  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...

  2. RN to BSN programs

    Nickc58 posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    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...

  3. Contracts getting cancelled?

    Nickc58 posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    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

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

    Nickc58 posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    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...

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

    Nickc58 replied to Nickc58's topic in Disaster Preparation

    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...

  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...

  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...

  8. 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...

  10. 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...

  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...

    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...

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

    Nickc58 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    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...

    Nickc58 replied to sillymu's topic in Nursing Career

    Hey there Homebound, I recently accepted a job offer from Vidant for a new grad position. I do disagree with you on the price of rent. I signed a lease in a place that is practically unseen for less...

  18. Reasons nurses get fired

    Nickc58 replied to Nursing On The Run's topic in General Nursing

    If you weren’t such a reputable poster I would call BS on half of those reasons in the DIDNT column. That’s just so unreal

  19. Nursing school Clinicals

    Nickc58 replied to Trinity33's topic in General Students

    I am frankly upset that so many experienced nurses are responding to this post the way they are. Students shouldn’t ask questions? ARE YOU SERIOUS? I am still a student. I finished my last clinical...
