    I Hurt A Patient

    Wuzzie replied to MInurse.st's topic in General Nursing

    Won't be getting that here. Having feelings is valid. Feeling you do not deserve to be a nurse isn't. You need to call you EAP

    Paperwork or punches?

    I left a flight nurse position due to the toxic culture of the staff and took a position in an oncology clinic. I feel like a human

    Med error..... Could I lose my license?

    Wuzzie replied to RN66's topic in General Nursing

    You aren't going to lose your license. Tell your manager, or it will look like you are trying to hide something. Follow the rights of medication administration every.single.time. Move on and do...

    I think mandating certification in your chosen specialty rather than writing a million papers will have more impact on patient outcomes. We're missing the

    New grad from online RN program with ZERO CLINICAL EXPERIENCE

    Wuzzie replied to angel1312's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you but when said nurse hasn’t actually practiced the process enough to figure out that you don’t put the unsheathed needle down on the mayo stand when you’ve decided to reposition...

    New grad from online RN program with ZERO CLINICAL EXPERIENCE

    Wuzzie replied to angel1312's topic in General Nursing

    I experienced having a new grad who had almost no actual clinical training as my nurse. It was not pretty. I am truly concerned for both the new nurses and the patients. A huge disservice is being...

    80% BSN by 2020: Where Are We Now?

    Wuzzie replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    Kinda harsh don't you think considering here we are 48 years later and it hasn't happened! Also, you've been around long enough to know that limiting our numbers has never made us more valuable....

    Experiencing racism and xenophobia when coming to CA to help with Covid

    Wuzzie replied to xwill327's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Oh no, me either. I've watched my sister struggle with this in our own family. But I still am highly suspicious of what actually transpired. Frankly, I don't give a hoot who people choose to sleep...

    Wuzzie replied to Biggredd305's topic in General Nursing

    Oh dear, not to put too fine of a point on it but no ED, no ICU and certainly no OR is going to take a new grad with 5 months experience and put them on the unit without an extensive orientation which...

    Why be a floor nurse when they don't care?

    Wuzzie replied to NursesDontNeedChairstoChart12hrShift's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That’s the problem. You’re picking fights, currently with random strangers who have done nothing to you whatsoever, and this approach never, ever works. This forum, fortunately, is about as...

    Covid Vaccine

    Wuzzie replied to Nurseybl06's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You may not have to make the decision any time soon. My state has 11.5 million people in it. We have been told we will be allotted 30,000 doses once it’s approved. That’s only enough for 15,000...
