  1. Covid-19 Religious Exemption

    anewsns replied to NurseA2021's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Someone pointed out the fetal cell issue to me for some Christian denominations. I had completely forgotten about that. Some Catholics use that as well, though it is not the official stance of the...

  2. Your Help Needed: Give A Tip To A New Grad Nurse

    anewsns replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

  3. Advice please

    anewsns replied to NicKi0410's topic in General Nursing

    If the old job with the promotion is 80 hours a week I imagine it will still turn into 84 hours if not more being management. Getting mental rest helps with burnout, making more money does

  4. Covid-19 Religious Exemption

    anewsns replied to NurseA2021's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Im still curious about this too genuinely. I haven't heard of the actual belief system and reasons not to get the vaccine based on religion. Christian denominations are the most prevalent in the U.S....

  5. Was I in the Right Here?

    anewsns replied to Grande_latte04's topic in General Nursing

    I've never seen a similar situation ever where throwing more opiates at the problem was helpful. An increase is just a temporary bandaid. Often the person has opiate dependence and yet the opiates...

  6. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    anewsns replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    So true about educating the public. I was so excited to get the vaccine, I acted like I won the lottery when I got the email to sign up. I was so sure people would want the vaccine to help life go...

  7. Nurses are Fleeing the Hospital

    anewsns replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

  8. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    anewsns replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

  9. Compassion Fatigue - Staying Positive

    anewsns replied to JeanstarMSN's topic in General Nursing

    This is good advice for managing compassion fatigue but I wish organizations would do more to help. They put nurses in a situation that would obviously lead to burnout and then act like its the nurses...

  10. Feeling unjustified for wanting to leave my job

    anewsns replied to JonJP's topic in General Nursing

    Long term care is always understaffed. You do not owe anything to a workplace besides just doing your job and giving them a fair notice when you leave. You will prove nothing by sticking it out....

  15. Was I in the Right Here?

    anewsns replied to Grande_latte04's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like you are a very caring and empathetic person, which is probably what got you here in the first place! When I tell my husband about similar situations at work, he responds that if I was...

  16. Was I in the Right Here?

    anewsns replied to Grande_latte04's topic in General Nursing

    I think this is a good question! Im not sure if you were asking the original poster or me. Burnout is an official medical condition now, and one of the symptoms is irritability, esp with coworkers...

  19. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    anewsns replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

  21. Venting About Leaving Bedside

    anewsns posted a topic in General Nursing

    First, I need to safely vent. I've done my time at the bedside for over 11 years now and have had ups and downs in my mindset, but lately SOMETHING in my heart just changed. Truthfully, I've never...

  23. Looking for Advice/Perspectives

    anewsns replied to thegreennurse's topic in General Nursing

    I've heard some of the nurses I work with say that all of their classmates in NP school have critical care experience. The NP market in my area is flooded so I think that gives people an edge. It...

  25. Is the Grass greener on the other side?

    anewsns replied to HotMessRN's topic in General Nursing
