    Medical Assistant During Nursing School?

    Congratulations on beginning your nursing journey. If I'm not mistaken, MA programs are nine months long, they are also generally paid less than CNAs. My CNA program was five weeks. You might see...

    Working with a Colleague with a Dominating Personality

    LOL, Olive also sounds like my colleague. I almost thought this was my facility you were talking
  3. A lot of people just don’t want the COVID vaccination. They are afraid of potential harm, or they are incensed about being forced to take a vaccination. We receive vaccinations as children, we had...
  4. . . . and let’s not forget the practice of only giving the”main meds” to speed things up. Don’t do it. I think the grand majority of nurses in LTC begin excited about their jobs and wanting...

    Patients who are faking illness

    How do you approach patients that you know our feigning illness in the mental/ behavioral health setting? For instance, I had a patient who wasted a lot of staff time faking seizures on a very busy...

    Patients who are faking illness

    I probably should have specified that I had a malingering adolescent. These kids tend to get together a raise he’ll if one of them are
  7. I am just now seeing this post but you would be most definitely risking your license. It is difficult for a seasoned LTC nurse to care for 30 Pts, and impossible for a new grad with two days of...

    Dislike Everyone In My Cohort

    You are in your first semester/ term. You do not like one person in your entire cohort. You are getting 100% on your nursing exams? Also, all of the others are disorganized and wasting time....

    Nurse severely beat

    What is this man’s diagnosis? Is he schizophrenic? If so, he shouldn’t be tried. The facility should be indicted, they are at fault. Psychotic patients become violent all the time, it’s the...

    I'm Done

    I wonder how many unvaccinated, critically ill Covid patients aren’t getting the care they deserve. It never occurred to me that this could be an issue until reading this

    Unvaccinated: Indefensible

    I was thinking of Cuada equina because the left side of my private area was numb also, but yesterday during a nap it spread over my chest. I pray it goes

    Quit Job and Now Accused of Abandonment

    Wow, it is very brave of you to take a stand and honor your moral code. That can be scary. As a fellow nurse I support you. More of us should stand up against the substandard practices that...

    Ageism in Nursing?

    It may very well play a part in some instances but I have worked with several nurses in their mid to late 60’s, and I am not aware of anyone complaining about them to their face about performance....

    Internal transfer being ghosted by HR?

    I would be frustrated also. Hopefully everything will work out fine and the HR person is just a bit slow on communication. Is going to the new location and requesting a friendly conference with the...

    Help Ban Genital Cosmetic Surgery on Children

    Thank you for creating this article, Nurse Beth. It is brave and we’ll-written. I also support the campaign to cease cosmetic genital surgeries on infants in America. However, I do not purport to...
  16. This is a very biased statement, “crazed republicans”, generalizing those non-compliant with vaccinations by race, re: “Hispanic to African Americans”? This is inappropriate communication for...

    Yes, I'm Vaxxed But...

    The tone in this response is the example of the hostility that is
  18. My hope is that as nurses, advocates in the caring profession, that we can enter into discord about sensitive topics without hostility. I am seeing a mob mentality that is void of respect for others...

    Yes, I'm Vaxxed But...

    Vaccination exemption affidavits are available for nurses who decline some or all vaccinations, or opt for homeopathic
  20. Sanction health professionals from challenging the efficacy of treatments? Make it illegal to counter test scientific theories? That sounds dangerous. Science shouldn’t be questioned?...

    Unvaccinated: Indefensible

    I am a nurse and I am experiencing intermittent numbness and neurological symptoms on the left side of my body since receiving the first Moderna vaccination 2.5 weeks ago. I also am now experiencing...

    Do you think you are a "hero"?

    No, I don’t think of myself as a hero and I feel a little embarrassed when someone says it but I know they are showing their appreciation. I just help other who need it when they need it how they...

    Nursing Student Studying Tips

    The studying part is where it gets sticky. How to study is where many students struggle. I suggest reading the topics to be covered in the chapter intro, practice teaching those points out loud. Be...

    Fired (Wrongfully?) And It Hurts

    I’m sorry you are experiencing this. I was also terminated from a position unfairly and it was jarring. I was at a complete loss in trying to understand how nurses can be so egotistical and...

    Nursing Profession Reputation

    In my experience and observation, nurses are highly respected. We are known to be well-educated, highly intelligent, compassionate, trustworthy professionals. Particularly those of us that work...
