  1. New Grad Medsurg to ER?

    Myruby replied to DreamChas's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think your choice to finish the year is excellent, and good work! I started in MedSurg, and it gave me such an excellent background. I think learning a new job is difficult on a PRN basis. I...

  2. Impersonating a nurse

    Myruby replied to Elleveein's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Well, how about this? It clearly says that it is illegal.

  3. How should I handle CNA

    Myruby replied to happymama's topic in General Nursing

    Too bad for him. Document. He is about to be fired. How sad, he's mad, too

  4. Nurse Abuse While on Assignment

    Myruby replied to K2K's topic in Travel

    You need a better Lawyer. Look for one who will not charge unless you win. Your case is well

  5. How do you remain polite and professional with people who don't believe in the Covid vaccine who come to your clinic wanting treatment?

    Myruby posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I see mostly unvaccinated individuals who come to our monoclonal antibody clinic after becoming covid +, with symptoms. Some of these I send away straight to the ER, others we treat. Many tell me that...

  6. What can I do with my MSN-FNP that doesn't require much patient contact

    Myruby replied to FNPStudentLife's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    No, you don't. I am an FNP and have never worked in the ER but have worked in urgent care. I can see where it would be helpful, but not

  7. They should be force to retire

    Myruby replied to apnurserock's topic in Retired Nurses

    Hi there, I don't think that either of us can generalize our personal experiences to everyone. I do enjoy my work and hope that you found that retirement was the right decision for you. The world is...

  8. They should be force to retire

    Myruby replied to apnurserock's topic in Retired Nurses

    Please don't call me a crusty old bat. I have been an RN for 46 years and an NP for 27. The last 8 years I have done Locum Tenens. I am 70. There is no difference in my performance and those younger...

  9. Lost and Anxious

    Myruby replied to Kayleigh272's topic in Nursing Career

    I've heard this a lot from new grads, in fact I work with one who is one of the best nurses that I've ever worked with. She recently left a job where the charge nurse said she was "too slow" when she...

    Myruby replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

  11. Are You Working Past Retirement Age?

    Myruby replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    I am currently 70 and collect both a paycheck and social security, and no, it doesn't affect my SS. It was easy for me as I've worked locum tenens the past seven years. I work when I want and don't...

  12. What can I do with my MSN-FNP that doesn't require much patient contact

    Myruby replied to FNPStudentLife's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I worked many jobs that required following patients until I decided that I really didn't want to follow a patient's chronic problems anymore. Some options are Student Health, Occupational Health,...

  13. Did you feel ready to practice upon graduation?

    Myruby replied to Pachinko's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am a FNP. I was afraid. My first job was at a men's homeless clinic, pretty basic stuff, then, terrified me, decided that I would specialize so there was less to focus on so I did Infertility. I...

  14. Scary Paranoid Thought

    Myruby replied to paramedic-RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    DEAs are not available online to my knowledge, at least never in the states that I have worked

  15. Travel RN to New FNP - Is it worth it?

    Myruby replied to SublimeEMTP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I wanted to add that with current inflation, my pay rate usually starts at $80/ hour, in addition, a free new car is included in the assignment, and I get many offers a week, so I'm pretty happy. The...

  16. Am I too old to become a nurse?

    Myruby replied to TbistheMc's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Depends on your health and the job that you want. I am 70 and a locum's NP. I would never go back to floor nursing as an RN. I do work 2 12hour shifts and one 6 hour and the 12s back-to-back do take...

  17. A Little Rant And Some Failures

    Myruby replied to JBMmom's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I am not an ICU NP, but I find myself much, much, shorter with patients. I glare at people in the supermarket who wear their masks below their noses, just want to be alone a lot after shifts. I have...

  18. Travel RN to New FNP - Is it worth it?

    Myruby replied to SublimeEMTP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I currently make $90/hour running a monoclonal antibody clinic in the Northeast. I was a floor nurse/telemetry/stepdown at major hospitals there for 11 years and hated every minute of it. As an NP I...

  19. Anyone prescribing Ivermectin or Hydroxychloriquine?

    Myruby replied to paramedic-RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Nope, just monoclonal antibodies and soon
