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

    ajdizzle43 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    We have to value ourselves first. We nurses are always looking for outward validation, why we have 1000 'types' of nurses...and we get what we get. And then accept it, and deal. We have to value...

  2. Turbulence and Turmoil in Nursing

    ajdizzle43 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Waiters and waitresses? Bartenders and greeters? Amazon warehouse stockers and finance bros?... anyone breathing that can pass the

  3. Should Hospitals Rehire LPNs/LVNs?

    ajdizzle43 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    As a vetrinish youngish LPN, all these years of being gaslit to not being trained well enough to work in the hospital setting, unless our training has changed clinically over the last 17 years of ( me...

  4. Fear of Floating | Life of a Nurse

    ajdizzle43 replied to JeanstarMSN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. For me, I enjoyed the instability of floating. Nothing like documenting "per RN supervisor" and gone to the next random floor my next shift. It's lovely. Underpaid, but lovely. Ironically,...

  5. Night shift + ADHD

    ajdizzle43 replied to rileyjw90's topic in General Nursing

    I take my prescription medication before I embark on my job/livelyhood/license right at shift change. Everything and everyone else can deal with unmedicated AD beforehand. It's a great understanding...

  6. Career Change

    ajdizzle43 replied to ICUnurse990's topic in General Nursing

    I work as an Grad Urban and Environmental Planning intern for a city planning dept alongside dept of energy, public utilities, and environmental policy. I use the CNA/LPN critical thinking skills we...

  7. Just Feeling Done With Nursing

    ajdizzle43 replied to Nurseybl06's topic in General Nursing

    Going from working with newly blind folks in the ER from dewormer to the folks who see their purchases on the livestock shelf. It's like a weird butterfly effect twilight zone, but with dewormer. ?....

  8. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    ajdizzle43 replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The doctor can sign off due to the second shot being medically contraindicated. *If* I took a 2 dose shot, the 2nd dose my Gastro MD would have wrote a note stating as such, with evidence of my care....

  9. I Think I'm Done With Nursing

    ajdizzle43 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Nope, perhaps she just chose to stay for those who couldn't, because she could. Nothing more, nothing less. I applaud those who took time away from nursing. To the OG vets, please write...

  10. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    ajdizzle43 replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No, not at all. However, the added benefit for me is not social acceptance, it is empathy for the folks that are not vaccinating for *reasons*. I still don't care about social acceptance because of a...

  11. Termination From Employer For Refusing EUV

    ajdizzle43 replied to RaineyRN7's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Objectively speaking as a PoC, many things are way more difficult for Indigenous People, and ADOS than immigrants. Hell, for many Americans period, everyday life is a very poor existence, with minimal...

  12. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    ajdizzle43 replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I was upset. I said nope...waited to take the shot and quit. I refused the shot, because I always refuse non mandated shots, I'm "really healthy". Then my $$$ dried up. Then I said f it and took the...

  13. Vaccinated and Hospitalized?

    ajdizzle43 replied to ajdizzle43's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That makes so much sense. I also was seen by gastroenterology for potential emergency surgery. They where everywhere as well, and nothing they said made sense, the little bit I was able to decode, way...

  14. Vaccinated and Hospitalized?

    ajdizzle43 posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm here posting a personal story after a bout from the variant. I am fully vaccinated. I was hospitalized 2 months later. I was curious if I am just a rare breed? Hope so. I am in the high risk...

  15. Vaccinated and Hospitalized?

    ajdizzle43 replied to ajdizzle43's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Now that is scary. Praise God, but that makes total sense. I would have never known. Thank you kindly for your

  16. Vaccinated and Hospitalized?

    ajdizzle43 replied to ajdizzle43's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I did not want to get the vaccine. I took it for the greater good. I was admitted in the hospital for the first time ever roughly 6 weeks later. I don't know, just venting. I am sorry for the...

  17. Vaccinated and Hospitalized?

    ajdizzle43 replied to ajdizzle43's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I apologize for the confusion. Both. I was vaccinated 2 months ago. I caught the variant (I was told) from the antibodies in my system( as what the nurse said)...but I have tested negative the entire...

  18. Seasoned and Newbie Nurses

    ajdizzle43 replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    There always needs to have a level of respect. Things, topics, ideals go left because people fail to show respect. I am a "well flavored" LPN of 13 years. Depending on the situation I have the most...

  19. COVID-19 Vaccine Incentives

    ajdizzle43 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I believe the vaccine incentives are just to push past a threshold if I am not mistaken. The people who are never going to vaccinate will not be persuaded by a coupon. Those folks are too far gone....

  20. We Must Demolish NP Diploma Mills

    ajdizzle43 replied to cprimavera's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    *Disclaimer* I am an LVN on track to receive a Master's degree in <Economics not related to nursing>. In the same time, it took for me to (finally) pass LVN school (2 years), I will have...

  22. Any nurses pursue master degree that is not related to nursing?

    ajdizzle43 replied to juviasama's topic in General Nursing

    How's that degree working for you now...? Such a different perspective of human and societal spectrum whenever pandemics occur and a nurse is using GIS instead of a

  23. Unreasonable Risks are not part of the job

    ajdizzle43 replied to ReflectiveRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yell a bit louder for the folk in the back, we can not hear you through your bandana

  24. Why hasn’t pay increased? Hazard pay, etc.?

    ajdizzle43 replied to gcupid's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The airlines and Tax-Exempt-Cruise Ships that brought this virus here asked for $$$$$....And received... Healthcare is asking for $$$/Critical Equipment/Basic PPE to fight this international virus...

  25. Why hasn’t pay increased? Hazard pay, etc.?

    ajdizzle43 replied to gcupid's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Thank you for your service. I understand completely what your saying. Nursing is a job...which we are exchanged our services for labor. We nurses get it misconstrued of our purpose in this healthcare...
