    Leave of Absence?

    pixierose replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    What, what? Your doctor told you no?! NO - that’s BS. Look, I also have MS and cancer and could get FMLA for those in a heartbeat by a doc. But, I’m more wary about my mood - it’s the...

    Leave of Absence?

    pixierose replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, so many (((hugs))). I also have bipolar disorder, and thus the COVID pandemic ... and the loss, the constant loss (not to mention my other patients ... the detoxing patients trying to leave, my...

    Living as an older individual with comorbidities

    pixierose replied to Hillbilly RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My aunt lives in NE TN; she loves the milder winters as opposed from the harsh NE ones (although I so can’t complain about our nonexistent one this year). Hillbilly, I loved those pics ❤️. The...

    Should every healthcare worker in the hospital wear full PPE if working with patients regardless of the unit

    pixierose replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It’s difficult enough getting those rapid testing for my patients ... uh, rapid. There is a serious backlog, and believe me, it’s better than it was. I can’t imagine unnecessary tests on top of...

    A nurse struggled with COVID-19 trauma. He was found dead in his car

    pixierose replied to sirI's topic in Disaster Preparation

    So heartbreaking. May he finally find his peace. Working on a COVID unit, and being immunocompromised, I’ve felt that very real fear. Hearing a code and feeling that frustration as you’re trying...

    Living as an older individual with comorbidities

    pixierose replied to Hillbilly RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Let’s move on ... One of my coworkers passed away early on from COVID ... she didn’t have any comorbidities, and she was just so young (early 30’s). This was while I was still in the ED. Her...

    Living as an older individual with comorbidities

    pixierose replied to Hillbilly RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    If you want to start another thread, go for it. However, back off - this isn’t the thread for your blatant lack of respect and empathy. It takes a cold individual to discount the very real fear that...

    Living as an older individual with comorbidities

    pixierose replied to Hillbilly RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I feel a sense of disgust for people that have no empathy for their fellow American, and a sense of sadness when common sense lacks. Hillbilly - “covidiot” ... I like

    Living as an older individual with comorbidities

    pixierose replied to Hillbilly RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    “We youth and the rest of the society” Think about someone else for once before you post; how about you put yourself in someone else’s shoes and validate that fear? It’s very real for someone...

    What is your "favorite" procedure?

    Should I ignore people who say that every career should have a week dedicated to them?

    pixierose replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    They advertised that we were supposed to get cookies and we never got them. I didn’t get anything this year. My NM said, “at least you didn’t get COVID!”

    First year nurse. Thinking about leaving field altogether.

    pixierose replied to mhadvrn34's topic in General Nursing

    Please do this. You’re not giving yourself a fair chance. You identified the med errors - and it sounds like you’re going wayyyyyy too fast. Always always always go by the 5 rights. At the psych...

    Stop Hating on Psych Nurses

    pixierose replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    It IS sad to see that mental health still carries such a stigma - psych is EVERYWHERE. I feel extremely lucky in that my first position (and continued per diem position) was/is psych. Learning to...

    Fear and Anxiety

    pixierose replied to spark plug's topic in Disaster Preparation

    But I’m not scared of COVID- 19. Hence, why I actually work on a COVID floor. Pretty disgusted by this post and those preceding it, yes. Big difference which you just don’t seem to get. edited to...

    Fear and Anxiety

    pixierose replied to spark plug's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This poor “unfortunate immunocompromised soul” has and is actively contributing to the economy. I take my own personal safety seriously ... and feel safer on my COVID unit than I do in the grocery...

    What's your dream specialty?

    pixierose replied to Lynker's topic in General Nursing

    It’s good to hear that she finds it boring. I’m personally finding a lot of people that I’m sending up dying. Some of these people, I know it’ll happen. Others? I’m completely surprised....

    What's your dream specialty?

    pixierose replied to Lynker's topic in General Nursing

    ^^^ This. When I worked in Geri psych and neuro-ICU (two specialties many wouldn’t consider a dream), I loved my teams. The nurses, physicians, CNAs, RTs, OTs, PTs ... both jobs had dynamic teams....

    Did I make the wrong call?

    pixierose replied to FolksBtrippin's topic in General Nursing

    Good heavens, no. As soon as she said, “if there was anything else (you) did that was reportable” she lost my attention. Aye yi yi. You’re helping them out, responded correctly by verifying...

    Are Big City Hospitals Really Getting Hit With COVID-19 Pts?

    pixierose replied to EPS's topic in Disaster Preparation

    “Relax.” I just can’t with this statement. “We are all in this together.” The OPs wife surely doesn’t believe so; her actions do not demonstrate this. ”... To be aggressively berating...

    Are Big City Hospitals Really Getting Hit With COVID-19 Pts?

    pixierose replied to EPS's topic in Disaster Preparation

    But you WILL get rants. People are dying, often alone, and many of us are risking our own health and safety to provide their care. Have you seen the amount of threads on here asking “should I stay a...
