    I Hope This is Not the Latest Trend

    Emergent replied to PhyllisMSN's topic in General Nursing

    I mentioned in another thread how President Franklin Roosevelt collapsed of a cerebral hemorrhage. A doctor was summoned, and in 2 hours he slipped away, at home, surrounded by loved ones. This was...

    @WestCoastSunRN What's wrong with shopping on Amazon? It's a convenient and useful way to shop. One of my sons is working for then and the wages are decent, the hours flexible and benefits

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've been binging on documentaries on Netflix this winter. Did you all know that FDR most likely did not have Polio, but instead Guillain-Barre ? He was an entirely amazing man. Just watched The...

    Trigger Warning!

    Emergent replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    You can use this on new nurses when offering constructive criticism. "Wait Snowflake, this may trigger you, but you pulled the wrong med out. See, it's a paralytic. The order says Versed. Don't...

    Trigger Warning!

    Emergent replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    The whole thing sounds a little pro-guns to me. "Excuse me, I'm about to pull the trigger" Then someone tells "ACTIVE SHOOTER!" and the swat team takes out the offending

    Emergent replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    I thought the acceptable social norm was to preface a potentially offensive remark by saying "I don't mean to offend you, but..." or "Please don't take this personally, but..." Then proceed to say...

    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    Emergent replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Well, there's another failure. I think it's evident that the hospital tried to cover this up. But, eventually it did come out. This gal only got suspended from her new job when she was

    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    Emergent replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Which is a failure of the current system of slow BON responses to nurses culpable in sentinal events. When a police officer is involved in any on the job shooting in the line of duty, they pull him...

    Counselling & Solutions for Anxiety and Depression

    Emergent replied to JohnDoe23's topic in General Nursing

    I seriously doubt any hospital cares enough to put money into this. If I ruled the world, hospitals would have on site daycare, 24 hrs a day. They would have massage therapists, exercise rooms, nap...

    Counselling & Solutions for Anxiety and Depression

    Emergent replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    That's funny, although, the workplace is a bad place to talk about religion or politics. That's good manners. BTW, the free speech clause of the constitution only refers to protection from the...

    I remember my first job at a rural nursing home. There was a nurse there who had previously been a DNS at a nursing home elsewhere. She took it upon herself to scrutinize the paperwork. We had MARS...

    Alert fatigue and sensory overload

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    I think we're all aware of the Vecuronium error by now. It was a horrific mistake by a careless nurse. I've seen nursing evolve in my career. There used to simpler, easier to navigate systems. But it...
