    guest52816 replied to _littlemissBSN's topic in General Nursing

  3. CDC now banned from using "evidence based" and other words per White House

    guest52816 replied to babyNP.'s topic in Nursing News

    Yes, the current Director of the CDC is a big Trump supporter. What would you expect her to say? I would expect her to remain loyal to her boss no matter how ridiculous the mandate from that boss....

  4. CDC now banned from using "evidence based" and other words per White House

    guest52816 replied to babyNP.'s topic in Nursing News

    I would like to think, and certainly hope that the United States would stand head and shoulders above this kind of behavior. The argument that "others do it too," isn't good enough and doesn't fly...

  5. CDC now banned from using "evidence based" and other words per White House

    guest52816 replied to babyNP.'s topic in Nursing News

    Yes, the "banned" words are for the budget process. Nonetheless, you must ask yourself WHY any words would be banned from use by the CDC. And look at the list of words selected for the banned list. It...

    guest52816 replied to luey87's topic in General Nursing

  8. CDC now banned from using "evidence based" and other words per White House

    guest52816 replied to babyNP.'s topic in Nursing News

    Right on! Why believe a statement from the agency itself, or the NY Times for that matter. And certainly why believe the newspaper that gave us the Pentagon Papers and helped to bring down a corrupt...

  10. Those Who Have Left Nursing

    guest52816 replied to harumi22's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I got reamed out by a family member two weeks ago, for daring to call to alert family that patient was declining. The patient's family screamed at me: Are you saying she is going to die tonight?...

    guest52816 replied to babyNP.'s topic in Nursing News

    And the dumbing down of the United States continues, at an ever faster rate! This follows the pattern of the administration preventing climate scientists working for the government from mentioning...

  12. Those Who Have Left Nursing

    guest52816 replied to harumi22's topic in General Nursing

  15. Landing first nursing job with 3.2/3.3

    guest52816 replied to nrsingstudent18's topic in General Nursing

    What do you need to do to get hired in the Houston area? Pass NCLEX. Since becoming an RN in May 2016, I have been hired for three different nursing jobs. None of my employers asked for my

  16. Quiting on short notice

    guest52816 replied to Jplvn's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I empathize with you, I really do. Working at a facility such as this one is probably a big reason why some of your co-workers have the "it's just a paycheck" attitude. If they didn't adopt that...

  17. Are new grads prepared for the bedside?

    guest52816 replied to Robert.CFRN's topic in General Nursing

    No, new graduates aren't prepared to work at the bedside. And I can honestly say that because I graduated May, 2016, with an ADN. We actually did very little hands-on care during our clinical time....

  18. Many nurses do not chart?

    guest52816 replied to Guest716906's topic in General Nursing

    You are right, nursing school teaches nothing about charting. And I am recent graduate (May, 2016). We spent time learning how to do hospital corners (with sheets), even though hospitals use fitted...

  19. Many nurses do not chart?

    guest52816 replied to Guest716906's topic in General Nursing

    Where I work, we are told we must chart certain things, such as each time we pick up the phone and notify the MD of something, or request medication, etc. I only write long, narrative notes on...

    guest52816 replied to Dementia_galLPN's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Let us know how you are doing once you get back to work. Yes, I would definitely to back on a part-time basis. Try and break down this issue into small blocks. Was work a trigger for panic attacks?...

    guest52816 replied to elkpark's topic in Activism, Healthcare
