1. Forced to get flu shot or wear a mask

   DarkEyed replied to nurse0614's topic in General Nursing

   I dont agree with it either. I never got the flu shot. But sometimes you gotta suck it up

2. AN Announcement

   DarkEyed replied to caliotter3's topic in General Nursing

   I've been away for awhile? Can anyone tell me, as much as is legal to say that is, what the heck is going on?!

3. How to react nicely if a patient asks for your social media acct?

   DarkEyed replied to hedzinkwly's topic in Relations

   I would just say "I want to maintain professionalism and prefer to keep my work and personal life separate." Seems kinda odd. Was this patient long term enough to want to get to know you on a personal level?

4. You know your nurse brain is still at work when....

   DarkEyed replied to EmpathyInAction's topic in General Nursing

   When I frantically search for my work keys in my pocket when I am at the grocery store.

5. 'Right to Die', what's your take on it?

   DarkEyed replied to Shari888, BSN, RN's topic in General Nursing

   Who am I to tell a person they cannot die in peace? I believe everyone deserves dignity and a choice in how they leave the world.

6. Words You Hate

   DarkEyed replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in General Nursing

7. Inaccurate respiratory rates

   DarkEyed replied to MattNurse's topic in General Nursing

   I generally trust CNAs. In a critical case or a patient I am concerned with I will do respers myself. I have also noticed with certain CNAS that all my patients had RR of 16. What a coincidence!

9. Parent Faked Order?

   DarkEyed replied to lifelearningrn's topic in School

   I think you handled it the right way. There is definitely something strange with all of that...

10. Should I leave this racist town?

    DarkEyed replied to ChutneyFries's topic in Relations

    I am sorry to hear of this. What your preceptor said is completely unacceptable. I would speak to HR. I will also say this, not everyone who flies the rebel flag is racist. I fly for southern pride and small government. Absolutely nothing racist with...

11. Being forced to stay at work. (West Virginia)

    DarkEyed replied to Sixtr's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry you were held hostage at work! YIKES

12. Nursing is a passion?

    DarkEyed replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in Professionalism

    I like being a nurse but I would not say it's my passion.

13. Going back to OB

    DarkEyed replied to Gma2one's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes I look at my old school books (if you kept them) to brush up. Do some research and se if they have any continuing education classes on OB in your area. Good luck!

14. I'm so torn! Stay wth clinic job or take med surg offer?

    DarkEyed replied to Jaellys's topic in General Nursing

    I'd see if you could keep your clinic job and work PRN on the weekends on med surg. Many of my friends got their foot in the door this way

15. Do you get hit/spit on? Does body fluids splash on you?

    DarkEyed replied to KatFUTUREnurse's topic in General Nursing

    it's just part of the job! When I was an LPN at the prison when I first started out in my nursing journey, I got spit on, urine thrown at me, and semen shot at me. Lovely.
