again, the last laugh I will have. Did you enjoy your 3 rounds of mandatory MRNA vaccines? I warned you to find a better profession / find another way to make a living.

I could continue arguing with you, but it would just go back and fourth. You are obviously an intelligent person. We need that in nursing. Yep I agree my posts "flame" and I bring the heat. If no one challenges this complacency we will only doom ourselves. That is why I am good in my role today, I think differently, try to be creative, and go against the grain. I am sharing that with you in this post. Not saying you are going to like it. OK fine you got my grammar. My point still stands.

I cant argue with you! We'd probably get along.

And read the post, it got PLENTY of attention (65k views, this site made $$ off of ads due to that post) because I had a solid point. Just because you don't like it, does not mean it is not worthy.

I completely disagree. This has a huge impact on our public image.

I am not a troll but I am a truth bringer. I get it, you are all a "click" and want to gang up on an outsider by calling me a troll. It's cool though I've been doubted and repressed my entire life, I know how to handle this. I m glad I triggered some of you who are doing nothing now other than arguing with me to help cope with an obvious decline in the profession. It's OK; I am here for you and will listen. Please see the Image I posted; it shares the stages of coping. Regarding the recent trend of unprofessionalism in nursing, I believe many of you are in stage 2, judging by your responses. I myself am in stage 3 and approaching stage 4. I hope in the future, nurses will find ways to enhance their professionalism. These tik tok videos are not professional. I m finding here people are defensive // coping // ignoring // just getting by. I'd like to end this post with the definition of professionalism. pro·fes·sion·al·ism noun the competence or skill expected of a professional. "the key to quality and efficiency is professionalism" the practicing of an activity, especially a sport, by professional rather than amateur players. "the trend toward professionalism"

we need to judge, they are killing our profession. We are in the situation we are in today,with the world, because we let idiots do stuff for to long without saying anything. You don't believe me that our profession is in dire danger: I've done my part by warning you all. Where is HR in all of this? Where are nursing leaders?

See this is part of the problem, eveyone wants to be blind folded like bird box. First it was the birdbox blind fold, now it is the covid mask, what's next? If you cared about integrity and the profession's future, I think these things need to be considered. Just because the "trend" exposes nurses' lives in the fashion in which it is currently doing through social media does not mean this is best or what should be happening. Can we blame nursing educators for failing to share professionalism and humility with students? Do we blame society as a whole? Or are the days of honor, self-respect, preservation of struggle, and humility only a thing of the past? I, for one, believe we are witnessing a decay in nursing standards. What comes down the road from here, if this trend continues, is nothing good.

Just about every post here has helped to restore my faith in the profession. Maybe it is because this is a third party nursing website that tends to attract a "higher quality" nurse? Or perhaps we are just part of the older population, as I am in my 30's, and I can be experiencing a normal generational dissatisfaction with the youth. I know many of you gestured that my initial tone was harsh/rude; it was meant to be that way as I am upset with the unprofessional trend. I LOVE the different aspects of nursing, even though I have struggled like many of you, and I would fight to defend the profession's integrity and value, as I am trying to do with the discussion here. I feel my message was not geared towards many of you potentially great nurses who post here; I really don't know the extent of the audience that exists on this site, and therefore, I doubt many of you are part of the problem. The nurses causing this disturbance are not posting on allnurse; they are on insta, tik ,snap , etc... Don't forget to make a tik tok video about it while you dance inappropriately in the med room. Where is HR in all this social media mix? Dropping the ball?

still working in nursing btw, doing my best to climb ranks. things have been working out. Still don't recommend this feild. TY for talking crud. I always come back and I always have the last laugh. ALWAYS

I was expecting to be attacked, TY for the constructive feedback. I have not seen the crying videos and I probably shouldn't see these. To be honest I do my best to avoid most social media these days because of things like this. The less I know, the better. but WOW! Crying videos now too?? people wake up!!

I agree with this thread after all these years, if you can find something better do it. Nursing is being flooded by new grads who didn't deserve to pass nursing school. They are killing the profession.

I am coming back to this forum, after being away for many years, to communicate this message to you: Are you kidding me? Why is this profession on "blast" everywhere? Every Instagram post has some covid/nursing/hero quote within it. Nurses are now dancing all over tik tok? Do you think this is cool? Do you think this is what professionalism is about? It is to the point where I am almost ashamed of being a nurse; our traditional nurse leaders are rolling over in their graves. Have humility, stop talking bad / complaining about how awful your jobs are. You came into this profession, probably for the $ and cause every other post on facebook influenced you. This is all part of the agenda: flood hospitals with nurses to drive down wages, make working conditions worse, and pay less. Basic supply/demand strategy used by all corporations to make their workers replaceable). There are plenty of good nurses out there, I am sure. I am just disgusted by the profession's turn: Nurses are shaking all their goods for social media; nurses have no respect for their patients and do nothing but talk chit. I am nothing like most of you, I am ashamed of you, have some respect. Be humble, stop fishing for attention on social media.

i still stand b y what i said. Do something better.

I like you, have found myself in a situation where 2 weeks may make or break me. I would suggest sticking it out, even if you do not make it. I have been a preceptor to several new grads before. I find that when their systems of organization are broken, they really struggle to manage the shift. I think there needs to be a basic structure to your shift as a nurse. First is report, as a new nurse drill the nurse to make sure you are getting all the info you need before you start your shift, cause i m sorry, no a NEW NURSE does not have time to sit through the chart at the begining of the shift to find info on a patient. also in report critically think about your patients and it is a good time for both nurses to think about patients/find issues/work together. Make sure from report your are getting this info from the leaving nursing: How the patient came in? (found on floor at home, pox 82% when ambulance came, etc..) PMH (DM, HTN, CVA, Cabg, etc..) Diagnosis: this is important, why the **** is the patient actually here, and make sure it is the actual reason, lots of times nurses do not even know this, but this is usually important. This could be a UTI, CVA, 10/10 back pain, etc.. Make sure you know why the patient is there i can not stress this. --and also what are they doing for the reason why the patient is there (here with uti, so on antibiotics) here with cva (on ASA, on coumadin etc)) also important diagnostic test (here with UTI, on vanco, urine culture +Ecoli) w/e it make be, here with TIA MRA + stendosis >90% Left ICA (related and significant diagnotistic test always important) -then make sure you are getting all basic info in report (code status, where they live (snf, home alone, home with family, 24hr care giver), etc..) Then assessment (neuro, resp, gi, gu, skin, etc) should get and over view on assessment then plan (pt here to finish abx then d/c to snf) this should cover most of a basic report then after report, run in and check on ur patients for 30seconds each (make sure bed alarms on, safety maintained, etc.. do not run an get them crackers, make sure they are stable and bed alarms on if needed) then you go through the chart, look at your meds and orders and note whatever is important that you do. then start to pass meds to patients (pass meds on your sickest patient first) while you are passing meds, do your assessment on these patients. if you have any orders to do on these patients (dressing changes, lotions, creams, repositioning, etc) do it now too. Call docs when needed, determine how important it is that you speak to doc right away, if not that important write it down and complie a list of stuff you need to go over with doc. do this on all your patients (easier said then done), get all there needs met, delegate, everything else that comes in between and then chart. sorry just trying to s hare with you the basic structure of what i think new grads should be focusing on. May help you, may not, some may agree, some may not. Stay strong.
