1. Arrested: Two Nurses made $1.5 million off fake vaccination cards

   summertx replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Headlines

   A couple of words I would question are 'accused' and that 'an undercover detective' was involved. Sorry, I'll wait until their side of the story comes out. I don't trust these 'undercover' detectives as their job is to deceive and get someone to do w...

2. Will ENP become a primary certification?

   summertx replied to FiremedicMike's topic in NP

   CRNA's I think would be the closest fit due to intubation and anesthesia.

3. Working as a nurse with a severe allergy to Cephalosporins

   summertx replied to ashlyn0689's topic in General Students

   If its an issue, maybe work in a specialty where Cephalosporins aren't typically given, if the med is PO just double glove, if I.V. then maybe you could choose a specialty that doesn't give that med or ask if another nurse can give it..

4. Got The Worst Score On Quiz In My Class

   summertx replied to FutureMaleNurse9722's topic in General Students

   Just take the score, and do better on the next quiz. Not every student is the best at every subject.

5. Nurse Help

   summertx posted a topic in Nursing

   Hi, I have clinical that starts on Monday and I wanted to know how I can best help the nurse as a nursing student. Anything small or big. I have copied and pasted from a recent thread, I don't want to bother the nurse, how can I help the best? I do n...

6. Hospital Profits Over Patient Safety: The reasons you should not be a nurse

   summertx replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in Nursing

   I recently worked a shift where there were 15 COVID positive patients, coughing, sick.. everyone who had a task, social worker, admin, other nurses, aides, housekeeping, drs, all saw me as a warm body than can do it all. Stacked on the work, assessme...

7. ...Was I being insensitive??

   summertx replied to Delia37's topic in Nursing

   I don't want to seem insensitive either here, but crying or bawling on the ICU unit when there are sick infectious people is not appropriate. Yeah I can see being overwhelmed or holding back tears but that is expected to have COVID patients. Maybe ...

8. Advocating for a grade appeal for myself and other students. Do we stand a chance?

   summertx replied to StudentGamerAthlete's topic in General Students

   They wouldn't have a job if taxes didn't pay or if I didn't pay tuition. Therefore students PAY for their education and have a right to what they learn.

9. Docs & Nurses = Murderers

   summertx replied to PMFB-RN's topic in COVID

   There is no way 1 nurse can take care of 17-18 Covid positive patients and counting. There is no one else to take care of them. Why blame the one that the facility doesn't tell or inform in advance they have to work in the covid unit. It takes extra...

10. Advocating for a grade appeal for myself and other students. Do we stand a chance?

    summertx replied to StudentGamerAthlete's topic in General Students

    Nursing instructors are responsible for what they teach. Reading power points is not teaching. Students PAY for instruction.

11. Nurses Oppose New CDC Rule Lowering Isolation Time for COVID-Positive Nurses

    summertx replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in COVID

    Just recently I had 25 patients, 2 were in covid isolation. The man who was positive was elderly and coughing so bad he didn't know to cover his mouth. Yes I had PPE on, but you have to take extra precautions when they are coughing, perhaps step back...

12. lost license, now what

    summertx replied to rnnolonger's topic in Recovery

    That's why these kinds of doctors should be sued.

13. Abuse Accusations

    summertx replied to Jess0418's topic in Nursing

    It isn't. But the OP stated that the administrator and/or DON are retaliatory and trying to CTA. LTC climate is riddled with lawsuits.

14. Nurse shortage is fake news?

    summertx replied to MedicRN230's topic in New Nurse

    Erin, rural Texas is BEGGING for nurses. If you need a job, I can give you 50 facilities off hand (LTC mostly) that will hire you or at least give you an interview. And if they are so saying that you can work as a 'CNA', you can work as a hospitali...

15. Nurse shortage is fake news?

    summertx replied to MedicRN230's topic in New Nurse

    Nurses are quitting now without even giving a two weeks notice, they decide it is no longer worth it even if they're without a job. There is no more interest in giving a two weeks anymore, the doubling up on work is not worth it when the MD won't ev...
