    Unprofessional Clinical Educator.. What would you do?

    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...

    BSN - no experience and lots of children

    Emergent replied to kat1822's topic in General Nursing

    I worked in a nursing home as my first job, and when my youngest was 16 months old my husband died of cancer. I weaned my baby right before her second birthday and started picking up a shift or two a...

    Trying to get ready for the NCLEX while grieving my husband

    Emergent replied to Midlife452's topic in General Nursing

    My advice is to study in 15 minute blocks, rewarded by ½ hr of pleasurable activity. Studies have proven that studying should be short periods of time for better retention. Eat healthy and get...

    What’s a Crusty Old Bat?

    Emergent replied to Hannahbanana's topic in General Nursing

    RubyVee was the head of the old bat society. She's rarely posting any more. She could definitely be quite blunt and really offend the snowflake contingent. It made for entertaining

    BSN - no experience and lots of children

    Emergent replied to kat1822's topic in General Nursing

    Once the baby is old enough that you feel comfortable, get a part-time nursing job of any type, with the hours that work for you. See where that leads you. When the job market is brisk is the time to...

    Emergent replied to hama1111's topic in General Nursing

    Probably because she is a mean, old biddy who reminds her of bossy Aunt Bertha. She probably has chin hairs too, and a cheap dye job on her hair, plus saggy upper arms.

    Tired of Being a Nurse

    Emergent replied to Esanity's topic in General Nursing

    Both my daughters are doing well selling insurance. They now get to work from home. If you have good people skills you can do very well. It's a more organic process advancing in that you don't...

    Social Skills Should Be a Bigger Focus in Nursing School

    Emergent replied to Kenneth S. Veillon's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not an Instagram or Tik Tok or Twitter follower. I don't follow any opinion blogs except a little Z-Dogg and JB Sears, and even that is limited. I'm just an intelligent person who has made...

    Social Skills Should Be a Bigger Focus in Nursing School

    Emergent replied to Kenneth S. Veillon's topic in General Nursing

    I was just putting the idea out there, I kind of suspect that Academia would not do a good job of it. They seem to be on the victimology train for the most part. There is a lot of shallow thinking in...

    Social Skills Should Be a Bigger Focus in Nursing School

    Emergent replied to Kenneth S. Veillon's topic in General Nursing

    I interpreted the OPs opening post as meaning the nursing students need guidance into the social dynamics of the nursing workplace. I think what we see often is new nurses either overly confident...

    Social Skills Should Be a Bigger Focus in Nursing School

    Emergent replied to Kenneth S. Veillon's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree with those who think that this couldn't be taught. It might take some time for those teachings to take root in someone's life, but social coaching would be invaluable to many. I've...

    Social Skills Should Be a Bigger Focus in Nursing School

    Emergent replied to Kenneth S. Veillon's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, there should be units on etiquette and conflict resolution. Also, sociological information regarding various cultures in nursing should be included in the curriculum. When I was in...

    New nurse. Where is my passion?

    Emergent replied to Jccnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I wholeheartedly and completely agree with this statement. That's not to say that you shouldn't look for a specialty of nursing that particularly suits your strengths, and that you will...

    Husband Died—Looking For Low Stress Job Recommendations

    Emergent replied to Midlife452's topic in General Nursing

    My situation was very different than the OP because I had kids. Basically, I figured it out as I went along. I was still breastfeeding a toddler, had a preschooler, and older kids to help out. I...

    Is being greedy by taking lots of shifts bad?

    Emergent replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Don't fall into the trap of work work work, then spend spend spend. I know a great gal who does that, then will mention how she and her husband have debt. What they have is spending addiction....

    "Thank you for your service"

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    When people find out I'm a nurse these days, they keep thanking me for my service, like they do to the military. I want to roll my eyes at this point. Is this happening to
