    Chris Christie in charge of Trump's Opioid Commission

    Emergent posted a topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I just read that Christie will be heading the opioid commission. I thought his actions in New Jersey were an overreaction that punished responsible prescibers and patients for the failures of the...

    Call it a hunch.

    Emergent replied to bigd82's topic in General Nursing

    You reported to the RN in charge. You got vitals. I think you acted correctly. Maybe the nurse didn't act quickly enough, maybe it was a hopeless case, we don't know. But it sounds like your actions...

    Shoes, uniforms, shower after clinical?

    Emergent replied to Barmherzigkeit's topic in General Students

    You will need a hazmat, decontamination unit prior to entering you car. It's similar to the procedure after leaving an Ebola patient's room. One bad microbe and your entire family will be wiped

    Emergent posted a topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Getting a puppy and working 12 hour shifts?

    Emergent replied to Hwills94's topic in General Nursing

    I recommend getting a young, house trained rescue. You say you have a Yorkie? That's great, I'm a firm believer in having 2 dogs to keep one another company. Canines are pack animals and...

    If you only eat home cooked food, and don't eat pre-packaged food, you will be on the right track. Absolutely no soda pop. Keep your cupboards simple and devoid of snack foods. Easy on the alcoholic...

    Education Conspiracy

    I do believe that academia is offering fluff padded coursework that brings in big dollars to their institutions. They are peddling their wares and the necessity of advanced degrees as a requirement...

    Should drug diverters be prosecuted?

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    You make an excellent point there. A lot of the theft that happens in stores is to feed drug habits. Should we then excuse people who break into stores or houses? What about shoplifters? Should they...
