    Inevitable Resignation

    Emergent replied to pharmanurse11's topic in General Nursing

    WOW! After you resign, the next step should be to report all this to the appropriate regulatory body. This is totally

    The Collapsing Healthcare System in the US

    Emergent replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    I've heard the same thing about our local food bank. People have found the healthy foods thrown away. People don't want to soak beans overnight and cook them. They want instant foods like everybody...

    The Collapsing Healthcare System in the US

    Emergent replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    @KalipsoRed21 it sounds like you took my post personally. I'm sorry you're having a hard time . I was just talking about cooking from scratch, which has become a rarity in our society. I'm sorry your...

    The Collapsing Healthcare System in the US

    Emergent replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    I was on an extremely tight budget in my twenties. My first husband was lazy, we were broke, and we had four little kids. I managed to cook very nutritional food on a very meager income. We ate a lot...

    The Collapsing Healthcare System in the US

    Emergent replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    The fat acceptance movement is ultimately a negative one for health. I see obesity as a health issue, but many people see it as a vanity issue. I agree that people of all types should be loved and...

    The Collapsing Healthcare System in the US

    Emergent replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    I mostly agree with you. But, the behaviors described also are part of our general societal decline into entitlement and victimhood. And, there is a free will element. These people encounter the...

    Hospital Bosses Ignored Months of Doctors' Warnings About Lucy Letby

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think this was attention seeking behavior. Lucy was very secretive in her morbid hobby. Someone who goes and shoots up a school is definitely engaging in a bizarre form of negative...

    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

    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...

    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...
