  1. Burn out? I'm pre-nursing

    maybug replied to behealthyitsfun's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    maybug posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    Each day I wake up for another day the same as yesterday I make my coffee and turn on my computer, browsing my emails before anything else. For the last several weeks, there are constantly...

  4. Covid-19: The Guilt of the Work From Home Nurse

    maybug replied to maybug's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You make a great point. I doubt there is any nurse that WANTS to put their lives at risk, and we are fortunate that our roles are not putting us in danger (so to speak). Your last sentence sums it up....

  6. Nursing Is No Longer Worth It

    maybug replied to AnonymousSuper's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I hear you and I am with you. My only hesitation is your obvious love of medicine in general - the same as mine. You also love to teach. The best thing about nursing are the opportunities. Working...

  7. Covid-19: The Guilt of the Work From Home Nurse

    maybug replied to maybug's topic in Disaster Preparation

  12. Covid-19: The Guilt of the Work From Home Nurse

    maybug replied to maybug's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The money also makes it oh so tempting... I have to remind myself I am so blessed that I am not in a position to contract this disease (at least very unlikely compared to working 1:1 with infected...

    maybug replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

  16. Should New Grad Start in Hospice?

    maybug replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I started as a new grad doing home care hospice and excelled. It takes a lot of autonomy because you are essentially alone assessing and providing care. Anytime I had a question or felt uncomfortable...

  17. Research Results are in: To Suction or Not To Suction, End of Life & Hospice Patients

    maybug replied to NickICU-RN's topic in General Nursing

    I worked in an IP hospice unit and we do not suction. I have been taught that suctioning at the end of life makes secretions worse. If anyone has any evidence based practice proving that wrong I would...

    maybug replied to elijahvegas's topic in General Nursing

    I get what you are saying. I've always thought to myself that if I were a patient in the hospital and a nurse tried to give me protonix I would
