The ignore function is awesome. I used it for a member and it is great.

Many Americans are just arrogant. They will find out the hard way when either they get Covid-19 or a family members dies from Covid-19. Our education system has failed us. Many people can't critically think, fail to look at facts or believe in consp...

For anyone who doesn't think racism is a public health issue, please educate yourself. Educate yourself on implicit bias and racism. For the sake of your patients. Look to develop your critical thinking skills. Not everything is black and white. As a...

The more the virus is allowed to run rampant, the more likely healthcare workers may be exposed to the virus. Healthcare workers have already died from the virus. There isn't enough PPE. The US had time to prepare and we didn't. I value my health and...

Covid-19 has killed thousands in a short amount of time vs individuals killed during a flu season. There is currently no vaccine available to everyone. I realize there are clinical trials happening. There is a flu vaccine. While definitely not perfec...

Incompetence definitely, possibly malfeasance. Our Federal Government did not act quickly to begin with.

A Hit with the Ladies... After reading your comments, I have great concern that you are a nurse. You are turning your head to science, facts and reality. Your comments, if said to a layperson could encourage them to not wear a mask and social distanc...

I really need some advice. I moved to another state with my husband in April. I started a job with an agency that contracts with a health insurance company for nursing case management. I love this job. In October, Humana cut some of my members due to...

Without going into detail- is there any one that can offer their opinion on this agency? I have some very serious concerns about them! Thanks

I've been a nurse for 8years. I've done critical care, med surg, hospice and home health. I now do case management which can be enjoyable. I suppose I am just asking for guidance bc I know deep down I'm burned out. It's hard to deal with the family m...

This is insane. 😒 I agree with getting a lawyer.

I'm so sorry this has happened to you. I wish you the best.

I do in home case management. Least stressful job I have ever had. No direct nursing care. You get to know your patient and have time to teach and educate about ways to improve their health.

I think 10-12 weeks is more appropriate for a new graduate nurse. I got almost 12 weeks.

It is definitely possible to work during nursing school but it depends on many factors. With the nursing program I was in, it was 40 hours per week with just class and clinical. Then there was homework assignments every night. I was able to work part...

I don't have sickle cell disease but I did want to say I have chronic pain. I can have significant pain but still be calm, talkative, watch TV, etc. I suggest earning CEUs in pain management. I believe this might help your practice greatly.

I have scoliosis that is significant and I've been a nurse for 8 years. It is possible to be a nurse as long as you take care of yourself.

This is dangerous on so many levels. I would be looking for a different job or ask the agency to put you with a low acuity patient. It's frustrating to hear when agencies or hospitals put new grads in these situations to save money.

I remember when I only had just a few years of nursing experience it was difficult for me to get any calls back. Even after interviews. I just kept trying and eventually was able to get a different job. I learned so much from those interviews and int...

This is common in other hospitals.

I felt this way when I did acute care. Leaving the hospital setting was one of the best choices I ever made. Otherwise I believe I would of left the nursing profession all together.

I've had this problem too. Focus on being the best nurse you can be.

Seems really disorganized/lack of communication. If it's already this way and you haven't been hired, I am not sure I would want to work there if I was in your shoes.

I do case management and there is no way in hell I would be able to do this job if I didn't have the acute care experience I've acquired.

Is it possible you could afford to go to PT or even PRN until you can find a different job? I always have advocated trying to stay at a job as a new nurse for at least a year but it sounds like your body is trying to tell you this is too much stress....
