    otgd8 posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    Hello! So I am a new BSN graduate (graduated in August). I have been offered a position via a staffing agency for very high pay for administering vaccinations around different areas in the...

  2. Has anyone left nursing job due to COVID19 virus?

    otgd8 replied to Tirednurseandmomma14's topic in Disaster Preparation

    @the VEGAN Professor Nope. It was a quote for only me! That was the federal marketplace insurance quote which was all I qualified for at the time because my hospital refused to give me temporary...

  3. NJCU ABSN 2020

    otgd8 replied to BSSB's topic in School, College Programs

    I really do not understand why we can't just start the non-clinical portion of the program at the regularly scheduled date or close to it. I just hope everything could get started by the end of May. I...

  4. What is it like in your hospital right now?

    otgd8 replied to FloatFNP-C's topic in Disaster Preparation

    @sliddlejohn56 I was thinking they should be treated as COVID + but with the lack of PPE I don't think the facilities can do that or want to do

  5. Has anyone left nursing job due to COVID19 virus?

    otgd8 replied to Tirednurseandmomma14's topic in Disaster Preparation

    @DannyBoy8 It sucks if you think about it too because the hospital is not testing us to see if we are positive and we are working with extremely immunocompromised patients and exposing them to the...

  6. The Nightingale Pledge.

    otgd8 replied to waufah's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I am really bummed about all of this. I feel like a traitor and a quitter. It truly is not a good feeling. I feel like I am either overreacting or underreacting. I really appreciate your detailed and...

  8. The Nightingale Pledge.

    otgd8 replied to waufah's topic in Disaster Preparation

    @Daisy4RN I feel guilty because I like the people I work with and what I do. I will be letting them down in a time they need me most even if I am just a nurse tech. I will also be letting people down...

  9. Has anyone left nursing job due to COVID19 virus?

    otgd8 replied to Tirednurseandmomma14's topic in Disaster Preparation

    @caliotter3 This whole thing is just making the inequities of certain organizations more apparent. I am sorry you have to go through that. I wish you good health during this difficult and uncertain...

  10. Has anyone left nursing job due to COVID19 virus?

    @cubby777 Did you give 2 weeks notice or did you drop them cold turkey? What would they do if you just don't show

  11. The Nightingale Pledge.

    otgd8 replied to waufah's topic in Disaster Preparation

    @Daisy4RN My gut is telling me to leave. I am a tech. If I get sick I will not even be able to go to nursing school if my illness is severe. I feel horrible for wanting to leave. But I think it might...

  12. What is it like in your hospital right now?

    otgd8 replied to FloatFNP-C's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My hospital ICUs are all COVID now. 40+ COVID positives with tons of R/O on respiratory floors, med/surg, and ED units. Once ICUs fill up post anesthesia area will be used. We do not have enough...

  13. The Nightingale Pledge.

    otgd8 replied to waufah's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Thanks for this. I keep teetering between feeling guilty for wanting to leave and just staying because it's for the greater good of the livelihood of more people. I keep thinking of the ethics trolley...

  14. Has anyone left nursing job due to COVID19 virus?

    otgd8 replied to Tirednurseandmomma14's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I am considering it. My job is giving raises depending on the results of annual evaluations (up to 4%). That's nice but I would really rather have temporary health insurance given to me from the...

  15. Coronavirus and Pay

    otgd8 replied to Marianna5's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My facility is offering pay increases to staff (except executives, residents and non-resident doctors) based on evaluations only if you have not reached the maximum hourly rate for your position....

  17. Covid-19 unit while pregnant

    otgd8 replied to balut5's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I will preface this by saying I am not a nurse. But I work as nurse tech in an ICU. The nurses that are pregnant have left the floor by the guidance of their OB/GYNs and will likely not be returning...

  18. What happens if you quit?

    otgd8 replied to ghillbert's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I am in a precarious situation at the moment, in that because I am per diem my organization will not give me health insurance even though we are in a state of emergency and I work in critical care as...

  19. COVID-19: ICU Nurse Tech, Per Diem No INSURANCE, What would you do?

    otgd8 posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    I am UAP at a critical care unit and they are not offering me even temporary health care coverage even at this time. I am willing to get health insurance through the ACA but that will take 2 weeks. I...

  21. NJCU ABSN 2020

    otgd8 replied to BSSB's topic in School, College Programs

    I found this to be super vague. Technically the governor closed the schools but they are still open and running virtually. I feel like NJCU just wants to wait a little longer before they make the Wall...

    otgd8 replied to BSSB's topic in School, College Programs

    Well I am happy they finally emailed us! BUT I am surprised they did not just say that they are not making the classes virtual. =/ I am also concerned about financial aid because the email says that...

    otgd8 replied to BSSB's topic in School, College Programs

    Hey I just saw their website too. I tried calling them but it seems like they switched to an automated system only. I am going to email them to ask and update you guys. I can only assume with...
