    Emergent replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I think a statistical analysis of outcomes would speak volumes over anecdotal stories. Does anyone have some concrete evidence

    Playing Cards

    Emergent replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Of course! My unit loves Bridge, and Crazy Eights. We have several games going at once. We get so tired from it all, we NEED extra

    Being bullied at work

    Emergent replied to Mariah2019's topic in General Nursing

    That's my interpretation. I basically think the word applies to African Americans who are perceived to be from places like housing projects. The image called to my mind from the opening statement were...

    What is One of the Most Memorable Moments in Your Nursing Career?

    Emergent replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    A very memorable day was my first night off orientation at a critical access hospital ICU, after having only previously worked med-surg. I was alone due staffing and census. I had an end stage, no...

    I think it means non-white and low class. If they were white, the correct term is 'trailer

    How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    How to pay for it remains the big question. I do think our system currently is bloated and beholden to commercial interests. Take away drug advertising and reductions in defensive medicine could...

    Being bullied at work

    Emergent replied to Mariah2019's topic in General Nursing

    Doesn't sound like the classiest place, frankly. The old LPNs sound like they are jealous of you because you're young, pretty and an RN. AND, being ghetto, they all probably feel uncomfortable around...

    Hydralazine question

    Emergent replied to CLP75's topic in Patient Medications

    I guess next time call the doctor. Maybe he can add a note to the order, give even if patient refuses BP. Usually there are parameters with hydralazine. The morning BP doesn't sound alarming, maybe he...

    NPR's take on RV

    Emergent replied to ruby_jane's topic in General Nursing

    In short, NPR is hardly the gold standard of stellar journalism. They are a gilded example of East Coast, Ivy Leagued elitism. Thank God they finally retired the insufferable Diane Rehm. She was a...

    Alexa, I need to go to the bathroom???

    Emergent replied to drkshadez's topic in General Nursing

    When patients ask me about the TV I answer that I don't know, I never watch TV at work. I tell them to start at channel 03 and press the up button to channel

    Essential Oil Diffusers

    Emergent replied to BluebellRN's topic in School

    Probably one of the parents is an essential oil marketer. She has a bunch of people under her whom she has brainwashed. Maybe the principal is a big customer. It's almost a cult

    NPR's take on RV

    Emergent replied to ruby_jane's topic in General Nursing

    I get the feeling that NPR often just interviews someone they met at a party for their features. I think their budget is constrained and 99% of their staff leans pretty far left. I love the 1-A show....

    "Poor Thing!"

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    The other day another day another nurse was assisting me placing a foley on a pathetically annoying and needy patient. Yes, she was really sick, but according to the sweet church ladies who...

    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    Emergent replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    If that what it takes to protect the public, so be it. It's obvious to me that the Tennessee BON is in need of serious reform. Also, Radonda is probably guilty of negligent homicide. I would advise...

    Yes. Initially I was against prosecution. I even made a $25 donation to the GoFundMe. After reviewing all the information provided by you and others, I decided that prosecution was necessary because...

    S.C. 5th Grader Dies After a Fight at School

    Emergent replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    Wow, that is a travesty. I'm a firm believer that schools need more discipline. Back in my day there was even an occasional paddling. There were no school shootings and a better behaved society....
