    Nursing for Intimate care for men

    Emergent replied to RNMikeMiller's topic in General Nursing

    I think the main things men are concerned or sensitive about are a) size and b) homosexuality related to having another male touch them there. I've had a few patients apologize for their small member,...

    Feel like I’m the only nurse going to lose there job during the pandemic! stressed out!

    Emergent replied to EDNURSE20's topic in General Nursing

    I think that you just need to communicate your needs to the new employer. Hospitals are desperate for staff. The only nurses who are getting decreased hours are OR nurses. I was talking to my travel...

    Crisis travel assignments for Covid-19?

    Emergent replied to JDougRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This is considered crisis pay. It's high risk. I'll be doing strictly COVID-19 suspected patients. I think anyone is free to quit their job and sign up for one of these contracts. Of course, that...

    Here in Washington state we are in crisis mode. The governor has shut down schools until the end of April. Our way of life is being totally changed. Gathering of large crowds over 250 people are...

    School and Other Closures to Control COVID-19 Pandemics

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I disagree that this is just an election-year ploy. In fact, I think the current president under reacted initially. In Italy the healthcare system is beyond capacity. Their ICUs are full. They are...

    Insubordination?

    Emergent replied to Raicho's topic in Nurse Management

    Probably, an easy thing to have done would have been to give her the supplies that you had fetched and let her take it from there. You could have just set them down next to her while she was sitting...

    Terminated the third week into my orientation

    Emergent replied to HippyHappyRN's topic in General Nursing

    The OP added the information that she wanted to video the termination. I think that may have been provocative, and maybe have triggered the cutting up of the badge. That, and other things described by...

    Emergent replied to HippyHappyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I started my career in LTC. The job market was poor when I graduated. When things changed, I moved into acute care. I explored various specialties and last 8 years were in the emergency room. I had a...

    Emergent replied to HippyHappyRN's topic in General Nursing

    That's the way it works on a forum. I've been thrashed if few times here. I choose just to withdraw and not paying any more attention to a thread that has gone awry. I don't know why you would want to...

    Emergent replied to HippyHappyRN's topic in General Nursing

    And, you can also be misinterpreting my analysis of your situation as being mean. You might be more sensitive than usual right now because of the stress of what you're going through. It could be that...

    Emergent replied to HippyHappyRN's topic in General Nursing

    One thing I've learned about this site is that it's a good representation of what is also happening in the real nursing workforce. I've learned a lot here just about what is going on in the minds of...

    Emergent replied to HippyHappyRN's topic in General Nursing

    You sound like a high school student, actually. Time to put your big girl panties on. This is real life. When your employer cuts up your badge in front of you, I think it's pretty obvious that you are...

    Emergent replied to HippyHappyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm curious if you've had a problem like this in the past? It's pretty bad oversleeping and missing work in the first few weeks of a new job. They understandably decided to cut their losses. I don't...
