  1. How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    guest974915 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Great points! I would gladly sacrifice shorter wait times to be free of the worry that a major medical event could possibly consume my entire life savings retirement nest

  2. 5 yr Nurse Burnout

    guest974915 replied to ambersky004's topic in General Nursing

    ^^^Agree with this 110%^^^. I have been an RN for a lot of years and worked in many hospitals and different practice areas. With few exceptions, there are almost always the same types everywhere it...

  3. New Grad Nurse Might Lose Job Struggling In Orientation

    guest974915 replied to Scrubba Dub's topic in General Nursing

    ^^^Agree^^^, unfortunately though, somehow it always seems that for whatever reason, it's often these these "emotionally-toxic" individuals who are tasked with precepting new nurses. These types have...

  4. When Your Loved One is Admitted

    guest974915 replied to beekindRN's topic in General Nursing

    My heart goes to out to those poor unfortunate souls who don't have any family/friends to help them navigate the confusing and uncertain world of inpatient hospitalization. I have spent many, many...

  5. How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    guest974915 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree. While the associated costs of Universal Healthcare coverage will most certainly be staggering, in comparison, the U.S. has spent trillions (with a 'T'), on completely failed foreign...

  6. NPR's take on RV

    guest974915 replied to ruby_jane's topic in General Nursing

    Did her lack of discipline maybe result from all of the fanfare and publicity that this particular case created? I really don't know and am just thinking out loud. I have read many instances of...

  7. CEO Says More Nurses Won't Improve Care

    guest974915 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Even though the idea of safe staffing levels is logical and reasonable, the soulless, greedy piece of suit trash that you refer to (great definition BTW), even have their own flawed research that...

  8. CEO Says More Nurses Won't Improve Care

    guest974915 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I know! It's because the ANA is in bed, cozied up tight with some of the largest health care conglomerations that run/own some of our major hospital systems. The ANA, "to advance and protect the...

  9. CEO Says More Nurses Won't Improve Care

    guest974915 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Just a lot of hot air and fear mongering from another stuffed shirt, company 'yes man' administrator who is worried that his enormously inflated salary and benefits package may be cut or he may have...

  10. Latest on RaDonda Vaught case

    guest974915 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

  11. Latest on RaDonda Vaught case

    guest974915 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    In my humble opinion, these accrediting bodies, (Joint Commission, CMS...) are a complete joke. These agencies' guiding missions are patient advocacy and safety but when do you recall them ever...

  12. Seattle is Dying

    guest974915 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I like your perspective and I entirely agree. I would also add that our elected officials that paved the way for large corporations to shutter so many US factories and move their operations overseas...

  13. Nurses that “only do it for the money”

    guest974915 replied to AFJ32780's topic in General Nursing

    This^^ Just the sentence alone, "Nurses that only do it for the money" is meant to sound dirty and derogatory, somehow likening it to the world's oldest profession! I'm sure most nurses feel...

  14. What to Say When Your Patient Dies

    guest974915 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I've often reflected upon our medical culture's views of death and dying and thought some of them just odd. Not that death (especially premature) isn't tragic and sad, but it is an expected life...

  15. Has this happened to you?

    guest974915 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I've searched like mad for several hours for a favorite pen that was above my ear the entire

  16. One more day closer to retirement

    guest974915 replied to egglady's topic in Retired Nurses

    You know the old saying, "If you gossip to me, you probably gossip about me". Kitty, be glad that you are retired-I dream every day of the day my career dawns and all those hardships become a faded...

  17. Nurses that “only do it for the money”

    guest974915 replied to AFJ32780's topic in General Nursing

    I unashamedly do it for the money! I get what the OP is getting at-the 'human' elements (compassion, empathy) of nursing and I agree. Personally though, after many years of bedside care, I feel used...

  18. Pill line

    guest974915 posted a topic in Correctional

    Just starting back in corrections after quite a few years away and am a little blown away by pill line. This 'prepouring' of numerous inmates' (up to 150) meds, seems like a total recipe for multiple...

  19. Seattle is Dying

    guest974915 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    LilPeanut, I agree with you and while I consider myself a compassionate person and don't subscribe to 'hardline' approaches, what about the rights of the taxpaying citizens? My opinion is that our...

  20. One more day closer to retirement

    guest974915 replied to egglady's topic in Retired Nurses

    Grumpy, I realize that this is an old post but congrats anyway on your retirement. Your comment above resonated with me, especially the "no more games/drama from colleagues". In almost 27 years of...

  21. Seattle is Dying

    guest974915 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I'm on the fence about this too, but what about the notion that the very powerful and influential military-industrial complex profits handsomely from continued warfare? Also, the same can be said...

  22. Seattle is Dying

    guest974915 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not politically savvy enough to really know what political party is responsible but I agree with Emergent, that this situation is now at an absolute tipping point and what about loitering and...

  23. Seattle is Dying

    guest974915 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree that a tax levee is needed considering that the US spends more on defense that all of the other NATO countries combined. The net effect from all of the US's previous foreign occupations,...

  24. Should I feel bad for not picking up extra shifts?

    guest974915 replied to nursekaterpn's topic in General Nursing

    Nope, I'm in the same boat and no guilt here. I want to find a way to pay my bills and work less, definitely not work more. My quality of life means far more to me than extra $$$. If that makes me...

  25. Seattle is Dying

    guest974915 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    While I agree that mental illness plays a very large role, I believe substance abuse and addiction is even more to blame in this tragic situation that is now rampant in our cities. Also, as another...
