    "I've lived here all my life"

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    So, I've done four agency shifts in the local nursing home. I was on a different wing my last shift, and I struck up a conversation with one of the residents, a woman in her early sixties who is...

    Big issues at work

    Emergent replied to Lindsey Oldag's topic in General Nursing

    I recently did four LTC shifts after being out of nursing for a little bit, for an agency. All I can say is, you LTC nurses are amazing. I can't handle it. The workload is crushing, especially with...

    "I've lived here all my life"

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    It's just a regular nursing home. This woman has lived her whole life in this small town, and in the 1960s it must have been more of a general care home that also took in disabled children. Since I've...

    If I had been in this situation, I would have taken my turn, but not have sat in close proximity. Unfortunately, now your coworkers think you are a primadonna. You likely can cite the second...

    Nickname or legal name change

    Emergent replied to CalicoKitty's topic in General Nursing

    I doubt if it's DT's fault that you haven't gotten called. Interesting about names though. Try and see if you get better results with a different one and report

    Nickname or legal name change

    Emergent replied to CalicoKitty's topic in General Nursing

    I highly doubt that your name is holding you back. It's probably your age. Employers are less likely to want to invest in training someone who might be retiring soon. That's just the reality of the...

    Considering a school nurse position

    Emergent replied to Sapphirestarr's topic in School

    I'm doing sub nursing. I get great support from the nurse in charge, and school staff. This school district sends the sub to the pre-K and kindergarten campuses no matter which campus has a nurse out....

    I decided to try school nurse substituting again. I did it for one school year for a very small rural school district. The nurse was stationed right there in a very small attendance office, and it was...

    4th Year Nurse - Should I delete my tiktok content?

    Emergent replied to Stephen Curry's topic in General Students

    The government is getting set to ban tiktok in the United States. I read that just the other day. I think it's because China controls it, and they may be up to no good? I'm only familiar with it...

    I want a future where all nurses have science degrees and are not mean girls

    Emergent replied to RitzyCinnamonRoll's topic in Crusty Old Bats's Chatter

    Amen to that, I totally agree! Academia is sucking too much from our economy. Then, activists want the American taxpayer to write off debt that was pedaled to naive young people. How many of those...

    I was deemed an unsafe student in nursing school and it affects my confidence as a nurse now

    Emergent replied to dsaprog's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's hard for us to really judge this situation on an online forum. Maybe getting a counselor might be a good idea? That way, you could go into details that that are impossible to delve into...
