    Is 6 times a day too many to visit a favorite patient who isn’t on your caseload?

    Emergent replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think the OP is insane. She recognized that she was getting drawn in too much emotionally, came here for advice, and willingly received it. I think hurling around derogatives like that...

    New Nurse - unhappy with first job

    Emergent replied to Flashsomefang's topic in General Nursing

    Stick it out until you have passed NCLEX and have another job lined up. You're lucky to be able to work before NCLEX. Hopefully soon the economy will get going. The hospitals will be inundated with...

    Public health officials fighting Covid-19 virus face growing threats, get security details

    Emergent replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    There is a legitimate debate going on over the necessity of lockdown vs the deleterious effects on the economy. People like me, who are more on the side of allowing herd immunity to occur naturally,...

    Is 6 times a day too many to visit a favorite patient who isn’t on your caseload?

    Emergent replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    One thing staff would do with Edna (she was a favorite of many), was to spend their lunch break with her. It was a 60 bed nursing home in a small, rural area where Edna had lived her whole life. She...

    No Scott Toilet Paper?

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Every time I go to the store I'm buying a few things extra to stockpile. I will look and see what is on sale. I bought a tub of lard, dried beans, canned chili, beer and wine. I have a freezer full of...

    Is 6 times a day too many to visit a favorite patient who isn’t on your caseload?

    Emergent replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I get it. I loved Edna, years ago. But you can't let it affect your duties. Edna became a surrogate grandma for my little girls, 2 and 4, whose father had died. We would visit her, on our own time....

    Does Trump have Covid?

    I think he probably does. He's probably taking that drug, not to prevent, but to treat the

    Should Social Media shut down Conspiracy Theories?

    Dismantling the Police?

    Emergent posted a topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    How does this work? Doesn't it open the door to anarchy? Won't the lawless segment of society take full advantage? Here in my state, just with this virus scare, drivers thought they wouldn't get...

    Black Lives Matter Protests and Medical Care

    Emergent replied to Chris___RN's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, I doubt that in all this chaos that anyone is worried about you. People are looting and destroying, authorities aren't worried about a concerned, peaceful citizen. The government has its...

    When Your Preceptee is a Know-it-All

    Emergent replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I agree on the social skill coaching. Let's take the example of a new nurse who really does know a lot. He or she needs to have some finesse when bringing something to the attention of those in the...

    Obesity a huge factor

    Nursys e-Notify

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have no idea why I keep getting these emails from them. I have no reason to visit that site, but they're always prodding me to go there. I pay the ever-increasing fees to my Board of Nursing, and...

    Protection During the Resurgence

    You mean, will the government borrow more money in order to fund grandiose programs it can't afford, while our economy

    Will Trump try to declare Martial Law?

    Emergent posted a topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    What do you all think? You probably know that I am critical of the breakdown of the economy due to the lockdown. That seems to be more of a Democratic agenda, to shut down the economy. On the other...

    Former MN police officer Derek Chauvin charged with second-degree murder; three other officers face charges

    As reprehensible as this whole thing was, I'm sure if it meets the legal criteria for second-degree murder. I'm glad they were all

    Debate by link

    Emergent posted a topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    First of all, I really don't get into these long drawn debates here. They seem to be pointless. I even had to put somebody on ignore who kept quoting me, and seemed to be almost stalking me in order...

    Will Protests Lead to More COVID Surges?

    Emergent replied to adventure_rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Basically, the stay-at-home orders and lockdowns have contributed to this whole volatile situation. Everybody is on edge. Then you have a cop who undoubtedly was already hateful and burnt out. He has...

    WHO guidance: Healthy people should wear masks only when 'taking care of' coronavirus patients

    Role of Unions in keeping bad cops

    Emergent posted a topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Obviously, that cop was temperamentally unsuitable for the work. Being a cop, especially in an inner city, requires patience and tact. The burn out must be incredible. Any ER nurse can tell you,...
