   Prior employer restricting EPIC access for new job/employer

   Emergent replied to pastudent's topic in General Nursing

   I've always given 2 weeks notice. I think 4 weeks is more appropriate for a salaried position. I left a per diem job while I was on orientation once, without notice. I had another job at the time. It just was not a good fit, and that's what ori...

   Healthcare in Mexico

   Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

   The ex is out of the hospital. Our son is getting him set up with a better living situation, where the landlord is nearby and speaks fluent English, and there are people who can help an elderly expatriate. Mexico is a much more down to earth society ...

   Healthcare in Mexico

   Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

   My first husband has lived in Mexico for a while. He is 80 years old, he was quite a bit older than me when we married. He lives in Oaxaca. I think he basically lives there because he didn't work very hard his whole life, and so the cost of liv...

   President Biden thread

   Emergent replied to Beerman's topic in Talk Politics

   Actually I don't read the political forums here, this is an anomaly. But I did see some clips of the debate, and what we already knew is clearly very obvious from the president's performance. But meanwhile, it hasn't affected me personally. I see thi...

   President Biden thread

   Emergent replied to Beerman's topic in Talk Politics

   On all levels. It hasn't hit bottom yet though. How we are living now though, is unsustainable. From materialism, massive debt, breakdown of the families, failure to properly educate children, entitlement, farmland being gobbled up by housing d...

   President Biden thread

   Emergent replied to Beerman's topic in Talk Politics

   Well, the U.S. is clearly in a societal decline that is something that government really can't control, and maybe is making worse. I choose to focus closer to home on the things I do have influence over.

    President Biden thread

    Emergent replied to Beerman's topic in Talk Politics

    This isn't the first time this has happened. Woodrow Wilson and Ronald Reagan come to mind. Obviously, the country keeps humming along, run by big corporations, special interests, etc... Woodrow Wilson's wife was reported to have been his...

    Nursing is Toxic Video

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    Despite the overly dramatic title, this is a very professionally presented video detailing the negative human dynamics of a new to the ICU orientee. This nurse really spells out the social realities of many nursing units. I think many of us have expe...

    Being a nurse in Ohio with a medical marijuana card? HELP!!

    Emergent replied to Sunflower1700's topic in General Nursing

    What is needed is a more accurate test for THC. It's ridiculous to limit the off duty, legal use by nurses. After all, if you were taking a pain pill that was legitimately prescribed, they wouldn't get their panties in a bunch. When I was the s...

    My patient doesn't want to work with me at all and it's hurtful

    Emergent replied to dsaprog's topic in General Nursing

    You are going to have occasional faux pas that angers a patient. The best thing to do is to apologize as soon as possible. He might be a cranky old man, but as detailed above, you didn't read the orders correctly. If a patient questions an order, alw...
