    AT A LOSS - COVID High Risk Nurse

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

    Only YOU can decide what's best for you. With the current PPE shortage, I think you made the right call. Had they been willing to work with you and move you elsewhere, it may have been

    Boyfriend wants me to stay away

    2BS Nurse replied to LauRN3367's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm really sorry this is happening to you... and probably so many other relationships out there. I wish it was going to get better soon. Buckle in and stay strong. This too shall

    Have you found yourself blurring the professional boundary?

    2BS Nurse replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    Patients don't seem to care in the outpatient setting. I'll bet a male nurse could not get away with that

    Any program graduations delayed or cancelled due to COVID19?

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

    I bet they'll give you the option of attending a future ceremony with the next graduating class. Students catching Covid-19 may be a liability issue for the hospitals. They could definitely help, but...

    COVID-19 Are the droplets somewhat airborne? Conflicting reports

    2BS Nurse replied to Pete W.'s topic in Disaster Preparation

    Since we're not testing everyone... does administering a nebulizer treatment in the clinic cause airborne transmission? Should one be wearing a N95 mask when entering the

    Have you found yourself blurring the professional boundary?

    2BS Nurse replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    I get so annoyed when coworker calls adult patients "sweetie" , "honey" and "handsome". We shouldn't have to pour on the sugar to increase satisfaction scores. We are there to do a job and that's

    Urgent and emergent situations in the clinic

    2BS Nurse replied to Love2Sleep's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I would say "it depends on your urgent care". We are all so different. Some urgent cares are true walk in clinics that only accept colds, sore throats, etc. Others can place patients on cardiac...

    EpiPen Storage

    2BS Nurse replied to SchoolNurseK's topic in School

    "I don't think anyone other than me could find them in an emergency". This drives me crazy. Isn't it the whole clinical staff's responsibility to know where they're

    Do you consider an infiltrated IV a medical emergency

    2BS Nurse replied to guest1074618's topic in General Nursing

    My dog had hypodermoclysis once. She looked like a camel! Do ERs really hire non-nurse managers? That seems

    What would you do?

    2BS Nurse replied to Hunt er's topic in General Nursing

    If you're all about saving money, complete the ADN so you can start working as a RN (I too had a previous bachelor's degree). Have your employer pay for the online BSN. I'm doing the same job as some...

    What would you do?

    2BS Nurse replied to Hunt er's topic in General Nursing

    I second this idea! You could also eventually volunteer at the Ronald McDonald house or at an elementary school! There is something called "moral injury" in health care. More often than not, I see us...

    SO many school nurse positions available right now

    2BS Nurse replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    This is unusual I haven't heard of this in the Midwest. How would you have time to teach AND care for students?? They must be supervising health room "aides". It would be fun to teach a health course...

    Effect of 12 Hour Shifts on Patient Care and the Nurse: A Need for Change.

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

    In my state, an employer is not required to provide a lunch break. If you are forced to swipe out for 30 minutes, legally they cannot require you to stay on the premises. You'd better believe I'm...

    So Many Things Going Wrong!! PLEASE HELP ME GET A PEACE OF MIND!

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

    Don't self report something like this. It's not a "near miss". We do our best to secure our computers, but if some sort of "medical emergency" is called, most of the time we don't. We just have to...

    2BS Nurse replied to freckles23's topic in General Nursing

    Sadly, you probably need to find a new job if you're miserable. Two of my classmates, both at the top of our class in nursing school, worked as floor charge nurses. They only lasted 4-5 years on the...
