  1. Is it too soon to go back? Need advice.

    Flatline replied to Jg2626's topic in General Nursing

    A single week? Lol. You don't know what color the grass is

  2. What is a unique job that you do that you love?

    Flatline replied to newrn93's topic in General Nursing

    I started in LTC. In LTC I would have to manage everyone's IVs since I was usually the only RN on duty. I focused on it and became good at it. Moved to from one facility to another until I finally...

  3. What is a unique job that you do that you love?

    Flatline replied to newrn93's topic in General Nursing

    I loved working in infusion therapy and vascular access. When I worked infusion therapy I worked in an infusion center in a hospital just inserting IVs and giving IV meds all day with a fair amount...

  4. Politics in Nursing... HELP!

    Flatline replied to sparkybear808's topic in General Nursing

    I am glad things are sorting out. Let me understand something here though, so the "administration" that you approached to speak about the staffing issues which started the reprisals was only the...

  5. Concealed Carry...as a nurse?

    Flatline replied to mcknis's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    So you respond to a very specific question for clarity, a question that does not indicate a personal stance, by telling them to read the thread because it has been thoroughly addressed? When the...

  6. Does anyone really read all this charting?

    Flatline replied to gypsierose's topic in General Nursing

    My wife who works for an insurance company reads every word of those charts and spends much of her time calling facilities asking why they did or did not chart this thing or that

  7. Anyone ever feel like this

    Flatline replied to iwannabeanursee's topic in General Nursing

    That feeling you have tells me you are a great nurse and will become better. A new nurse that is full of confidence and self-assurance is a dangerous nurse. Those feelings will go away as you learn...

  8. Made a fool of myself to board of nursing rep

    Flatline replied to Lemon Bars's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing has become too complex. Look at healthcare 20 years ago and what nurses were doing compared to today. I know registered nurses, not advanced practice, that are placing ports, pulling bone...

  9. Just........no.

    Flatline replied to roser13's topic in Nursing News

    Nurses can't be administrators? In my experience there is usually a CNO who is a nurse, the directors who are usually nurses, and then their managers who are usually nurses. I would be surprised if...

  10. A Feminist Approach to the Opioid Epidemic

    Flatline replied to Issaiah1332's topic in General Nursing

    This is a very strange, very arrogant, and very ignorant thread. We are taking specifics and making large generalized statements about them. I would recommend we all familiarize ourselves with...

  11. Just........no.

    Flatline replied to roser13's topic in Nursing News

    Scariest thing is that she worked in peds. I have never been so proud of my profession. Coming off of the Alex Wubbels' fight to protect her patient and the termination of Taiyesha Baker helps to...

  12. being called off..

    Flatline replied to SaltySarcasticSally's topic in General Nursing

    And so continues to age old dilemma, either there is too little or too much staff. Sometimes it is hard to hit that perfect golden

  13. Why so much Negativity in Nursing?

    Flatline replied to lindsayCalifornia's topic in General Nursing

    Happy people don't whine about it on the internet. I have heard that someone who is unhappy with the service they received at a store will tell 10 people while someone who is happy will only tell 3....

  14. Do you consider it helpful or not to be given a Pt’s attitude during a report?

    Flatline replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Some states require that all parties consent to audio or video recording if they are in a place to expect reasonable privacy. There are some exceptions like when a crime is being committed,

  15. Do you consider it helpful or not to be given a Pt’s attitude during a report?

    Flatline replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Would you consider having to almost call a code "very serious" as the poster stated? I certainly would. What I think the poster meant is that she does not want to know the regular low-level...

  16. most non-caring branch of nursing

    Flatline replied to nursingnurse2b1's topic in General Nursing

    Just my perspective that I developed as I started working with more and more senior leaders. I used to think bean counters were all nurse/patient hating jerks until I started interfacing with them...

  17. most non-caring branch of nursing

    Flatline replied to nursingnurse2b1's topic in General Nursing

    Procedural units are far more technical focused instead of emotional support focused. Specialties like the OR, IR, vascular access, Cath Lab, etc. My work has me dealing with "bean counters" on...

  18. nursing for money

    Flatline replied to spark1's topic in General Nursing

    I work for money. I am a nurse because I believe in higher mission. I work in a corporate setting because it allows me to have a greater gross impact upon healthcare and it is much more financially...

  19. Forced out to pasture

    Flatline replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. All of that will only happen after the civil war starts lead by big pharma and

  20. Forced out to pasture

    Flatline replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    Forced out to pasture usually refers to a forced retirement and is often used in the context of older employees being forced out due to age. Sounds like you lost your job due to simple corporate...

  21. Are anti-vaccine people conspiracy theorists generally?

    Flatline replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I am being serious. There is a group of people that simply do not believe in it unless their hands are visibly soiled. They cite many of the things anti-vaccine people cite, "doesn't work, is not...

  22. Are anti-vaccine people conspiracy theorists generally?

    Flatline replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Funny how something so basic, so fundamental to modern medicine, so well established in science is still debated. I wonder if the anti-vaccine people are the same people I see leaving the bathroom...

  23. MEN, dont come into nursing

    Flatline replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in Men in Nursing

    I tell every young man asking career advice to become a nurse. To be young, single, and making a decent living in a profession where you are surrounded by women working in high stress environments...

  24. I went to work with a black eye

    Flatline replied to Jessie-'s topic in General Nursing

    When my wife and I were...ahem...having relations...I moved to put my head down somewhere and she misinterpreted my move and brought her knees up in a knee/chest position and caught me in the face....

  25. Is spending $80,000 on a private ABSN school a waste

    Flatline replied to Big_Mike's topic in General Students

    Depends on what you do with that BSN. A raise for doing the same job? Not likely. Being more marketable for better paying jobs? Absolutely. I made just over $60k when I graduated with by ASN, couple...
