    Patients Filming You

    Emergent replied to Anonymous666's topic in General Nursing

    When I was working in the ER, I was surprised that people didn't try this more often. If someone started doing it I would just stop what I was doing, and politely tell them that I didn't want to be...

    What to do if I like someone at work?

    Emergent replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    I would guess that everyone at work already knows that you are Trump supporter, not that I recommend bringing politics into the workplace at all. If your political opinions are highly important to...

    Middle school goes to remote learning after 1 measles case

    Emergent posted a topic in School

    A Seattle middle school is going to remote learning because of one case of measles. I'm not quite understanding the emergency, since all children are supposed to have a measles vaccine. Is this the...

    Emergent replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    The Trump supporter deal is a bit of a turn off to many people. It makes you look like you are goofing around on the internet. It's hard to take you seriously with that

    Georgia law prohibits DNPs from using the term "doctor"

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

    You have to admit that there is quite a bit of fluff in advanced degrees of many fields. I have to agree that Academia is trying to garner a bigger share of the GNP of the economy. And healthcare as a...

    Nurse Accused of Gossiping

    Emergent replied to abu123's topic in General Nursing

    The best thing for someone who is annoyed by gossip to do, is to say something in the moment. Saying things in the moment is much more effective than backbiting, which is another undesirable social...

    Nurse Accused of Gossiping

    Emergent replied to abu123's topic in General Nursing

    Anonymous peer reviews are useless, in my opinion. They only stir up controversy. Those who are criticized will then speculate about who stabbed them in the back, and many times those guesses are...

    NFL Star D'Brickashaw Ferguson Embarks on a New Journey to Nursing School

    Emergent replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like he is a spiritual man, since he was studying some sort of religious coursework. I think that's a good trait in nursing. He sounds like a cool human being. I'm sure he will do

    Middle school goes to remote learning after 1 measles case

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in School

    This is in the Seattle City School District. Generally speaking, Seattle was very adherent to the covid 19 mandates. I doubt if very many people in that area question the status quo of the American...

    North Carolina Nurse Gets 4 Years for Painkiller Mishandling

    Emergent replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    This sort of drug diversion is abhorrent to me. It's one thing to indulge in recreational drugs that aren't approved by the Boards of Nursing or the government. Drug diversion that denies a patient...

    If Radonda isn't going to lose her nursing license, who is, only murderers and child molesters?

    South Carolina LPNs Arrested For Not Changing Wound Dressings

    Emergent replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I remember working in a nursing home as my first job out of nursing school. We had some old school LPNs who were very meticulous, and made sure the CNAs did their job. We had an old gal there who...

    95 yr old nursing home resident tasered, dies

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    The lady also used a walker, according to the article. Are the police that incompetent that they have to use a taser on a 95-year-old lady using a walker? Of course she fell and had a massive brain...

    South Carolina LPNs Arrested For Not Changing Wound Dressings

    Emergent replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Demeaning to the ever more entitled, demanding, thin skinned patient population we encounter in our overfed, over pampered society, that is ready to call a lawyer at the drop of a hat? That's why...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    Emergent replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I think RaDonda skated by because she had an outgoing and likable personality. I've seen that happen a lot in nursing. Like @TriciaJ said, her slap happy, careless practice caught up to her...

    South Carolina LPNs Arrested For Not Changing Wound Dressings

    Emergent replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    There's another good point. Facilities are primarily interested in covering their own backsides and often don't cooperate with the reporting process. Additionally, individuals aren't being held...

    South Carolina LPNs Arrested For Not Changing Wound Dressings

    Emergent replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I think arrests such as this are a sign that authorities are intervening because Boards of Nursing are falling asleep on the job. Often it takes 6 months for them to start responding following even a...

    South Carolina LPNs Arrested For Not Changing Wound Dressings

    Emergent replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    It's interesting to me that they would arrest a nurse in this scenario, but when healthcare workers get assaulted in the emergency room, rarely is anything done. It seems more appropriate that...
