New grad BSN moving to Corpus Christi

Nurse SMS replied to Cmbnurse's topic in Texas Nursing

Texas has a LOT of nursing schools churning out new grads every few months. All of the major cities are saturated with new grads and landing a residency in acute care can be extremely difficult,...
What should I do in this situation? (Very afraid)

Nurse SMS replied to LvlupNurse's topic in Nursing Career

I agree with MMJ. If they won't give you measurable specifics, you need to see the writing on the wall. Even with measurable specifics, you may wish to start looking for a different
refusing patients due to medical reasons.

Nurse SMS replied to reallyagain7's topic in General Nursing

Given the widespread community contagion, this really isn't very important anymore. You are as likely to get it in the community as you are caring for a patient with it, known or unknown, at work....
Forced to Return to the Floor

Nurse SMS replied to harumi22's topic in General Nursing

They can report you to the BON for refusing if they want but it holds zero water. You aren't abandoning patient care if you never accepted it in the first place and there is nothing that says you have...

Old patients unsuccessfully clinging to independent living

Nurse SMS replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

Clinical ladder change

Nurse SMS replied to Mini2544's topic in General Nursing

Its pretty common. Since the level of 2, 3, 4 etc have to be earned on an annual basis, they aren't being "dropped" to a lower level and there is no breach of contract. The level criteria changed and...

Trump’s assault on Postal Service and voting is a plot against American democracy

Nurse SMS replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

More gaslighting. I am not "insinuating" anything. I won't argue this with you because you aren't even in the same reality as the rest of us. If you think the US is an even playing field, you are...
Trump’s assault on Postal Service and voting is a plot against American democracy

Nurse SMS replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

I am not "insinuating" anything. These are proven, indisputable facts - something that Trump and his supporters greatly resist being hard and solid, I realize. It's so hard to spin facts, isn't it?...
Working as RN before going on to grad school?

Nurse SMS replied to nursingstudentwannabe's topic in General Students

You will get both opinions here. If you want to be an NP, you will be a better one if you understand the nursing role by actually working in it. You also will have a broader view of whether you really...

Co-Manager Colleague Late to Everything

Nurse SMS replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

I usually agree with you Cali, but this is a lot of conjecture for a big picture that we don't get to see. There are a lot of reasons why this may be going on. It's so much easier when people just...

Nurse SMS replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

You forgot he also screwed the coal miners. I was a registered Republican all my life. A moderate. I left the party when the Tea Party extremism took over. Trump is where it lead them. I honest to...
Being a CNA is so discouraging, I may not want to become a nurse anymore :(

Nurse SMS replied to Emmagesena's topic in General Students

I have worked at some very good places as a nurse and at some very bad ones. Most are somewhere in between the two of those. Even with a good employer, nursing was a beat-down on my body and on my...

COVID-19 "Tylenol Test" T /F?

Nurse SMS replied to T-Wave's topic in Disaster Preparation

This is absolutely false. The truth is that Covid symptoms are known to come and go, with or without Tylenol. Your wife should isolate herself from the rest of the family and get a Covid test. I hope...

Nurse SMS replied to friendlyskies's topic in General Nursing

I would suggest reading Dave Ramsey, who is excellent about advising people how to get out of debt. That your parents did this to you is unforgivable. Is there any chance they can help with the...
