    Reporting for racial slurs/substance abuse

    Emergent replied to guest563546's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Wow, it sounds like a lot of lowlife drama to me. You call her an acquaintance, but you are are pretty close texting terms with her, where she is cutting loose some opinions not suitable for polite...

    Black Sheep...time to leave?

    Emergent replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You have 2 choices. 1) Detach yourself emotionally and get your emotional/social gratification at work interacting with patient's families, doctors, friendly nurses, lab, respiratory, housekeeping...

    Do Nurse Practitioners get drug tested?

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    A nurse in our department got her NP and came back to work in that role. Our ER is staffed by a contracted company. The hospital went gung house with random drug testing a couple of years ago. When I...

    Emergent replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    Lol, the F word isn't the best during orientation. It's actually, generally a bad idea with patients. You can establish a rapport without the F word. *******' or Freakin' work. Trty to stay at least...

    Staff Nurses Who Refuse To Precept Or Teach?

    Emergent replied to All4NursingRN's topic in General Nursing

    So, what I am hearing from the 'everyone should precept' camp is: 'I love precepting, and everyone should be like me. If they don't want to precept, they aren't as good as me, and aren't helping the...

    Staff Nurses Who Refuse To Precept Or Teach?

    Emergent replied to All4NursingRN's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone has different gifts in life. I'm the type that needs a lot of space and is inwardly oriented. I need to retreat into my bubble and tune out others often in order to psychologically protect...

    Do Nurse Practitioners get drug tested?

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    It's not an emotionally laden subject for me, even though I used the phrase "slap in the face. I found it interesting, and this site needs interesting discussions other than whether someone can get...

    Do Nurse Practitioners get drug tested?

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    That is not true. All agency nurses are absolutely required to have drug testing documentation. And, if the hospital was truly concerned as they purport to be by their current hypervigilence...

    Do Nurse Practitioners get drug tested?

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    If you read my opening post my coworker informed me that there was no pre-employment screening done. We both found that fascinating, since the hospital had recently moved from pre-employment...

    Emergent replied to tch1920's topic in School

    Here's a good article on bedwetting. Obviously Dad is the first to speak with. It sounds like he's got his hands full, works hard, and mom is out of the picture. As people mentioned, there are...

    Richard Speck student nurse murder survivor doing well

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    Anyone into the Netflix series Mindhunters might have seen the episode about the interview of Richard Speck. In 1966 Speck massacred 8 student nurses. Corazon Amurao Atienza was the lone surviving...

    Do Nurse Practitioners get drug tested?

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    My point isn't whether or not there should or should not be drug testing. But why test unit secretaries and not providers? It's backwards. I'm in favor of testing airline pilots, truck drivers, air...

    Our Current Reality: Are You Going to Work Scared?

    Emergent replied to Bridgid Joseph's topic in General Nursing

    People should not let media sensationalism affect their lives. Yes, bad things happen to good people. But, you're more likely to die early of a chronic illness triggered by eating too much junk...

    Just........no.

    Emergent replied to roser13's topic in Nursing News

    More evidence as to the negative aspect of the internet and social media. It gives a platform to extremists and can be a catalyst for harm. I believe it's fueled divisiveness in the world. So many...

    A Feminist Approach to the Opioid Epidemic

    Emergent replied to Issaiah1332's topic in General Nursing

    By the way, the Merriam Webster definition of feminism doesn't fit the nurturing, motherly philosophy that the author of this article describes. As a matter of fact, feminism has always steered away...

    Nursing School Needs Repair (And Why I Quit)

    Emergent replied to Barmherzigkeit's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I didn't realize that comment was directed at me. Thanks for the compliment. I may have a glimmer of insight into human emotions and inner motives now and then, but psyche nursing is definitely not...

    Nursing School Needs Repair (And Why I Quit)

    Emergent replied to Barmherzigkeit's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It sounds to me that you are at a stressful life transition. I don't know if you've just lost your mom, but my sense is that you are grasping toward nursing to fill an emotional void. You might want...

    A Feminist Approach to the Opioid Epidemic

    Emergent replied to Issaiah1332's topic in General Nursing

    Just because you are a man doesn't give your essay more veracity. If I am a Jew and say the Holocaust never occurred, that does no make it true. Your gender is irrelevant. I argue that, perhaps my...

    Seriously? Sorry, but this article seems like divisive, stereotyping nonsense generated by the woman's studies dept of academia. That bad, bad patriarchy doing everything wrong! Those uncaring men...

    Can I get in a masters nursing program if I withdrew from a bachelors nursing program?

    Emergent replied to Sl74's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I see a trend here on allnurses of students who fail a lesser degree, and therefore want to bypass that step and obtain a higher degree. I, frankly, find that troubling. Are you asking here if there...

    Could the reason I got fired from my last job affect becoming a nurse

    Emergent replied to Allie94's topic in Nursing Career

    Anyone who says that blurting out the uncensored truth about past transgressions in our lives is a good idea, is not giving wise advice. And, 21 is very young. I never would have committed this...
