    RenaissanceNurse posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    PREFACE: I'm confident that I'll do just fine for the 24 hours that I'm filling in for, but given that I'm not an epidemiologist or seer, I'd love any real-life advice or tips that might come in...

    RenaissanceNurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    RenaissanceNurse replied to RenaissanceNurse's topic in General Nursing

    OP here. As I posted, more than 2 weeks ago, my suspicions were accurate. The line between healthy boundaries/guardedness and paranoia are razor thin for those of us with C/PTSD...and I have to live...

  7. CMA playing "Nurse Manager?" CMA boundaries? NPD?

    RenaissanceNurse replied to RenaissanceNurse's topic in General Nursing

    And if that's your only input, you sure are nosy, offering unsolicited and unnecessary commentary...for what purpose? I'm asking you -- and your 14 "likes" -- to leave me alone. I fully understand...

  8. Is this a hostile work environment?

    RenaissanceNurse replied to PlS82's topic in General Nursing

  10. CMA playing "Nurse Manager?" CMA boundaries? NPD?

    RenaissanceNurse replied to RenaissanceNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Come to find out, she's not. She was hired to room patients and is now "HBiC." The absence of an actual "Nurse Manager" -- with a college degree, often BSN, these days -- is the

    RenaissanceNurse replied to RenaissanceNurse's topic in General Nursing

    (PREFACE: Quoted stuff is nearly verbatim, other stuff, edited, but essentially what was said/meant. And I trust "CJ"...she's a bit mouthy and brusque, but pulls no punches.) CJ started: "I'm sure as...

    RenaissanceNurse replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sounds like you've been around a lot of nurses, so I'm assuming you've heard the ups-downs-ins-outs, all kinds of stories and scheduling nightmares, so my first thought: it doesn't sound like your...

    RenaissanceNurse replied to Anon143's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
