    Hope for bullying?

    CShel posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am an older nursing student and much of my class is between 19-24 years old. I know from my own kids (15 and 20) that they are MUCH more sensitive about recognizing and stopping bullying behavior...

    NPI needed for discounts?

    CShel posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am trying to get the Verizon discount for nurses but you have to have an NPI number to be verified by ID.me. I am a new grad and just went through orientation at my hospital, and I've never even...

    I am a nursing student in FL getting ready to take the NCLEX and my husband is a retired physician. We were discussing the Good Samaritan law and somehow got onto the topic of applying tourniquets....

    Hope for bullying?

    CShel replied to CShel's topic in General Nursing

    I said "put a stop to it when we see it" You said we should not "sit by and watch bullying" How is what I said "coddling" and what you said is not? Of COURSE people should learn to...

    Hope for bullying?

    CShel replied to CShel's topic in General Nursing

    I am not a bullying target, really, because I am older, not shy, a people person and (thanks to my ex-husband) really good at peaceable conflict resolution. On my last clinical rotation, a nurse came...

    Quitting Before My Four Weeks Notice

    CShel replied to TryingtoThriveRN's topic in General Nursing

    I was going to come here to say this. It is perfectly legit to call out because going to work is unhealthy for you - mentally or physically. If you are miserable, stressed and anxious at work, that's...

    Santa Fe College ADN Fall 2021

    CShel replied to KMART's topic in School, College Programs

    It wasn't on the application itself? That's very strange, because as far as I know it definitely does count. If I were you I'd just call and ask - the staff and faculty are super nice. The ph# is...

    Using Your Nursing Credentials to Validate Anti-Vaxxer Theories

    CShel replied to Helen Crump's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I didn't actually know this, so I looked it up. Given that the federal government has stated that employers can mandate the Covid vaccine, it AMAZES me that there are hospitals that don't do it. It's...

    Using Your Nursing Credentials to Validate Anti-Vaxxer Theories

    CShel replied to Helen Crump's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Absolutely true - but not really my point. Some people have been using the fact that it wasn't approved as the basis for their argument against vaccination. Now that it IS approved, I just wonder if...

    Using Your Nursing Credentials to Validate Anti-Vaxxer Theories

    That is such a great and important point - stay in your lane. I also agree that there should be consequences. If the ANA can discipline you or remove your license for "conduct unbecoming" like...

    Mean girls in Pre-Req / Nursing School, how do you deal with them?

    CShel replied to TheNursingdoll's topic in General Students

    If you let them get to you, they win. DON'T LET THEM WIN. When I look at mean girls, I think about how pathetic, empty and meaningless their lives must be if this is how they entertain...

    There are so many posts about how awful nursing is, how it's ruining lives, how people drink to cope with it, etc. I have never seen a single blog post, article, or nursing meme that says nursing is...
