There is not enough context to determine the intent. Some people are just list maker. Way to many variables. Also, are they things that could not be completed for a reason. Patient fell, coded, order written near shift change, is this a unit understaffed, is there too many tasks for that shift, etc. I don't ***-u-me the worst of a colleague. Depending upon if it's dayshift verses night shift. Or 8 hour shifts. There is only so much time in a shift so things will be passed on.

Why is the only stand vacinne mandates. I know many have COVID antibodies from COVID illnesses. Why can we have antibody testing? Research is showing natural immunity is as good if not better than vaccinated immunity.

Thank you for being one of the first nurses to support vaccine choice. I have many colleagues here in MT that have made the well thought out choice not to be vaccinated at this point. I will cite the following reasons why I'm not ready to be a test subject for a vaccine that does not meet minimal efficiency standards. 1. Worked from the being of the COVID Pandemic with appropriate PPE and universal precautions and did not contract COVID while caring for potentially infected and actual infected patients. 2. No long-term data of how this vaccine will effect anyone in 5, 10 and more years. 3. Work with a pharmacist, several doctors, half the nurses on my own unit and multiple other providers who have choosen not to be vaccinated at this point. The even bigger reason is most of those whom are vaccinated say it should be a choice. 4. Boosters being needed after 6 months does not meet efficiency for a vaccine. 5.There has been no previous RNA vaccine that worked long-term that I can find. Please provide information if you have information otherwise. 6. As for my colleagues saying we are mandated to have other vaccines. Those vaccines have decades of research. Please don't compare Noval COVID-19 to Polio. The first Polio Pandemic was in the early 1890s. The first vaccine was in the 1950s. 6 decades of knowledge of the illness and its affects. Also, survival rate and major complications doesn't compare to an illness less than a 2 year old. 7. Why are they giving a vaccine to inhibit the spike protein that isn't on the newer variants?... 8. Final reason as a healthcare provider protecting a patient's right to have informed choice is all our responsibility. If we are willing to give up our own right, how easy will it be to take the next step and violate our patients rights. •Will we start with mandated vaccines for the good of all. •Next forced procedure because well we know best... •Remove life support because well they are over 80 and we need those resources for someone else. •Slippery slope....

This is rampant on units. It's called Achedemic Mobbing and it's a direct result of management not directly addressing the root cause. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4170397/

I believe you might have nurses present less for note for their employers because they may have friends/colleagues who are willing to help them out. Because the requirement of a doctor's note when you l know your sick with an illness that doesn't require a prescription and don't need to pay a co-pay, while dragging your sick kids to an office visit to help infect the rest of the community. The cycle never ends with flu, cold and URI infection season.

She came out to the waiting area to call the next patient back for a procedure. She wasn't actively providing care. I can put my hair up on 30 seconds in my sleep. Your clip or pony tail pulls down. So most will take their hair down off and on to adjust the weight or position of the hair on their head for comfort. Also most procedures require the staff to wear a surgical cap. Seems like she would be securing her hair up prior to patient care.

This question is not about helping out a co-workers who is busy. This is about a nurse neglecting the patient's personal hygiene.

Regardless of it they will pursue a person or not it not the point. You entered into a contact. I'm sure you are not the first staff to have to leave. I'm sure there are options to buy yourself out of the final two months on the contract. Maybe you have enough leave to take to make up most of that time you'd be leaving early. I'm sure buying out two months is not that much. Find out your options and choose ther best to suit both you and the employer. To me allowing it to go into a credit report and/or not working with the employer is wrong. It will affect your position with that company in the future. It could affect how they respond to the question as to if you are rehirable or not when you need a reference. It may affect how the facility deals with future nurses contracts.

I saw this all the time in ICU with our suicide attempts and mental health patients. Instead of leaving I choose to embrace those patients to protect them from the nurses who I felt were not empathic and/Or down right judgmental of those patients. I would volunteer to take those patients. Stating that I had family who have had serious issues in these area and that I feel I connect well with them. This gave the patients a nurse that was more suited to handle their care. It also put the other nurses on notice that they are speaking ill of patients who others may see as extensions of their own family and friends.

I understand what your friend did was a breach to your friendship. If you don't want someone to know information you can't tell that information or it will leak out. Even if she worked at the same faculty as you receive care this would not have been a breach of HIPAA if you told her this as a friend. The only time it would be is if she was involved personally in your medical care or accessed your chart. The fact that it was outed on FB accidently seems odd if you told her that you didn't want anyone to know yet. The fact that you actually thought about going to her boss over an issue in your friendship seems to indicate there may be more to the turmoil in the friendship. Her breach ruins a surprise for the family. Your potential action could ruin a career.

It would depend why you don't like being a CNA. If it's because you're not challenged then nursing should work. If it's because you don't like people then nursing is not a fit.

Have you checked to see if this is covered under your or her home owners policy? This might be an option. I'd then offer to split the deductible with her to save the relationship. It was an accident and if you were both studying and didn't set ground rules it could have been the other way around.

@ Ruby Vee and disillusionedrn I've been in nursing 25 yrs I've seen both of what you speak of. I believe this sparked the debate because nursing has been disrespected by the media, TV and others for decades. It's like when you can talk about your family but you won't let anyone else talk about them. Either way nurses have found their voice and now know we have influence if we unite.

As for The View and the women who said those things. I believe women in general were tired of those women representing the of women of America.
