  1. Worried losing her license

    Accolay replied to Guest1239342's topic in General Nursing

    Why would it seem to seem that? The full thought was "seemingly trivial." As in seems trivial to whoever jacked that zofran. Not to me. I'm not going to put job or license on the line for 3$...

  2. Trump's DERP State

    Accolay replied to toomuchbaloney's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I voted. That's what I did to stop this. That was the only thing within my circle of influence to do. Trump is the smoke and mirrors of single issue voters and social issues to get us peons to...

  3. Worried losing her license

    Accolay replied to Guest1239342's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, probably depends on how that BON views ethics violations for RNs in this particular state. Zofran isn't controlled, but it was theft. Businesses, at least, tend to look down on that. Never...

  4. Help me to decide between this two job offers

    Accolay replied to Rhonda Johnson's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if that's true, but it sure sounds good. There's nothing wrong with taking a break from hard stuff for a while, but it sounds like you just did that. Why not buckle down and do the...

  5. Health Insurance in America

    Accolay replied to Emergent's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think medical insurance sucks. I think the stories of people who have to ration their insulin sucks- especially since it costs pennies per dose. I hope that Martin Shkreli and those like him find a...

  6. Is Mayo Clinic worth it?

    Accolay replied to 247nurse365's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Well... I'm late to the party on this. I hope your decision went well. For anyone else: All I know of the working establishment is hearsay from other RNs who have worked there: it's easy and...

  7. Nurse Notes not required

    Accolay replied to 1step At a time's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    The new company is saying that nurse notes aren't required or aren't necessary? As in you could write a note but you don't have to or you shouldn't write a note? Nursing notes aren't important...

  8. AI in nursing

    Accolay replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I do remember that movie. I also remember The Terminator. Neither ended up well for the humans. I think AI will start to dictate some if not most of the physician plan with the insurance...

  9. The Working Poor-Nurses

    Accolay replied to TeaCea's topic in General Nursing

    I have so many questions/thoughts: What part of the country does this nurse work? Does she work full time as in 40 hours per week? How long has she been working as a nurse? Where...

  10. Working at the same clinic as your doctor?

    Accolay replied to TiredRN604's topic in Nursing Career

    I don't think this is unethical. If you are able to keep work and personal stuff separate then you'll be

  11. Need A Change In Career… Having A Nursing Career Crisis. Where to next?

    Accolay replied to Cieritaqt's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm right there with you. I'm trying to figure out if I should stay or if I should go. I don't see a lot of good on the horizon for nursing in general or where I work. My department used to have...

  12. Unions - Yay or Nay?

    Accolay replied to Kiwi82's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I'm biased- I work in a hospital represented by a union and have for the entirety of my nursing career. We have a strong union. My comment here is going to sound like I'm trying to recruit you. I'm...

  13. Disrespect & Profanity

    Accolay replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I usually address MDs by Dr. Surname until they correct me because you can't go wrong and no need for a conversation with everyone about what they want to be called. Generally, I use profanity...

  14. What will be your New Year resolution?

    Accolay replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    I don't make new year's resolutions. If you want change, do it now- don't wait until the arbitrary date of January

  15. Covid-19: Going Back to Normal?

    Accolay posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    I know I'm jumping the gun here, but who's looking forward to having all visitor restrictions lifted, visiting hours gone, hoards of visitors back? Our patient satisfaction scores are way up,...

  16. Should I quit my program?

    Accolay replied to cj_94's topic in General Nursing

    Short answer:

  17. Been away... Did I Miss Anything?

    Accolay posted a topic in General Nursing

    Just a little under the weather (No Covid) and bored so I thought I'd see what's going down on AllNurses in 2021. Anything happen in 2020? Turns out I'm an "Adventurer" and interacting with me is...

  18. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    Accolay replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Long term health effects of the covid vaccination should be the least of your worries if you're a lover of true freedom.... the main issue is really about how many microchips Bill Gates put in it and...

  20. New Grad: I Feel Stupid

    Accolay replied to newnursemoon's topic in General Nursing

    Dude... you've only been doing this for 5 weeks. Give yourself a real chance. You are going to make mistakes. No sugar coating here: this will be hard. Give yourself at least 12 months before you burn...

  21. Any advice for a new grad trying to stay afloat?

    Accolay replied to Rainbow_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Just breathe, man. Everything is normal. Everyone has been exactly where you are right now. Your BSN isn't lifelong- you will eventually finish. Eat that less-than-ideal-score because what you've now...

  22. Profanity in the workplace

    Accolay replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Expressing an oath towards a situation isn't a big deal to me, especially considering I grew up in the Navy. Swearing directed at people is where I draw the line. After all, you might be "happier,...

  23. How Much Junk do you Keep?

    Accolay posted a topic in General Nursing

    A question for non-hoarders please :) I've been sorting through stuff and reevaluating my relationship to things this year. I've gotten rid of a lot of stuff. Right now I'm going through a lot of old...

  24. Nurse Gives Lethal Dose of Vecuronium Instead of Versed

    Accolay replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    What a horrible way to die. I don't want to fully blame the nurse, since there were many things that should have been in place to stop this accident from happening... but man... if you don't know the...

  25. Would you call in sick?

    Accolay replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in General Nursing

    If my math is correct, and only assuming the easy 50 minute commute and working a .6/8day per month schedule, that's still over 13 hours of driving per month. 32 hours and more of driving assuming...
