So I'm currently in a Ph.D. Nursing Education program, and working on a course in advanced nursing theory. I was reading an article entitled "Theoretical development in the context of nursing-The hidden epistemology of nursing theory" and they discus...

Its the same way with the VA. It gives them an opportunity to move someone out if they don't fit with the organization in some way or another. After two years though you should be alright.

Oh meth heads touch my crazy nerve almost every time. And I have a deep crazy nerve too but they make my mom voice come out.

WOW! really? Snarky much? Me too happened to me long before there was recourse for women to seek help. I'm an Army vet ***, and I can tell you way more about a woman working around multiple men who make life damn near impossible to live than you woul...

*wakes from months long coma...finds the following -Trump is still president -a pandemic has been released by China -this topic thread is still going

That completely depends on you and you alone. Personally, if I were just entering nursing school I would still complete it. Covid is only one risk of being a nurse, we have a huge risk of abuse, assault, TB exposure among other things. There are plac...

I looked at the site you provided, but I don't see where you received your information. Only, it provides the same word for word that you posted in your first post.

This conversation makes me sad but it is one that we should be having. As a previous poster said, America is in for a rude awakening and that has been coming for quite a long while.

If you don't test, then you can't tell people that there are thousands currently sick with it, then there is less of a panic. Probably trying to save the stock markets from crashing.

That would mean that a patient would have to be sick for quite a while, infecting many people before something would show up on a CT. We really need more testing kits.

I have PTSD, generalized anxiety, and major depression. It wasn't until I found my current job that I really felt at home and don't suffer from it mostly at work. If you find your niche, you'll find your confidence to beat back the anxiety.

We don't hold off when the patient is calm and non-threatening, and we do strip the ones with tattoos and leather jackets if they are threatening self harm, harming others, or are wanting detox. Its standard practice because anything and everything c...

My idea of compassion is when my husband's hip was surgically glued back together, leaving me to beg for friends to babysit my four children. They all came through and I was able to get my shifts done. I would do the same for a coworker...away from w...

I am compassionate towards my coworkers. That being said...the child should not be at work. If something happens like a fire, she is going to be going to her child instead of her patients who need her. Infectious disease? I remember when one of the f...

I like the smell of tape

What was unrealistic was when my husband did not work more than occasional part-time, we were struggling, had no ambition for education, and was not actively pursuing full-time work. That happened for many years but I told myself that he did have a s...

300lbs isn't bad. When you get one that is pushing 450lbs, and can't help you turn it becomes a problem

I was on my way to work when I was about to turn into the campus I came upon a pedestrian laying in the road surrounded by people and one car with damage on the hood. So I stopped and assessed the man. Unconscious but still had a strong pulse and was...

Unless you have a LVN or CNA certification/license you can't put that beside your name.

Can you retire earlier than that?

Asystole is a stable rhythm. Anything else is apt for change. "Thats a DSP" day shift problem. "Aww bless his heart". Said by muah when about to intubate the nether region of a man, and the wife said don't laugh but he's small. Indeed, he was and sai...

Wow! Way more shocked about what the hospital did. Divorce the hospital not the husband.

Missed that part

If I were in your situation, I would apply for FMLA and for short term disability (if you have that in your insurance package). The FMLA will allow you to keep your job for 12 weeks of unpaid leave after your sick time is used up which may help as lo...

Wow a Medsurg floor without code buttons. Do you wear Voceras or anything, that could be used to call the rest of the staff into a room. But anyway, I agree that if it is not known start compressions while hollering for help would be the right answer...
