  1. Feeling overwhelmed

    mushyrn replied to Miffy's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It sounds like you joined an online NP program, which in my opinion, is unfortunate. These proliferating online NP programs are degrading to the profession at the moment, no matter what people say....

  2. Professionalism Issues/Questions

    mushyrn replied to AAC.271's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I could see how a previous EMT would be "rough" with patients. Many of the patients they see are at death's door and gentleness isn't needed? As a NP, you are a healthcare provider and a...

  3. How hard is it to be a Microbiologist?

    mushyrn replied to minahey's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Anything is hard if you're not good at it, and anything can be fairly easy if you excel at it. Take some micro classes and see how that

  4. Is this legal?

    mushyrn replied to jessimee's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see why it would be illegal - only degrading to the NP

  5. Why are nurses disrespected so much?

    mushyrn replied to fitfabfunnurse2b's topic in General Nursing

    Because they let themselves be. They try to be martyrs. They try to be heroes. They TRY to lay themselves down like doormats for patients/admin/MDs/etc to walk all over them. Stick up for...

  6. Socially needy coworkers

    mushyrn replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    You report her for HIPAA violation for looking at charts she doesn't belong in.

  7. Is leaving before hurricane abandonment?

    mushyrn replied to CNAbutLPN2be2017's topic in General Nursing

    I went into nursing to help people and to pay for my life expenses that I accrue. I did not go into nursing to die for people, or to risk my life for people. That is called a first...

  8. Is leaving before hurricane abandonment?

    mushyrn replied to CNAbutLPN2be2017's topic in General Nursing

    Leave your job. Get out if you feel that you need to. These nurses saying "but the patients need to be taken care of..." - so do you and your family, and that should be your #1 priority. Nurses...

  9. Possible HIPAA trouble help me please!

    mushyrn replied to Giggly12's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I thought one of the rules for posting was using proper English... has this gone out the back door? Anyway, you should ask for more Epic

  10. IVDU pt kept asking for pain meds. Managment kept saying to just give it to her.

    mushyrn replied to ella2990's topic in General Nursing

    You got a Bachelors degree with English writing like that? Let's talk about that for a minute. But heck no. IV drug user doesn't need all of that crap. Poor MD work, they should consult pain...

  11. Received a strange email from a hiring manager... Please Help

    mushyrn replied to Ebussman's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Learn from it, if you don't get the job. In the future, learn to care when you send

  12. Unprofessional to mention you have other patients?

    mushyrn replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I kindly let my management know that it is beyond my ability to satisfy these whacky people, and they need to speak with them, themselves.

  13. Unprofessional to mention you have other patients?

    mushyrn replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    This PC hospital scripting is ridiculous. Of course I have other patients. Of course I'll get you the water you are acting like you may die without if it isn't presented to you in 5 seconds....

  14. Is this reasonable or just over the top?

    mushyrn replied to Lakeshore18's topic in General Nursing

    I would never do this. It is completely disrespectful to both patients and nurses. Tell those managers to go

  15. Night shift and mandatory meetings

    mushyrn replied to aprilrazz's topic in General Nursing

    Oh lawd - I would not make those meetings if I worked the night before and the night of. Or either of those. Nope. Management can get over that very quickly, or I would present them with evidence...

  16. What Do You Do When Co-Worker Falls Asleep on Night Shift?

    mushyrn replied to NightNerd's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    When I worked nights, I didn't mind a nurse dozing off every now and then, as long as it didn't interfere with their job duties. Usually, by midnight, things were a lot slower and a bit of dozing was...

  17. so... i assisted in a code today... BUT

    mushyrn replied to sickonXmas's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oh dear. You're that person. The crazy one writing everything down. We would not mesh. Lol. As a nurse, for my family, I could never be that person. I don't want to add additional stress on top...

  18. If I failed out nursing program, will it affect my chance of doing well in a DPT program?

    mushyrn replied to Aekju46's topic in General Students

    Not to be rude, but firstly you should learn to formulate an entire sentence. That probably has droves to do with your inability to pass these courses. You have to put forth the effort and time - it...

  19. Preventing call-ins

    mushyrn replied to Brandi,RN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure this attitude on the units does WONDERS for morale. I'd be on indeed.com in a second, bye! And who who are you to determine how often your employees get sick? Life

  20. Can I lose my license over this?

    mushyrn replied to wafiyyah's topic in General Nursing

    I understand. I've never actually even tried it. But I highly doubt the BONs would be so progressive to forego that rule if recreational weed were to become

  21. Can I lose my license over this?

    mushyrn replied to wafiyyah's topic in General Nursing

    I long for the days nurses are rational enough to realize recreational weed use (off the clock) is no reason to be fired or punished by some tyrannical BON, same as it is now with the much more...

  22. Nightmare on Night Shift

    mushyrn replied to Happynurse2222's topic in General Nursing

    You have to learn to not care so much. For real. The hospitals do not care about you, so don't care about them. Care about your patients and your license. If you feel the assignment is unsafe,...

  23. UTA ACNP January 2017

    mushyrn posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I was accepted to UTA'a ACNP on campus program for next spring! Is anyone else in the same boat? Let's keep up with each other if there's any of us on here.

  24. Sleeping at work

    mushyrn replied to zynnnie's topic in General Nursing

    I wish somebody would tell me to feel this way about my employer. I'll smile at you if I have reason to.

  25. Unfair Shift Rotation

    mushyrn replied to KHVILLE's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, you also lost me with the "nurses without kids" comment. Boo-hoo. I have no kids but I rarely work extra or switch shifts with people. We self-schedule and I make mine work for me. I would...
