    Anyone ever fail Kaiser’s New Hire Tele Exam?

    Emergent replied to ck1cqc's topic in General Nursing

    Many years ago I took a multi-day EKG course with an excellent instructor. She really brought the information to life. An in person class can really make a

    Opioid Addiction and The Alex Murdaugh Case

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I also thought Judge Newman was very eloquent when he discussed the pressures that Alex was under that day. He had been confronted about embezzling money from clients. He had lost his job at the law...

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    For any of you who are following this case, what factor do you think opioid addiction played into this. Alex Murdaugh had a 20-year habit of serious opioid use. His life spiraled down a disastrous...

    @Davey Do you echo my thoughts about this. Sociopathy is often a inherited deficiency in the area of the brain that forms our conscience. I agree that genetics is often a major

    Discrimination Allegations

    Emergent replied to Irabee's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds ridiculous to me. People have gotten so thin skinned these days. Next time, maybe request someone who is bigger and stronger instead of specifying gender? There are some diminutive men...

    No longer conducting drug tests

    Emergent replied to oldie's topic in General Nursing

    If certain drugs, such as opiates, are dangerous to use while working, why are they allowed with a prescription? Yet someone who smoked a joint a week ago can get stuck into onerous and expensive...

    No longer conducting drug tests

    Emergent replied to oldie's topic in General Nursing

    The problem with drug testing is that, one can show up positive for substances taken over the weekend, off the job. Also, most standard drug screens do not include drugs that are taken by people, such...

    Post COVID-19: How Do We Lead Nurses in the New Normal?

    Emergent replied to EOC's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Some excellent nurses can't tolerate suffocating masks for 12 hrs straight. Get rid of that requirement and there might be a change. Meanwhile, I'll keep my job at the data center build, where I get...

    Is it possible to be a decent nurse if I'm a sociopath or have antisocial personality disorder?

    Yeah, that's a weird kinda crazy

    Is it possible to be a decent nurse if I'm a sociopath or have antisocial personality disorder?

    Emergent replied to uniteddemclub's topic in General Nursing

    Emotional detachment is important in nursing. Studies have shown that nurses who are overly empathetic, have a higher rate of burnout. As long as you aren't slipping insulin into normal saline bags, I...

    How to answer this?

    Emergent replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in General Nursing

    They probably aren't looking for diversity in thoughts and ideas, but more along the lines of gender identity inclusiveness and celebration of non-white people's contributions to society. I...

    Are Fitness Trackers Replacing Routine Health Assessments?

    Emergent replied to Rebecca Minott's topic in General Nursing

    Fitness trackers seem to me to be a faddish gimmick. I doubt if they really have much impact on people's health. I also don't think someone has to be monitored constantly by a physician if they are...

    I’m in trouble with DSD at work and it’s killing me that I could be fired

    Emergent replied to uniteddemclub's topic in First Year After Licensure

    What's happening here is this DSD lady messed up, and didn't take responsibility for her papers properly. She irresponsibly handed them to a CNA who then informally gave them to you. Now the DSD is...

    Nurses Fired For Viral TikTok Video

    Emergent replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    'Venting' should be done in private, with a select audience. Some eyerolling about exasperating patients at the nurse's station is usually sufficient. Making a video, at work, with badges in...

    You're Right, It Is You: How do I get out of this career please?

    My advise is to look into occupational health nursing at a large construction site. You will get paid well to watch Netflix, catch a nap, and cheer on the awesome workers! Sometimes there will be...

    Alcohol in drug screen

    Emergent replied to court534's topic in General Nursing

    I seriously doubt that having two beers on your day off will affect your employment. They are usually looking for illegal drugs, and THC even if it is legal. I doubt if, even with the patriarchal...
