1. CRNA Hours

   William2 replied to William2's topic in CRNA

   Helps greatly! Some of them hours just suck as previous poster has said. I want all my shifts together and then I want my days off consistently and spaced. 6 on 6 off would be ideal.

2. CRNA Hours

   William2 replied to William2's topic in CRNA

   Great help. I know they vary just like nursing hours. How about give some examples?

3. CRNA Hours

   William2 posted a topic in CRNA

   I'd like to know what type of hours are available for CRNA's that work in hospital and out such as a clinic or wherever they work that isn't a hospital. I'm looking to see what other people work around the states. I'm hoping to avoid a Mon-Friday gri...

4. Unsupported at home.

   William2 replied to NewbieNurse91's topic in General Nursing

   Divorce is my first thought because throw kids into the mix and who is going to be picking up that extra slack if the current state is pretty abysmal. Couldn't imagine that lack of support "until death do us part" if it were me. I doubt this person i...

5. Forced to resign after 7 weeks

   William2 replied to porkdumpling's topic in New Nurse

   That's harsh because we all know as soon as we go to the nurses station the phone rings, theirs another patient request/emergency, or someone is asking for help therefore you get delayed.

6. Understanding different gtts for sedation: Propofol vs Precedex vs Versed vs Fentanyl, etc

   William2 replied to Catticus11's topic in Critical

   Might add that I've seen Versed for seizure control in addition to your seizure meds. I've seen quadruple strength versed, 250mg/hr infusion for this post EEG. PRN paralytic for dyssynchrony or high peaking IF sedation increases haven't helped. Pre...

7. Forced to resign after 7 weeks

   William2 replied to porkdumpling's topic in New Nurse

   Asking questions is never bad and should be encouraged. If they didn't like it that's their problem and they should be prepared as a preceptor to answer them. No fault to you. This however... I know Zosyn runs for 4 hours. I also know give the dilaud...

8. ER rushing patients to the floor

   William2 replied to freckles23's topic in General Nursing

   That's if they have that many assigned to them or they are all that unstable. If they are all that unstable, truly unstable, then assignments need to shift for that transport to take place In the ICU its just us we have to make do with the bodies we ...

9. Night shift alterative hours poll

   William2 replied to Wolf at the Door's topic in General Nursing

   I worked 730-730. I didn't know how much I didn't like it until I switched facilities and now work 630-630. It feels more "natural" to me especially in winter when I go to bed and most of the time its still dark out. Feels just like a day shift in so...

11. How does it work?

    William2 posted a topic in Government

    I'm just not knowledgeable on how enlisting works when I already have my ADN, BSN with 4 years experience which includes Med surg/tele and ICU experience along side my part time acute pediatric experience. I am interested, but don't know how to choo...

12. Making 100k salary/ income as a nurse?

    William2 replied to workingot's topic in Career Support

    While I do not expect a 100k Salary I know the ceiling of where I live is pretty low considering nurses with 30+ years make only $10/hr more than me. I don't expect it to change. I have 4 years of experience on various units from floating and ICU exp...

13. Should ICU get more pay than floor nursing?!?

    William2 replied to francoml's topic in MICU

    ADN and BSN has nothing to do with skill or knowledge and ICU. You learn from the same material. What you retain is your own. BSN may spend more time on it than ADN school, but the end result is both are nurses capable of working ICU if they so choos...
