    Crushing Burden of Regulatory Compliance on Healthcare

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    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...

    Dealing with patient death

    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...

    Emergent replied to Lovethenurse2b25's topic in General Nursing

    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...

    Emergent replied to hama1111's topic in General Nursing

    By the way, the OP gave us a description of the offender, which included her age. First of all, most nurses in that type of position are older. I think everyone might be better off getting over...
