Agreed. I think its offensive that the nurse manager lied so blatantly to the best friend. It's really indicating that the nurse manager is the one who believes ICU nurses are better than med surg or whatever it was she was trying to fill when she pu...

I didn't read it as that . I saw it as the nurse manager wants to lie about the position because nobody wants it yet the rn manager wants specialty experience . If you or anyone here believes that a med surg nurse is interchangeable with an ICU nurse...

I didn't see where the poster said highest. They said highly. I agree with OP. Read the actual post. Why would you say a hard no? Do you think you're better than med surg nurses? This is what those commenters are implying. I didn't see anything that ...

No. The road to hell is paved with the best intentions.

Hmmm. This is thought provoking...so....to the library I went. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19426141 Yes, yes I was thinking lactate as well. But it's also shown in this study that prolonged tourniquet use effects troponins. Pulling trops fro...

I ❤️ Muno. Please bring back that avatar of Bill Murray you used to use. I just can't with this whole thing. I'm not sure if this type of stuff is cyclical---as in---here comes campaign season and plants are paid to throw one of the God, Guns and...

I did a job at ORMC--and wow--I got an earful about Rick Scott. I'm so sorry you are stuck with him. I understand your point of view--but when the push is for "the individual"--meaning--management and administration and even nursing schools encourage...

ZDogg says it much better than I do---this isn't my opinion. This is a large problem that is far far larger than the few posters that are hanging around AN. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_1PNZdHq6Q

You're assuming that because I'm leaving nursing...that I am leaving AN. ? Nah.

There's an easier answer than my old rear end becoming an NP. UNIONIZE.

Agreed. My mom worked at a crappy job for a power company her entire career...never made more than $14.00/hr and raised 3 kids on that. She had a sit down, answer the phone type job. It made her consistently insecure. About everything. About the bur...

I am actually leaving nursing. For just the reasons I stated. Exploitation of nurses by facilities, nursing schools, patients/families...and other nurses. The money I make is ridiculous---as long as I am okay with sacrificing everything. It should no...

I make $118K because I take 4 months off a year. My COL is low. I own a house free and clear--and I have to do the "duplicated expenses" thing for the IRS--but I have friends and family pretty much everywhere I have chosen to do a job (which is why ...

I did do many contracts in CA. I am a travel nurse right now and have been for many years. yes. I liked certain things about the laws of CA that concern nursing. Like I said in another thread though--- I can take any issue and make it controversial ...

❤️ I meant the harsh weather. But then...imma snow bunny so I have actually considered upstate WI just for that. It's just chapping my behind that the best advice to counter how horrible working conditions actually are and how low wages continue to...

Gonna say three words. Religious Right Votes. Politicians are the biggest hypocrites when it comes to this subject. It still amazes me that the dog whistle issues still work....God, Gays and Guns. It's a personal choice and should be left that way--j...

I make $118K base pay right now. As a floor nurse--no overtime, no shift differential, no "extended hours" to kiss arse in order to convince someone I am the best choice. I don't bill. I don't deal with insurance companies telling me that I have to c...

holy canoli. GREAT CATCH ? i love how the mind fills in things when it wants to see something. 6 is a larger number than 3...ergo...higher. but not. ?

Quick google search. I can parse statistics at each...acceptance rate, number of graduates, etc....but I think my point about "where" the nurses ---because you have to have a nursing degree in order to become a nurse practitioner...unless I have been...

Thanks, but i wasn't asking for an explanation of why it happens. I know why it happens and my point was to the OP---that the explanation for the elevated trop could be as simple as a tourniquet left on too long. I would start there before spending $...

I work currently with a Registered NP--who is still doing her ICU job--because there are no jobs in the entire state for her ONLINE ONLY NP EDUCATION with the "clinical component" being allowed at our hospital. I like her. I do. As an ICU RN. As an N...

So here's another thing. Some here are very upset---rightfully so--about the "rightness vs. wrongness" of an issue. Any issue. It's wrong to turf patients. It's wrong not to do something you charted that you did. It's wrong to call off when you're no...

BONs are part of the state government. They are not an independent agency. I'm not defending. In fact...I think they should all be disbanned. However---they are part of the legislatures of each state. They are a revenue stream for the government. Nee...

And it's a sane choice to be a nurse after all of this? Every point made here in just this one thread---makes nursing the absolute worst choice for a career....ever.

This is a civil matter--not criminal. When an accusation is made against--say---a neighbor for their dog killing your cat--they file independently and you have no rights to "discovery" or anything else they may have. They present their side and you y...
