  1. Taking a break? How long until you came back?

    LibraNurse27 replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    I think we offer advice with the true intent to help others, but it also feels good to try to help and feel knowledgable, so maybe it's selfish and altruistic at the same time? hmmm

  2. Taking a break? How long until you came back?

    LibraNurse27 replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    That was not my intention, but thank you for the feedback. No hurt feelings LOL I see where you are coming from. I became one of the people I was complaining about who posts about unrelated topics in...

  3. Which patients are you most scared to take care of?

    LibraNurse27 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Covid pts scared me because of how they could decline so suddenly and rapidly. Almost like pediatric respiratory pts where they compensate so well until suddenly they can't and crash. So many crash...

  4. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    LibraNurse27 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I don’t think white people can decide that racism is over, because we are not the ones experiencing it. Listen to black people, don’t get defensive or feel that someone talking about racism is a...

    LibraNurse27 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Black Wall Street wasn’t rebuilt because... racism.

  6. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    LibraNurse27 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    There may be laws but it doesn't mean they are followed. Although there are laws against employment discrimination, it doesn't mean employers have to hire black employees, or give an explanation as to...

  7. Buying a House on a Nurse's Income: How Do Nurses Afford $450,000+ Houses?

    LibraNurse27 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I was hoping BLM land meant black Americans finally received the reparations they were promised when slavery ended. Sadly not the case. But, the actual thing is really cool. Especially that homeless...

  11. Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    LibraNurse27 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Awww I didn’t mean it in a bad way! I just thought maybe her toughness helped her recover? It just kind of sucked because the code team responded so fast and effectively and she recovered so well,...

  12. Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    LibraNurse27 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting! I always wonder about how many people really pop up from CPR totally fine like in Grey's Anatomy (I love how their patients "wake up" during chest compressions and then just sleep...

  13. Specialties and Advice

    LibraNurse27 replied to gtb3435's topic in General Nursing

    Community clinic could be good! The one I worked at didn't require acute care experience. They said hospital nursing was so different than what their nurses did that they didn't think it was...

  14. I NEED ADVICE!

    LibraNurse27 replied to Mebzone05's topic in General Nursing

    Do you like working in the critical zone? If not, maybe you can ask that until you can re-train there and then consistently work there to keep up your skills, that you don't want to be scheduled...

  15. Are nurses able to shower after shift?

    LibraNurse27 replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in General Nursing

    In the 2 hospitals I've worked at the only place for staff to shower was OR. Staff who asked could use it if we asked. Randomly the community clinic I worked at had a beautiful, big clean...

  16. Have you ever requested a patient be removed from your workload?

    LibraNurse27 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Yes! It took me a while to learn this. It doesn't help to try to convince pts to do PT, get up, lose weight, stop drinking, stop doing drugs, etc if they have no intention to do so. You can educate,...

  17. The Needy Patient

    LibraNurse27 replied to Nurse Pompom's topic in General Nursing

    I tried to spend some "quality time" with these pts at beginning of shift, introduce myself, explain plan for the shift, ask if anything they want to accomplish, if any questions, anything you need...

    LibraNurse27 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I really hope not to end up in a nursing home but if I do I will put which rappers I like on my Advance

  19. Gross Me Out ? Contest | Nurses Week

    LibraNurse27 replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    Throughout my career I've had a few surprises like that, and continue to be surprised about how people can "forget" stuff in there: drugs, tampons, condoms, nuva ring... I hope I never find out what...

  20. How many jobs have you had in your career?

    LibraNurse27 replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    That is such an amazing wide variety of experience! I hope not to switch jobs too many more times, but every 4-6 years definitely sounds reasonable, and I would love to try as many specialties as you...

  21. "Thank you for your service"

    LibraNurse27 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I would say, definitely. DJT convinced some people that Asian Americans somehow brought in the virus... even though they're Americans...? Here in the Bay Area there have been so many attacks, in SF,...

  22. Yale Nurse Replaces Fentanyl Vials with Saline

    LibraNurse27 replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    It's bothering me how little compassion I feel toward her. I have compassion about the addiction part, but none about what she did. Yes, people out of their minds on drugs do crazy things, but what...

  23. How many jobs have you had in your career?

    LibraNurse27 replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    I've always thought this sounded cool! Still acute care but focused on one area and without the crazy time management. Did you have to get your WOCN certification? Our wound nurse evaluated wounds and...

  24. "Thank you for your service"

    LibraNurse27 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, even if I don't agree with what our military is doing sometimes, I don't hold that against 18 year olds who may not even fully comprehend our military conflicts, but see the military as an...

  25. Please tell me it’s just Medsurg!!

    LibraNurse27 replied to Aweb's topic in General Nursing

    Over the time I felt the same way in acute care. So busy, no time to chart until after shift, feel like even if you ran the entire shift couldn't give pts everything they needed, plus violent pts. I...
