    Emergent replied to Sara Matsuura RN's topic in General Nursing

    I raise sheep on my pastures and eat their children. I am in an incredibly good state of health. I eat very little sugar, homegrown veggies during the growing months, and a low carb, high-fat diet,...

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

    I'm going to 4 shifts a month. I will be semi-retired soon. Between other investments and my debt-free status, that will be enough. So sick of the

    Getting Fired

    Emergent replied to Mcl1980's topic in General Nursing

    It kind of sounds like nursing is not suitable for your temperament. There is no shame in that. I've been a nurse almost 30 years and I'm sick of it, and recommend that people find other avenues. The...

    You can apply that principle to any of many other things... - eating a high sugar diet leads to obesity and diabetes. That is a known fact. ‐ smoking causes cancer, heart disease, COPD...

    Living with a semi anti-vax husband.

    Emergent replied to reedy22's topic in General Nursing

    If this is a deal-breaker, get a divorce. Your healthcare philosophies are incompatible. If he is otherwise a fantastic friend, lover, provider, companion, then come to peace about

    when do you think hospitals will go back to not requiring masks?

    Emergent replied to J89Mike's topic in General Nursing

    I'm very claustrophobic about masks, and the fact that nobody cares about claustrophobic people anymore irks me. It is very stressful for me to wear a mask, it is one of the reasons why I'm backing...

    Crushing Burden of Regulatory Compliance on Healthcare

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    LOL, the folks in DC are a huge part of the problem. They have no idea how to dismantle a useless program or mandate. This problem is not going to get solved, it is going to get worse. The people in...

    Disagree with physician about restraining a patient

    Emergent replied to palila's topic in General Nursing

    If people don't want to cooperate, I say let them do what they want. As long as they are not hurting other people they should proceed to be able to live a self-destructive lifestyle. People like...

    Scolded For Prioritizing Emergent Situations Over Routine Meetings

    Emergent replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I think that systems have gotten so out of balance. I think I'm sick of Nursing. It's getting ridiculous. I'm so fed up with charting systems, nonsensical protocols, regulatory hyperdrive. I want to...

    Crushing Burden of Regulatory Compliance on Healthcare

    Emergent replied to Bettyloublu14's topic in General Nursing

    Both of my daughters are selling life insurance. I'm so glad they didn't go into nursing like they had originally planned. The older one has been doing it about a year and a half and is now on...

    Crushing Burden of Regulatory Compliance on Healthcare

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    On the other end of it, I remember getting discharged from the hospital a few years ago. My DC instructions were cluttered with non-pertinent info, like smoking cessation (I don't smoke) and other...
