    Too busy to care (for one another)?

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    I recently accepted a position at my Per Diem job and resigned my position at my former job, where I'll be staying Per Diem. My new job is in a tiny, lovely level 5 ER in a tourist town. The culture...

    An open letter to the #NursesUnite movement

    Emergent replied to disillusionedrn's topic in General Nursing

    I finally viewed the offensive commentary. I don't even know who these people are, the women on the show seemed lowbrow, coorifice, and obnoxious. I don't care what they think. The show appears to...

    Frugality thead:work less, spend less

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, not a hat person. I'm a careful person about money, but I do have my indulgences. I enjoy snowboarding, good beer, etc. My point is, a lot of people let money slip through their fingers....

    Thanks for posting this. I didn't know Brian, but obviously something went haywire in his mind to cause this. I hope people here can continue to be supportive with their

    "They may hire a private investigator..."

    Emergent replied to LittleTwinStars's topic in General Nursing

    This is another example of our out of hand, litigious society. All this drives our health care costs up. People expect medical miracles delivered with a smile. We are supposed to beat back the grim...

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Don't keep refinancing your house to fund fancy remodels, expensive toys, enabling adult children to live beyond their means, or any other dumb stuff. Instead pay off your house. NEVER COSIGN ON A...

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I was considering investing in a cheaper heating system. I currently have an electric furnace, not the most economical even with our relatively less expensive Pacific NW electricity. What do you...

    Relieved my daughter decided against nursing

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Amen and amen. Too many young people blow their parents money, and accrue debt, on 4 years of partying while getting a useless degree. My daughter tells me that half the students really don't belong...

    Relieved my daughter decided against nursing

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    My college aged daughter told me today that she's thinking of physical therapy as a major, instead of nursing. I told her, good, because nursing is going downhill, along with our medical system. She...

    Random Drug Testing

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    What do you think of it? The new for profit owners of one of the hospitals I work for is doing it. The staff nurses are exempt because of the union contract. I was talking to one of the house...

    Maternity discrimination

    Emergent replied to Kmendi's topic in General Nursing

    Why don't you use this as a natural break to give birth, bond with your newborn, and then look for a job. Doesn't that sound more pleasant than feeling discriminated against? If you are single, get...

    Please stop making that sound !

    Emergent replied to WhiteStockings's topic in General Nursing

    I used to be much more sensitive to sounds. I'm finding as I age my hearing is less acute, I'm more like a normal person now. I'm also prone to sensory overload generally, especially in loud social...

    Did anyone find nursing school challenging?

    Emergent replied to RNCoda's topic in General Nursing

    Your parents don't sound very encouraging. Wow, they should be proud of you for overcoming difficulties. Congratulations on passing. For me the academic aspect was not hard, but learning to function...

    Nursing Instructors Would Rather see You Fail than Succeed

    Emergent replied to pat8585's topic in General Students

    I hate to break it to you, but nurses ARE rank and file employees. Also, as unofficial Allnurses post critic, your post is rife with typos. Last, but not least, younger nurses can and do engage in...

    Late on interview.

    Emergent replied to nursefromcali's topic in General Nursing

    It's no crime to be late. But, if I have 10 applicants for a position, why would I hire the one with poorer time

    Should I go to my union rep?

    Emergent replied to lucier's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, you should be have the union rep accompany you. That's what they are for. It sounds like it is a disciplinary meeting. You have a right to reschedule the meeting so you can arrange for your rep...
