    Does Joint Commission have any credibility left in 2022?

    KalipsoRed21 replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    And most BONs. I fail to see how most of what they do protects patients. They just add on stipulations for keeping your license or how you work, but don’t provide nurses any ability to stand up for...

    War on Nurses

    KalipsoRed21 replied to dareese's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Also I feel the New Grads RNs being hired are getting shafted due to education needs but lack of personnel to train. We all know a new grad BSN is not floor ready. The last place I worked they tried...

    War on Nurses

    KalipsoRed21 replied to dareese's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This was my experience as well. State code of practice is often limited by the facility for litigation fears thus LVN remain under utilized, ratios “look” good but RNs are being burnt to a

    Bill Approved to Limit Treatment for Transgender Youth

    ", but because the homosexual and transgendered seem to feel they have a monopoly on being abused by teenaged peers." So sorry David, let me fix this statement for you. Homosexual and...

    Well I am all up for suggestions on other comedians. But my point wasn’t to specifically spotlight him. In this one particular video I feel he struck a nail on the head. TJC is a farce. And now it...

    Bullying is bad. Bullying is also part of living in a society…any society. Allowing youths who barely know themselves to have surgical procedures to change themselves to what they want to be before...

    War on Nurses

    KalipsoRed21 replied to dareese's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don’t believe “fast tracking” nursing programs is a good solution. I graduated 14 years ago and can tell you that my school education was expensive and did not even come close to preparing me...

    Mandatory Overtime

    KalipsoRed21 replied to ChknWing's topic in General Nursing

    I’ve worked at 9 facilities in 4 states. I would say 50% have a policy like this and in trying times the other 50% come up with one for the interim until staffing improves. I would also note that...

    Nursing Is No Longer Worth It

    Nursing Is No Longer Worth It

    KalipsoRed21 replied to AnonymousSuper's topic in Disaster Preparation

    1) Acuity has gone up and time of care has gone down. Which means people (and taxpayers) are paying out their bursa for poor quality care. Very unethical. I would imagine (or at least hope) that this...

    Nursing Is No Longer Worth It

    KalipsoRed21 replied to AnonymousSuper's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Of course nurses know the answer better than almost any other career. But you still have to pay your bills and support your kids. Even living as frugal a life as I do, there is little left for an...

    I want Healthcare to actually be health care. It isn’t, it’s capitalism at it’s worst. I want to be at work as little as possible and I don’t want to watch people die anymore or do bedbound...

    No, just that stating one profession’s income is over inflated really has no merit to if another profession is adequately compensated. My personal opinion is that over inflated incomes justify...

    So like maybe you haven’t done much nursing yet beside whatever sector you are in? Case Managers and Home Health RNs pretty much have a phone, are answering emails, and working on vacation for a...

    KalipsoRed21 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Well that’s a bit silly if you ask me. If your husband over paid instead of you being underpaid, then either way we go about it nurses are missing some money. So are most anyone in public

    KalipsoRed21 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    I think the pay for RNs is pretty stagnant. That the best way to improve your pay is, unfortunately, to move from job to job. I made $20.07 an hour in 2008. I now make $43.50 an hour. If you account...

    Burned Out?

    KalipsoRed21 replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I don’t know Davey. While the learning curve is steep for a new nurse (unnecessarily so, if you ask me), the stakes are high and the control of outcomes are very low. I hated nursing my first year,...

    KalipsoRed21 replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    The idea that a transgender teen “had to suffer” through to their 18th birthday to make the change, to me, just seems laughable. Not because they aren’t truly suffering, but because the...

    How do I continue to do this career? I feel like I’ve tried every available, reasonable option. I’ve worked the floor, I worked the E.R, I’ve travel nursed, I did clinical coordinator, and now I...

    Burnout - How long do I have?

    KalipsoRed21 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I recently quit a terrible job without a back up plan. It wasn’t the kind of job I could hang on to until something else came up. I’ve been off for a week and it is glorious. There is nothing...
