1. Almost fired for med error

   Ankh replied to mellybelly27's topic in Emergency

   This is so upsetting. This is the kind of thing that creates a culture of fear and which leads many nurses to not report incidents (as I've seen so many times). Your CNO is way out of line and going against research which supports the idea that repor...

   These are great suggestions! Thank you!! And substituting - what a great way to scope out this specialty more closely.

   Ankh replied to Ankh's topic in School

   Thank you so much for this tip. I really appreciate the feedback you have provided, especially the safety risks involved in a person with less experience being the only health professional on site. I've made a few mistakes in med surg, thankfully not...

   Ankh replied to Ankh's topic in School

   Point taken and your insight is appreciated. I am certainly aware about how employers look at time spent away from nursing for parenting or any other reasons. Do you recommend additional hospital based experience prior to this transition? That is som...

   Thank you! I had no idea that a teaching certificate could help in this way.

   Thank you! This is great advice and glad to know I'm not the only teacher to nurse transplant! That is great insight keeping my teaching certificate. I am going to look into that.

7. Should Obama care be repealed?

   Ankh replied to luv2's topic in General Nursing

   EXACTLY! I could not have said it better! Also thank you for saying Affordable Care Act. I was correctly taught in nursing school that the term "Obamacare" is politically charged and unprofessional. Not a term for a professional registered nurse to e...

9. Flu Shot or Mask?

   Ankh replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   To clarify I was working in NY where the mask is mandated for those who decline flu vaccine. I do not believe in vaccination for me but was ok wearing the mask though doubtful it offered much protection for patients. I'm on the alternative health spe...

10. Please Advise! Interested in School Nursing

    Ankh posted a topic in School

    I have been thinking about becoming a school nurse for some time now. I am a former classroom teacher and after I got my nursing license and BSN, worked in med-surg for a year. Now I am taking some time off from paid work to be a SAHM. Thinking about...

    Ankh replied to shark_nurse14's topic in School

    Sex ed in a really fun way is really important for this age group including sexual assault prevention/risk reduction.

13. The film: Vaxxed.

    Ankh replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    I've read portions of the discussion, not all 56 pages. I decided to comment because #1 I am thrilled to have tickets to see this film later in the week and #2 I feel it is important for RNs who reject standard assumptions about vaccines voices to be...

14. The film: Vaxxed.

    Ankh replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't bring up autism in fact, but general vaccine safety issues and reactions. People really fixate on this link, parents and loved ones with children afflicted by autism rightfully so, but it's so much more than autism. In response to your comme...

15. The film: Vaxxed.

    Ankh replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    I am going to see this film later in the week. I really find it so unprofessional to polarize the topic into pro and anti vaxxer without any discussion. There are many corporate interests embedded in the kinds and number of vaccines recommended for c...
