    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...

    You don't understand why drug abusing doctors, PAs, and NPs might be a problem for the hospital and the wellbeing of

    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...

    A Feminist Approach to the Opioid Epidemic

    Emergent replied to Issaiah1332's topic in General Nursing

    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...

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

    Emergent replied to Allie94's topic in Nursing Career

    At least you weren't intimate with a resident! I think it depends on the people involved. If you have to explain it, I think the no excuses version you gave here was excellent. If HR is...

    Thinking about leaving first RN job

    Emergent replied to Guest 1052832's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know why some nurses make such a big deal out of working at a level 1 trauma center, especially at the beginning of their careers. I think a lot of it is a status symbol. There is so much...

    New RN, and hate nursing already

    Emergent replied to FNPStudentLife's topic in General Nursing

    I have not had an experience like that. Either you are feeding into these behaviors in some way without realizing it, or the hospital you work for is truly bottom of the barrel. I did 2 cases for...

    Are anti-vaccine people conspiracy theorists generally?

    I have an old friend from years ago who I now keep in touch with on Facebook. Her posts are fascinating in the amazing variety of conspiracy theories, some outrageous, some maybe partially true....

    How objective are studies anyways?

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was on the healthcare portal for a doctor I see, who's associated with a university hospital. They had links soliciting volunteers for studies. They had a whole category for healthy people studies,...
