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

   BSNbound21 replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in General Nursing

   I have strong feelings that this has to do with you going to the ER during your shifts. I personally would never volunteer to go to the ER during my shift; the only way I'm going is if someone takes...

2. Group chats and cheating?

   BSNbound21 replied to Emeraldstorm's topic in General Students

   unfortunately, it doesn't necessarily matter what your moral beliefs are when reporting cheating- she likely signed a handbook that makes it one of her responsibilities. Depending on the nursing...

3. How bad will it get in the fall/Winter time?

   BSNbound21 replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

   Got the injection today after a two-hour appointment (it's paid, so ndb). I think I got antigen and not saline. The EMT all but told me it was the vaccine. Will normal saline sting if injected? I...

   Quoting you both b/c I don't know how to "tag" people on here ha. So tomorrow I'm getting the first of two injections for P's trial followed by four blood tests (over time of course and possibly one...

6. How bad will it get in the fall/Winter time?

   BSNbound21 replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

   see my above post- this is Moderna's and I was called for Pfizer's (in my original post I thought I was being called for Moderna's). It's possible they said "seven visits" and I interpreted that as...

7. How bad will it get in the fall/Winter time?

   BSNbound21 replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

   I'm confused b/c when they first called me I could have sworn they said Moderna but they called me Monday to schedule the first injection this week and said it was Pfizer... I feel like Moderna's...

8. How bad will it get in the fall/Winter time?

   BSNbound21 replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

   I was told I would be getting SEVEN injections... but that's not what's been printed in the media and disclosed in press releases. It's possible the vaccine is going to be a flop. I think it's...

9. How bad will it get in the fall/Winter time?

   BSNbound21 replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

   There probably won't be a vaccine for one to two more years. I am in the process of joining Moderna's phase 3 trial and they have told me that it will last over the next two years. So, I wouldn't...

10. Dr. Pimple Popper Thinks Nurses Have No Place Educating Patients

    BSNbound21 replied to CaffeinePOQ4HPRN's topic in General Nursing

    The point is that this is a WebMD article that an RN is qualified to write. There's no need to attack it. Did she point out anything that's incorrect? No. If Dr. PP wants to complain about who is...

11. Radonda Vaught Fatal Error Case Timeline

    BSNbound21 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Terrifying that someone with this little common sense can work as a nurse. "I thought it was odd that it was a powder." What?? I mean... insane. "I thought it was strange that I was firing a loaded...

12. Where to go as a nurse if you dont want to work with patients at ALL?

    BSNbound21 replied to guest1074618's topic in General Nursing

    You definitely need to be a circulating OR nurse. You have to deal with them pre-op, but not for very long. If you want to be a scrub nurse instead, even less patient

13. Difficult doc

    BSNbound21 replied to missourinurse2b's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    "There is no written protocol" ought to shut him up real quick, along with a firm "also, I don't appreciate being spoken to this way." Does he pay you or make decisions on your employment status? No?...

14. Openly criticizing a fellow nurse.

    BSNbound21 replied to hazyblue's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Control your emotions at work. It will save you a whole lot of trouble if you learn to do this ASAP. Everyone feels things and wants to vent, but its best to just not. Unless it's an HR matter, best...

15. Question about prescriptions

    BSNbound21 replied to MarkMyWords's topic in General Nursing

    sure it's "alright," as long as the primary is okay being responsible for the prescription & any negative consequences of prescribing. how would you, I mean the patient, know ahead of time if they...
