    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...

    false accusations

    Emergent replied to stacydye222's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like you were less than tactful with, and a bit triggered by a demanding family. It also sounds like management is overreacting. The family went Karen on you, and quickly complained....

    Stupidly rounded up my GPA on my resume

    Emergent replied to sarahkate619's topic in General Nursing

    I echo the sentiment that your GPA is pretty unimportant. Your self-confidence and people skills are a lot more relevant. The fact that you passed your NCLEX is vital. Bedside nursing is very...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    Emergent replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    The problem with all these alerts is that the more you flash in front of someone, the more likely it is that they are going to tune them out. It's similar to alarm

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    Health at Any Size?

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I think, if there is emphasis on dietary changes, without the pressure of weight loss, then healthy weight loss will often naturally occur. There are many dietary paths to healthy eating, btw....
