  1. Processing the Death of a Patient

    uniteddemclub replied to LaTonya Cawley's topic in General Students

    Finding a patient dead is like when a kid finds their dead

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

    uniteddemclub posted a topic in Nursing Career

    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...

  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

  4. 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...

  5. 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...

  6. 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...

  7. How much sexism is there in nursing?

    uniteddemclub replied to RitzyCinnamonRoll's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. Racism and transphobia are other big issues in the healthcare

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

    uniteddemclub replied to Ame_0818's topic in First Year After Licensure

    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...

  9. Feeling incompetent and out of place as a new nurse, help?

    uniteddemclub posted a topic in California Nursing

    I graduated BSN December 2020 and didn’t pass NCLEX until June this year. I failed 3x because I didn’t retain a lot of info from school and didn’t get serious about studying until almost a year...

  11. Schools under fire! Fake Degrees Caught!

    uniteddemclub replied to ASN2016's topic in Nursing News

    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...

  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...

  13. 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...

  14. What caught your attention in the world today?

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

    uniteddemclub posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    So I got a phone call this evening from the DSD telling me a CNA told her she had given me a stack of sign in papers and she was wanting to know what I did with those papers. I told her I thought they...

  16. 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 First Year After Licensure

    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...

  17. I Have Poor Judgment As A New Nurse - Not Sure How To Improve

    uniteddemclub posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have worked in a SNF for a couple months now and it’s my first job. One of the residents recently complained to me of severe pain in her thigh that was “killing her” as she was sitting up in...

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

    uniteddemclub posted a topic in U.S. Politics's 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,...

  19. Anxiety Makes Me Want to Quit

    uniteddemclub replied to pucatalia's topic in Nursing Career

    You sound very detail oriented and I’m sure you are not in any way responsible for that person’s passing. I work in a snf and there are patients who seem fairly stable one day and are dead the...

  20. Does being addressed as "Nurse" annoy anyone?

    uniteddemclub replied to DoubleblessedRN's topic in General Nursing

    I just feel bad because someone who calls me a nurse will assume I’m compassionate, caring, or empathetic. I’m none of those things. I hate to give people the wrong impression of

  21. Does being addressed as "Nurse" annoy anyone?

    uniteddemclub replied to DoubleblessedRN's topic in General Nursing

    I hate being called a nurse. I prefer RN because the word 'nurse' just feels dirty or not who I am. I was never supposed to be a nurse and I feel almost like I'm an imposter nurse if someone calls me...

  22. Why is there no foreign language requirement for nursing students

    uniteddemclub posted a topic in School, College Programs

    All nursing students, especially those graduating with a BSN, should have to meet some spanish proficiency requirements. I think Spanish would be the most useful in the U.S. because of our growing...
