    Advice From Season Nurses

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

    Oh my GOSH... I started reading your post thinking “cardiac ICU is a tough gig for a new grad... no shame in transferring for a while.” Then I read the rest. I am not even one to scream NETY......

    Texas BON mental health question. To disclose or not disclose?

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

    This is how I see it: would we ever tell a patient that having bipolar disorder means he is no longer fit to practice his livelihood? Or would we tell them that it is a medical condition— just like...

    Chemical Castration Condition for Parole in Alabama

    Here.I.Stand replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    I disagree with it, but not because of ethics. 1) rape is an act of violence and exertion of power on a victim. It’s not about uncontrollable libido. 2) It won’t prevent acts of molestation not...

    Trump's 'religious conscience'

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

    That’s how I took it, although I get that it could be a slippery slope. That said, while many religious texts say that same-sex SEX is wrong, to my knowledge no religious texts say that we are not...

    Going bowling with a former pediatric patient who's moved on to the adult world

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

    He could drop by and visit the unit, no? We have former trauma patients and their families come back to say hello and thank you all the time. At my first job (primarily neuro/ENT) my floor took a...

    You do realize that prior to the multiple guess test with a maximum of what, 250 questions?.... the licensure exam was TWO DAYS of a WRITTEN exam?? Your advice not to listen to RubyVee would be...

    Nurse Practitioner Called a Drug-Dealer at Sentencing

    Here.I.Stand replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing News

    How did her forgery go so long? Lots of criminals get away with their actions for a long time without being caught.... it’s unfortunate but true. That’s why serial killers are even a thing....

    Women's Right to Choose

    Here.I.Stand replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    I’m not saying my experience is why it should be banned; I recognize the limitations of anecdotes and the necessity of EBP as much as the next person. I have no idea if my experience is the norm...

    Women's Right to Choose

    Here.I.Stand replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    I’m going to get vulnerable for a bit and share my experience and hopefully tie it into nursing. I had an abortion when I was a teenager that I DID NOT WANT... I did it because I felt like I had no...

    Hospital Staff Drops Newborn

    Here.I.Stand replied to CityofAngelsRN's topic in Nursing News

    I was thinking this too, but at the same time I would think that a baby being dropped would warrant a CT or whatever the protocol for newborns is? Correct me if I’m wrong... I don’t do kids...

    What does it take to succeed in the ICU?

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