    Diary of a Nurse Who is Not 'Exceptional'

    2BS Nurse replied to PsychRN4e's topic in General Nursing

    Very beautifully written! "In a perfect world, the time and effort put forth in these essential collaborations would result in the changes needed to improve direct patient care, the circumstances...

    Quitting My Job: Returning My ID Badge- Should I be Petty?

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

    Very entertaining post! I recently took a job where the supervisor was annoyed that she had to shoulder my department. I didn't last long there. BTW, I've been asked to turned in my badge for...

    Pros and cons of RN clinic nursing?

    2BS Nurse replied to Emergent's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    "Wow. Sounds like you need better management". THIS! In my experience, the managers swoop into the units, smile, pass out treats and want to be everybody's best friend. They don't take care of...

    Pros and cons of RN clinic nursing?

    2BS Nurse replied to Emergent's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    Long time clinic nurse here. Every clinic runs its workflow differently. Your concern about workplace culture is paramount. There are definitely politics to consider. Will they let you shadow for a...

    Dislike Everyone In My Cohort

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

    I did the majority of my studying independently at home. I need quiet to absorb information (with a cup of coffee or tea). I did have a "study group" but it was mostly for social reasons. The...

    Frustrated with Hospital Disregard for RN and Patient Safety

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

    "I'm also a little scared of looking for another job. I hate, hate, hate the job search and would rather just be settled".  Nobody likes the job search or interviews! They almost always ask...

    A Little Rant And Some Failures

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

    Although it probably wouldn't make a difference, I wish every unvaccinated person was forced to read your story. ☹️ Please don't beat yourselves up ICU nurses. You're doing the jobs the rest of us...

    Do Hangover Cures Really Work?

    2BS Nurse replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    There are private IV infusion companies that provide these services (I.e. Drip Hydration Therapies). Patients should have to pay out of pocket for these therapies! Did that resident above pay just...

    Interpret This Order For Me Please

    2BS Nurse replied to guest1143647's topic in General Nursing

    Y'all have provided just an additional reason I won't work inpatient (you're damned if you do, you're damned if you don't). Outpatient confusing orders are bad enough and they constantly need to be...

    Leaving the Bedside as a New Nurse: Is It a Good Idea?

    2BS Nurse replied to thehappynurse98's topic in General Nursing

    "I can't even transfer to a different unit yet because I don't qualify until 6 months and even if I did qualify my manager has the right to hold us for a few extra months due to the staff shortage"....

    Epic HIPAA violation

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

    Am I crazy or too old for considering this??

    2BS Nurse replied to Seaturtle01's topic in General Nursing

    Only you can decide what's most important for you. Can you afford to work 2 shifts/week? This would be an ideal start. You can always pick up shifts in nursing, but it's hard to decrease. Keep in mind...

    Newly Licensed RN, No Experience, Graduated 10 Years Ago

    2BS Nurse replied to hopefulnurse311's topic in First Year After Licensure

    @Dani_Mila: When I went full time I accrued a bunch of PTO I wasn't allowed to redeem, especially around holidays. Working part time, you don't need as much PTO. Using a day here and there is not...

    Newly Licensed RN, No Experience, Graduated 10 Years Ago

    2BS Nurse replied to hopefulnurse311's topic in First Year After Licensure

    "So better to get part time and just pick up shifts then?" Yes, unless you really need the benefits and have to go full time. I can't think of one instance where any part-time nurse was denied...

    Epic HIPAA violation

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

    "Why are you not shaking in your boots about this rule like everyone else is?" Because I don't violate HIPAA. "I would NEVER!! I can't believe someone would do this". Haven't we all...

    CNA's Are Tired Of Laziness

    2BS Nurse replied to mlmckenzie's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    On that note... I cannot believe the wide scope of practice medical assistants have in my state. They can pretty much do anything but administer IV push medications. I feel bad for the ones who are...

    Writing “poop” is unprofessional?

    2BS Nurse replied to guest1143647's topic in General Nursing

    Yet it's OK for patients to send nasty messages about us through their charts. ? This thread is making me laugh tonight!!

    Vaccination Mandating

    2BS Nurse replied to Ariemay82's topic in Disaster Preparation

    We would never administer IV pain meds in urgent care. We didn't even stock narcotics. IM sumatriptan and IM ketorolac were the only meds we administered for migraines. Sometimes IV

    Switching from nurse to daycare teacher??

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

    Have you considered 1 on 1 nursing care in the school setting? These cases almost always require vent training, but you can get certified at most Children's Hospitals. Most facilities want to keep...

    Vaccination Mandating

    2BS Nurse replied to Ariemay82's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think retired nurses would be willing to help if they didn't have to deal with the corporate crap. Just common sense nursing with no strings attached. "Our outdoor ER waits have decreased to...

    Vaccination Mandating

    2BS Nurse replied to Ariemay82's topic in Disaster Preparation

    We should have kept our portable Covid centers open for strictly Covid patients. Keep all Covid (testing, treatment, vaccinations) away from clinics and hospitals. This wouldn't work in our current...

    Epic HIPAA violation

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

    "Who has enough time to be sitting around doing this anyways?" You'd be shocked at what I see staff have "time for" in the outpatient setting. Lots of facebook, Yahoo News and web surfing....
