Welcome to Nursing.

It is to my knowledge that legislation has been passed that would require all New York registered nurses who were licensed after 2017 to obtain their BSN within 10 years (by 2027). From a past email, involving BS in TEN, the New York State Chapter of...

Maybe moving forward in union contracts there should be a pandemic clause so that nurses are treated more fairly. These are healthy discussions we must have in order to progress the Profession.

I also want to admonish everyone at this moment, we need to stick together like physicians stick together. I applaud registry/travel nurses who decide to leave their home state or the comfort of doing the bare minimum hours to come out and help full...

Feel free to stop offering (ordering) suggestions. Lets see how that goes.

This forum does not give you authority to order. I Will speak out against whatever I desire to speak out against. Save those orders for your work environment in which you have those privileges.

Okay, well where's some of this magical bail out money that seems to come when corporations are failing? Who is fighting for the bedside individuals who are putting themselves at risk? You guys people have died from this virus.

With all due respect, some of us were willing to take those risks because we knew that there would be some type of minimum protective equipment provided in order to safely do our jobs. I've come across some old school nurses that practiced when ther...

I'm pretty sure we'd all rather PPE than extra money but in the mean time bc some facilities are going without enough PPE, can we get hazard pay? This way of thought is why nurses don't have better pay and working conditions in my eyes. We are consid...

I will be sure to follow that order. MSN,APRN,NP But I don't expect a pat on the back and I'm pretty sure a lot of us dont have that expectation because if many of us did have that expectation we would no longer be registered nurses without the MSN,A...

This is a warning sign to potential issues later in the relationship. His concerns doesn’t lack merit but what if you were his wife? What if you guys had kids? Could it be that he’s looking for a reason to spend time away from u? Is there a trust...

Can the robots clean these patients? and/or document accurate I&o's? Or lift bariatric patients?

that's horrible pay! It should be at least $37 an hour starting.

Is the future of ER Nursing constantly obtaining i-stats? If so, it was fun while it lasted but I'm out this specialty in about two years. Getting i-stats to me is so time consuming. Why not just hire enough lab techs so that when we get the blood ...

This sounds very credible. Very interesting. Sounds like you did a lot of "Research" on the subject matter. And I never stated that running POC tests is the reason for many nurses leaving the bedside. An avg iq could comprehend that I'm not advocati...

Congratulations! It's great that you all have the "resources" as well as the reinforced & proactive education to improve patient outcomes in regards to sepsis management. As you know, the ability to recognize possible sepsis goes past having an i...

How can anyone be against better patient outcomes? Please add on additional sentences in a cohesive manner with sources to back it up and submit a paper to the appropriate authorities/management/law makers so that we can finally have nation wide mand...

Thank You!!! and the reason why everything is pushed on the nurses is because we do not stick together and we are highly efficient.

if the limiting amount is equipment, get lab more equipment. Problem solved. Let lab do it.

Not all i-stats take 2 minutes long to complete. And supposedly it's not as accurate so the same testing must be done in lab anyway. I prefer to collect tubes and send it off and let lab do it. And I even feel the same regarding urine dips. . In so...

this is why some people prefer to become a PA instead of a NP. Anything with the word Nurse in it's job title complicates things.

EXACTLY!!!!! X 10,000%

Assignment despite objection form shouldn't even exist. I'bet those forms are in paper. Management can throw that document in the trash as soon as you turn it in. If one must follow that protocol, you should be able to submit those forms directly to...

Most times when you try to defend someone who is being picked on, the bully then tries to target you. Unfortunately, it was better for them that they stay out of it because that meant she left them alone. I'm the type that if I see someone constan...

I've recently been in verbally abusive situations in which there wasn't support from charge nurse nor house supervisor. The common theme was to allow the patient to vent and to have a poker face throughout the entire ordeal with the hopes that the p...
