  1. Decapitated baby

    CommunityRNBSN replied to SHH's topic in General Specialties

    Yes-- SOMETHING horrible happened here (a baby definitely died) but honestly we know very little right now. Wanting to reserve judgement until we know what happened is not crazy, or evil, or...

  2. Decapitated baby

    CommunityRNBSN replied to SHH's topic in General Specialties

    Yes, the thread is a dumpster fire. I hope a thorough investigation is done (NOT by the hospital!) to figure out what the hell happened, and who was involved. This is the doctor. Her...

  3. Sick of other NPs abusing patients - psych practice

    CommunityRNBSN replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You sound really defensive. You came on here for advice, and you got good advice. I'm sorry you're in a tough spot, but lashing out about how anonymous online nurses-- all of whom tried to help...

  4. Patients Filming You

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Anonymous666's topic in General Nursing

    I mean, of course each province varies, as do each of our

  5. Miss being bedside

    CommunityRNBSN replied to rn_guy89's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Some people love outpatient, others not. Although I did love outpatient and I still don't think I'd enjoy what you describe. I worked in primary care, and I was able to form relationships with some of...

  6. LVN Semaglutide Business

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Gabbyfrances's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Okay, well, you asked, and we all told you, "Hell no." I'm glad you decided not to pursue

  7. LVN Semaglutide Business

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Gabbyfrances's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Yes. In many states a CNM is the equivalent of an NP— just a different title. Which is 100%, entirely, completely irrelevant because you're talking about an LPN/LVN giving people questionable shots...

  8. Change in Triage Policy

    CommunityRNBSN replied to skylark's topic in Emergency

    Wow— sounds incredibly unsafe. If the person is in active labor or anaphylaxis, how is anyone going to

  9. Suspected Diversion

    CommunityRNBSN replied to nurse_elle1956's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Thank you for finding that!— definitely adds some context to this

  10. Help, unable to comply with IPN

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Ovrblown's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I know you said it's impossible, but basically you have two choices: Do it, or find another career. And please don't write it off as "impossible" until you and your wife have really sat down and...

  11. Alarm Fatigue Allegedly Leads to Woman's Death: Lawsuit Filed

    CommunityRNBSN replied to allnurses's topic in Nursing News

    I see this even in outpatient! We don't have audible alarms. What we have are "critical" pop-up screens. Often they are about drug-interactions that are vanishingly rare, or just not relevant to the...

  12. Advocacy

    CommunityRNBSN posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    I am about to graduate from a PMHNP program. It has been rigorous— all on-campus at a well-established local university. Detailed oversight of our clinicals, with site visitors from the university...

  13. Advocacy

    CommunityRNBSN replied to CommunityRNBSN's topic in Advanced Practice

    I was horrified by it too. I think what happens is, in many online schools, students are responsible for setting up their own clinicals. So they go through the phone book and call anyone with a...

  14. Was this unethical of me?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to guest1200295's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, it is hard to differentiate idle curiosity from "need to know" sometimes. I was working as a school nurse, and I saw a note in a child's chart about a tragedy that their family experienced....

  15. Confused new nurse seeking advice ... please help?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to jss1985's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, it is hard to shift from a PCT role to an RN role with your "old crew.” I'm not saying people can never do it, but it is hard! The people who were your friends and coworkers (other PCTs)...

  16. My professor isn't the easiest to deal with.

    CommunityRNBSN replied to ForJanesSake ASN RN's topic in General Students

    I feel like if the professor gives you the answer key, it is totally reasonable to expect students to go over it themselves and figure out what they did wrong. There may be a small number of questions...

  17. Nursing School Physical

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Edeninthetrees's topic in General Students

    People are successful nurses with all kinds of disabilities and all kinds of ailments. Don't tell yourself this story about how you "have to be in tip top shape.” Very few people are lucky enough...

  18. Did I do something wrong as a sitter?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Sweetme2's topic in General Nursing

    100%. And I love how you phrased it— "come in a little hot.” I'm guessing you lunged at the patient with a look of panic on your face, and it scared them. Okay, well, you're a human being! The...

  19. School Nurse/Vaccines

    CommunityRNBSN replied to moomin's topic in School

    You have so much staff!! You must work for a large district. My district has five RNs (one for each school) and that is

  20. Is the Women's Health Nurse Practitioner a Dying Specialty?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Quierra Rodriguez's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I love a good FNP, but I 100% prefer to see a specialist if possible! I would love to see a WH NP for my gynecological care. I just graduated as a psychiatric NP, and I am so prepared to practice in...

  21. CE Subscription

    CommunityRNBSN replied to TheoBeo's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't, just because there is so much available. As others have mentioned, many workplaces provide them. My workplace doesn't, but I don't have any trouble meeting the requirements from using...

  22. Georgia law prohibits DNPs from using the term "doctor"

    CommunityRNBSN replied to klone's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    So are they coming for the psychologists? Every clinical psychologist goes by Dr X, and heck yes it confuses patients (who don't know the difference between a psychiatrist and a psychologist). So......

  23. Sick of other NPs abusing patients - psych practice

    CommunityRNBSN replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Unfortunately, this problem really goes beyond one NP. I am a newly-minted PMHNP, and I've seen a lot of things in my prior RN work and in my clinicals. We received patients from FNPs, PMHNPs, and...

  24. fatFIRE and Nursing?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to futur0_nurs's topic in General Nursing

    This is such an important piece of it. Life is all about balance I think. I'm a huge believer in living frugally and saving! But also, I have met people who are so focused on that, that they don't...

  25. How do I tell my boss...

    CommunityRNBSN replied to JustRNingAlong's topic in School

    Just remember that no matter how well you get along, it is still just a job. You aren't getting divorced! So she may be sad to see you go, but it's not a betrayal or anything. If you know for sure...
