    Are You Wanting to Leave Your Nursing Job? Feel Guilty? What Should You Do?

    Emergent replied to Nursing CE Central's topic in General Nursing

    The seems like the patronizing article, as if nurses are all called to serve humanity and will feel guilty if they leave jobs that totally stress them out. We are the handmaidens of healthcare,...

    Does Nursing Cause Weight Gain?

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've been really busy since I quit nursing in July. I also have lost 7 lbs and didn't even realize it until yesterday when I weighed myself for the first time in a while. I've been doing lots of...

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    So Happy To Be Out Of Nursing

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I plan on working my very part-time schedule until I get too old. According to the lady who told me about the job, it's very easy and low stress and the bosses are the nicest people. The store has a...

    Big Med Error.

    Emergent replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in General Nursing

    With all the pressures on nurses these days, I'm not surprised if some are making big errors. I feel for you and know that you will pick yourself up and carry

    Were you a bully in high school?

    Emergent replied to Koalified's topic in General Nursing

    A forceful response to unprovoked bullying is NOT bullying. It is a justifiable defensive

    Is Anonymity Important to You?

    Emergent replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    I got the vaccine, that is not why I left nursing. However, My philosophy is fully libertarian and I support the choices of others even when I disagree with

    I called in sick today, they didn't accept it.

    Emergent replied to Leonardo Del Toro's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure glad that I got out of nursing when I did. They would have to put me in a straight jacket I think. I think those useless ones need to learn how to do patient care again. On a scale from 1 to...

    Newborn Dies After Ransomware Attack On Hospital

    Emergent replied to MunoRN's topic in General Nursing

    My first child was born at home with a lay Midwife in New Mexico, Elsie Sanchez. His cord was wrapped around his neck three times and she handled it just fine. Maybe if they open their eyes and...

    Is Anonymity Important to You?

    Emergent replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    All they have to do is use a search option and put in "Wrong-way Medical Center" I'm also pretty sure that big corporations have more sophisticated software to scan the internet for incriminating...

    The Failure of Modern Healthcare due to Administration

    Emergent replied to FlameHeart's topic in General Nursing

    The Japanese way of life is much healthier than that of Americans. I'm pretty certain they are much more physically active and I know for certain that they eat a far healthier diet. They also have a...

    Is Anonymity Important to You?

    Emergent replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    I think the important thing here is just to be careful what you say. Some posters give too many details when they describe situations in their workplace that aggravate

    The Failure of Modern Healthcare due to Administration

    Emergent replied to FlameHeart's topic in General Nursing

    The opening post was way too long for me to read with my short attention span. I would never work as a CNA in a nursing home. It's a depressing place, and it is unrealistic that you can adequately...

    Were you a bully in high school?

    Speaking of Brad Pitt, there used to be a naked photo of him online taken by a paparazzi by his pool. Maybe it was cold out that day, but we were not

    Does Nursing Cause Weight Gain?

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I think I was skipping a lot of meals because I was going Full Steam on some projects. I went from 130 lb to 123. I was shocked. I was doing a lot of processing and dealing with some PTSD type...

    Does Nursing Cause Weight Gain?

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I actually wasn't a bit overweight, so I was a little concerned. I don't want to keep losing because then I would get to be

    Were you a bully in high school?

    Emergent replied to Koalified's topic in General Nursing

    By the way, I grew up in the 1960s and 70s, and we had bullies back then. It's not some new term made up by a bunch of snowflakes. There really are bullies in the

    @Davey Do Say hi to Belinda! Now that I am close to finishing up my processing of my nursing career, I am fully embracing my nursing free life. I can't tell you how freeing it is to be rid...

    Weird Question: Are All Hospital Nurses Wearing Scrub Caps Now?

    Emergent replied to K. Everly's topic in General Nursing

    I was wearing them, I like to wear scarves and hats all the time anyway so they fit right in with my personality. The buttons on the sides make the masks slightly less unbearable, you don't get a...

    Is Anonymity Important to You?

    Emergent replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, to a point. But, I've revealed enough about myself here that would definitely give me away to someone who knows me. Now that I'm out of Nursing, it's less

    I feel like I'm a bad nurse

    Emergent replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe you should see a counselor and talk about your feelings. It might be that you are amplifying things in your mind. If you hate nursing you should find a better career, nursing is pretty...

    Do you ever feel guilty on your days off (not sick days)?

    Emergent replied to Ele_phant's topic in General Nursing

    Of course not. I don't know why anybody would feel guilty on their days off. Honestly, I think that indicates that you need psychological help. It's just not healthy sounding at

    Tobacco free environment and testing for nicotine. Lawful? Thoughts?

    Emergent replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in General Nursing

    I do agree that it is sensible to charge tobacco smokers more for insurance. But, some hospitals do deny employment. It's some sort of left-wing new puritanism I think. They would never do that to fat...
