2. Is it hard to get a job through Sutter in NorCal?

   uniteddemclub posted a topic in Career Support

   I applied today to work at Sutter Health as a staff nurse/new grad. I read it's hard to get hired into sutter and if that's the case then I have no chance. The only reason I applied was because it said "BSN preferred" in the description and I have a ...

3. Unable how to study for 4 classes, need advice!

   uniteddemclub replied to Guest1204968's topic in General Students

   In nursing school I only really had 2 classes a semester that were very hard to where I focused almost all my studies on those 2. I just studied for whichever one had an exam coming up the soonest.

4. Nurses Living with the Guilt of Providing Mediocre Care

   uniteddemclub replied to Amy Wagoner's topic in General Nursing

   I graduated during the pandemic and there was no ceremony. I didn't have to give any pledge. I sort of half-@as my way through nursing because I'm tired. Even if I'm a bad nurse, I dealt with bad nurses, bad cops, bad social workers, bad foster paren...

5. Discrimination Allegations

   uniteddemclub replied to Irabee's topic in General Nursing

   You were out of line when you requested a male security, implying that she was somehow weaker because of her sex/gender. How do you know that an assumed-to-be cis male security would have denser bone mass, or be bigger, faster and stronger than the a...

7. Nobody rides the bus?! What jobs can I do that don't involve driving?

   uniteddemclub posted a topic in General Nursing

   Is it just where I'm at (California Bay Area), or do 95% of nurses drive to work? I'm honestly blown away with how many 20-25 year olds nurses drive... I've had several people ask me if I live nearby because they see me walking to work when there are...

8. Passed the NCLEX, but I feel like I need to go back to nursing school.

   uniteddemclub replied to Ame_0818's topic in New Nurse

   You've already studied enough if you've been through nursing school and NCLEX. At this point studying more won't do you much good. I didn't learn a thing from nursing school. It isn't just a feeling I have. I know I didn't learn. I'm now a nurse at 2...

9. Schools under fire! Fake Degrees Caught!

   uniteddemclub replied to ASN2016's topic in Headlines

   I'm in no position to judge anyone for obtaining a fake degree. My BSN is legit but I graduated December 2020 in the middle of a pandemic so I spent a whole semester and a half doing clinicals online which was just watching a zoom lecture and doing h...

10. Should I Be Worried On How I Handled Phone Call From State?

    uniteddemclub posted a topic in Career Support

    I've been working in a SNF for a few months. I received a phone call while I was at work from someone who's from the state and she asked to interview a clinician involved in the care of one of my patients. I struggled to answer many of her quest...

11. Is it possible to be a decent nurse if I'm a sociopath or have antisocial personality disorder?

    uniteddemclub replied to uniteddemclub's topic in General Nursing

    I have not actually been diagnosed but was told by an immediate family member that I should have been diagnosed as such. I was told by a patient that I'm such a gentleman and I've given the impression that I'm nice when I'm at work. At the same time ...

12. Is it possible to be a decent nurse if I'm a sociopath or have antisocial personality disorder?

    uniteddemclub posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm a new nurse working at 2 snfs and I have to see signs in some of the offices say things like "Nurses are ordinary people with extraordinary hearts." What if I'm a nurse and I can't help but be cold and uncaring to everyone because of my condition...

14. I’m in trouble with DSD at work and it’s killing me that I could be fired

    uniteddemclub replied to uniteddemclub's topic in New Nurse

    I haven't spoken with the DSD again since the phone call that prompted me to post this topic. She hasn't shown up to work. I heard she tested positive for COVID19 and she's planning to move out of state. No one has mentioned anything to me about the ...

15. Why is the California nurse’s association a leftist organization?

    uniteddemclub posted a topic in Talk Politics

    They supported progressive left Chesa Boudin (former DA of SF who has been recalled) and I saw comments on Twitter claiming Cal Nurses only endorsed him because the drug overdoses keep them working, and every crime victim and drug user will have a jo...
