  2. Rooting out Racial Bias in Nursing: Hope and Grace

    Guest856929 replied to jeastridge's topic in General Specialties

    What is odd about my reference of BLM and the Ebola analogy? Do you understand how pain is transmitted physiologically? In the previous example, if your patient had an interscalene regional block with...

  3. Trying to get into the ICU but no luck as a new grad

    Guest856929 replied to guest1076655's topic in General Nursing

    What is your end goal? Why do you need to get in an ICU immediately after obtaining licensure sans

  4. I Need Help

    Guest856929 replied to BirdieMay04's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Wow! How does this benefit anyone other than creating more problems, especially if it is a voluntary admission?

  5. I Need Help

    Guest856929 replied to BirdieMay04's topic in Nurses Recovery

    1. GET HELP PRONTO 2. This might be unpopular, but self-reporting is opening a can of worms not worth your time and resources, unless you feel that it will help with your addiction and recovery....

  6. I Need Help

    Guest856929 replied to BirdieMay04's topic in Nurses Recovery

    How do they screen that? Do they search if you are a nurse or just ask? That is inappropriate on so many levels from my

  7. Nurses make me sick

    Guest856929 replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    It is concerning to see the level of unmitigated narcicism being propelled by these social media apps/sites. I am glad that I own shares in them, but I do not belong in them as a participant. At least...

  8. Nurses make me sick

    Guest856929 replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    The ones overtly crying on social media are the ones who tout having a "calling" for nursing. Ugh. The paradox of self-pity and sanctimoniousness is quite

  9. Rooting out Racial Bias in Nursing: Hope and Grace

    Guest856929 replied to jeastridge's topic in General Specialties

    Could you have offered more than this platitude of a retort? Read my response again, and make it make sense

  10. Rooting out Racial Bias in Nursing: Hope and Grace

    Guest856929 replied to jeastridge's topic in General Specialties

    Again there are facts and there are anecdotes. The facts indicate that there are inequalities in the provision of care, especially relative to black people (POC is too wide of a brush). These facts...

  11. Rooting out Racial Bias in Nursing: Hope and Grace

    Guest856929 replied to jeastridge's topic in General Specialties

    If you tell me your pain is 9/10 after I have given you fentanyl and hydromorphone while still insisting that you need more narcotics, other factors have to be considered like your respiratory status...

  12. How do you deal with workplace discrimination?

    Guest856929 replied to Lovethenurse2b25's topic in General Nursing

  13. How do you deal with workplace discrimination?

    Guest856929 replied to Lovethenurse2b25's topic in General Nursing

    Unless the patients are complaining about your demeanor, the DON should not be focusing on personality pageantry among staff. This might be unpopular herein, but I am willing to bet that this is more...

  14. How do you tell a family member their loved one will die?

    Guest856929 replied to CaliRN2019's topic in General Nursing

    I state facts, not speculation. Tell them that the patient's hemodynamic status is unstable, and if the patient continues to deteriorate, what would the family like to pursue? Inquire about their...

  15. Rooting out Racial Bias in Nursing: Hope and Grace

    Guest856929 replied to jeastridge's topic in General Specialties

    I disagree with pain being what the patient says it is. What the patient says is definitely a component of pain, but not the entirety of pain as a phenomenon. Additionally, some patients do lie. I...

  16. Huge Zoom Mistake....Nurse Instructors Caught!

    Guest856929 replied to Pre.Nurse_tobe's topic in General Nursing

    The profane things I want to say about these knuckleheaded so called professors would get me banned from this site. I wish someone recorded it. It needs to go public pronto and chickens need to come...

  17. Rooting out Racial Bias in Nursing: Hope and Grace

    Guest856929 replied to jeastridge's topic in General Specialties

    I think racism is often misunderstood, overused, and

  18. How to Answer a Patient Who Asks: "Does God Exist?"

    Guest856929 replied to S.I.C.'s topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Jesus Christ! Jesus was not religious. He did not create Christianity. Like all religions, Christianity is absolutely man-made -conceived, germinated, and maintained by humans, chief among them is the...

  19. How to Answer a Patient Who Asks: "Does God Exist?"

    Guest856929 replied to S.I.C.'s topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I respect your dogmatic convictions. Beliefs (unthinking doctrines) notwithstanding, Christianity did not start with Jesus Christ who by all accounts is the figment of ancient Palestinian imagination...

  20. Rooting out Racial Bias in Nursing: Hope and Grace

    Guest856929 replied to jeastridge's topic in General Specialties

    In your eyes, it was the same level of poor care to everyone. There’s anecdotes then there’s facts. The former can easily be skewed by narrow-mindedness and bias, especially if you have the...

  21. How to Answer a Patient Who Asks: "Does God Exist?"

    Guest856929 replied to S.I.C.'s topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Christianity for sure did. Once upon a time, it was a means to control the primitive, now it’s a lucrative Ponzi

  22. What is up with the level of entitlement?

    Guest856929 replied to sofla98's topic in General Nursing

    This is the type of thinking that the company loves. How's that working for you? I am thankful that people have stood up in the past and continue to do so. It is the only way that nurses were able to...

  23. What is up with the level of entitlement?

    Guest856929 replied to sofla98's topic in General Nursing

    Each subsequent generation starting with the boomers have become more unencumbered with

  24. General Nursing Melting Pot

    Guest856929 replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Similar to sour lemon, paradoxically, I come here to productively waste time. I find some of the self-destructive, dark aspects of humanity quite fascinating. As such, I usually peruse the addictions...

  25. Self-Actualization in Nursing

    Guest856929 replied to S.I.C.'s topic in General Specialties

    Hey S.I.C I think you are conflating a graduate student and a graduating student. The former is a student who has completed undergraduate studies and is seeking higher learning I.e. masters,...
