    Oklahoma Hospital Shooting

    klone replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Baloney. This isn't because of the "war on opiates". This was an unhinged *** who was able to buy an assault rifle. Do not blame anyone but the person who did it. And maybe the NRA for buying the...

    klone replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I've never worked anywhere that required 2 nurses to pull narcotics or override medications. I've worked at (counts on fingers)...9 different hospitals, in 5 different states. Can you imagine the...

    How soon to start my first job after graduation?

    klone replied to birthworker's topic in General Nursing

    This may be just me, but I never thought it necessary to spend too much time studying after graduation. Maybe 30-60 minutes a day reading through the NCLEX practice test books, which you can easily do...

    RaDonda Vaught - What is she doing now?

    klone replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    And how the system forced her to push a med and immediately walk away without even assessing the patient's response, going against everything we've ever been taught in nursing

    RaDonda Vaught - What is she doing now?

    klone replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Um, no. If you are as careless as she is, then you should have your license taken away also. Once again - people ***ing rallying around her based on her side of the story, without having actually...

    RaDonda Vaught - What is she doing now?

    klone replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    As someone who lives in this community where it took place, I can tell you with assurance that systemic racism goes VERY DEEP in the community here, particularly in LE. So yeah, I would say 100% there...

    klone replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    I personally got nada. Since I'm the nurse leader at our clinic, I typically don't get recognized. I gave each of the nurses at my clinic a small potted zinnia that I grew from seed. Our organization...

    Remote nurse working while in another state?

    klone replied to RNgemini's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not 100% positive, but I don't think it matters where the NURSE is - it matters where the company is, and/or where the patients are. I work for a large health network based out of MN, but we have...

    klone replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, guys. That is helpful. Thinking about going into leadership outside OB/women's health, and wasn't sure if that was just a crazy idea. I did want to address this: This is one of the...

    Giving Up a Patient’s Care to Another Nurse

    klone replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    In case you didn't get it - Davey is being very tongue in cheek. I think he's pointing out your martyr complex and the fact that you seem to think you are the only one who can provide adequate care to...
