    Emergent replied to NurseBee22's topic in General Nursing

    Crushing Burden of Regulatory Compliance on Healthcare

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I told the scheduler that 4 days a month would be a good base for me. I'll sometimes pick up extra, but I'm going to concentrate on developing my art furniture, with nursing being a side gig from now...

    I have no medical experience except my BSN, will I still get a RN job?

    Emergent replied to emily_daniels54's topic in Nursing Career

    You are not going to have any time for yourself at this point in your life. I think it's smart that you got a job in the medical field. That is what I did after my first semester of nursing school. I...

    Crushing Burden of Regulatory Compliance on Healthcare

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    It has gotten beyond the pale. Covid exacerbated an existing problem 10 fold. My facility was preparing for a big survey and accreditation. The things that became urgent were ridiculous....

    Another thing is, it doesn't seem like these masks are going away. I personally feel like the materials in the masks are microfibers that are dangerous to inhale. I got the vaccine, I did it for...

    Crushing Burden of Regulatory Compliance on Healthcare

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I think I am getting ready to bow out and just get a part-time job somewhere. I have my finances in pretty good order generally. I'm in demand but I feel like I have reached optimal crispiness, and am...

    What games DO you play? (On your break, of course)

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    One thing funny about the card thing was, how retro can you get? That lady is behind the times in a big way. Wasting time playing Candy Crush instead of answering a call light? It's probably happened...

    How should I move forward?

    Emergent replied to jrb1201's topic in General Nursing

    Perfect advice @JKL33 Lots of people have the same challenges regarding on call requirements. Either it works for you or it doesn't. There are plenty of OB units that don't require it I think. It...

    New nurse feeling like she made a mistake in transferring to the NICU/CCN

    Emergent replied to Nurse12390's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It sounds like a cruddy unit with an entrenched toxic culture. Probably not much hope for improvement. You sound like a well adjusted person who is not being a drama queen. If I were you I would find...

    Emergent replied to peds_luv's topic in General Nursing

    Totally coincidental to my son moving to New Mexico, I lived there for two years with my first husband back in 1977-79. My first son was born there with the help of a lay Midwife named Elsie Sanchez....

    My son lives in Sandia Park, which is about the half hour drive to Albuquerque. He's up near 7,000 ft elevation. I go there at least once a year since I have a couple of grandkids there too. I...

    Emergent replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    Try to cultivate a spirit of detachment as much as possible. Also realize that you are human and will sometimes cry with/for people, it's OK. Just train yourself to work through it quickly. Don't...

    I am cutting back my hours next month. I'm starting to feel a little burnt out from all the drama in healthcare. If I live through another policy change, that will be a miracle. The volume of emails...
