    Knowledge Hoarders in Workplace

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    My new job has a gal who has worked there over 20 years, her whole career in fact. She's not well liked because she's difficult to work with. I only interact with her at shift change. The current...

    Hospital that bans family members

    Emergent replied to paramedic-RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yeah, let's ban the nearest and dearest from their loved one's side because they annoy us. We'd all appreciate that when those we care for are

    Emergent replied to Harlowe's topic in General Nursing

    Your life sounds stressful! Congratulations on making it through school with such small ones. One thing about parents is that they are motivated to keep a job. I'm a landlady, and I much prefer a...

    Rules for Per Diems

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    Do your facilities have minimum requirements for Per Diem employees? If so, are they enforced? Several nurses quit my last job, but stayed Per Diem, including me. The department is short staffed and...

    You stalk me? Surprising. I'm rather boring around

    Do you stalk anyone here?

    Emergent replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I just noticed this. I am disinterested, generally, in the personalities here. I am not a part of a group or clique. I get confused as to who is who. No one PMs me. I think I am generally respected,...

    Is this legal?

    Emergent replied to nursemeem624's topic in Private Duty

    This is why I disliked home care. Many of the families are difficult. You're on their turf, and people get crazy and micromanaging with caregivers of a loved one with a chronic

    Emergent replied to ahud2015's topic in Pediatric

    When my parents got divorced when I was 7, my Mom had to find a job. She had previously been a high school teacher before kids. At the time there were no teaching jobs available in the LA school...

    Question regarding where I stand with my job (long, but with paragraphs!)

    Emergent replied to Alisonisayoshi's topic in General Nursing

    You may be right, but as a new member of this group, and a new grad, you will be viewed as a pushy young upstart by your behavior in this incident. And never forget, a unit secretary can make or...

    could get fired!

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

    You daughter gave in to peer pressure. It's probably not the first time that's happened to her. Her weakness is a huge liability for any organization. She also violated several codes of ethics and no...

    Is it bad that I got over failing a class in like 3 days?

    Emergent replied to alie46's topic in General Students

    I know 'like' is used commonly in colloquial speech. But, we need to write better than we speak. Would you put 'um' or 'you know' in your writing? 'Like' is a filler word too. You even used like in...

    ACLS should always be 2 days and in person!

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm of strong opinion that courses like ACLS should NEVER be taught via a computer program. Worksheets, reading materials, practice tests are okay, but not the course itself. I also feel strongly...

    Depression from nursing, looking for input?

    Emergent replied to GuvnerH's topic in Health, Stress Management

    How sad that a nursing job can suck so badly that meds might be necessary in order to tolerate it. My advise is to try another unit or specialty. Also, maybe start laying the groundwork for an exit...
