  1. LPN obtains fraudulent DPOA and has man removed from life support

    DoubleblessedRN posted a topic in Nursing News

    This is absolutely sickening! Lucy Letby, Radonda Vaught, Charles Cullen, the "Nurses Who Kill" Netflix series...all these people are giving the profession a terrible name and reputation. This LPN...

  2. Do you think AI will replace Nurses one day?

    DoubleblessedRN replied to Pinkterton1234's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I highly doubt it, at least not in my lifetime. Every scenario is different which requires assessments and critical thinking that a computer can't do, and labor such as physical assessments, drawing...

  3. Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    DoubleblessedRN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    That RV is a very serious safety risk and liability, The debate is whether her license should be reinstated when some states continue to license nurses who are just as risky and have a proven track...

  4. Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    DoubleblessedRN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I wasn't generalizing; I just used this as an example because my employer hires nurses on probation or with a restricted license, and there was a particular RN whose scenario is very similar to that...

  5. Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    DoubleblessedRN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    WHY does she want her license reinstated? WHY does she want to work as a nurse again? Is she hurting financially? Does she want to right a wrong? Does she really care about people, their quality...

  6. Phasing Out ADN?

    DoubleblessedRN replied to Candi Williams's topic in General Nursing

    I just don't see it happening, at least while I'm still working as an RN. They've talked about it for many years and it hasn't happened, and when COVID first surfaced I think the severely critical...

  7. Nurses Fired For Viral TikTok Video

    DoubleblessedRN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    That’s what a lot of this all comes down to…immaturity. All of those nurses in the video looked under 30 and probably had very few life experiences. To me, the most disturbing comment on the...

  8. Nurses Fired For Viral TikTok Video

    DoubleblessedRN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, and I have heard some say terrible things. I used to work on a unit, and there was a patient who whined a lot. In the break room, nurses and other staff were laughing behind that patient’s...

  9. Nurses Fired For Viral TikTok Video

    DoubleblessedRN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Very inappropriate and uncalled for, and I think they all deserved to lose their jobs. We all have our pet peeves, and it’s OK to vent with other coworkers and colleagues, but there is a time and a...

  10. Does being addressed as "Nurse" annoy anyone?

    DoubleblessedRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've been a nurse for 14 years now, but this hasn't occurred much up until the past few years. I work in a psychiatric hospital, and patients often address me as "Nurse.” It happens in all kinds...

  12. Does being addressed as "Nurse" annoy anyone?

    DoubleblessedRN replied to DoubleblessedRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am proud to be a nurse, I worked for it and I earned that title in my own right. It’s just annoying. Sort of like men who are nurses who don’t like to be referred to as a “male nurse.” Or...

  13. Does being addressed as "Nurse" annoy anyone?

    DoubleblessedRN replied to DoubleblessedRN's topic in General Nursing

    I used to work in cardiac cath lab years ago, I agree...there are some situations when it's necessary. For example, whenever I finished holding pressure after an arterial sheath removal I would...

  14. Does being addressed as "Nurse" annoy anyone?

    DoubleblessedRN replied to DoubleblessedRN's topic in General Nursing

    I’ve worked psych for four years and I occasionally work with adolescents. I don’t ever recall being called “nurse” by any one of them, as a matter of fact, they’re usually pretty...

  15. Mentioning recovery from mental illness in a job interview?

    DoubleblessedRN replied to lunalilith's topic in Psychiatric

    It’s probably too late to be answering this question, but for anyone in the same predicament: I would not mention it during the hiring process, but if you’re hired perhaps you could confide in...

  16. Excelsior Grads - Where are they now?

    DoubleblessedRN replied to EricJRN's topic in Excelsior College

    The way I understand the compact licensure (I don’t live in a compact state, but there is also pending legislature) is that if one resides in or declares a compact state as their primary state of...

  18. Psych nursing under Covid-19

    DoubleblessedRN replied to penelopelp's topic in Psychiatric

    I work in a large psychiatric hospital, and when we take a report from the sending facility, we ask specific questions about symptoms in regards to COVID 19. I’m not aware of any patient has been...

  19. When former inmates pay a visit

    DoubleblessedRN replied to poptart109's topic in Correctional

    I know this was nearly a year ago, but here is some good advice for anyone who ever encounters this in the future: you need to report this to your employer. Failing to disclose or report an incident...

  20. What skills are utilized in correctional nursing?

    DoubleblessedRN replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Correctional

    The prison I work at has a health care facility and have most capabilities of urgent care. We administer TB tests and read them, we do 12 lead ekgs, administer vaccinations and educate the prisoners...

  21. When male prisoners intentionally expose themselves to females

    DoubleblessedRN replied to DoubleblessedRN's topic in Correctional

    Dienw, the prisoner's goal was to humiliate me and see what type of reaction he could get out of me. The reason I had asked about witty comments was to make this backfire on him and embarrass him so...

    Yes Caliotter3, this prisoner does have a mental illness, but most likely moderate extent at the most. He is on this particular unit for mental illness AND difficulty managing him in general housing...

  24. When male prisoners intentionally expose themselves to females

    DoubleblessedRN replied to DoubleblessedRN's topic in Correctional

    Jail and prison culture is like this: prisoners are very seasoned and skilled at manipulating and malingering. There are often hidden motives behind their actions. They lie. They play you. They...

  25. When male prisoners intentionally expose themselves to females

    DoubleblessedRN replied to DoubleblessedRN's topic in Correctional

    So here are some comebacks that I either thought of myself or came across on a corrections officer discussion board: For a man exposing himself: Say out loud,"Anyone have a magnifying glass handy?...
