I'd Like To Tell You A Story I've been a member of Allnurses for nearly a decade. It's a little surreal to contemplate that amount of time but I vividly recall writing posts in the pre-nursing students section pleading for help in Anatomy and Phy...

Truth. 100%. We don't get ceremonies. We get pizza parties. Raise your bread stick in honoring Nancy...

I'm a guy. I'm in the 10% of nursing. I'm a guy.

This. Time to move on. You need a partner that accepts and adapts to you. They must accept the harsh reality that your job is dangerous and inadvertently increases their risk. I know they are out there. My wife and I are both nurses. We both "get it....

You health trumps your profession. Find a nursing gig that's safer. Try outpatient ambulatory nursing for instance.

To me, it was zero benefit EXCEPT resume material. I pay the 100/year and I get to put it on my resume. It's a worthy investment to stick out amongst the piles of resumes that don't have it. Yeah, the organization will you tell you "become more" "bec...

Under normal circumstance, pre-covid, you have to change the language in which you search. Try "ambulatory nurse jobs" rather than "primary care nurse jobs" then narrow your search down and find primary care clinics that are posting. You be hard pres...

This nurse lacks confidence and/or points to lack of experience if they need to "research" their assignment for 45 minutes. I used to do this as a newb nurse. This is how it should go: Be punctual. Show up 10-15 minutes early. Poop. Pee. Snack. Obta...

You don't need to divulge the type of patients you're taking care of. I can't...quite...remember... What's that thing? HI.. HIP...HIPOH? HIPPITY?! AH...HIPAA You're a nurse and leave it at that or be extremely vague. No one is entitled to know what ...

She needs to find a person that adapts to her. Not the other way around. If she's obsessed with work, great. That's her choice and her significant other needs to respect that from day one. She should be VERY frank about that on the first date. First ...

You're going to get even more creative in the roles you're applying to. Remote nursing jobs, telehealth, telephone triage, per diem roles, travel nursing, travel a few hours away, or pick a non-nursing side gig. Start an online business. So many opti...

I'm a dude. I don't care either way. I care about skills, knowledge, and approachability (all of which can happen whether a person has a penis or a vagina).

Nurses are expendable. Travel nurses are extremely expendable and let go for the most petty crap imaginable. Traveling right now pays BIG TIME. Some places >6K per week. Keep trying to find an assignment. You've hit an unlucky streak. People lack ...

Don't do it. Wait until you find a pharmacist job.

This is easy to make a snap judgement about. This deserves a root cause analysis.

I remember when this hit the headlines. Then Covid...

I think it should be open to nurses to apply but not a requirement. Leadership positions are different. Having nursing experience would be helpful but not necessary. There is other valuable experience besides nursing. I see non-clinical, non-nursing ...

If it's in their room, and completely away from areas where care of other residents is held, let them have it. It's their home. They pay good money to have that room. Where are we NOT on a camera these days?

A wasted effort. 5 days isn't near long enough to make a difference. This will get short lived headlines and cost the system millions in travel contracts. Hospitals are too powerful and too wealthy and can resist to pay the true worth of nurses and p...

1. Freedom of speech in public places. But, use your judgement. We're all accountable for our mouth and even the future unintended consequence of using it we didn't foresee. 2. You have less freedom of speech in your workplace. Policies and such. 3. ...

1. Loss of license indefinitely. Yes, obviously. 2. Jail time. Yes, obviously. Any nurse that lacks the moral compass to tell them how wrong this truly is deserves both of aforementioned punishments.

No surprise here. Just like any skill. If you don't use it, you lose it. Yes, we all should be competent at taking a blood pressure. It's not personal. Nothing wrong with revisiting the basics.

This is a misconception of management and leadership. Bonuses are not a common occurrence in mid level management. For example, the supervisor (like myself) and the manager but directors and above can receive these items. And, your perception of mana...

The question shouldn't be IF robots can do these tasks but WHEN robots can do these tasks. Seems like an inconceivable fantasy now. Soon enough.

From the article: "“That doctors and nurses don't hear African American women's medical issues the same way that they hear the same things from white women.” Apparently Elizabeth would like awaken the hell fire and brimstone that resides deep within ...
