    2BS Nurse replied to CritCareTech's topic in General Nursing

    COVID: It's Time to be Outspoken

    2BS Nurse replied to Jenna Arsenault's topic in Disaster Preparation

    "Continual non-confrontational discussion allaying fears can work". I will discuss with my patients as part of my job. For my own sanity, I am done discussing with friends and family. I now...

    2BS Nurse replied to guest1163268's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Ouch!! this post got sneakily political! "If it weren't for people making poor life choices how many patients would we really have?" Have we forgotten about justice? Giving the same quality...

    Critical Thinking Meets the Aspiration Debate

    2BS Nurse replied to Jon E Soskis's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    2BS Nurse replied to CritCareTech's topic in General Nursing

    "Every setting is required to have a survey every "x" amount of years-x varies by setting/specialty" I'm sure dialysis is under its own scrutiny. I have seen an infection preventionist walk...

    2BS Nurse replied to EDNurseCleveland's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I would never access a coworker's chart unless they are on my clinic schedule or I am triaging a phone call. There is a lot of PHI you can see just by looking at that first Epic screen. Is a...

    Critical Thinking Meets the Aspiration Debate

    2BS Nurse replied to Jon E Soskis's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    To protect yourself, always follow your hospital's policy, regardless of what other nurses/MAs say. I do know someone who gave a vaccine and the patient sued the clinic for shoulder injury. If you...

    2BS Nurse replied to CritCareTech's topic in General Nursing

    Have you worked in outpatient? In my setting, there is a defined scope (policy) that everyone pretty much ignores and gets away with ignoring (give someone an inch and they will take a mile) or they...

    Critical Thinking Meets the Aspiration Debate

    2BS Nurse replied to Jon E Soskis's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    First of all, please provide a source for the statement "Not aspirating risks killing your patient". Where is the proof? The above epi example has nothing to do with aspiration, as the wrong dose was...

    2BS Nurse replied to CritCareTech's topic in General Nursing

    Ask for the $24/hr. When you say "helped work the floor" did you just shadow in your scrubs or actually do procedures, etc? If Covid was rampant, that would be a good reason to change into

    @SmilingBluEyes I think it helps when both spouses have experience working in health care because they can understand what the other is going through. I have seen MANY divorces occur due to this lack...

    2BS Nurse replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, it's typically the rural areas that have less jobs.The big systems by me have Hundreds of job postings. In any other non health care industry, you might have to move to find a good job. Why...

    Covid 2021 Survey: How is your staffing determined and do you feel it is safe? Do you experience moral distress?

    2BS Nurse replied to NursesTakeDC's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Clinic staff is not getting adequate training and nobody is checking annual competencies. I can't even imagine this happening within the inpatient setting. It's as if the education department has...
