    Discovered a boo-boo on Social Media

    Emergent replied to mmc51264's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    So, you read something on Facebook and that makes you want to run to Daddy and tell. You were probably the kid who sucked up to the teacher at school, tatting on the other kids. It's an urge you can't...

    Complex Regional Pain Syndrome

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    Does anybody know more about this syndrome? Another patient at my OT session has this syndrome. It sounds like a positive feedback, sympathetic nerve loop that develops after an injury that causes...

    Nursing Instructors Would Rather see You Fail than Succeed

    Emergent replied to pat8585's topic in General Students

    Call a wambulance immediately. Right now! The OP has some new information that she's holding back. Her nursing instructor bound her with duct tape and demanded she work for the Mafia laundering drug...

    Discovered a boo-boo on Social Media

    Emergent replied to mmc51264's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    When I saw a coworker post something questionable on Facebook, I sent her a friendly message. I suggested that it might be wise to remove, that some busybody tattletale will report her. The Bible...

    58 years old - Am I too old to start nursing school??

    Emergent replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I'm 58. I personally wouldn't waste one minute in school at the exorbitant price they charge, on a degree that I'd only use a few years. I have too many other interesting ways to spend my time. But,...

    What is your most and least favourite area/specialty of nursing and why?

    Emergent replied to CaffeinePOQ4HPRN's topic in General Nursing

    Most favorite: Part time ER RN in outdoor oriented community, where coworkers give you fishing tips and advise on snowboarding gear. (My new gig) Least favorite: Drama filled workplace with entrenched...

    I think you are being an old fashioned tattle tale because you don't like the woman and want to get her in trouble. You're dressing it all up in high and noble motives, but I don't believe

    Love AN...Too much...Goodbye

    Emergent replied to AcuteHD's topic in General Nursing

    We'll see if he has self-discipline, lol. This thread is like that last piece of pie or cigarette. The road to Hell is paved with good intentions, my dear departed Mom used to

    Price of Patient Satisfaction

    Emergent replied to knoxnurse236's topic in General Nursing

    I actually thought the video wasn't bad. It's a general one aimed at all industries. I think, what he's saying has some validity. Small things done for our patients can make a big impact on their...

    Price of Patient Satisfaction

    Emergent replied to knoxnurse236's topic in General Nursing

    When the governmental entities base funding off satisfaction surveys, the public finds out and it feeds their sense of entitlement. It was a ridiculous idea in the first place. We already have a...

    Pray for our firefighters please

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'd like to ask for prayers for the Pacific NW in particular, and generally for the safety of firefighters everywhere. Also, that those who've been evacuated can cope, and those who've lost their...

    Mormon culture

    Emergent replied to XXXX5's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I think the main concern I've ever had as a nurse is the famous 'Mormon Underwear'. It's a sacred undergarment that should be left on at all times, if possible. Other than that, LDS folk are pretty...

    colleague does not want to take day off

    Emergent replied to bellefleur's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes older nurses work a lot of hours to build up their retirement funds, to bail out dysfunctional family members, to pay medical bills for an ailing spouse. I see a lot of nurses in their 60s...

    Over night family guests excluded for medical problems?

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    So, our facility is family/friend friendly, sometimes to a fault. We allow meth head boyfriends, etc and so forth, as long as there isn't a gender conflict in a shared room. Recently,the ER doc...

    Emergent replied to bellefleur's topic in General Nursing

    One of the cardinal signs of a diverting nurse is working constantly. 'Super Nurse' is part of the profile for a diverter. See the article below. Drug addiction among nurses: Confronting a quiet...

    Christian School and Atheism

    Emergent replied to applesxoranges's topic in General Students

    I have an idea. Let's force the Christian schools to be more secular and take those nasty beliefs behind closed doors where they belong. That'll make our nation more diverse and inclusive. Oh, I...

    Feeling Lost: Prestigious Nursing School Debt

    Emergent replied to seekinghappy's topic in General Students

    You are right to be afraid of this debt. Follow your gut, it's telling you that this is a big financial mistake. Get some of Dave Ramsey's books. You talk about leadership. That starts with wisdom....

    I'm upset and feel very disrespected.

    Emergent replied to KatFUTUREnurse's topic in General Students

    You sound like a very loving sister. Make sure she is motivated to do this schooling though. And doing things like making phone calls will help her to learn to navigate adult life. You can coach her...

    I'm upset and feel very disrespected.

    Emergent replied to KatFUTUREnurse's topic in General Students

    I love the way people come to Allnurses, post a thread like this, then disappear. Did the OP expect everyone to say "Oh, you poor dear, that mean man needs to be fired because that school won't be...
