1. How much for a single 22 year old to live comftorably in NYC?

   HIPAA replied to MarissaA's topic in New York

   Living alone, you'll need AT LEAST 70k/yr to live in Manhattan south of 96th. The Upper East Side near the river has less expensive (not cheap) apartments. Might work if you work on the UES, but a *terrible* idea if you work anywhere else. Several...

   Stiltarget is 100% right. I wouldn't turn it down, especially in this economy!!

4. Is Med-Surg really a dead end?

   HIPAA replied to JustWannaWork,RN's topic in General Nursing

   Depends on where you want to go. If you want to work in the PACU, ICU, L&D, or certain other areas ... you'll be in M/S a long time before the change. At least that's been my experience. At the same time, it does open up pretty much every *othe...

5. RN lost her first patient today

   HIPAA replied to srg4784's topic in General Nursing

   Either (a) not treating your coworker any differently to their face, while at the same time lobbying the charge nurse to give them patients with a lower acuity, or (b) a drink.

6. opinions please?

   HIPAA replied to rae-roo76's topic in General Nursing

   I would think long and hard about whether you really want to become a nurse or not. It's not the easy, recession proof job you've heard about. It's physically demanding, high stress / high stakes, and really is life & death in some cases. Also...

7. Will being written up for a med error affect getting a new job??

   HIPAA replied to v704's topic in General Nursing

   I'm not a lawyer, but I'm fairly certain that you can file a lawsuit against a previous employer for giving out information other than dates of employment and performance reviews. I may be wrong, or it may be state to state.

10. Exaggerations and Lack of Accountability

    HIPAA replied to Despareux's topic in Professionalism

    Document, document, document. Also, they're your coworkers, not your friends.

    HIPAA replied to onthemark's topic in General Nursing

    Admittedly, there is an ant fart conspiracy.

12. Dont wanna be a floor nurse..

    HIPAA replied to Meese.C's topic in General Nursing

    If you work in Tele, try to hold out a year. It would open a lot of ICU/PACU/CCU doors, and possibly even ER.

13. upset pt

    HIPAA replied to laughterishelpful's topic in General Nursing

    You have a wealth of helpful advice in the previous comments. Here's my take: Don't take it personally. There are many reasons someone might exhibit such behavior. Check their vitals and bloodsugars, double check their meds, and tell the charge nu...

14. Which hospitals to recommend in NYC?

    HIPAA replied to boston HD's topic in New York

    There are no good or bad hospitals in NYC, just good or bad floors (and that can change quickly).
