    Emergent replied to ThatBLURN's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting, I sent the OP a private message about a sure job in a different part of WA that she might consider. No courtesy of a reply. I think she started this thread just to whine and

    My post-polio patient

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a libertarian about vaccines, but I think those who buy into the conspiracy theories about them are woefully ignorant about the diseases they have virtually eliminated. McDonald's, Burger King,...

    Emergent posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    I foresee one positive from this covid will be the downfall of a corrupt educational system. Public, private educational systems have drained an enormous amount of our economy in the last 20 years....

    Transgender nurses?

    Emergent replied to munkyfusic's topic in General Nursing

    Just be a good nurse and respectful and nice to your coworkers. Don't make a huge deal about your status as a transgender person. Just do your job well, and be a great co-worker. I assumed once you...

    What to do about an abusive parent, home health

    Emergent replied to MAS's topic in Home Health

    I'm sure the agency is well aware of this women's abusive nature. Their goal is to satisfy the client and make money. They are not interested in mediating, or bringing truth and justice, or solving...

    Harming Ourselves and the Planet?

    Radonda Vaught Fatal Error Case Timeline

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    My intuition about Radonda is that she was that gal at school, who always attempted to obtain answers to homework from her classmates. She knows how to ingratiate herself to others. She has a lot of...

    Nurses and narcotics

    She sounds very sketchy. She's likely a diverter from what you describe. You should keep a log of all this. Dates, times, quotes, etc. What you describe is

    Will Covid cause huge transfer of wealth out of hands of middle class?

    Emergent posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    I foresee a bleak future for the middle and working classes in America. The government relief efforts I've already proven inadequate. Opportunists will swoop down to buy up foreclosed on real estate,...

    The road not taken. my RN midlife crisis.

    Emergent replied to IRN2011's topic in General Nursing

    It's not rude to give advice, when asked. I agree with @Been there,done that, enjoy life and start your family. Don't get so goal oriented that you become consumed. You sound like a really great guy...

    Emergent replied to justjRN's topic in General Nursing

    I've found that ICU nurses are generally better about researching patients ahead of time on the computer before I call for report. They are very detail oriented as a rule. The hospital where I did...

    A friend of mine has a son who is a missionary in Africa. I don't remember which country, it's a rural, underdeveloped area. They are now afraid of Whites, since they consider Europeans and Americans...

    Covid-19 Vaccine Trials in South Africa: Another Tuskegee? #Black Lives Matter Around the World

    Emergent replied to simba and mufasa's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Are they being paid? I know here in the US, people get paid to participate in trials. I'll bet the going rate is cheaper in Africa. These pharmaceutical companies are all about profit! Are they being...

    Emergent replied to justjRN's topic in General Nursing

    This is an important point that nurses on the inpatient side of the hospital often don't understand. In the emergency room there are a lot of different shifts, not just 7 to 7 ones. You could start...

    I wonder if these people are being paid, or are volunteering? It does sound suspect for French researchers to be using poor people in Africa as Guinea Pigs. Remember, though, South Africa is a...

    Emergent replied to justjRN's topic in General Nursing

    The remedy is to get on the computer while in the patient's room. I am a big believer in doing charting in the room, when possible. It's good time management and allows you to spend more time with the...
