  1. Has anyone left nursing job due to COVID19 virus?

    morningland replied to Tirednurseandmomma14's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I am staying and working through this but let me say this: I genuinely thank you who are taking a stand and quitting. It is a fact that our hospital systems do not care about the well being of us, our...

  2. What is it like in your hospital right now?

    morningland replied to FloatFNP-C's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I’m in Phoenix. It has been very very slow all over the valley with low census’. Before this I was racking up mad amounts of overtime, now people are being called off for low census. We will see...

    morningland posted a topic in Travel

    I've been a nurse for three years, having half peds and half med surg. I'm ready start travel nursing but I'm wondering how you go about brushing up on information that you are unclear on while on...

    Hey, I'm looking for a flashcard app for my iPhone that will let me type them up on a computer and the cards will sync to my app. Does anyone know of such an app. There are a ton of good flashcard...

  5. Poor Judgment, Didn't notice Compartment?

    morningland replied to morningland's topic in General Nursing

    I was relieved to come into work and find out the patient was totally fun and didn't have compartment. Even an though it was a horrible feeling, I'm glad I had this experience. It helps to make...

  6. Poor Judgment, Didn't notice Compartment?

    morningland posted a topic in General Nursing

    I feel very awful. A patient arrived from OR with an ORIF of the L forearm. Patient was fine and I even educated him on compartment syndrome (which what makes this so troubling). He was complaining...

  7. Poor Judgment, Didn't notice Compartment?

    morningland replied to morningland's topic in General Nursing

    But when you think about it, the pain really does make sense to be the true hallmark of compartment. If a patient is in pain simply because of the surgery, the medication should help reduce that...

  8. Poor Judgment, Didn't notice Compartment?

    morningland replied to morningland's topic in General Nursing

    That does. If we can learn from these errors we all become stronger nurses. Since I've been home, I've been re-studying compartment syndrome and I am feeling a little more reassured that I didn't...

  9. Poor Judgment, Didn't notice Compartment?

    morningland replied to morningland's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks so much everyone. I was taught that one of the hallmark signs of compartment is uncontrollable pain. By the time the doctor was called, I had already weaned him off the Dilaudid and we were on...

  10. Poor Judgment, Didn't notice Compartment?

    morningland replied to morningland's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks so much. I really appreciate it. I don't think I mentioned the patien arrived At 2100 but I didn't call the doc until 0600. Again , I didn't see any other symptoms and finally called because...

    morningland posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've five years experience as a med/surg RN with 1.5 years in PEDs. It's looking like my GF has to move to SF for work. How is the Nursing market there? I thinking it may be worth it to try and...

    morningland replied to morningland's topic in General Nursing

    I do have my BSN (REALLY thankful I went back to school), I have five years experience and I am med/surg certified. My GF's work is paying for all of our moviong costs including the cost of a rental...

    morningland replied to morningland's topic in General Nursing

    I want to live and work in the City of San

  14. Traveling without a tax home

    morningland replied to B_OTT's topic in Travel

    Do not take this as advice, ALWAYS SPEAK WITH A TAX PROFESSIONAL. But, as it was explained to by a travel nurse tax company, one work around is to have mail delivered to a location and simply pay...

  15. Screaming match with my preceptor

    morningland replied to jherd's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The correct response to this scenario was to resign. If you weren't fired already for yelling at your preceptor, consider yourself lucky and take that change to get out intact by resigning. Then at...

  16. How do you deal with a toxic workplace?

    morningland replied to LPN9200's topic in General Nursing

    There's nothing to can do to change a toxic work place. The only thing you can do is leave, so long as it doesn't damage your own job viability. I was once in a toxic HOSPITAL and I started to...

  17. How to cope with poor memory

    morningland posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm a floor nurse on a busy med/surg ortho floor. Been doing it for four years and I love it... more or less. My memory has never been great, but over the last year it is deteriorated to the point...

  18. Should Nurses Wear Back Support???

    morningland replied to boisern84's topic in General Nursing

    I swear by my back brace. I have a bad back just from poor posture. When I don't wear a back brace at work, I walk home with an aching back. So that's enough evidence to show me it offers support...

  19. Strike nursing

    morningland replied to trulefty's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    True, but the patients on the other side of the picket line are humans with healthcare needs. People aren't crossing a picket line aren't building cars or delivering mail, they are providing life...

  20. Strike nursing

    morningland replied to trulefty's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Ya know. You are right. I shouldn't have generalized so much. not all nurses are cold and cruel. However, in my experience it seems to be more common. To be fair though, this coldness exists in all...

  21. Strike nursing

    morningland replied to trulefty's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    But you are highlighting the point I am making. I am expressing my experiences with the field, which are mine alone and your response is that I am too stupid to interpret what happens around me, I...

  22. Strike nursing

    morningland replied to trulefty's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Well, nurses are so cruel and backstabbing that we have a saying "nurses eat their young". Now we expect loyalty among each other? Life doesn't work like that. Some me of the worst people I know are...

  23. Strike nursing

    morningland replied to trulefty's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    No, but you can have enough humility to realize where you

  24. Refresher course for personal reasons

    morningland replied to morningland's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, refresher courses seem to be more for people who have been out of practice for a long

  25. Refresher course for personal reasons

    morningland posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've been a practicing nurse for three years, but I still don't feel like I "know a lot". Nursing school was a blur, I just can't learn as quick as what was expected of me. Anyways, I want to take a...
