    I put the blinders on and am regretting it

    Here.I.Stand replied to Arafelle's topic in General Students

    Workplace violence is absolutely not an expectation, part of the job, what we signed up for.... none of that. Is it a possibility — sure. In my setting though (adult ICU), attempts to assault...

    Nursing School and Career with Back Problems

    Here.I.Stand replied to person115's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds good in theory, and no we don’t physically lift patients. But we sure as heck have to move them (and sometimes the hardware — halos, ex fixes, traction weights etc) for bed changes/wound...

    Pay rate for per diem position too low?

    Here.I.Stand replied to ellevaz27's topic in Long Term Acute Care

    8-9 years ago I was making $44/hr for per diem in LTAC. Day shift... can’t remember what the night differential was. It was extremely difficult work... at the time I didn’t even think $44/hr...

    Is 6 times a day too many to visit a favorite patient who isn’t on your caseload?

    Here.I.Stand replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Completely irrelevant. It doesn’t matter if they show appreciation or not.... the answer is the

    Is 6 times a day too many to visit a favorite patient who isn’t on your caseload?

    Here.I.Stand replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    So many boundaries, so many crossings... Yes 6 visits a day is too many. The residents on your current caseload deserve all of your attention. No you shouldn’t try to swap cases... if you’re...

    Recurring Nursing Dreams?

    Here.I.Stand replied to nurse82318's topic in General Nursing

    I have the one where I get to the end of my shift and realize I haven’t laid eyes on a pt through the entire shift. Usually they’re on an insulin or vasoactive gtt

    Nurse with mental issues?

    Here.I.Stand replied to Nurseunite's topic in General Nursing

    For me — and I get this isn’t true for everyone — working helps. While I’m helping someone having a worse day than I am I can focus on that person. It’s affected my home life

    Nurse with mental issues?

    Here.I.Stand replied to Nurseunite's topic in General Nursing

    I have depression and PTSD and I’m perfectly fine disclosing medical conditions. I agree with the first poster... you need to be honest with your care team.

    failing due to less than .1 of a percent

    Here.I.Stand replied to folin8's topic in General Students

    I don’t know... we were expected to be prepared and had to do plenty of outside studying, but I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect instructors to be the expert in the room. When I was...

    How does your hospital address patients who refuse all care

    Here.I.Stand replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I agree if it’s framed like “I’m a student and learned such and such in lecture... does it actually look like this in the real world?” Or “I don’t know what I’d do in this situation......

    Nurse cannot take report because she/he on break can you call back in 30 minutes?

    Here.I.Stand replied to HalfBoiled's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn’t dream of interrupting a colleague’s break... they are off the clock and recharging. If it’s an urgent need to get the bed freed up (I work in SICU) I’ll ask for the floor charge

    Facial coverings effective?

    Here.I.Stand replied to Thanksforthedonuts's topic in Disaster Preparation

    A fart is gases.... atoms/molecules are much smaller particles than viruses so of course they can escape easily through fabric. Besides some protection is better than none. Yet-to-be-symptomatic...

    How to deal with hate as a Nurse since we are getting special treatment during this time?

    Here.I.Stand replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Because everyone has the financial, time, and intellectual goods to further or add to their education? Because nobody has any business seeking a career in theatre or cosmetology or professional...

    Here.I.Stand replied to L.P.CNA's topic in General Nursing

    Is this an acceptable way to bathe patients or am I overreacting?

    Here.I.Stand replied to Cherrydrop's topic in General Nursing

    First, thank you for being so mindful of the residents’ dignity! ? I’m an ICU nurse and this is a very common occurrence; unless the CNA is very efficient and/or has a lighter work load, I will...

    Do nurses really remember everything they learn in nursing school?

    Here.I.Stand replied to StudentNurseMNUS's topic in General Nursing

    If I’m being honest no I don’t remember everything from nursing school.... and my GPA was 3.98. The nice thing about working in the real world vs the classroom is you are able to — EXPECTED TO...
