   Not to derail, but--what?!? What is this device that can thermally scan for hidden skin breakdown?

   The Collapsing Healthcare System in the US

   LibraSunCNM replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

   Thus far those do seem to be the main arguments against a system like that, spurred on by an excellent system of fear-mongering propaganda from the right wing.

   Any advice for anxious and socially awkward new nurses?

   LibraSunCNM replied to Sweetme2's topic in General Nursing

   I agree with BTDT, everything you're describing is super normal for a new nurse, particularly on a unit as complex as cardiac/tele. I doubt your preceptor is trying to get rid of you! Don't be so hard on yourself. It takes a good year or two to fe...

   The Collapsing Healthcare System in the US

   LibraSunCNM replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

   This was in the NY Times this morning. I agree with a lot of his takes, while recognizing there is no perfect system anywhere and overhauling the U.S. system in particular would be monumental, if not impossible: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/...

   In today's episode of "weird s*** that happens in health care"...Jeez. That is not OK.

   Tell me about your Rapid Response Team

   LibraSunCNM replied to Elizabeth Stricker's topic in General Nursing

   I haven't worked bedside in a hospital for a long time, but the hospital where I last worked was a large teaching hospital and did have a rapid response team (although they called it the "medical response team" because they had to be different about ...

   Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

   LibraSunCNM replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   An inability to take accountability or ever admit you're wrong? That's my best guess at this point. What a miserable way to go through life.

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    I'm curious what about RaDonda's actions since this tragedy make you think she is "teachable?"

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    LibraSunCNM replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    This is something I would be truly interested to hear--her former coworkers' thoughts and impressions of her as a nurse. I also agree this was unlikely a one-off, but I wonder if she previously sort of skated by without doing anything life-threateni...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    LibraSunCNM replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I think this perfectly sums up the merry-go-round that this discussion always becomes. Many nurses want to use this case an an example of something that it is simply not. Are nurses overworked, understaffed, mistreated? Yes. Was that why this nur...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    LibraSunCNM replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Of course. Which leads me to believe she's just doing this to prove a point, which further cements my belief that she is not in touch with reality, on many levels. Or maybe she wants to start doing the guest speaker circuit, who knows.

    Agreed. I think her actions throughout this tragedy speak volumes about her personality and general mental stability .
