Do you have a family member or did you yourself experience mental health issues? Do you believe in "good" versus "bad" people? Do you have specific religious beliefs that guide your work-life balance?

I am a new nurse who is not working now. I left my last hospital job after harrassment from administration. I was in front of the Director of Nursing and Human Resources. She (HR) casually diagnosed me with Parkinson's and suggested that I take smoke...

Hello, I have no experience in Emergency Medicine and I am not sure if this is even an Emergency Medicine question, really. I know that the guidelines for rapid response are always "it all depends". But I am sure I am not sure why/when I would call a...

I may be speaking out-of-turn here, but 2020 is here people! Have you chozen Dark Side? or The Rebellion? May the Forth be with you? (educational content has been provided by ChooseTheNaturalPath.com/Dirty-Dozen)

Would a previously nominal body-builder gain autologous b-12 if he/she reduces his/her calorie intake, given that the macronutrient profile remains relatively constant?

Concerning your statement about hunters, I duly administer genuine respect only to meat-eaters who hunt. It is so easy to get rid of evidence on a plate, but is it easy to put food on a plate? Meat-industry workers have a high risk of psychological d...

Thanks, RNNPICU and Thanks, chare.

I do agree that people with extreme dietary ideologies might tend to have experienced an eating disorder at some point. But how do you treat someone with an eating disorder? (Our) society is built on niceties, rules, structure, and hierarchical domin...

If it makes dollars, it makes sense. A dollar saved is a dollar earned. Wait... aren't most dialysis operated by a third party specifically because of cost issues? Am I making that up?

Is this what you would call, vegan spam?

I completed the Uworld question bank. I also liked Hurst a lot and recorded myself. By the way... the "NCLEX lady" is real!

"Wash" yourself of that which does not serve you, is my advice. <I myself recently threw a full-blown temper tantrum. At home though and without using... many actual words. I think that sounded not that great! ?>. Why did you become a nurse? W...

I have not read the entire thread, however I would like to leave a remark on the sentiment of this thread. I myself rarely curse, although I have worked in "private duty" in home environments that cursing was either taboo or welcomed. If any one were...

I would like to say thank you as well!

I am a new grad nurse and I guess this is T -3 months until I am a McDonald's employee. I do not know why I feel set-up to fail right now. I read a lot of these posts and take it... personally. Like a time that I initiated CPR in a nursing home, but ...

I hope you know that I was being snarkey when I said I would work be working at McDonald's soon. Thank you JKL33. I am really appreciative of the responses in general. I have copied and pasted a reply to a private message I recieved to demonstrate ...

I had a family member in the ICU during a nurses' strike. As a family member I found it scary to see the nurses standing outside with signs. My mom elected to move our family member to another hospital.

Thank you for the response, TriciaJ.

I passed the NCLEX, despite being very nervous. I was a classic case of "I know for sure I failed because it cut off at the minimum. Oh no! |.o.|" How I prepared for the NCLEX was (1) lots and lots and lots of practice questions, (2) video and audio ...

And kaylee, I do not feel like a bad guy. I feel like I have been in scenarios that patients could have recieved better treatment. But at the end of the day, I am still just one member of a team.

Ok, guys thank you I guess. But given the scenarios that I mentioned, would you have done something differently? Like would you work at a facility that did not have any isolation PPE provided in the facility? Maybe your answer is yes, but I do not th...

Olga, I am sad to hear your story. I hope to see that you respond with an update regarding where you are at right now. One bit of advice I will offer you is remember the concept of "inhibition" in higher functioning as a nurse. Last year I was employ...

I was initially drawn to psych nursing because I have been an inpatient psych patient about four times. Therefore, I am maybe more familiar with some of the stories leading up to mental breakdowns, loss of moral fabric, hopelessness, and general pess...

Ah, so true. Most days I am pretty non-judgemental, but every now and again my judgemental personality reemerges. I originally wanted to be strictly a psych nurse, but I changed my mind pretty quick. It is tough though, because in a med-surge environ...
