    Robot tells man he'll be dead in hours

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I remember when the doctor told me my husband was hopeless but we could try a day on the ventilator (They weren't supposed to intubate in the first place, he was a no code), it was in person. His...

    Why working as an ED nurse so competitive?

    Emergent replied to ScaredRN's topic in Emergency

    That's because, the ED is fun, entertaining and glamorous. I noticed that when I switched to ER, I got some more street cred respect. It's considered the coolest job in nursing I

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I know about the antibiotic use because I used to float to OB years ago and would hang the antibiotics on moms in early labor. It was explained to me by the OB nurses that in the days of shorter...

    My son's stepdaughter had a catastrophic reaction to the 4 month old vaccines. The docs are under pressure to meet benchmarks and pressured the vaccines even though she was a little sick, with a mild...

    @DaniannaRN Actually, getting the tetorifice vaccine only protects the person who gets the vaccine. I do agree with what you are saying, other than the name

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    In my opinion, calling people nutters doesn't elevate the conversation. These people are concerned about their children. Unfortunately, drug companies are sometimes unethical and many people are...

    Should 40 year old mom become a psych NP?

    Emergent replied to HetherV's topic in General Nursing

    I went to nursing school with 4 school age kids. You can always take your study material to a park or the beach, so they get an outing and you can study. Of course, they have to learn to be respectful...

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    You could say the same about a lot of bad health decisions. Smoking, over eating, risk taking, drinking and driving, the list is long. It's easy to point fingers at other foolish people, just to...

    Juggling Multiple PRN Jobs

    I just dropped my Per Diem job after getting a threatening email. The new DNS is a rude woman and decided to lower the hammer. One problem with more than one job is the education requirements. These...

    Everyone thinks they have the measles

    I've had many parents bring their kids into the ER lately with suspected measles. No fever, and it seems like the 'rash' is barely perceptible to the naked eye. Yes, there is a measles outbreak in...
