    Help with my experience?

    nursel56 replied to riquelle's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I think it would be considered home care if you had to choose one of the two. Something I've observed is a lot of confusion regarding current terminology that most people are unaware of. LTC, adult...

    Dr. Pimple Popper Thinks Nurses Have No Place Educating Patients

    nursel56 replied to CaffeinePOQ4HPRN's topic in General Nursing

    Having read the article you referenced I find that it is extremely generic information you could probably find out on a day camp bulletin board poster or in a family First Aid book. So I'm wondering...

    As a Nurse, is it normal to be pushed around doing different jobs at the place you work?

    nursel56 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    If they have you folding laundry for many shifts in a row it would be concerning, but honestly I think helping the Director of Care with their duties is an opportunity that couldn't be replaced by...

    Self doubt

    nursel56 replied to Kassandra Anderson's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hi Kassandra! Glad you decided to post here! Jared wrote a great post. I just want to add that from what you are saying, both of the jobs you've accepted as a new nurse are extremely challenging, and...

    Dr. Pimple Popper Thinks Nurses Have No Place Educating Patients

    nursel56 replied to CaffeinePOQ4HPRN's topic in General Nursing

    Isn't a board-certified dermatologist calling themselves "Dr. Pimple Popper" kind of like a nurse calling themselves "Nurse Bedpan"? Her nickname is not exactly respectful. Having worked in...

    Farewell Esme - In Loving Memory

    nursel56 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Dear Allyson and all of those who knew and love Kristi. She was the most generous person I know online or offline. I say that because no matter what was going on with her health and other stresses...

    Guilt after patient passing away

    nursel56 replied to Lynker's topic in General Nursing

    {Hugs}, Jabujabule. Don't feel bad about not saying goodbye to your patient. Throughout my years in nursing I've got a few deaths that have "stayed with me". I don't think about them all the time,...

    What is your "favorite" procedure?

    nursel56 replied to NewRN'16's topic in General Nursing

    I don't really like suctioning generally but when I can get a particularly nasty plug out of there the relief on the patient's face is pretty cool. I worked in clinics quite a bit and I really loved...

    Social Media Silences Conservatives?

    The only thing I'm shocked about is you keep saying Trump is censored when he

    Social Media Silences Conservatives?

    nursel56 replied to sirI's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    They didn't silence or censor anything. The link they added to the tweet has nothing to do with politics. It has to do with the integrity of elections. They took the same approach to misinformation on...

    Biden and Trump, with and without masks, respectively

    nursel56 replied to sirI's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Deep down inside, the fact that so many people are not only OK with that, but actually champion that behavior, and that a number of clergy openly do the same, makes me fear for the future of our...

    Openly criticizing a fellow nurse.

    nursel56 replied to hazyblue's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm sure if you would've had time to ponder your opinion before voicing it, you wouldn't have said it. I'm guessing you said it because you were already stressed by your workload. I would apologize,...

    *HELP* being accused of gross negligence

    nursel56 replied to heather7781's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm so sorry this is happening to you. My one job where I was treated in a similar fashion led me to realize a lot of backstabbing was going on under the radar that I was not aware of and the...

    Are churches safe?

    nursel56 replied to Joe V's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I don't think a church (or any gathering like that for religious or spiritual fellowship) is any more or less safe than a similar group of people in a confined space involving close proximity. It's...

    Trump Goes Maskless

    nursel56 replied to sirI's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    His motivations for not wearing a mask are unworthy of a leader. Nancy Pelosi correctly observed that it is vanity, and the various concoctions dreamed up by his aides, such as "he's worried it will...

    Living as an older individual with comorbidities

    nursel56 replied to Hillbilly RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Hi Hillbilly RN! I've been extra careful as well due to my history of severe asthma. It can be depressing to think this will go on endlessly. Additionally, this topic is literally everywhere, all...

    Does Trump have Covid?

    nursel56 replied to Emergent's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    He said he didn't have it, I think around the same time he said he was taking the hydroxychloroquinine to prevent the infection. I guess I'm still confused as to whether this is a treatment or a...

    HELLLLLLLOOOOO, Retirement !

    nursel56 replied to Davey Do's topic in Retired Nurses

    @Davey Do I've been trying to determine all the twists and turns in all of this, as lately I haven't been delving as deep into the threads, but the emerging picture has caused me to feel-- a "dump...

    Chewing Gum

    nursel56 replied to Otessa's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I don't think we should have a strictly hard and fast rule about reviving old threads. Some of them are real of gems of entertainment, and information. I was a little disappointed this is not the 2010...

    If the US started a system like the NHS in the UK should nurses expect a cut in pay

    nursel56 replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    This topic tends to get pretty emotional. In the past we've had people ask things like "is it true you have to bring your own pillow to hospital in <choose country w/ single-payer system>?"...

    Coffee revenge...

    nursel56 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    Coffee here! ?‍♀️ I think it all started with Mom's Yuban instant coffee. I'm not quite sure when I found out tea existed, in fact. When I got my very first Mr. Coffee with pre-digital...

    Home health nurse working as a maid?

    nursel56 replied to mzsuccess's topic in Home Health

    Oh, my. I want to laugh, I want to cry, I want to say nobody really gets the soul of private duty nursing unless they've seen it for themselves. Stories? I've got a million of 'em-- but most are so...

    Home health nurse working as a maid?

    nursel56 replied to mzsuccess's topic in Home Health

    The way I interpreted the questions about why you're there it sounds like your patient doesn't have the limitations that would justify skilled nursing vs home health aide, unless they now pay nurses...
