    HELP! Threats to call BON!

    Emergent replied to Nechic01's topic in General Nursing

    You probably need to take legal action. For what it's worth, I had to evict a tenant who was a hoarder. She refused me entrance to inspect the property. I gave her due notice by voicemail, attempting...

    Scary ER RNs

    Emergent replied to applesxoranges's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I gather from your post that you are working in a small hospital that got bought into a bigger hospital chain. There are 2 ER nurses that are used to doing things the way they always were done. You...

    No call no show, and feeling terrible about it!

    Emergent replied to omha's topic in General Nursing

    Just check and double check from now on. I've made the opposite mistake a few times, showing up when I wasn't scheduled. Two sides of the same coin, which is not double checking your schedule. It's...

    I think I will give negative feedback

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    For the record, I think it's only natural for the surgical team to have some light banter among themselves. A better subject matter would have been "I think Russell Wilson is getting healthy again,...

    I think I will give negative feedback

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The surgery occurred in a city in my state where most people are liberal. I live in a part of the state with more diverse views. I have some good friends who voted for Trump, who are very reasonable,...

    Colleagues who hate patients

    Emergent posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    There are a couple of nurses I work with who seem to despise patients. One gal is exhausting to be around. They often put her in triage, she will literally give you an eye rolling negative assessment...

    Emergent replied to LDRN1893's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    First post on Allnurses? What a charged subject you chose, bullying by a Black person who will accuse you of racism if you complain . Call me skeptical .

    Our hospital pushed hard for random drug testing in our latest contract. The union gave in, in favor of some other items. They have started pulling people from their sfifts, escorting to employee...

    Emergent replied to anilechim's topic in General Students

    That was opening up a Pandora's box asking"What will a Trump presidency mean for healthcare professionals?". In the future I advise to stick to what the exam will be on. As far as being "horrified...

    Am I ill-suited to the ED?

    Emergent replied to FolksBtrippin's topic in Emergency

    If you can let go of your desire to address everything, you can adapt. There's nothing stopping you from quickly redressing a wound, in the ED we nurses don't wait for a Dr order to place a dressing,...

    This is a discussion board

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've noticed, some people like to come on a thread and pretty much say, 'you idiot, look it up', when someone brings up a topic. I want to remind people, this is a discussion board. I hope most...

    Emergent replied to rainbow09's topic in General Students

    I was told that maybe I shouldn't become a nurse when I drew up insulin for the first time, and the needle bent as I was drawing it up. That instructor was terrible. My hands were shaking, and I was...
