    Getting Flack For Not Getting Covid Vaccine

    Curious, I don’t think trying to shame people into action is ever very

    Asked To Change My Nursing Note...

    Ummm, I don’t think that’s kosher at all. Agree with FBT take this up the chain. It might get messy for you but it’s a patient safety issue. They might bluster about it but they are on the wrong...

    Getting Flack For Not Getting Covid Vaccine

    Not all experts are subscribing to this. I think Fauci’s “we might have to mask until 2023” and double-mask idea is an overreach. I supported him until this nonsense. He needs to stop making...

    Sick all the time first year at the hospital

    Nope, I finally got exposed to just about everything and developed a robust immunity as a result. It does get better. PS: Other than required PPE I don’t do anything special. I don’t...

    Sick all the time first year at the hospital

    It happened when I first started working in the ED. Sick all the time for the first year. After that rarely sick but when it happened yowzers was I
  9. This is a giant smokescreen to cover up that the OP just doesn’t want to do it. OP none of the tasks you’ve been asked to do are beyond extremely basic level nursing. Some of them aren’t even...

    Asked To Change My Nursing Note...

    Clearly the guy was in distress and you did a proper assessment but other than slightly decreased respirations nothing else supported a narcotic overdose which, in the end, he wasn’t actually...

    Asked To Change My Nursing Note...

    I’m fairly certain the report goes up the chain. Also, agree with JKL, I don’t think Narcan was the right intervention in the first place. Your assessment does not support it so making a big stink...

    None of the bolded is appropriate for the patient chart. It should be documented in an incident

    That’s what incident reports are
  14. This. This right here is the problem. I’ve said this before. This. Is. Not. Normal. The OP needs to explore this with a professional to fix it before it’s too

    It’s not a matter of disagreeing. What you wrote is absolutely rubbish. If you are a nurse you should know
  18. I don’t work in the ICU so I’m mostly speculating. There were 31 patients on vents a week ago and more the week before. The number has been steadily dropping and not all due to deaths but I...
  19. Update. The Good! The refrigerated semi has been removed. Our admitted COVID/PUIs are down to around 100. 24 on vents. The Bad! Only 6.4% of my state’s residents are fully vaccinated. Most of...

    Non Clinical Positions For New Grads

    Awesome entré into the community. ? But to answer your question and clarify a few things. 1. Overall very few of us have an issue with ABSN other than they tend to be beastly expensive. 2....

    COVID Faces

    I don’t think you’re crazy. The tip of my nose is pushed down from where it used to be and I have a permanent dent on the bridge. It’s obvious in pictures. Hope it goes back to normal.

    What’s the farthest you would be willing to commute?

    Mine was around 2 hours depending on traffic getting out of my city. Longer if the roads were bad. It made me a zombie. I had no quality of life and it beat my car up something fierce. Wasn’t worth...

    What’s the farthest you would be willing to commute?
