  1. A Feminist Approach to the Opioid Epidemic

    guest52816 replied to Issaiah1332's topic in General Nursing

    The current opioid crisis was brought about the marketing of OxyContin by it's manufacturer. That is the plain, and simple truth. This article just left me thinking: Huh? How did the author...

  2. What do you think of 12 hour shifts

    guest52816 replied to RNattie's topic in General Nursing

    Are you able to self-schedule? I work nights too, and honestly, I hate working three 12s in a row. By night number three, I am a zombie. It is just a difficult shift, no matter how you slice it. But...

  3. NCLEX-RN: What does it mean to pass with 75

    guest52816 replied to NS94's topic in General Nursing

    Passing NCLEX in 75 questions means you passed by answering the fewest questions possible, and so you get to leave the testing center and distress ASAP. That may not seem like a big deal, but when you...

  4. New RN, and hate nursing already

    guest52816 replied to FNPStudentLife's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. First, I really want to tell you that I am sorry for your bad experiences. Don't misunderstand me, I am a fairly new nurse too (graduated May 2016), and I have had my share of crappy patients...

  5. Assignment Despite Objection (ADO) in SNF/Sub-Acute Facility

    guest52816 replied to ronzrivera's topic in General Nursing

    It sometimes itn't as simple as "reporting the facility." I attempted to report the psychiatric facility that I worked at to the state and I was told that on paper, the facility had proper staffing....

  6. Catholic Nurse Sues Duke University Hospital After Refusing to Assist with Abortions

    guest52816 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

    I am sorry, but people in this country aren't given carte blanche to live according to their beliefs. For instance, many people believe in the practice of female genital mutilation. But if you...

  7. Fired from my first RN job after only 2 weeks.

    guest52816 replied to Mountainrnbsn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Again, you cut out part of my quote. I also stated that folks SHOULD look to their BON! Anyway, I have already given advice to the OP. The rest of this is simply a tangent that does what, exactly?...

  8. Catholic Nurse Sues Duke University Hospital After Refusing to Assist with Abortions

    guest52816 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

    Yes, as I stated earlier, this is obviously a case that was brought to further widen the scope of so-called Religious Freedom. Nothing more. We have seen a growing number of these cases. It is another...

  9. To go to HR, or not??

    guest52816 replied to snh2009's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I would take the above poster's advice. You need to understand that HR is there to protect your employer from lawsuits. They do not function for your, or any other employee's benefit. And if you work...

  10. Fired from my first RN job after only 2 weeks.

    guest52816 replied to Mountainrnbsn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    She actually said they operate under preceptor's license. Yeah, as I already said, she wanted preceptors to understand that orientees weren't simply there to pick up the slack, while the preceptor...

  11. Fired from my first RN job after only 2 weeks.

    guest52816 replied to Mountainrnbsn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    According to my NM (you cut out the rest of my comment), they are. You should probably check with your

  12. Fired from my first RN job after only 2 weeks.

    guest52816 replied to Mountainrnbsn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yes, an orientee has their own license. But during orientation, the orientee is operating under the license of the preceptor. My NM made this very clear just few weeks ago, when she sent out an...

  13. Catholic Nurse Sues Duke University Hospital After Refusing to Assist with Abortions

    guest52816 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

    My guess is this lawsuit is part of the wider effort we have seen with conservatives pushing the "freedom of religion" agenda. It is akin to Kim Davis, in Kentucky refusing to sign the marriage...

  14. Fired from my first RN job after only 2 weeks.

    guest52816 replied to Mountainrnbsn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    As one poster stated, we have all resigned from a job. Completely forget that you ever worked at the horrible hospital. You were there just two weeks! No time at all. I wouldn't list the job on a...

  15. Fired from my first RN job after only 2 weeks.

    guest52816 replied to Mountainrnbsn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am truly sorry for your bad experience. Take a deep breath, and as one other poster stated: Dust your self off. Eight patients is an unsafe ratio. You don't want to work at that hospital. And your...

  16. New grad - night shift difficulties

    guest52816 replied to BlueShoes12's topic in General Nursing

    Like the other posters, I don't really have much to offer in the way of advice, and you have tried numerous options. I work night shift too, and I probably do the opposite of what most night shift...

  17. Help with resume please

    guest52816 replied to rn2015tonow's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    The previous two posters gave you good feedback. If you follow their suggestions, you should have a solid resume to start that job search. Good luck, and I hope you find what you

  18. Overwhelmed New Grad

    guest52816 replied to RNjackie23's topic in General Nursing

    Again, what kind of feedback have you gotten from your preceptor and NM? Are there weekly meetings going over your progress? You can feel like you are drowning, and you probably are, but those on the...

  19. Overwhelmed New Grad

    guest52816 replied to RNjackie23's topic in General Nursing

    Believe me when I tell you I completely understand your situation. Last year, as a new graduate, I was employed in the same type of program as you: 24-week residency program in CVICU. Unlike you, it...

  20. Support Planned Parenthood Today!

    guest52816 replied to elkpark's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Well, here is an example from today's Washington Post of an undocumented immigrant being DENIED her constitutional right to an abortion. A federal judge has over-ruled the Trump administration in this...

  21. First Year Horror

    guest52816 replied to ajp43's topic in General Nursing

    Please feel free to come to this site and vent. It can feel so good sometimes, just to vent. I started out as new graduate in the CVICU. And I can tell you that some patients in the CVICU were just as...

  22. Support Planned Parenthood Today!

    guest52816 replied to elkpark's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I also know of NO pro-choice organization that supports women being forced to have abortions. Obviously, I am pro-choice and I don't support the idea of coercing women to do something they want to do....

  23. Support Planned Parenthood Today!

    guest52816 replied to elkpark's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    What I am saying, and what I have been saying for several posts is that living children in this country aren't valued. Many people don't want children. And when laws are enacted that make it harder...

  24. Support Planned Parenthood Today!

    guest52816 replied to elkpark's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Here is yet another story of a living child being killed at the hands of their "family." It is from today's Washington Post, and the child's family was in the home at the time of the incident, so...

  25. Terrified!!!

    guest52816 replied to Orchid535353's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you truly want to go to nursing school and become a nurse, you can do this. Like you, I was 53-years-old when I started nursing school, following a 15-year career in another profession. When I...
