    President Biden thread

    Emergent replied to Beerman's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    This isn't the first time this has happened. Woodrow Wilson and Ronald Reagan come to mind. Obviously, the country keeps humming along, run by big corporations, special interests, etc......

    Nursing is Toxic Video

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    Despite the overly dramatic title, this is a very professionally presented video detailing the negative human dynamics of a new to the ICU orientee. This nurse really spells out the social realities...

    Being a nurse in Ohio with a medical marijuana card? HELP!!

    Emergent replied to Sunflower1700's topic in Nurses Recovery

    What is needed is a more accurate test for THC. It's ridiculous to limit the off duty, legal use by nurses. After all, if you were taking a pain pill that was legitimately prescribed, they wouldn't...

    My patient doesn't want to work with me at all and it's hurtful

    Emergent replied to dsaprog's topic in General Nursing

    You are going to have occasional faux pas that angers a patient. The best thing to do is to apologize as soon as possible. He might be a cranky old man, but as detailed above, you didn't read the...

    Going to work when you should of called out. What's your thoughts on this?

    Emergent replied to RUNNER87RCC's topic in General Nursing

    In Washington state, also, if you use needles and shoot up in a city park, all's well. Children don't need parks, homeless drug addicts

    Georgia law prohibits DNPs from using the term "doctor"

    Emergent replied to klone's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That was one thing that I liked when our hospital did it. When I brought a patient up from the ER, I was able to easily identify an RN. It's useful for more than the patients. Like someone said they...

    The 3 12s, 5 8s Debate

    Emergent replied to CCC_nursing's topic in General Nursing

    I am working 5 days a week now. It's a seasonal, non-nursing position, 99.9% stress-free, in the outdoor nursery/greenhouse of a local variety store. I'm retired from nursing, this is just for fun,...

    Any nurses file their own taxes? Turbo? h&r block?

    Emergent replied to Happytimes's topic in General Nursing

    Once you get set up in Turbo tax, it's pretty easy. I have 2 rental properties, and an investment account. It's user friendly. I opt for the minimal service. One year I got the extra advice option. I...

    Fascinating police interview. Opinions? This is a YouTube video. It touches on her addiction to Tramadol. It is heart-wrenching. Nurse interrogated after murdering

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    Emergent replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    It's a slap in the face to the family of the woman who died for her to be cashing in on this. It would be like a drunk driver who was convicted of vehicular manslaughter making money from giving...

    Signs of hospital closing?

    Emergent replied to slauren's topic in General Nursing

    One thing I advise you to do is to use up or cash out as much PTO as you can. The people who never took vacations, worked extra shifts, and were very loyal to their teams, got shafted. When the...

    Signs of hospital closing?

    Emergent replied to slauren's topic in General Nursing

    One sign of impending doom is if you see equipment disappearing. Right before they closed our Hospital, they were secretly moving anything valuable to their other campus, presumably to hide it from...

    Signs of hospital closing?

    Emergent replied to slauren's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I was laid off from a hospital that closed in 2020. It was originally a Catholic Hospital that was sold to a for-profit (HMA). The for profit appeared to be milking it for all it was, eliminating...

    Undiluted IV phenergan

    Emergent replied to Vicky Mabon's topic in General Nursing

    It's irritating to the veins, but we used to do it all the time back in the day. Then it was recommended to dilute, because it's a better practice. You shouldn't worry anymore. Hopefully the 500 mL...

    AI in nursing

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    This artificial intelligence thing is a real thing. I just sent a suggestion into RFD TV and I'm pretty sure the response I got was an artificial intelligence one. Someone has mentioned that there are...

    The overuse and misuse of PRN medications

    Emergent replied to xsummer12x's topic in General Nursing

    Are these controlled substances? If so, it is a sign of diversion when one nurse is giving way more controlled substances than

    Fentanyl Crisis

    Emergent posted a topic in Nursing News

    First of all, even the 2010 statistics are atrocious, let alone the 2021 ones. 100,000 people in the United States died of overdoses in 2021. This quote is from a BBC article on a recent death of a...
