  1. Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    Guest343211 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Oh wow, I'm sorry. I messed up and referred to you as a female too. Guess I thought it was you standing by that bike. LOL But what do you think about my point that you go in making more that the...

  2. Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    Guest343211 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, yes, I saw it after I posted--must have been posting near the same time.

  3. Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    Guest343211 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Word to the wise: Take it to another thread. A good number of threads have been closed here for going way off topic and being uncivil, etc. Just saying. . . Do what you want, but it is what it

  4. Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    Guest343211 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    ^ This. Totally this. Do it for a good, long while, in the kinds of clinical settings many of us have worked for decades. Then please come back and let us know. BTW, I am NOT making the significant...

  5. Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    Guest343211 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Your avatar is great: The easy button. LOL They will feel the pain when inflation hits in full force. They think milk prices and bread prices are high now. . .Just wait. .

  6. Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    Guest343211 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Oh shortage, sure. But there will be a lot less monies available for decent replenishing. An interesting POV at this blog, but this person is only magnifying what a ton of other people are saying:...

  8. Answered wrong on Interview Question

    Guest343211 replied to missrn208's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I mean really how far off in transit is this pt from recovery? Upon report, I'd see about getting the PACU RN to deal with the SOB--if someone is having SOB post-op recovery, they shouldn't be...

  9. Answered wrong on Interview Question

    Guest343211 replied to missrn208's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    LOL. So darn funny. It happens. 3M grips. . .lol. . . you are cool. Too true about nurses. . .and they can be on the unforgiving side--depends on how well you are liked---very capricious. I...

  10. Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    Guest343211 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    I hear what you are saying. AS for this: I think we might see some up and down, but overall, no. We are heading for big time inflation. It ain't gonna be pretty--nothing at all like we have...

  11. Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    Guest343211 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    OK, but once you have a family, get back to us on that. You are speaking, admittedly, from lack of direct insight and experience on the matter. On that income, that family will probably not be able...

  12. Is it difficult for men to get into NICU?

    Guest343211 replied to MattNurse's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I never understood the notion of discrimination against men in NICU or PICU. I mean many of the docs are male. I just thought that a lot of men that go into nursing liked the macho adrenalin of ED...

  13. Can a registered nurse (BSN) apply to PA school?

    Guest343211 replied to gentlerain's topic in Nursing Career

    Error: wrote except when it should be accept. I'd like to blame Dragon dictation software, but I can't.

  14. Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    Guest343211 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    But it is becoming more of the requirement for a getting a position, especially one that is more robust in terms of work and opportunities. To me, a big part of the problem is the outrageous expense...

  15. Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    Guest343211 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    I say really research the field and shadow a lot before you make the move. In all reality, you can make more money but meeting whatever requirements you need to move into a controller role. You will...

  16. Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    Guest343211 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    I am the first one to say that post-secondary schools are all about the money, but to your reply, well, I say wow. If you have noticed, however, most places now require or are pushing for BSN baseline...

  17. Just a question to understand the ER better

    Guest343211 replied to sheilahdee's topic in Emergency

    First, 99% of what you quoted was from someone else and not me. :) Second, surely you are correct. My point was that such patients need to be, at the very least, closely observed and not just made to...

  18. Do You Have To Be Religious/Spiritual to be a good Nurse?

    Guest343211 replied to Soliloquy's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Personally I think it can help, so long as you are not judgmental toward others that are of differing faiths and such. Then again, I have met a good number of judgmental atheists and agnositics, so...

  19. Can a registered nurse (BSN) apply to PA school?

    Guest343211 replied to gentlerain's topic in Nursing Career

    It is a medical model, but the overall sciences and clinical hours beat the band in terms of preparation compared with NP hours IMHO. The big benefit of NPs used to be that they came from a good many...

  20. Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    Guest343211 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, and you have to remember, it's not that nurses make soooo much money, it's that it's a job that pays better than the local convenience store or the Walmart. There are the two year ASN programs...

  21. Considering ER but not good at starting IV's

    Guest343211 replied to srleslie's topic in Emergency

    Some people and kids are hard as all heck to cannulate. It's just the way it is. And if those messed vessels have been hit over and over and over, they may well be super scarred up. I love how...

  22. First time Im going to have to deal with legal issues

    Guest343211 replied to MomRN0913's topic in Home Health

    OH wow. . .that last part. . .I wish it were no as true as it is. It's sad you have to worry that your documentation will somehow "lose it's

  23. First time Im going to have to deal with legal issues

    Guest343211 replied to MomRN0913's topic in Home Health

    I feel for you too OP. I thought I missed something with the Oreos, but you are right. Autocorrect is kind of goofy. Do your best and ride this one out. The truth is, after a couple of decades in...

  24. At scene of fatal accident yesterday...

    Guest343211 replied to jamieslovingmom's topic in General Nursing

    The above makes much sense to me. Guess it depends on you POV. Pulseless = will become brain dead. Seems very probable that death would have ensued, but I am of the ilk where you must try. OTOH,...

  25. Nurse Dracula overqualified

    Guest343211 replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    Wow. Totally. New grads should understand that a lot of highly experienced nurses are being blown off too--mostly as a means to control salaries. If places have enough of a budget crunch, they can...
