  1. Critical Care Eliticism?

    jobellestarr replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    All nurses are equal. This has been an issue since I graduated 35 years ago. I spent 25 years in MS, ICU, etc., because psych nurses (what I was really interested in) weren’t real nurses....

  2. On FMLA, Can't Go Back To Old Job, Now what?

    jobellestarr replied to namaste111's topic in General Nursing

    I would say go to your family and stay with your dad. You need the love of your family and trying to do this all on your own is too overwhelming. Also, your 12 year old needs the support of his...

  8. What to do about DNP and flu shot?

    jobellestarr replied to Travelingon's topic in General Nursing

    I don’t think that people consider themselves “immune compromised “ when the have chronic diseases. I have had a couple of diabetics die from the flu who were in pretty good health and in their...

  9. Patient’s family threatening to report me to BNE

    jobellestarr replied to GilligansPlace's topic in General Nursing

    Ugh, this is why I am so sick of nursing. Abusive families, second guessing and unsupportive fellow nurses. Good lord. I think if you read the OP’s description of what happen, I think he/she did a...

  12. Leaving Bedside Nursing

    jobellestarr replied to Deebuzz's topic in Nursing Career

    Wow, talk about rude. Not everyone has to like bedside nursing and there’s plenty of negatives about it. How about as a fellow nurse, you support someone who is struggling. I personally wish the OP...

  13. Who wants to hire a graduate nurse at 55?

    jobellestarr replied to RNat55's topic in General Nursing

    jobellestarr replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I just checked and the median salary for US techs is 72000. Pretty good I’d say and without all the headaches of being a

  15. Single Dad Can't Handle Blood and Bodily Fluids Wants to be a Nurse

    jobellestarr replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Hi, I’ve been a RN for 35 years and I personally would not encourage anyone to go into nursing anymore. I had a brand new baby and I worked full time while in nursing school and it was very, very...

  16. Plant-based (vegan) mandate for NY hospitals

    jobellestarr replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Well, crap. I try to minimize my animal consumption but didn’t think of gel caps. I’m not kidding. Jello/gelatin is made from animals and I didn’t make the connection. Gotta do better in

  17. Just Say “NO” to Nurse Staffing Laws

    jobellestarr replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you. It’s my belief too. Oh, that is really ugly and so

  18. Just Say “NO” to Nurse Staffing Laws

    jobellestarr replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I’m still not for profit but I’ve always worked in large teaching hospitals or for the federal government so my take is way different but it’s all interesting. Thanks for your thoughtful...

  19. Just Say “NO” to Nurse Staffing Laws

    jobellestarr replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    Except a free market doesn’t work nor should it work in healthcare. This “free market” is why we’re in the mess that we’re in now. And I personally think it’s immoral to profit off of...

  20. Just Say “NO” to Nurse Staffing Laws

    jobellestarr replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

  21. Residency/ training

    jobellestarr replied to Ahrabia's topic in Nursing Career

    Indian Health Service offers very low cost housing and they will train new grads. And they have student loan repayment also. They will also move you. You do have to relocate to a reservation though. I...

  22. JP drain to suction?

    jobellestarr replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    I’ve had surgeons hook up some weird things to suction. Kind of MASH like and improvise with what you have. Like the time a surgeon hooked up a chest tube trocar to suction out someone’s liquified...

    jobellestarr replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, I believe that whole food plant based diet and Esselstyn don’t use

  24. Unsafe Nurse Residency

    jobellestarr replied to Nikkib0911's topic in General Nursing

    Just because some nurses didn’t have residencies doesn’t make it ok for anyone else not to have it. Nursing school has changed tremendously from previous decades when we got a lot more hands on...

  25. Career change?

    jobellestarr replied to NurseKey622's topic in General Nursing

    I would encourage anyone to explore a different avenue of healthcare other than nursing. At one time, I checked out ultrasonography and if you’re a RN, you don’t have to take the full course....
