    Strange CoWorker Stories

    Emergent replied to Adele_Michal7's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Back when I worked the swing shift at a small nursing home, we had this one gal who always came in late, and was super annoyingly talkative, easily distracted, always ranting about the injustices,...

    The Wisdom of Lurking

    Emergent replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    We don't know who these people are. There are a lot of unemployed losers out there who like to troll the Internet for kicks. Their whole goal is to start firestorms. Frankly, those threads are...

    Scripting sounds patronizing

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Do you want to rephrase that in a way to comply with our organization's mission statement? Repeat after me: "I'd be happy to help. I have the

    Scripting sounds patronizing

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I hate it when people say "Do want to..." . I didn't know it was scripting, I thought it was just lacking courtesy. When people ask me, I'll say "Well, no, I don't want to, actually. I would like to...

    Oh, she never conceded anything. She was absolutely certain she'd done the correct thing. She continued to argue her point, obviously trying to pacify me with empty

    Tell 'em , sorry, you guys suck compared to the other place that wants to hire me. Not only is it closer, but it's better than your crappy joint. You people are

    Dose calculations, new and old nurses.

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    Do all nurses know how to do dose calculations? I learned them in nursing school, I was wondering if some old and new nurses are still shaky on them. For instance, if the order reads "give 15 mg/kg...

    What would you do in this situation? (If you know it all ;) )

    Without going into potentially revealing detail, care was assumed, pt was heartily diuresed as per physician intent, and released from ER with script and attempts at pt

    What would you do in this situation? (If you know it all ;) )

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

    The doctor has not ordered any urine test. Sometimes ER nurses add an order when Dr is busy, hence one of my choices. The doctor signs off orders

    Comfortable living?

    Emergent replied to Kdao's topic in General Nursing

    For one thing, $500 on a car loan? Dave Ramsey would NOT be pleased. Secondly, you should be using half of your miscellaneous to pay off your car. You need a $1000 emergency fund, then pay off your...

    Struggles with getting a job after monitoring

    Emergent replied to greygirl81's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You definitely should discuss this. I also advise you to seek work in higher need areas of nursing, such as LTC. Don't waste time competing for harder to get employment until you have established a...

    Does my RACE matter when applying to Nursing Programs?

    Emergent replied to LinaJill123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Now folks on Facebook are posting the Confederate flag, and saying that they're never going to shop at Walmart again because Walmart won't be stocking them, and Walmart is tromping on their rights....

    Does my RACE matter when applying to Nursing Programs?

    Emergent replied to LinaJill123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Interesting thing about these types of threads is that posters will mention their race. Now, vintage mother I imagined being a hippieish older white woman who wears vintage clothing and lives in a...

    Does my RACE matter when applying to Nursing Programs?

    Emergent replied to LinaJill123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The race in all caps is a great way to get the discussion going. Think of it as good marketing. The OP hasn't been inflammatory at all, nor has anyone else, for that matter. It's been an intelligent,...

    Does my RACE matter when applying to Nursing Programs?

    Emergent replied to LinaJill123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I totally agree. I don't favor affirmative action, it is just discrimination in reverse and sows resentment. My daughter's friend was one fourth Mexican, a blue-eyed blond actually. She always put...

    Does my RACE matter when applying to Nursing Programs?

    Emergent replied to LinaJill123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A lot of schools will favor a qualified, non-white student. Aren't conservatives always saying that the higher education system is dominated by the left? There is some basis for that claim, actually....
