    Decapitated baby

    nursel56 replied to SHH's topic in General Specialties

    Yes, if the baby had died in utero, as they seem to be claiming, there would have been an entirely different sequence of events involving the grieving process, support for the family, etc....

    The Trump Thread

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

    Yes. I feel comfortable speculating that Trump's fondest wish is to do January 6 all over again, and if he incites violence again, he'll point to exactly this type of language to exonerate himself,...

    The Trump Thread

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

    Are you saying Nixon knew Ford was going to pardon him in advance of his then undetermined Watergate-related crimes before he appointed Ford to replace Spiro Agnew? Not trying to derail the topic--...

    Was this unethical of me?

    nursel56 replied to guest1200295's topic in General Nursing

    This is one thing that has changed since the advent of HIPAA, which is still able to induce panic in people. In support staff as in your concern "did I need to know that?", and in employers because...

    President Biden thread

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

    If you compare and contrast all the press surrounding another prominent Democrat-- Senator Dianne Feinstein (blatant sexism aside) it becomes quite clear, in my opinion anyway-- the difference between...

    Georgia law prohibits DNPs from using the term "doctor"

    nursel56 replied to klone's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    How misleading is this? My very strong impression over the years is that the "significant ongoing debate at a national level" is generated from well-funded MD lobby groups protecting their turf....

    Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone: A Different Nursing Specialty

    nursel56 replied to hermidarjona's topic in General Nursing

    I would add that the challenges of changing specialties remained present for me throughout the years. Sometimes we older nurses get mad at ourselves while starting a new job in an unfamiliar specialty...

    Rocky Start/Orientation and Nurse Confidence

    nursel56 replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, but ants aren't so bad...? we private duty nurses love to trade war stories to a certain extent. There is also Home Health Case Management if you can handle the driving. I found private...

    NPO except for medications

    nursel56 replied to delrionurse's topic in General Nursing

    I have done this in the past as well. I skip the usual cream and sugar and cut the liquid volume to 25% or

    Why Hospitals Don't Value Nurses: A Nurse's Perspective

    nursel56 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I think there was about a 2 week window in there, right around the time those pictures of nurses wearing trash bag ponchos for PPE everyone was gushing about heroism and "thank a nurse today" etc. I...

    The Art of Caregiving

    nursel56 replied to RNmama2JH's topic in General Nursing

    I've always thought nursing was a combination of art and science. As those are my two top career interests, it turned out well for me. Thanks for a great

    I don't need any government to tell me if I have their permission to defend myself

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

    I agree-- but I have learned over the years there are a small number of people who actually write a hellish feverdream stream-of-consciousness thing and hit the submit button. I like to save time on...

    I don't need any government to tell me if I have their permission to defend myself

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

    I occasionally watch a show called "I Survived". All of the episodes will allude to survival strategies whether it's a criminal act, a natural disaster or a person vs undomesticated animal in it's...

    Biden loves nurses...awkward

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

    I think I might shed some light on the stutter claims. If you do a Google search there are basically zero results. But since not all information available prior to that is searchable, I recalled a...

    Advice about walking outside while recovering from Covid

    nursel56 replied to guest1200295's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I tried looking that up a few days ago, as my recent situation is very similar to yours. Even though I tried to keep my search to credible sources I very quickly found myself in a confusing morass of...

    Not at all. My prior reply here to mmc51264 explains it as the same question was

    Biden loves nurses...awkward

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

    I do know that. I think if you re-read my post, you'll see that I was obliquely defending Biden. Sometimes my writing isn't clear, but I was attempting to convey it with this: "What bothers me...

    Biden loves nurses...awkward

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

    I understand. My frame of reference often causes me to evaluate Biden against the backdrop of his predecessor. I see that meme where he is standing in front of an apocalyptic hellscape of billowing...

    Biden loves nurses...awkward

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

    I agree that it was awkward. He also stumbled over his words a little bit during his speech in Kiev. His gait was noticeably halting as he approached President Zelensky, and he apparently slipped on...

    Home Visits and HIPAA considerations

    nursel56 replied to WifeMomNurseHuman's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Not sure if this would be related or not, but in private duty nursing many of the nurses are dropped off and picked up by a friend, relative or public transportation at all hours of the day and night....

    Why do the younger generations have less empathy? And how can we stop them from going into nursing?

    nursel56 replied to RitzyCinnamonRoll's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think today's young people have much less empathy, but I agree with the idea that older generations thinking younger generations have it so easy compared to themselves is kind of a...

    I'm Making Horrible Mistakes At The Bedside, Help

    nursel56 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Excellent advice so far! I've been through all of that before. It sounds like there is a certain level of grief associated with a decision like this, despite how we know it's the right thing to...

    nursel56 replied to Benzodiazepine's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's discouraging to see one sector of healthcare professionals reactively denigrate another simply from a lack of factual data, or a feeling of insecurity based somewhat on reality, and...
