    Eaten Alive in the ED

    Emergent replied to MillennialNurse's topic in Emergency

    Wow! It sounds extremely toxic! Sometimes a department becomes dominated be a clique of bullies, and is irredeemable. Frankly, from your description, this sounds like such a

    Am I a bully?

    Emergent replied to haron54's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    There is no way we can evaluate you over the internet with this short, one sided story. Tone of voice and body language are too important in communication, and we can't see or hear you. I've seen...

    Travel nursing with a tiny house?

    Emergent replied to DeenieRN's topic in Travel

    They used to call tiny houses Mother-in-law cottages. Now they call them tiny houses and act like they are a totally new, rad concept. Very trendy, fun to look at on facebook, I agree. I have one on...

    New Rule: No work bags allowed in ER

    Emergent replied to DarknTwistyERRN's topic in Emergency

    I am getting sick of governing bodies of all sorts making sweeping, no tolerance rules because one person screwed up. It's ridiculous. We put up with this in all facets of life, from kindergartners...

    Frustrated and Unsure

    Emergent replied to ajlamb's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't make any rash decisions based on these feelings. I was terrified to even enter the patient's room my first clinical day. I hadn't worked in the medical field, I too was an excellent...

    Nurse Resigns by Sending 'I Quit' Cake to Her Employer

    Emergent replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    Here's an article about the hospital. It does sound like there is a morale problem, understaffing, and a failure to protect nurses from assaults. Western State Hospital struggles to keep jobs filled |...

    Emergent replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    Just looked her up on the WA State Provider search. She is an RN, first issue date 11/17/2015, she was born in 1983, she should know better than this foolishness at her

    Annoying Classmate Wants To Be Coworker

    Based on reading the original post, I'm surprised your friend got a 93% on that English paper. Frankly, you come across here as a bit childish and

    Nurses Humilated - Illinois

    Emergent replied to SuburbsGirl's topic in General Nursing

    They need a boot camp for management. No breaks, unreasonable patients and family members, ridiculous mandatory charting, 5 call lights going off at once, monitor alarms and bed alarms screeching as...

    $600 an hr to fill a shift?

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    Catchy title, and true, except that was a PA who negotiated that wage to fill an empty ER provider shift. The docs and mid-levels who staff my ER work for a company that contracts with the hospital....

    A Headache is not an emergency

    Emergent replied to Patient4life's topic in Emergency

    Migraine sufferers need help right away. It's not a life threatening emergency, but their suffering is profound. If a simple headache sufferer gets you this irrate, maybe another type of nursing would...

    $600 an hr to fill a shift?

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    That may be the case but, I think the unions could be more effective if they hardwired a simple cause:effect clause into contracts. There is a staffing matrix, management must be incentivized to...

    $600 an hr to fill a shift?

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Your point is my point. We have no way to disincentivize our employers from short staffing us. The PA I spoke with said that they try to make their employer pay dearly for not hiring another provider....

    Are there any gay nurses here?

    Wow, this man sounds disturbed and conflicted. It seems he was from a traditional upbringing, had homosexual leanings that were repressed. He also had anger issues, and a mood disorder, it sounds...

    Resignation in lieu of drug test? Is random testing the answer?

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    Recently, a nurse resigned instead of submitting to a drug test. The nurse was under suspicion for diverting. What do you think? Should a refusal and resignation be considered an admission of guilt...

    Are there any gay nurses here?

    Emergent replied to Rocknurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not gay, but I'm human. This was a crime against humanity. My heart is broken, and my heart goes out to the gay community, and all the families of the dead and
