1. What do hospital nurses want/need?

   RN1987 replied to khillbrt's topic in General Nursing

   This is STILL a topic?? Really? I'm not and will never be one of those who think nursing is a calling. It's a job, a toxic career choice, we aren't the Flo Nightingales, she's dead, times have...

2. Phasing Out ADN?

   RN1987 replied to Candi Williams's topic in General Nursing

   I got more clinical experience in the ADN program. My BSN program was basically writing nonsense

3. Adding Robots to Help Nurses?

   RN1987 replied to Kitiger's topic in General Nursing

   If a robot could be programmed to provide hands on care to demanding, entitled patients who think they are more important than they are, that would be great, because no human wants to go in a room...

4. Abandonment? What exactly is it?

   RN1987 replied to ppfd's topic in Nursing Career

   It seems as though nurses are the ones who tolerate these types of threats and mistreatment. Threaten me with that nonsense, I'll be a no call, no show my next shift and sleep just fine. It actually...

5. Where do you stand on "Nurses don't get paid enough"?

   RN1987 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

   Staff nurses are terribly under paid for all the responsibilities that are dumped upon them. I believe hospitals purposely pay low wages because staff will need to pick up extra shifts just to make a...

6. Nursing Is No Longer Worth It

   RN1987 replied to AnonymousSuper's topic in Disaster Preparation

   I totally agree! From the time my children were little, I told them never choose nursing. They didn't. I now have grandchildren and have told all of them to avoid this ****** job. I wish someone had...

7. I don’t want to work extra!

   RN1987 replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

   I don't feel staffing issues are my problem to deal with. Management gets paid big bucks and bonuses to figure those things out. I just say, "no, I can't work extra." No apologies and no feeling bad...

8. Pity Party - US Hospitals Hit With Nurse Staffing Crisis Amid COVID

   RN1987 replied to JKL33's topic in Disaster Preparation

   I have zero sympathy for hospitals and their staffing problems. They have treated nurses like *** for decades, low pay, mandatory OT, poor benefits, unsafe staffing, the list could go on. I'm over...

9. How many unvaccinated coworkers are you aware of?

   RN1987 replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

   I'm vaccinated by choice. I don't believe any vaccine should be mandatory. I also could care less about whether my coworker is vaccinated or not. What they choose to do or not do is no concern of...

    RN1987 replied to grammieRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I totally agree. I chose to be vaccinated. I should also be free to choose to decline a vaccine. I decline a flu vaccine every year. I mind my own business and do what I choose for myself. I could...

12. Compassion Fatigue - Staying Positive

    RN1987 replied to JeanstarMSN's topic in General Nursing

    I stay positive by only working travel contracts, the money makes it worth the fake I love my career choice attitude. Beyond the pay, there really isn't anything positive about nursing

13. Is it okay to call in sick for your mental health?

    RN1987 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Heck yes! We have to put ourselves first, God knows our employers don't care. They'll work you till you fall over and kick you when you can't get up. No guilt here for mental health

14. How to Stop the Mass Nursing Exodus?

    RN1987 replied to ClaraRedheart's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I doubt that hospitals will hire anymore staff, they can't even pay a decent wage to nurses and it might result in CEOs losing their

15. Second Thoughts on Becoming a Nurse

    RN1987 replied to ThePrudentStudent's topic in General Nursing

    I have been a RN since 87. I wouldn't encourage anyone to be a nurse. The compensation is terrible, lousy hours, on call, poor benefits, managers who think work before family, unsafe patient ratios,...
