    Hospital Bosses Ignored Months of Doctors' Warnings About Lucy Letby

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder what sort of mental condition causes someone to do such an aberrant crime? It's hard to wrap one's head around this. The woman was by all appearances a normal, nice young professional. There...

    We can't eat

    Emergent replied to vintagegal's topic in General Nursing

    Apartments are pretty cheap where you live. Here in Washington State rents are out of sight. I'm a landlord and I keep my rents low... Less than 1500 dollars a month for three bedroom houses with...

    Quitting while on orientation

    Emergent replied to MDelainy's topic in General Nursing

    Probably because of money. Not everybody has an emergency fund to keep them going while they search for a

    ER Monopoly

    Emergent replied to CGB's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you. In a big city, the big traumas go straight to the Level One. I worked in a smaller city, and the Level One was quite a distance away. The flight crew arrived with an ambulance crew...

    Did I handle this alright?

    Emergent replied to guest1200295's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't fret over this. Nurses compare notes all the time. It's normal. It's healthy to share war stories in nursing. In the ER we did it all the time. Some of the more colorful stories were with...

    Left the ICU after 1.5 yrs, where to next?

    Emergent replied to bdemismi's topic in General Nursing

    If you found the ICU claustrophobic and suffocating, I recommend emergency room

    Has anyone slept through phone calls while on-call?

    Time Management Research Project

    Emergent replied to LaTonya Cawley's topic in General Nursing

    So much false information has been started "according to one study". "According to one study" vaccines cause autism. This is a time management study. When Academia comes up with some...

    Has anyone slept through phone calls while on-call?

    Emergent replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    If you are for real, I think you need to get a better job. You have some problems apparently. I'm not sure about you. I'd like to think that you are a real person. If you are, please get some help to...

    Time Management Research Project

    Emergent replied to LaTonya Cawley's topic in General Nursing

    This is the whole problem with the so-called 'evidence-based' research being done. This is utterly unscientific. Academia needs to greatly tighten up its standards if they want to win my respect,...

    The Collapsing Healthcare System in the US

    Emergent replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    I think Canada has problems as well. Having said that, I do agree our current system is piecemeal and systemically disorganized. It also is consumer oriented in a negative way. And, the general public...

    ER Monopoly

    Emergent replied to CGB's topic in General Nursing

    My advice is to go to a level two or three Trauma Center. You still see all the big traumas. The only big traumas you don't see are the ones that are airlifted immediately to the level one. The...

    Counterweight Bullying With a Positive Attitude.

    Emergent replied to kocurek's topic in General Nursing

    They're always social dynamics anywhere you go. In an estrogen drenched environment such as nursing, these types of things can get hard to tolerate. I'm currently working at a data center build...

    Quitting while on orientation

    Emergent replied to MDelainy's topic in General Nursing

    Orientation is a trial period on both sides. It is a time for management to see how you are going to work, and it's an opportunity for you to see if this workplace is a good fit for you. It is a...

    Georgia law prohibits DNPs from using the term "doctor"

    Emergent replied to klone's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Subee is a long time poster here. I know things can get heated here, but that is an intemperate accusation. I have a heck of a lot of respect for it the CRNA title. It is a difficult road. I have...

    He was in the hospital for his broken shoulder. So he was on a normal hospital Ward. Of course, a broken shoulder probably entailed a long hospital stay in that day and age. Correction on this...

    Georgia law prohibits DNPs from using the term "doctor"

    Emergent replied to klone's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think this all boils down to the fact that many Nurse Practitioner programs are weak, with poor oversight, and filled with a lot of fluff. I am hesitant to seek out a Nurse Practitioner that I don't...

    Have you ever been "ghosted" by an employer after accepting a job offer?

    Emergent replied to Peachpit's topic in General Nursing

    It might be a personnel crisis in the HR department. I agree, try reaching out to the manager. Also, if you are able to go in person, a face-to-face discussion might clarify

    Has anyone ever worked part-time at one hospital and PRN at another?

    Emergent replied to callmetallcake's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. It worked out fine pay wise. It's always good to have a second job in your back pocket. When my favorite manager was asked to resign under the original Hospital organization that owned the...
