  7. Ageism in Nursing?

  8. Ageism in Nursing?

    Guest1176712 replied to Guest1176712's topic in General Nursing

    Approximately 1/3 of new nurses leaving nursing after the first 2-3 years. That's a lot. I think in order to retain these nurses, we need to look at the expectations of the job. Most cite burnout. So...

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

    Guest1176712 replied to JKL33's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Unions aren't making money off of the hourly wages of nurses. They work to change policies for the long haul. Travel is temporary. How much is the travel company charging the hospital? I'm sure it's a...

    Guest1176712 replied to Guest1176712's topic in General Nursing

    YaY! Good to hear you are doing well! Yea, I kinda didn't word right. about hiring and ageism. I just meant that the overall hosp environment is high paced and some populations of older nurses may be...

  12. Ageism in Nursing?

    Guest1176712 replied to Guest1176712's topic in General Nursing

    Guest1176712 replied to poppyboo's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Maybe passed on to the next life or realm? The body dies but the spirit passes. I like to read about Near Death Experiences. To me, they are comforting. I read them on nderf.org and iands.org from...

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

    Guest1176712 replied to JKL33's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That's how I feel. Even if the pay is awesomely high, the mental and physical stress and aggravation is too toxic. Higher pay alone doesn't solve the problem. Pay is easy to adjust lower with...

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

    Guest1176712 replied to JKL33's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Guest1176712 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I was thinking that if their employees get sick and don't show up or have to leave because of the end of the moratorium or job hopping, it might make a dent. But your right... this will prob happen to...

  20. Nurses are Fleeing the Hospital

    Guest1176712 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    This is so awesome!! To have NNU take a stand on these reasons for the nursing shortage is very powerful. It so refreshing to have an article from such a powerful group that isn't trying to gaslight...

  22. Nurses are Fleeing the Hospital

    Guest1176712 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

  24. Anxiety over making mistakes?

    Guest1176712 replied to pecantreechipmunk's topic in General Nursing
