  1. Why are so many nurses against unions?

    jinct replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I'd have to agree that unions are horrible these days. My union has done nothing to help during this crisis. They have spent all their time petitioning the hospital for hazard pay and continue to do...

  2. Support Planned Parenthood Today!

    jinct replied to elkpark's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    What an insanely vile statement. I truly feel sorry for you, but I'm glad no child will have you as a mother. Sheesh, may God have mercy on

  3. Do male nurses face gender bias in nursing education?

    jinct replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    I always wondered what the profession would look like when the victimhood mentality and perpetually offended entered in. I think this thread has evolved into my answer ? Im a male nurse. I...

  4. Do male nurses face gender bias in nursing education?

    jinct replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like the same question asked in 2 different ways, but same meaning. Of course its biased, as are most

  6. Condescension from Critical Care Nurses Towards Med-Surg Nurses

    jinct replied to SkittlesMcRainbowbutt's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    As an ED nurse, I don't know everything that's going on with my patients. Sometimes I'm stuck with a critical patient and am not able to tend to the others. Someones doctors don't communicate well....

  7. Condescension from Critical Care Nurses Towards Med-Surg Nurses

    jinct replied to SkittlesMcRainbowbutt's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    As an ER and rapid response nurse, I really hope I never start sounding like this. Please, people, call me if you feel it necessary. Even if it ends up being something "stupid" I'd rather that than...

  8. Do male nurses face gender bias in nursing education?

    jinct replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

  13. Do male nurses face gender bias in nursing education?

    jinct replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    Im curious because it would seem to me that a study of gender bias in nursing would, by definition, have to consider the objective truth of a person's gender in order to be taken seriously. What I...

  14. False positive drug test for Benzos

    jinct replied to NurseMotivator's topic in General Nursing

    Respectfully, you are quite misinformed. Valerian root and passiflora, or the passion flower, are plants that have been used for eons as muscle relaxers/pain relievers. Chamomile is another one. It...

    I am an ER nurse. I came on shift and received report on an elderly pt. with dementia. There was an order for 2.5mg haldol IM. I was told by the provider not to give the pt. the haldol because she...

  17. R.N. debating to pursue BSN

    jinct replied to Martinezrn84's topic in General Nursing

    Only do it if it is part of your personal or career goals. Personally, I don't find any additional value in the BSN, but I am still paying off the student

  18. Scared new nurse jitters

    jinct replied to lilnurseL's topic in General Nursing

    Every new nurse feels this way. Time and experience is all you need. My only advice is to do your best and DO NOT feel embarrassed to say you need help or you don't know how to do something. New...

    jinct replied to jinct's topic in General Nursing

    Just a quick update... The other nurse did end up getting suspended... for 3 days. I heard through the grapevine that she was put on probation too, but I don't know if that's true. Also, I put in my...

  20. Work asking all the time if I can work extra At work and home

    jinct replied to skittlebear's topic in General Nursing

    I was in the same position once. I finally told my boss that I am no longer able to pick up extra shifts due to other obligations (And, yes, rest and self-care is an obligation). She still asked for...

  21. Fired for saying i might file safe harbor

    jinct replied to Wish4goodstaffing's topic in General Nursing

    An employer can fire you for pretty much any reason, unless they are breaking the law or a contract by doing so. I dont think what they did is illegal, even tho it's

  22. How do you feel on displaying your certification credentials on your badge?

    jinct replied to choksantos's topic in General Nursing

    Just my opinion and probably more reflective of the individual and not the act. I know nurses who have the same background. Generally, the more down to earth ones don't list their credentials, i.e. RN...

  23. How do you feel on displaying your certification credentials on your badge?

    jinct replied to choksantos's topic in General Nursing

    I personally choose not to put mine, but others that I work with do. Definitely comes across as having a superiority complex, in my humble and honest opinion, but that's just my opinion so who cares....

  25. Why are so many nurses against unions?

    jinct replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Not really, but maybe if you elaborate you might be able to help us understand why you think it is nonsense. Fact is, unions are on sharp decline and probably would already be a thing of the past if...
