    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?

    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...

    Is this mocking patients?

    They definitely deserve to be fired. That is incredibly poor judgment. I hope they learn from this incident, and grow, and

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

    Emergent replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    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...

    Staff Treating Patients Poorly Or Am I Too Sensitive

    Emergent replied to Guest1201992's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like a very burnt out, negative group of people working with extremely challenging patients. I hope you find something better soon. Good

    Munchausen by Proxy Murder

    I just finished the Hulu miniseries The Act. It is a fascinating and well done show about a girl who was medically abused by her mother. The mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, hoodwinked medical doctors,...

    Is social media clamping down on alternative healthcare ideas?

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've noticed a plethora of threads here lately, full of angst about alternative ideas about health maintenance available on the internet. They don't want "disinformation" disseminated. I find...

    Munchausen by Proxy Murder

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure she became extremely warped growing up the way she did. When she was older she realized that they were scamming people but was so under her mother's control. It's kind of like the Stockholm...

    I had viewed a Kendal Rae true crime episode about the case, but this miniseries really went in depth. The acting was superb. Hopefully this will make the medical community more cautious when...
