    I Think I'm Done With Nursing

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I'm thinking that I'll be all rested to pick up a shorter contract this Winter in the midst of the Covid crisis. I definitely am done with where I was working. This LOA is really coming along nicely....

    "Not a Good FIT"

    Emergent replied to Tomboytammy's topic in General Nursing

    A lot of clinics are very cliquey. You definitely have to be a good fit with their peculiar culture that they've developed. When you work with a larger pool of people it's easier to get lost in the...

    Why Do New Grads Lack Critical Thinking Skills?

    Emergent replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I don't understand the rationale of denying nursing students access to clinical sites. They are a vital part of the fabric of our medical system. That was very short-sighted of the rule makers to ban...

    Why Do New Grads Lack Critical Thinking Skills?

    Emergent replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    There are so many snot-nosed, whiney, entitled baby-boomers, it's unreal. Yep, my generation. I know all 6 of my adult offspring stand on their own 2 feet very well. I wasn't a smother-mother at...

    Why Do New Grads Lack Critical Thinking Skills?

    Emergent replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    A lot of young people have grown up in a pressure cooker. The millennial generation has had challenges that my generation definitely didn't. I think it's a generalization to paint all younger people...

    New Job, Lost Orientation Packet

    Emergent replied to guest1143647's topic in General Nursing

    LOL, so true. There are a million other reasons why not to work in nursing in my opinion. It is a brutal, thankless profession where we are expected to be endlessly tolerant and compassionate, and we...

    How to Give Constructive Feedback

    Emergent replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    It's very difficult to get a lifelong non-punctual person to change their ways, just sayin'. Someone should have nipped that in the bud years ago like my mother and teachers did with me....

    Questions about getting fired?

    Emergent replied to pecantreechipmunk's topic in General Nursing

    A lot of her job is being interested in the potential customer, expressing concern, all of the attributes that help nurses interact with patients. I have heard her talk to people when she came for a...

    I Think I'm Done With Nursing

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    As for me, I am enjoying my time off to reflect and recreate. I'm not sure if I'm going to continue with anything in the medical field, I haven't come to a conclusion about that. Whenever I think of...

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Bad Nurse Judgement

    Emergent replied to MajesticDancer's topic in General Nursing

    What I find puzzling is when people fail to say anything in the moment, such as these EKG techs who did not utter a word to you that they would like you to stay. Then they make a tattletale complaint....

    Bad Nurse Judgement

    Emergent replied to MajesticDancer's topic in General Nursing

    I would not dwell on this too much. If they want you to do things differently next time you can have them clarify their policies and procedures. Hopefully you documented well, and it sounds like the...
