  1. Accepted! Now what to do?

    sneeds replied to hgt219's topic in General Students

    I agree with Larry, get an NCLEX book, Saunders, start reading for fun. You'll get acquainted with terminology and interventions. Use this book while you're going through nursing school! Cuz it's what...

  2. New Nursing Career: 90 days - UM suggests I voluntarily resign

    sneeds replied to RNmichaelJ's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You'll find a place that fits you that you are happy in. This one is not it. It's obvious that this unit does not want to grow nurses. They want to save money on new grads but want them to practice as...

  3. Is health care a "right"

    sneeds replied to tulip5's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I don't understand how some people in our society think they are so independent from it. The whole world is linked together. It is this division thinking that keeps our society from focusing on what...

    sneeds posted a topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I see cutbacks, pushbacks in all specialties and arguments about the big budget and no one really knows whats going on. But many are complaining about CEO pay and expansions used as an excuse that are...

  7. Cry for help: I don't think I can do this.

    sneeds replied to -MissTake-'s topic in General Students

    I totally agree with maybelaterRN. I couldn't have posted a better post. To add my couple cents, when you get to that place after 6 mos or more when you start to feel safe with your peers, even after...

  9. Why are people uncomfortable talking about mental health?

    sneeds replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I do not mean to excuse actions that hurt others as being a special place. I'm coming from a place where maybe we healthcare members & insurance companies can help more family's recognize signs...

  10. Why are people uncomfortable talking about mental health?

    sneeds replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Mental health is not like physical health. You can't see the root of the problem most of the time. Therefore, there is no physical fix like other physical ailments diagnosed with labs and scans. It's...

  13. Burned out and hate nursing

    sneeds replied to RN1023's topic in Health, Stress Management

    sneeds replied to RN1023's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Ug.... Im not going to assume the position from which you come, Joanna. Your above statement seems so "whatever". Yeah, any nurse here can cheer Look and Plan if bedside is not for you. The problem is...

  15. Burned out and hate nursing

    sneeds replied to RN1023's topic in Health, Stress Management

    One thing that I have learned so far is that I love nursing and I'm growing. On the other hand, the way our profession is being utilized and "managed" and run (into the ground) is making it miserable...

  16. Burned out and hate nursing

    sneeds replied to RN1023's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Not necessarily. Nursing has been sold to students - there are many options - but it takes making connections and experience to open up those options. It's not as easy a road as it has been portrayed....

  17. Burned out and hate nursing

    sneeds replied to RN1023's topic in Health, Stress Management

    It's not the nurses fault that patients are not being cared for appropriately. That is what this post is about as well. It's about nurses who just want to be nurses but feel so overwhelm by the...

    sneeds replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Ugh... I'm so frustrated that this article like many others concerning patient safety and nurse health are not taken seriously. Seriously, 10K readers online and sooo very few speaking up about...

  21. Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    sneeds replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Well, when big business buys government and uses tactics such as purposeful obfuscation and social engineering so that said generations, whom are too busy trying to eek out a living, cannot (out of...

  22. Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    sneeds replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Yes, but then the processed food industry would be unhappy and send their army of lobbyists to put a stop to that nonsense. lol. Healthcare depends on sick people to drive profits. Big business drives...

  23. Political hope for bedside nurses

    sneeds replied to forrester's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Where do you find the nursing surveys? In the book? Where can nurses find more info at a safe place. How do we figure out which organization is working against us or with us? If you google union...

  25. Are Orlando Health RN's Happier than Florida Hospital Rns?

    sneeds replied to Preeps's topic in Florida Nursing

    I have a buddy who works at OH and he says the same thing. Increasing ratios, push backs, increase tasks, etc. Sounds like those two hospitals are operating the same way. Frying pan and fire. Sounds...
