Actually I find it to be so embarrassing to be in the same profession as those nurses that are trying to refuse the vaccine. How can they be so anti-science? What did they learn in school?

No religions are against this vaccine. Total baloney to make it up.

Wow this going out with a patient, no matter how innocent it may seem? Crosses boundaries big time!

Don't cross the boundaries.

I'm sorry you feel that way. But these things are what I often see when nurses that are way too new in nursing jump into a field they are too inexperienced to deal with. Save yourself because the hospital will not save you. Do not beat yourself up...

I have credible decades years of experiences in critical care areas. Many different hospitals. I have worked out of my state in union hospitals. Absolutely NO comparison!

I wish I had the choice to go union. I live in a Right to Work state. They only unions happen to be those that work in grocery stores, larger chain and some of the specialty trades. Every hospital in the state FIGHT against unions. In fact the reas...

Well we are far from Nazis. Did you forget your biology class lessons? Responding with sheer emotion and not much actual facts. A zygote and embryo are not capable of sustaining life. A fetus at many early stages is also unable to live outside the...

Just because I might have never obtained an abortion, I have no right to speak or decide for another woman. That is a very private decision between the woman and her doctor. Unless I have walked in her shoes? I don't know what is really going on in...

Exactly how it works. When I did a lot of per diem it would tie up my days and it was unknown until the morning of if I got called in. I was just referring to the poster claiming there were NO BENEFITS, there are some. I think I did rack up some p...

LOL I am an active RN and never stopped working! Funny. Not at all retired, too young to retire. You have been a nurse for all of how many years NG? Talk to me about my experience not being relative to the conversation, when you have my wide va...

I've worked plenty of Per Diem jobs before. The Per Diem positions at my hospital now DO require all staff work a minimum of shifts per month/week. Otherwise why would they keep their position for you? They do have some benefits too. All have to b...

If injured at work then Workers Comp would kick in to cover you. Workers Comp has to cover all employees whether they are FT, PT or even Per Diem without regular benefits.

Well like I stated in another post, I've been an RN for over 40 years. I've worked every single specialty, except Labor and Delivery. The thing is people that claim it takes too long, must be doing it wrong. It takes MERE MINUTES! I teach my stude...

Your words speak for themselves. Now you are trying to backtrack. I think you don't have the experience in the real world. You are just reciting rhetoric. Just my opinion. I've encountered people like you before.

Hopefully discussing this with your doctor may help. I don't know if you also have a therapist? But that would help with the anxiety also. Good luck. It does get easier.

Which is why so many people are having such strong issues with this very subject in the political arena. We realize how it is hurting real people and it breaks our heart.

I totally agree! I think the OP is in the very beginning of school for nursing. They have not experienced near enough exposure to a system that they have already formulated beliefs on. From what I have read from the OP; their "beliefs" are just the...

It is not about being a Martyr at all! It is about the patients. I don't know why you went into nursing. I know why I did. Of course my life is important, so is my family's safety. I am certain the hospitals there have plans for the family members an...

The point is it takes minutes, yes mere minutes to whip through an assessment. I don't know how long it takes you but I don't take long at all! I also teach at the college level and my students appreciate learning this skill. By the end of the sem...

You are cherry-picking. All patients deserve the best of care. Unless you are a true genuine psychic you don't know who is going to turn south!

That is just scary. Good learning for you on what not to do. Follow what you learn at the clinicals. The assessments at the beginning of the start of each shift is the norm.

by HeySis #32 10 Sep 5 by HeySis, BSN, RN Our stethoscopes are at each bay, get used on that patient only (by one nurse) and then cleaned before the next patient comes through. I work PACU, and I listen to every single patients lung sounds... and nev...

The thing is those "head to toe" assessments do not take that long to perform. I call nurses that refuse or try to justify NOT doing them just plain lazy. There is no darn reason not to do them. Worse case scenario? Dude, I've been a nurse way lo...

Continue to do your full assessments as you were taught! Those nurses that tell you that are pure lazy. Do not listen to them. Learn and keep the good habits. Trust me, what you learn now will be your foundation as your grow. I would stay there ...
