Hello all, Would you leave a fully remote position with little vacation time and expensive benefits to work at the VA with greater benefits, hospital setting, same pay? What's your thoughts?

Hello Can someone please email me a copy of their Nurse 3 proficiency that was approved to [email protected]. I so thank and appreciate you! God Bless!

Hello, I'm a remote RN Care Manager who's been now tasked to titrate patient's GLP-1/ insulin combination medication weekly based on the patients verbalized blood sugars. This will be a standard order for my company. The doctor will write the initial dose , however this will be nurse driven and the nurses will be responsible to increase the insulin weekly for a few weeks. Has anyone heard of this practice? Thanks

Is is the norm for CM calls to be recorded, critiqued, and then given a grade by management? Please chime in ! TIA

Hello friends! Has anyone ever heard of a nurse managing insulin for patients, hospital setting or otherwise. For example, managing and titrating doses? TIA

Thanks everyone ☺

Hello my fellow nurses! I need some advice. So I've been in my role over a year and I receive job alerts still from when I was searching. Well, one of the alerts was my job!! Yep, I'm the only nurse in my current role and my director hasn't mentioned they were adding a position. I asked her about it, she claims she knows nothing about this. I've gotten excellent evaluations since I've been here. Oh and my director never said they would check with their leadership or anything. Just downplayed it. TIA. Your thoughts?

Thanks all for your input!! All of you have helped me with wrapping my mind around all of this. So I did get that using the wall station hand sanitizer is sufficient enough. I guess I was more concerned about the airborne room doors being cracked open, and no gowns being used while they were in the rooms performing care. It's like the precaution protocol's have become too relaxed by some staff! And I looked at the staff as possible super spreaders by leaving the rooms with the same scrubs on and sitting at the nurses station, going into the breakrooms, etc.

Hello all !! I'm at a loss of words for what I witnessed at a well-known hospital's Covid unit!! I saw nurse's walk into Covid positive rooms with only scrubs and surgical or mask only! No shield no gowns, no goggles!! Then I saw many go into the ventilated patients rooms and then step back to the nurses station talking to friends and charting!! Many not even washing their hands just sanitizing!! Has anyone else seen this practice lately???

Hello all! Does anyone know of a reputable AHA approved virtual BLS class? TIA

Hello all! I'm wondering if anyone can send me a sort of " brain" or " cheat sheet" to [email protected], for my new job as a case manager?? I would so greatly appreciate it! ☺️, I'm so excited to start my new job and want to give my best to my patients , all while competent!! TIA

All of these stories are good, some are too scary to finish reading. I have one. When I worked as a LVN in a rehab center. There was a hospice pt being cared for by my coworker. The coworker asked me to accompany her to check on the pt as something weird had just happened with the contract hospice nurse and she ran out crying. We entered, the pt looked up at me ans asked if she could hold my hand, I said sure. I didn't know these pt well btw. She said Your mama told me to tell you she can't wait to see you again! I dropped her hand. My coworker asked was my mother still living. I said no she died 6 months ago. And the fact that she said my " mama", not mother, mom, etc! This is what we called her, mama.

Thank you all for responding and assisting me! I have spoken to my unit manager, and was told so sorry, but all hands on deck. I also have a special needs son , who's Autistic and have asthma and a low white count. His doctor wrote a note to place me on another floor if possible to prevent him getting seriously ill. Still no support. I pray that God intervenes soon. Praying for all of us, especially healthcare workers at this time. Good luck to you guys and stay safe!

Hello all, My dilemma is still so shocking to me! I've been in FMLA for asthma. My last asthma attack was in June. My employer knows all of my history and still trying to transfer me to a Covid patient unit. I can't believe this is happening!! I've got so much time invested and love my job. Any thoughts or advice is appreciated. TIA

Looking for advice. I'm clinic nurse now with med surg experience. I was told I'm being sent to a sister hospital's Covid unit. My employer has known for month that I've been under a doctor's care for asthma. I was told I can only be exempt if I have cancer or is pregnant. I'm afraid of contracting Covid and dying honestly! A good friend of mine died of Covid a few months ago, she also had asthma. TIA for any advice.
