I just read a super article about the need for more scribes in healthcare and how they are essential for doctors so they can focus on the patient and not on the EHR. (electronic health record). I wanted to nut up! Doctors "have to have" scribes in or...

"In a country that highly values privacy, they didn’t see it as their business." My jaw dropped reading that line in the article. I was raised in Germany in the 50's and 60's. It was that very attitude that closed the German peoples eyes and allowed ...

This is exactly why the belief "nurses eat their young" and "there is too much horizontal bullying" continues in nursing IMO.

I am just relieved that it is finally over for the child. Her body has been put through so much and I pray she is at peace. I am not sure that her mother will ever let it go. She seemed to have vested herself in a "cause" when Jahi was initially pro...

In my opinion no one should want pictures of intimate moments or sensual things of a personal nature made. If you do ever make those kind of pictures - for God's sake don't keep them on a phone that can be lost or stolen. Karma seems to be biting the...

Well I am proud of you. It is h-a-r-d to get through nursing let alone do so while working and keep making A's and B's. You have done a fantastic job and done so on your own. Not many have that determination, stability, let alone confidence. You hav...

Done, would love to see the final thesis. Good luck and make an A.

OMG so YES, been there and done that!!!!!!!

Ummm, what part of the hubby was unresponsive or did she clarify? Sorry.....that was my first thought.

Welcome to AN. A great many of us out here in cyber-land that never had anxiety issues before certainly developed full blown panic attacks that started in nursing school. LOL.

Wow the comments to his articles by his peers are awesome and putting him in his place.

Try this link,I had to click on the cached page. If You Go to the Hospital, Get Ready… | Psychology Today He also has an article comment about his piece being pulled because it struck a raw nerve. Touching a (Very) Raw Nerve | Psychology Today

One noise solution that I use are soft foam earplugs. They block out the noises that seem to keep me awake or wake me during sleep such as the AC cutting on and off or whatever. I am an extremely light sleeper. I would recommend a therapist to get th...

Cola89, I do understand the frustration that you are having. I used to feel that way all the time. I would suggest to you what was told to me. Make things better by working your way through the system and becoming the type of manager you would want t...

I cannot imagine being sick and in pain and having to share a hospital room. Having to share a sick room with someone loud with tons of family or a demented screamer would make me jump off the roof. I would rather just go ahead and die. I am an intro...

SouthernBelle85 I haven't heard any cases to where the flu vaccine has caused harm to anybody, I'm sure it has but can't be a huge percentage. I don't understand why people are so against it on this forum. SouthernBelle85, I am not so sure...

I have to share a recent article on this topic. I have had an opinion that much of the vaccination-mask push is more hype than outright fact. I would appreciate any input from others. I included the link and a few sentences directly from the article....

I am an Army brat raised all over the earth from Alaska to Germany and then to Texas and now in the deep rural south. Atlanta has an International accent. I have practiced nursing for 30 plus years and live life in the deep rural south. I never t...

Okay, let me see if I can word this right and not curse. I remember an old saying growing up that someone was "so poor they didn't have a pot to pi*s in." Never thought it would truly happen tho.

Thank you so much meanmaryjean. Healing balm for the soul. Did you record any of the fountain or the lights? actually any of Vegas while it was peaceful and calm. (I first spelled it clam....LOL)

Um, he may very well have. LMAO. Ms. B**t*h gave her nurse a shift-load of grief on the call bell but can you imagine living what she does at home? The spouse was probably begging for a reason, any reason, to get away from her. I have always dreaded...

I remember doing that!!! and opening the window so the spirit could leave after a death.

I would like to ask the mods that run this site and oversee the function of it to please create a space on here filled will a specific thread on anyone that is ill or going through issues with their health. Even deaths in the family. I care about Esm...

Inserting an NG tube in an alert and oriented patient looking you straight in the eye rather than an unconscious person.

Nurses not being able to chart or say anything that could be seen as a medical diagnoses. So you used words like "seems" or "appears" as in "pt seems to have ceased respiration..." meaning death, but since only doctors could declare a demise you had ...
