A Kaiser Hospital in Antioch, CA presented these ROCKS to their nurses for Nurse's Week. I found this on Bonnie Castillo's fb page today. Bonnie Castillo, RN, is Executive Director of National Nurses United (NNU), California Nurses Association...

I have to get ready to go for now, but I will send an email. Can't wait to chat!

Absolutely poorly designed. If one has a 2 patient assignment, there can be multiple rooms between them. Even if the assignment is two rooms next to each other there are no windows in-between rooms. So if a nurse gets caught up in one room, it is...

I love this topic. Reminds me of a couple of books: Patricia Benner's, From Novice to Expert (1982) Patricia Benner, Patricia Hooper-Kyriakidis and Daphne Stannard, Clinical Wisdom and Interventions in Acute and Critical Care, A Thin...

We might know each other. North Nurses are the cream of the crop. My daughter works there now. ?

When did Nursing become a focus on how new nurses feel? Seriously? When I was a new grad, I learned from one of the very first...ever, flight nurses in the US. I learned from nurses who were present in the CVICU during the very first....ever h...

Yep. Shame on me. At this point I really have no sympathy or concern for anybody but the patients that have to endure this kind of environment. If I knew the name of this place where SB works, I would report it to every entity that monitors L...

I wonder if this is still in effect? I can't find anything at TBN that says it's not. https://www.BON.texas.gov/FastTrackOutofStateLicensing.asp If you can get there, maybe then you can fingerprint there?

Sorry, that's terrible advice.

Wow! I was able to easily make an appt for livescan at my local sheriff's office. But that's for a CA license renewal. It's crazy that TX will only accept a fingerprint card from law enforcement. Have you tried calling and talking with someone at...

THIS is being honest with yourself. It has to start with that. I think this is the most real thing I've ever read from you SilverBells. Don't stuff this feeling. Do something about it. I know you can do it.

We ALL have biases whether we want to acknowledge or even know about them or not. It's not good or bad or right or wrong. Take the damn test and learn about yourselves. I am so sick of this thread. The ex-cop was found guilty on ...

I too would not medicate an individual who I can objectively assess isn't uncomfortable.....bp good, rr good and unlabored, no grimacing when touched or nudged, not agitated or restless, etc etc. Your assessment is your assessment. Be confident wit...

Oh! And let's not forget: St. Elsewhere 1982-1988: St. Elsewhere was set at the fictional St. Eligius Hospital, a decaying urban teaching hospital in Boston's South End neighborhood. The hospital's nickname, "St. Elsewhere", is a slang term u...

What a great collection. Thanks so much! This list made me think of a documentary that was done in 1989 named, "Near Death." It was directed by the well-known documentarian, Frederick Wiseman. The documentary was shown in multiple o...

I just want to wish you the best. Spouses of members of military should have protections. You don't deserve to be chided (especially by some here) because your husband got deployed!! Wishing you all the best. It sounds like you have some MAJ...

I mean......is it mounted on a base, like a trophy or some such nonsense? Why the heck are these places choosing rocks?? I mean bronze a flippin' stethoscope or something. Not quite as bad? DITCH the trophys. C'mon!! Give us status, pay, staffi...

I went from a permanent, fully benefitted position to per diem and I kept my exact same health insurance through COBRA. If you have health insurance, dental, vision, etc through your current employer, they are required under federal law to offer you...

This is really nice. ?‍♀️ http://sponsored.bostonglobe.com/studiob/salute-to-nurses-2021/

OK then. I feel like an idiot. What do I know. Just lived through the Civil Rights Movement, the Women's Movement and the Vietnam War. This makes me super sad. I will stand by my words when I say, BLACK LIVES MATTER. Talk over all these years h...

And especially for you DesiDani, I am SORRY. SORRY you have to read this bunch of hate. I am just flabbergasted by what I read in this thread. NO ONE should speak to anyone the way you are spoken to. I HEAR YOU. I SEE YOU. I LOVE YOU. YOU MATT...

Why is this thing still going. It's sucking the life out of this forum. One thing we can do to stop the vitriol coming from voices of hate is DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Shut this down PLEASE. This is not a matter of one speaking their first amend...

Thank you for trying to help heal the helpers. ❤️

SO COOL! My daughter, who is a CVICU RN in a world renowned academic hospital in our area (my old stomping grounds) and who has managed covid patients since the beginning (ecmo, transplants, patients who didn't make it, patients who did against ...

Spotted tonight by my daughter (who is also a nurse) at a local airport . ? Respect for flight attendants! ✈️ ?
