    Joint Commission is like critical in laws

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    We're getting ready for everyone's favorite time of year, a visit from JACHO (yes, I know I messed up the letters in jacho, my brain prioritizing software has given that a very low importance rating)...

    Sleep and good mattresses.

    Emergent posted a topic in Health, Stress Management

    I'm interested in suggestions regarding supportive mattresses. I'm considering investing in a good one. I like support and don't like sinking into a plush

    Manager catch phrases

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    We have a new manager at one of my jobs. Every interaction with her sounds like she's following a script learned at a leadership seminar. It feels very fake and insincere, and we all wish she'd go...

    Nursing is not what it is made out to be..

    Emergent replied to ModernRN's topic in General Nursing

    Don Draper was an amoral jerk. I suggest that unbridled capitalism is not the the best way to live. I love and appreciate America but we can certainly do better than we

    Pt assignment in trash

    Emergent replied to Mama Nurse 7's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    You were fired for being a thorn in the side of your manager and coworkers. Your tattle telling was a time consuming annoyance to the manager. It also made your coworkers dislike

    Very religious floor

    Emergent replied to Mrs_Ga_RN_2015's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    It sounds over the top. I get annoyed with pushy atheists, personally. But this sounds really inappropriate. I have no advise, but your misgivings and discomfort are

    Pill packets suck

    Emergent posted a topic in Patient Medications

    I'm getting fed up with pill packets. The serrated separating lines are not as well made as before, some brands make it impossible to tear away one pill for a patient without scissors. Then, once you...

    Concerned about a coworker on stimulants whose heart rate is 110

    Emergent replied to farawayisland's topic in General Nursing

    The use of stimulants can damage the heart over time. To those who shrug off a resting HR over 100 as nothing to worry about, I heartily disagree. It's a sign that the heart is working harder than...

    Do psychotropic meds contribute to poor decision making sometimes?

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    A close friend and I were visiting recently. Her husband has been on more than one anti anxiety medication since his son was killed by a drunk driver over 10 years ago. He is a big hearted guy,...

    New grads in specialties without the basics

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    We have several new grads in our ER. I'm starting to think that most nurses should have at least a year on a more general ward before learning a specialty. I'm seeing some clueless mistakes, and lack...

    Should high absenteeism be cause to be fired?

    Emergent posted a topic in Nursing Professionalism

    My hospital seems to be cracking down on absenteeism. The second person this month in our dept was just fired. He has a wife with severe medical problems. He also calls in for bs reasons I suspect....

    My co-worker hates me for doing my job.

    Emergent replied to KwowRn's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Frankly, she sounds like she didn't get her fix that night. I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't have her hand in the cookie jar. She sounds awfully edgy. Always watch her waste. If she is verbally...

    Dragging hospital communications, kicking and screaming, into the 21st century

    Emergent replied to Rpw3b's topic in General Nursing

    My primary job sends all reminders on our personal emails. I never even access the Intranet email at work because everything is easily checked on my personal email. At a secondary Per diem job it's...

    Diversity/Religion In The Workplace

    Emergent replied to RutgersFlower2016's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe use Mr Google for some quick education then. There are several Christian sects such as the Mennonites, Amish, German Baptists. There are Sikhs, and there are Orthodox Jews. I'm probably leaving...

    My inner snowflake

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    When it boils down to it, I really wish that nursing was less blue collar and more decorous and professional. Some of my colleagues sound and act like rowdy high school kids. They forget there are...

    Diversity/Religion In The Workplace

    Emergent replied to RutgersFlower2016's topic in General Nursing

    Regarding the Jewish side topic, I think what loving life meant was your average, secular, cultural Jewish person, which is the vast majority of Judaism in America today. A tiny minority of Jewish...

    Dealing with sensitive care aides

    Allnurses needs nurses

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    The only problem for me with the mobile version is that you can't go to a particular page in a thread easily. You can go to the first unread, you can go to the first page, or you can go to the last...

    Diversity/Religion In The Workplace

    Emergent replied to RutgersFlower2016's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I don't understand the rule making a fuss over this. Cooks are supposed to wear head coverings. It's considered more hygienic. I like to wear scarves on my hair and if I could wear one at...
