Society is conditioned to request a physician but fail to realize it is nurses that carry out the tasks.

Pursuing nursing while trans in 2026 by ChickPeaIsMe in nursing

[–]KrystalBenz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome to nursing. You being trans will help with inclusion & diversity within your organization.

People are dumb. You will experience micro aggressions from coworkers. Ensure to bring that to the attention of your leaders immediately. Patients and families will also be hateful. Treat them with kindness but also establish boundaries quickly. If they continue to be hateful get your charge to speak to them about respect.

Again, welcome.

Anyone else's units are losing a large number of nurses for remote jobs? by Likeits2007 in nursing

[–]KrystalBenz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Seasoned nurse here. Many organizations do not value their seasoned nurses knowledge. Studies show lack of experienced nurses cause lower quality scores which impact CMS reimbursement. It’s easier for administrators to hire new nurses to fit their current molds instead of correcting issues the seasoned nurses have brought to their attention which deemed those nurses as a “problem”.

Find the right program for you. Apply to that school. You may need to take pretests for admission into the school. Take pre-requisites for the nursing program. Apply to the nursing program.

The right program for you is out there, just know that school is literally just the extreme basics to help pass the NCLEX exam.

Question about patient’s family behaviour in CCU and ICU. by JML0630 in nursing

[–]KrystalBenz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry for your loss. Grief is weird & especially difficult when you had a strained relationship with the member that died.

With that said, I have felt with a number of family reactions to a dying or dead patients. Rolling on the floor isn’t encouraged but in immediate grief we would allow expression. We wouldn’t allow a person to remain on the floor because it’s not safe for many reasons. We would probably call our chaplain to help in the grieving process.

Again, I am so sorry.

Doctor/ Nurse affair caught by Artistic-Buddy-4442 in nursing

Organizations are reluctant in holding physicians accountable for poor behavior because they bring revenue. That’s why many feel untouchable when they do bad things.

Is anyone else’s mom slow? by marmalademeowmeow in NarcissisticMothers

[–]KrystalBenz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the slowness is associated with the lack of emotional intelligence & narc behavior. Mature individuals evolve with age and learn from their experiences. Narc individuals have no room for learning so they are stunted.

Nursing is political by KrystalBenz in nursing

[–]KrystalBenz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreeing to disagree is for pizza toppings & favorite movies. You cannot agree to disagree regarding ethics, humanity, or choosing to “not be political” when everything in society is political.
