    President Biden thread

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

    In my mind, those people who believe foreign leaders consume their information directly from a right-wing propaganda outlet, as they do-- just display to the world the thoroughness of their own...

    They should be force to retire

    nursel56 replied to apnurserock's topic in Retired Nurses

    I understand why you would be offended by that terminology, and possibly it won't make a difference anyway... but the original post was from 2011 and "crusty old bat" was a grateful post from a...

    Two-Headed Snake Bully Nurse

    nursel56 replied to Milkofamnesia02's topic in General Nursing

    If the OP had described anything remotely approximating your experiences, I would not, and I feel confident many others would not advise that the victim should ignore the behavior, especially in the...

    Two-Headed Snake Bully Nurse

    nursel56 replied to Milkofamnesia02's topic in General Nursing

    From my experience with people like that, the best course of action is to not react to it at all, and just be observant. These people actually thrive on drama escalation and find negative attention...

    Pros and cons of RN clinic nursing?

    nursel56 replied to Emergent's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    The prior posts give you a great picture of the possible experencies you may have in clinic nursing. For the most part, I really enjoyed my clinic jobs. The only pitfall I can think of is that the...

    Diary of a Nurse Who is Not 'Exceptional'

    nursel56 replied to PsychRN4e's topic in General Nursing

    I agree direct patient care is very often ignored as a priority value in nursing today. Not every nurse will want to give gifts, but considering the population you work with, it is very commendable....

    Treatment of Nursing Students

    nursel56 replied to KrisNicoleE's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I think it's safe to say that every nursing student will encounter nurses who's behavior is not to their liking for any number of reasons beyond how welcoming they are to new students. The thing...

    Quitting My Job: Returning My ID Badge- Should I be Petty?

    nursel56 replied to sideshowstarlet's topic in General Nursing

    If it were me, to rid myself once and for all of these people, I'd follow their "resignation protocol" and hand the badge directly to the supervisor. For my own peace of mind. Yes, their management...

    It’s time for the internet and the NCLEX to do better when describing LPNs

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

    Quite a bit of it has to do with the influence of professional nursing associations like the AACN and the ANA. They're very influential in the legislative lobbying world, and they actively lobby...

    New nurse-too old for bedside?

    nursel56 replied to Piper98's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree with the previous posters. I've worked in outpatient, and ran my rear end off on any given day. Best wishes to

    January 6 Select Committee

    nursel56 replied to nursej22's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Which elected Democrats were claiming that Trump and Buffalo Horn Man were conspiring to plan what occured at the Capitol that day? I keep up pretty well on political stories each day, and I have...

    January 6 Select Committee

    nursel56 replied to nursej22's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    The thing that disturbs me is how many influential Republicans initially were alarmed, and later essentially declared hey, what was the big deal, anyway? It takes a very unhealthy mental state to...

    Hospital Profits Over Patient Safety: The reasons you should not be a nurse

    nursel56 replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    I'm happy that you've found the right job for yourself in private duty. I would never generalize about any job in nursing, because there are variables and exceptions in almost every conceivable...

    Hospital Profits Over Patient Safety: The reasons you should not be a nurse

    nursel56 replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you. I would not characterize home health nursing as drama-free. It is true that you have only one patient in private duty, but in my experience there is plenty of drama. It's...

    Hospital Profits Over Patient Safety: The reasons you should not be a nurse

    nursel56 replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    (sorry for such a long post but...) I'm an old nurse, too... and here are my observations and impressions of changes in the healthcare industry from around the 1970s to the present day. I'll...

    Upside of Changes: Nurses Make the Best of Change

    nursel56 replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    I related to so many things in your article, jeastridge! Admittedly, my first reaction to most proposed change is to feel a giant wall of resistance forming very quickly... but once I step back and...

    Has the staffing clerk ever made you feel guilty of calling in "sick"?

    nursel56 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I've been made to feel guilty by staffing people when I call off a shift, and got it in extreme fashion with certain private duty patients who are more freewheeling in their vocabulary than...

    January 6 Select Committee

    nursel56 replied to nursej22's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    This is exactly why I continue to talk about Trump. His self-serving falsehoods have a pernicious effect that goes far beyond who he is as a person. Sometimes, in an effort to avoid talking about...

    January 6 Select Committee

    nursel56 replied to nursej22's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    The Jan 6 committee didn't charge the Oath Keepers. That is not the purpose of the committee. The Justice Department charged them, and I would disagree that sedition is hard to prove. Leader...

    January 6 Select Committee

    nursel56 replied to nursej22's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I'm sure that is correct, tmb. I usually like to watch hearings in their entirety as I find those more enlightening than sound bites chosen by others-- but I haven't had the time lately,...

    Abuse Accusations

    nursel56 replied to Jess0418's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry this is happening to you, Jess. Over the years I have seen nursing become more and more punitive with regards to write-ups, suspensions, threats of reports to the BON for abandonment when...

    January 6 Select Committee

    nursel56 replied to nursej22's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I also heard, and I apologize for not having a direct link to an article about it, that some law enforcement entities in Washington DC were skittish about preparing to deploy security because of the...

    Hi lightwing! I have experienced similar situations working in private duty nursing, so I'll offer what I can in they way of my experiences. First, when I went through the initial agency...

    January 6 Select Committee

    nursel56 replied to nursej22's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    It seems to me like most Republicans spent the day in a spree of false equivalence and whataboutism talking about attacks on buildings that occurred at or near protests centered around the murder of...
