    Looking to move to a new state

    Emergent replied to babynursebri's topic in General Nursing

    If they have an opening they most certainly want to get someone up and running ASAP. Better to make a decision on what state to move to, obtain a license, then job hunt

    Women's Right to Choose

    Emergent replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going to chime in once here. Liberal European has much more restricted abortion laws. Most allow only up to 12 weeks. UK and Netherlands, the highest, up to 24 weeks. Portugal up to only 10...

    Home Genetic Testing - Should You?

    Emergent replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree. The quality of our upbringings has a profound effect on our mental health, just the same way the food we are fed affects our physical health. I also believe poor diets can negatively...

    Transgender man has stillbirth

    Emergent replied to DaveICURN's topic in General Nursing

    So, this is a woman who is becoming a man? But, still has a lady parts? And is engaging in sexual intercourse with men? So, is this person becoming a homosexual man? A bisexual man? I'm

    Moving California. Insight on pay scale etc?

    Emergent replied to Nurse4lifeNC's topic in General Nursing

    Don't move to California. I'm so glad I left. Don't believe what you see on TV! NC is awesome. My son lives in Asheville, it's gorgeous and has all the hip culture you could ask

    Home Genetic Testing - Should You?

    Emergent replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    Those concerns held me back for some time. But, think of it, your DNA can be gathered from a coffee mug. And, who really cares? We're not that important. Think about our ancestors, living in small...

    Home Genetic Testing - Should You?

    Emergent replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    It most certainly did, especially since I take after this side of my family more. I recommend everyone do this, it's fascinating. They study population groups and can pinpoint the parts if, in my...

    Difficulty with coworker

    Emergent replied to CommunityRNBSN's topic in General Nursing

    There's a other issue, you starting a thread here while at work about something that just happened. I think you should avoid that. Seriously, that's very ill

    Difficulty with coworker

    Emergent replied to CommunityRNBSN's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree. The OP shouldn't have to perform another's work to enable them to study on company

    Difficulty with coworker

    Emergent replied to CommunityRNBSN's topic in General Nursing

    I would report this and also start looking at job offerings. The MA's response was beyond absurd. It could very well be a symptom of an entrenched

    Placed a narcotic in a sharps bin before scanning it.

    Emergent replied to coldcore's topic in General Nursing

    Lots of people have done this accidentally with narcotics after wasting. You waste in the med room and chuck the vial in the sharps. Whoops! An occasional incident doesn't raise an alarm unless an...

    How do you handle touchy/feely coworkers?

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    Yesterday a new gal in our department did the old friendly pat on the back that I HATE. Why do people think this is acceptable? I tried to shrink away a bit, but, these types are oblivious. And, you...

    Over using sympathy card

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm wondering, have you all run into coworkers who appear to be overextending the grace period after a personal loss or life struggle? How long should the team pick up the slack or continue to be...

    How do you handle touchy/feely coworkers?

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I guess my conflict about this is, there are some people I am on occasional touching terms with. But this evolved over time. But, when someone gets familiar too quickly, it's intrusive and invasive...
