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 my unconscious body there. You probably sho...

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 program, I would not risk my academic future over conce...

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

   BSNbound21 replied to NewRN'16's topic in COVID

   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 imagine it would so I don't know if I can go by that a...

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

   BSNbound21 replied to NewRN'16's topic in COVID

   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 in b/t injections). The person I spoke to told me ...

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

   BSNbound21 replied to NewRN'16's topic in COVID

   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 seven injections but I honestly thought they said s...

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

   BSNbound21 replied to NewRN'16's topic in COVID

   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 vaccine might be a flop? Pfizer was recently awarded a...

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

   BSNbound21 replied to NewRN'16's topic in COVID

   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 interesting that recently two other companies were awar...

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

   BSNbound21 replied to NewRN'16's topic in COVID

   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 hold your breath for a vaccine. They are just now s...

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 writing the article and imply that the author isn't g...

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 gun into the patient instead of injecting the presc...

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 interaction....

13. Difficult doc

    BSNbound21 replied to missourinurse2b's topic in 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? Then he can go kick rocks. I've had to work for pl...

14. Openly criticizing a fellow nurse.

    BSNbound21 replied to hazyblue's topic in 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 to keep your opinions to yourself until asked speci...

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 aren't going to experience those side effects? ?
