    So Happy To Be Out Of Nursing

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    @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...

    Were you a bully in high school?

    Emergent replied to Koalified's topic in General Nursing

    I remember when I was in Nursery School, about 4 years old, there was an Asian little girl and I asked the teacher about her eyes. I think the teacher got real nervous, she said there's nothing...

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

    Emergent replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in General Nursing

    More authoritarian BS from Health Care entities. No different than the patriarchal nonsense from yesteryear that was imposed on (female) nurses, as if they were children. There's always something that...

    I Am Absolutely Miserable Because I Hate Being A Nurse

    Emergent replied to PerkyWallflower10's topic in General Nursing

    No job should drive you to be on antidepressants and anti-anxiety medication. I don't know why people think that is acceptable. So many nurses were not on these medicines until they got into nursing....

    Were you a bully in high school?

    Emergent replied to Koalified's topic in General Nursing

    I wasn't a bully and if someone tried to bully me I eventually stood up to them and they would back off. One boy in High School kept teasing me in Spanish class about something. Ignoring him didn't...

    Assigning Admissions Among Nursing Staff

    Emergent replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I personally believe that if people do not want to engage with silver bells, they should just move on to other threads instead of this passive-aggressive best wishes stuff. And, I want to say I really...

    Should I stay or should I go?

    Emergent replied to newbienursie's topic in General Nursing

    Start making an exit plan from nursing. It's basically the same everywhere, it's become a pretty lousy career. I talk to former colleagues and I don't think anything is ever going to change in nursing...

    Nursing Student Expelled After 'Insensitive' Assignment About Shooting

    Emergent replied to MaxAttack's topic in General Students

    It sounds like she is reckless, you really have to be more careful than that, especially in the University setting. If you are a nurse you have to keep those types of things to a very small circle of...

    Anyone taken a pay cut for sanity?

    Emergent replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    I recently quit nursing. I currently have 3 job possibilities. Ist one is as a cashier at a Farm Store. They like to hire semi-retired people like me, I heard that you can choose to work one or two...

    Advice please

    Emergent replied to NicKi0410's topic in General Nursing

    The new job is clearly better. Don't get suckered into "You are like a daughter to me". If you are like a daughter to him then he is a negligent father. Obviously he wasn't checking in with you all...

    Preceptor Made Me Feel Like I Should Leave Nursing

    If I were in your shoes I would leave. You say it has a reputation for doing this so it's not you it's the unit. Don't waste your time anymore and go to a healthier

    This terrible human fallout is because of the fact that the US is a militaristic nation, not defending freedom, but advancing the interests of multinational corporations. Meanwhile, individual...
