    Is Anonymity Important to You?

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

    Do employers really have time to read Allnurses posts? I choose to be anonymous on the internet as a whole. I've experienced too many strange patient behaviors (A PA I worked with had to shut...

    Pandemic: The Beginning

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

    I just saw a news report about a RT who lost her intubated mother to Covid. She got the phone call while she was caring for another patient at her hospital. So tragic. Thank you for all you

    2BS Nurse replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    "I make about $50,000/year less in my current job than I could make if I were still in hospital leadership". Wow, where do you live that inpatient leadership makes that much more money? "All...

    Compassion Fatigue - Staying Positive

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

    "It just terrifies me to start over" Be brave. I've never regretted starting a new position. At the very least, you can collect some knowledge to take with you if the job doesn't work

    Finally Left Nursing!

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

    "Corrections health was my favorite of the nursing jobs that I had, so I will probably go back as on call there". Can I ask, are you a male? Is this setting safe for females? I am hearing about...

    The Art of Delegating | What Nurses Do

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

    We need to go beyond these nursing school (perfect world) suggestions about "the art of delegation" that we've all read in textbooks. We need advice on "what to do when you're continuously short-...

    New Man of the House

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

    I wish the general public could get a detailed description of a Covid ICU patient. A video walk through of all the tubes, drains, lines and what each one does and why. A non-technical narration of...

    Calling in sick on last day?

    2BS Nurse replied to amz93's topic in General Nursing

    I don't like going away parties at work (or birthday parties for that matter). They make me very uncomfortable. Maybe that's why they didn't come to work the last day. We once had a MD who didn't tell...

    Advice please

    2BS Nurse replied to NicKi0410's topic in General Nursing

    Which position would be better?

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

    Do you have a family and/or children under your care? I think that would be my most important consideration. I get bored easily too and would have been willing to put up with more stress if I could go...

    Nursing School A Mistake

    2BS Nurse replied to wogatu's topic in General Students

    Remember, you don't have to work at the inpatient setting. You won't make as much money in outpatient, but it's an option (Just make sure you have no desire to work in a surgery center, as a travel...

    Unfair Grading

    2BS Nurse replied to RoseTh93's topic in General Students

    Just put your head down and do the work. Fly under the radar as much as possible. These types of evaluations are subjective. They will find a way to fail you if you give them one. When you get...
