1. Neuro ICU to travel MICU?

   Nickc58 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hey everyone, Just curious, I accepted a job offer in a Neuro ICU. Down the line if I wanted to travel, do I have to travel as Neuro ICU or can I switch over to MICU? I know it would be difficult to travel as a SICU, CICU, or CVICU RN but I’m kind of...

2. RN to BSN programs

   Nickc58 posted a topic in SRNA

   Hi all, I currently have my associates degree in nursing and am looking to begin a RN to BSN completion program. I have a strong interest in being competitive to hopefully attend CRNA school down the line. Some RN to BSN programs offer “competency ba...

3. Contracts getting cancelled?

   Nickc58 posted a topic in COVID

   I know I have a previous post that discusses this, but I’m flat out asking, are any travelers in NYC seeing their contracts get cancelled?

4. I took a travel assignment to help out, but what happens after?

   Nickc58 replied to Nickc58's topic in COVID

   My offer was around 4600 for 4 days a week. I am a new nurse, but I feel confident enough to succeed on an assignment. I saw the posts for 10k a week. It’s a 21 day assignment, but it’s 21 days STRAIGHT. That’s an insane amount of money but I know I ...

5. I took a travel assignment to help out, but what happens after?

   Nickc58 posted a topic in COVID

   Hi all. I’ll try to make this as simple as possible. I’m taking a travel assignment in NYC starting 4/20 and going through 7/18. I have put in my resignation at my current job. I will be honest before anyone throws accusations at me. Yes, I stepped u...

6. Was RN school easy for you?

   Nickc58 replied to EV1518's topic in General Students

   Just learn what your instructors like and show it to them. Nursing school is a joke and taught me next to nothing besides how to pass meds safely. You learn real nursing on the job, seeing it every day.

7. It's Driving Me Crazy

   Nickc58 replied to AlmostThere19's topic in General Nursing

   Totally disagree with some one the comments here. I work on a pretty high acuity intermediate floor and I’d be lost if I didn’t show up a little early to research my patients. Yeah I can get a quick history through shift report but I benefit from rea...

8. New grad, Med error

   Nickc58 replied to Nickc58's topic in General Nursing

   My charge called pharmacy and that’s what they said

9. New grad, Med error

   Nickc58 replied to Nickc58's topic in General Nursing

   This is where I went wrong in my part of the administration. The patient was actively vomiting so I thought I would give the medication and then scan it when I got a chance. I didn’t wait for the order to populate in the computer. It is my fault, I g...

10. New grad, Med error

    Nickc58 posted a topic in General Nursing

    So I’m a new grad still on orientation. Long story short I was taking care of a pretty critical patient the other night. I was taking frequent verbal orders from the provider. The patient was vomiting frequently and had prn zofran ordered. The provid...

11. Questionable actions that make you go hmm?

    Nickc58 replied to Snatchedwig's topic in General Nursing

    I’m a huge believer that past a certain age or certain point, comfort becomes way more important than try to “fix” someone. In clinical rotations in school we had a 96 y/o with afib (this was a secondary problem, not the reason she was admitted). The...

    Nickc58 replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Davey, In my few years of being a member on this site I have always enjoyed your posts. BUT THIS.... this meme is unacceptable. No nursing meme should be this dang funny ??. You have truly outdone yourself with this one ?.

14. PVT???? 80 questions????? Did I pass???

    Nickc58 posted a topic in NCLEX

    Guys does the PVT work? I had 80 questions does this mean I passed? If a tree falls in the woods and nobody’s around to hear it, does it make a sound? Kind of poking fun here ?. I took my NCLEX this morning. Test shut off at 80 questions. I feel conf...

    Hey guys, thanks for replying. I reacted too quickly. I spoke with the owner and he made a mistake on pay. Problem solved. Guess I was just having a bad night...
