1. Covid travel contract - recruiter problems

   guest449786 replied to alwaysnforever's topic in COVID

   During the best of times recruiters are difficult to interact with. Your experience has been standard operating procedure for me. There are a ton of agencies out there and my advice is to not put all your eggs in one basket. They play a lot of games ...

2. COVID-19 and extinction of human species

   guest449786 replied to DannyBoy8's topic in COVID

   Very interesting thoughts and opinions. You want humanity to be wiped out because of past events? Your fatalistic fantasy is rather morbid and hopeless. Nurses have one of the highest rates of depression and are experiencing extreme stress and PTSD d...

3. To be a coward, or to be a fool?

   guest449786 replied to MsJenn_The_RN's topic in COVID

   When was the last pandemic? I couldn't disagree with you more. It's like asking a police officer to work in a high crime area without their gun, radio, ballistics vest, ASP, OC spray, or backup.

4. I took a travel assignment to help out, but what happens after?

   guest449786 replied to Nickc58's topic in COVID

   It's not going to end in May. But, if they don't "need" you in NYC, come May, they will cancel your contract. You'll have plenty of opportunities all over the country and it'll pick back up in the fall. I've been traveling since last June and I am on...

5. To be a coward, or to be a fool?

   guest449786 replied to MsJenn_The_RN's topic in COVID

   Everyone has said it better than I could. But, I served in the military and they 100% took better care of you and provided a much higher level of protection and ensured everyone had proper equipment and tools to do the job. They invested a lot of mon...

6. RN being bullied by LVN

   guest449786 replied to BDBSNRN's topic in Relations

   We are all equals, but on paper, in most states, if not all, RNs are not permitted to take clinical direction from LPNs. It's not about being better or having someone subordinate to you. These rules are in place for a reason and you are not only jeop...

7. HELP: How Extensive Are Hiring Background Checks?

   guest449786 replied to khaleesikitten's topic in General Students

   They do and can receive their information from the social security administration, not the IRS. If you apply for certain government jobs they will do a social security check. I have personally worked for one private company and one government agency ...

8. HELP: How Extensive Are Hiring Background Checks?

   guest449786 replied to khaleesikitten's topic in General Students

   If you paid taxes on your income from being a camgirl then it is possible for an employer or anyone willing to pay the fee to find out about your past work history. Normally credit agencies will have access to this information and an employer can req...

9. Nursing Dose

   guest449786 replied to guest449786's topic in Medications

   I am aware of what is legal, illegal, and what falls within the scope of practice for RNs in the state that I reside and practice in. I did not say that I agree, advocate, or engage in this behavior. When an individual initiates a topic or subject, c...

10. Convicted of murder as a teen and now a nurse

    guest449786 replied to TheGooch's topic in General Nursing

    The BON, a government entity, is made of imperfect people who should not always have the final say on nursing practice and don't always have patients' best interest in mind. After all, it was another government entity, in Germany, that created an ind...

11. Nursing Dose

    guest449786 replied to guest449786's topic in Medications

    This subject may be the equivalent of asking a police officer if they carry a throw-down. It's definitely not something I'm advocating for or believe is the right thing by the patient. It was brought up to me by a very competent nurse, who has over ...

12. Nursing Dose

    guest449786 posted a topic in Medications

    On orientation, at a previous facility, I was told about nursing doses. Normally it involves giving extra narcotic to a person in severe pain. This occurred in a emergent setting where patients would have been ordered Morphine 1mg IV and the dose com...

13. Convicted of murder as a teen and now a nurse

    guest449786 replied to TheGooch's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think most nurses have that difficult of time with the idea or concept of death. For me, personally, it's the idea of murder that invokes rage, etc. Death is natural and being murdered by someone should not be confused as being the same. I wo...

14. Convicted of murder as a teen and now a nurse

    guest449786 replied to TheGooch's topic in General Nursing

    Just think about this, don't comment, so it's okay to be a bigot when it comes to Christians and their beliefs and then be open-minded and non-judgmental when it comes to a convicted murderer that is trusted with the well-being and possibly the lives...

15. Convicted of murder as a teen and now a nurse

    guest449786 replied to TheGooch's topic in General Nursing

    If it was justified self-defense then the individual would not have been convicted. I don't know how an individual is still permitted to be a nurse after a murder conviction, but they should not be. Regardless of age, or what-if scenario, when you a...
