBSN replied to EmNightShamala's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Here’s what I want to know (this is a real question, I’m genuinely curious). Why do the hospitals actively run searches and audits to sniff out people who are doing this? I work in an...

  12. Never Say Never

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Kristi Van Winkle's topic in General Nursing

    I can’t believe a nurse would insult someone over a stutter. That shows how cruel, uneducated, and ignorant some people can be. And she pointed it out in front of other students? A stutter isn’t...

  13. Newly Licensed RN, No Experience, Graduated 10 Years Ago

    CommunityRNBSN replied to hopefulnurse311's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree with scoping out the job boards like Indeed. There are so many jobs available right now, and a lot of places will hire new grads, which is essentially what you are. You may have to take a job...

  14. Patient Abandonment

    CommunityRNBSN replied to jung park's topic in General Nursing

    Your screen name looks like it could be related to your real name. If it is, you should change it to something

  15. Justifying the cost of an Ivy League Nursing Education

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Barbiegirl1229's topic in General Students

    Tl;

  16. Are there any travel nurse jobs for Unvaccinated Nurses?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Heart Attack Zack's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Travel nursing, I have no idea. I work outpatient in an FQHC that is always short staffed and hiring. We have been mandated to get vaccinated, but there is a procedure to apply and your case would...

  17. What's your most ridiculous supply shortage?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    I had a knee-jerk “WTH, 18-gauge?” reaction, but Bicillin injections are given through some kind of giant needle. I’ve never checked the gauge (they are packaged along with the med) but giving...

  18. Posting on Social Media

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Kellyjustkelly's topic in General Nursing

    the fact that she’s posting publicly to FB about a minor workplace misunderstanding involving one coworker indicates that this is not a stable, reasonable adult. Have as little contact with her in...

  19. 3 Injuries That Look Like Child Abuse But Are Not

    CommunityRNBSN replied to SoniaV.'s topic in Pediatric

    That nurses don’t know “this”— know what? This article covers quite a few different topics. Obviously nurses know that not every suspicious mark is child abuse. But that doesn’t mean every...

  20. I got a counseling letter because I refused to help another staff member with her personal problems?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    The observation that this was a really long elevator ride is spot-on. From the time an elevator goes from the tenth floor to the ground level, you basically just have time to say "Oh dear, I am so...

  21. Help!

    CommunityRNBSN replied to AnonymousGuest's topic in General Nursing

    It sucks and they *should* have to pay you, but it is what it is. Unless you plan to hire a lawyer for a cost much higher than one day’s wages, there isn’t much you can do. I agree with the other...

  22. COVID Vaccine Safety

    CommunityRNBSN replied to PPediRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Can you clarify “not good”? I see no red flags (or yellow flags) in the document you linked

  23. Help Me Decide Based On Your Experience

    CommunityRNBSN replied to MomWifeNurseStudent's topic in General Nursing

    I work outpatient and it is great for my family. The older I get, the more I believe in doing what is best for you NOW. What I mean is, try not to get hung up on what “skills” could...

  24. Paying People To Do Meaningless Online ED

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    My husband is an attorney and one of his coworkers tried to pull this. He went to a paralegal and said "Can you just click through this video for me so I can get my required CLEs?" The paralegal,...

  25. Mandatory Overtime

    CommunityRNBSN replied to ChknWing's topic in General Nursing

    Work outpatient. I’m being facetious really because I know that isn’t the solution for everyone. BUT I work outpatient and I know what my hours are because they are the same every week. Downside...
