    Medication Safety in the Childcare Setting

    NO JOKES OR PUNS ALLOWED replied to Diane Covel's topic in General Nursing

    I realize I'm officially "old" as a mom of a school aged kid and forgot about safety beyond telling the kid not to get into something. At our school, medication is administered by the nurse, whom...

    What is something you wish patients, families and/or your coworkers knew about you?

    I cannot accept tips for nursing, but yes, this suitcase *is* full of merch from my comedy show, and yes, patients and their families get a

    When You Realize You Are Replaceable

    NO JOKES OR PUNS ALLOWED replied to Guest1189140's topic in Nursing Career

    It's easy to feel defeated and say, "I'm replaceable." Ever play old school D&D? Highly dangerous and adventurers die very easily. Per definition, adventurers are very replaceable. That...

    Healthcare Workers Still Love Their Jobs

    NO JOKES OR PUNS ALLOWED replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Calm down and get back to me after you work in rural China. Those nurses are underpaid, overworked, and underappreciated. And they're smart as hell, talented, and compassionate. And guess what?...

    What do you look for in housing?

    NO JOKES OR PUNS ALLOWED replied to MAT Nurse in NC's topic in Travel

    This is such a good thread. I can't believe it got missed. I've done a decent amount of travel and I've stayed in great places... And I've also rented a room in a crack house. Learn from my...

    Healthcare Workers Still Love Their Jobs

    NO JOKES OR PUNS ALLOWED replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Disaster Preparation

    As opposed to those communist regimes where nurses are even more underpaid and overworked. You're going to pay a price for every little thing you do and everything you don't do. You don't get to...

    Question About Typical Weekly Schedule For Travelers

    NO JOKES OR PUNS ALLOWED replied to NightNerd's topic in Travel

    I think the state of the subway in NYC at the moment may trump it. I love the subway when I'm traveling alone, but even I'm laying off for

    Do you ever blame yourself for things that you had no control of, or wasn't your fault?

    NO JOKES OR PUNS ALLOWED replied to Adele Hart's topic in Travel

    Was it a relatively new company? There's some weird document farming that goes on with "new travel nurse companies" that open and close overnight. It happened to me once. A good way to figure...

    NO JOKES OR PUNS ALLOWED replied to bremon's topic in Travel

    I have not, but if they're foolish enough to treat their travelers like they're trying out for the Green Berets, that would be a hilarious waste of time and money. Ask your agency. I've never heard...

    Question About Typical Weekly Schedule For Travelers

    NO JOKES OR PUNS ALLOWED replied to NightNerd's topic in Travel

    I don't. Given my second career, I stick mainly to major metropolitan areas and use public transport. As @NedRN mentioned, bikes are great and I've found them easy to rent in NYC and Albany. I also...

    Question About Typical Weekly Schedule For Travelers

    NO JOKES OR PUNS ALLOWED replied to NightNerd's topic in Travel

    It depends on the hospital. Some don't care if you have to take your elderly mother to dialysis every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Not their problem to make your life easier when they're in...

    NO JOKES OR PUNS ALLOWED replied to LonghornChic's topic in Critical Care

    You're doing a fine job. With a lot of years behind me, I'd probably look to ditch the Precedex and up the Fentanyl, and maybe ask for a push or two until the fever and secretions get sorted...

    Quitting My Job: Returning My ID Badge- Should I be Petty?

    NO JOKES OR PUNS ALLOWED replied to sideshowstarlet's topic in General Nursing

    NE is a great place and I love Boston. I love going up there to clear my head during travel stints in NY - NYC is like a second home, but it wears on you. I get why in sensitive types of nursing...

    You signed the contract, from what you've described. For non-travelers reading this thread, you usually get about 24 hours from the offer to sign or decline. He's either signed it or said no at this...

    NO JOKES OR PUNS ALLOWED replied to freenclear's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Absolutely consult with an attorney. On a typical background report, an arrest record will be included. It's my understanding that a conviction cannot be expunged in WA, but an arrest record...

    NO JOKES OR PUNS ALLOWED replied to sideshowstarlet's topic in General Nursing

    I think COVID just really made a lot of people (myself included) tire of putting on a facade. Another reason returning the badge is utter nonsense: Why should you continue to expose others to COVID...

    I always keep my badges from traveling, like serial killer trophies. They probably won't show up to serve the warrant quite yet!
