    Unfortunate Camp Nursing Experience

    Emergent replied to lenochka14's topic in Camp

    I had a horrible experience at a Catholic camp in Western Washington. Toxic leadership bordering on scary. No supplies, such as sheet changes in between patients, or any other way of sanitizing the...

    New Nurse, morality question.

    Emergent replied to car48's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I work in an ER. Our custom is to stay and actually witness the waste. It's slipshod to not take the 5 extra seconds to do that. Giving out passwords? That is beyond the pale, imo. I don't think you...

    Swastikas & Nursing | Refusing care based upon moral objection?

    Emergent replied to guest042302019's topic in General Nursing

    I don't care about my patient's opinions, they mean nothing to me. They are all a part of the parade of humanity that is one of the interesting parts of the job. Who needs reality TV when you can get...

    Is this discrimination?

    Emergent replied to eacue10's topic in General Nursing

    I think you're confusing language with race with this comment. I do believe if a person is serious about immigration to the United States, some attempt to learn English is appropriate. Of course,...

    Deciding to have a baby after ADN

    Emergent replied to ARODtheCRNA2b's topic in Nursing Career

    You have a lot of ambitious plans. Personally, I'd advise cooling your jets and slowing down. Make it through your ADN. Go ahead and have the babies. I think it's great to do that while young. You...

    We never had these in my school. It sounds like it's totally gone to her head. Very annoying indeed. I agree, let it

    New nurse and I had a breakdown at work

    Emergent replied to KB4848's topic in General Nursing

    I think your number one problem is sleep deprivation. Shame on your inconsiderate, 9-5 educator for interfering with your much needed sleep! Your home problems sound quite ordinary. But the sleep...

    So TIRED OF IT

    Emergent replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know how to respond to this ridiculous, overblown statement. It seems inevitable here that some self righteous person, after reading that someone had a negative opinion of a patient, tells...

    So TIRED OF IT

    Emergent replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    That was a very long post, why didn't you mention that within it? There is no one formula for interacting with patients. I, personally, hate it when my healthcare providers give me canned responses...

    So TIRED OF IT

    Emergent replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    I don't make a ton of eye contact with obnoxious patients. I have very little trouble. I'm known in my department for my uncanny ability to keep everyone calm and avoid confrontation. I can find...

    2 full-time jobs?

    Emergent replied to anna225's topic in General Nursing

    This is a sad travesty, the result of a serious ethical failure of a corrupt system of higher education in America. It preys on naive young people and gets them to sign on the dotted line. My...

    Do you ever get concerned about certain users on here?

    Emergent replied to Bakingismylife's topic in General Nursing

    I don't worry about anyone here. It's just a forum. There are a few people who have indicated from their posts that they have mental health challenges. I wish them good luck. I don't have the time...

    service dogs

    Emergent replied to Vtachy1's topic in General Nursing

    At my side job we have a doctor with a service dog. She is hearing impaired. The dog is trained to alert her for codes, phone calls, etc. It's a tiny place and the ER doc has a sleep room, works 24 or...

    Hot Cheetos are a public health menace

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I think the problem in the last 50 years is that the public from all socioeconomic classes has lost the ability to cook from scratch. Eating out has become the cultural norm. Back when I was broke in...
