  1. NBC's The Nurses - Just another nurse show?

    Guest856929 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I don't even know why such trivial things as making beds are part of nursing skills. I have never seen a nurse in the acute setting make a bed and include the elaborate corner folds (forgot the name)....

  2. NBC's The Nurses - Just another nurse show?

    Guest856929 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    If I want to watch a show occasionally demean nurses, I would rather watch house. At least he was hilarious. Nurse Jackie was the only nursing show that I watched without reservations or utter dismay...

    Guest856929 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes an emoji captures enough

  4. Should I Quit or Give up? Glucometer Failure ?

    Guest856929 replied to cj_94's topic in General Nursing

    There are many reasons to quit or drop out and this is not one of them. In fact, I don't like how the question is basically an ultimatum of two unfavorable choices -reminds of the last few elections....

  5. Is there is BSN to DNP Education Degree?

    Guest856929 replied to dtaylor723's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    As others have mentioned, if your intent is strictly academia, then perhaps getting a DNP is not the most apt route because it is primarily structured around clinical research and practice. PhD and...

  6. 80% BSN by 2020: Where Are We Now?

    Guest856929 replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting considering Pompeo is a diabolical

  8. New RN Already Making Mistakes

    Guest856929 replied to BabyTurtle2k11's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps there is nothing wrong with working LTC, but for a new grad RN there are plenty of right reasons to work in acute setting first. I have seen some wasted potential in LTC pushing med carts...

  9. Do you ever feel undeserving to be called a nurse?

    Guest856929 replied to mtanner's topic in General Nursing

    You misunderstood my comment. My reservation for LTC are not based on the nurses who work there. I do not know how you reached that conclusion when I clearly said that OP is a nurse irrespective of...

  10. Tips for working Noc shift

    Guest856929 replied to Alexxoxox's topic in General Nursing

    dark curtains, adequate sleep, coffee, but not towards morning, have fun at work, and maybe some occasional push ups during your

  11. Do you ever feel undeserving to be called a nurse?

    Guest856929 replied to mtanner's topic in General Nursing

    You are a nurse irrespective of your chosen field as long as you are licensed. I do not see this inferiority complex with physicians who range in scope: pathologists, ID, surgeons, IM, radiologists,...

  12. Time to get rid of care plans?

    Guest856929 replied to kubelkabondy's topic in General Students

    I used to think that care plans were rubbish, but I have come to know better. If a care plan is well designed, it can be very useful. I am not talking about the the ones that you make silly diagrams....

    Guest856929 replied to BabyTurtle2k11's topic in General Nursing

    Don't go to LTC, unless if you are an

  14. New RN Already Making Mistakes

    Guest856929 replied to BabyTurtle2k11's topic in General Nursing

    Take a deep breath. If you don't mind, what was the medication and type of allergy? I ask because majority of allergies are in fact not IgE mediated allergies, just receptor responses and technically...

  15. New job. Got injured. Fired for unexcused absences during new hire probation period... what did I do wrong?

    Guest856929 replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in General Nursing

    I understand that and I mentioned that omission is in fact deception. I am just offering a contrarian POV for OP to consider given that her circumstances are quite dire. I am not saying it is the...

  16. New job. Got injured. Fired for unexcused absences during new hire probation period... what did I do wrong?

    Guest856929 replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in General Nursing

    Indeed. I agree with your sentiment. However, in this particular context, OP's facts are quite detrimental all things considered. If she recanted that entire story in an application and/or interview...

  17. New job. Got injured. Fired for unexcused absences during new hire probation period... what did I do wrong?

    Guest856929 replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in General Nursing

    Indeed. Try both; inclusion and omission. Thereafter, perhaps you can tell us which one yielded better results. If I were a betting wo/man, I would put my money on the latter from the anecdotal...

  18. New job. Got injured. Fired for unexcused absences during new hire probation period... what did I do wrong?

    Guest856929 replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in General Nursing

    I was not referencing existing replies, but rather the ones that may arise that are contrary to what the OP is ostensibly leaning towards -omission of the firing from resumes/applications. Inclusion...

  19. New job. Got injured. Fired for unexcused absences during new hire probation period... what did I do wrong?

    Guest856929 replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in General Nursing

    Omit this unfortunate employer from your resume and applications. I have seen it work for people in similar situations (being fired). To the holier-than-thou crowd, I know that omission is deception,...

  21. Can I become a nurse in California if I was convicted of child porn possession in the state?

    Guest856929 replied to chocolateocean's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I was agreeing with you. Apologies if it did not come across that way. It is indeed possible to find loopholes. Additionally, some of these schools are primarily motivated by economic factors and...

  22. Can I become a nurse in California if I was convicted of child porn possession in the state?

    Guest856929 replied to chocolateocean's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Operative word is may. As someone mentioned before, most if not all schools graduation is contingent upon completion of pediatric rotations. All schools I know run background checks on students and...

  23. One third of nurses that die from covid are Filipino

    Guest856929 replied to Tweety's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I have worked in hospital units where the staff is >98% US born Caucasians with no Filipino nurses and most of them were demure and acquiesced to all sorts of manure being peddled down nurses’...

  25. DOC Guilt-Tripping Me To Accept Call-Ins

    Guest856929 replied to amanda269's topic in General Nursing

    Here to salute you for knowing DRC is in central Africa. As for OP, I empathize with your frustration. My biggest professional regret is spending 2 years wilting away in LTC/SNF. Ugh
