  1. Buying a House on a Nurse's Income: How Do Nurses Afford $450,000+ Houses?

    rzyzzy replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I don’t pretend to have the answers for this, but the headline kinda tweaks me the wrong way, and I’d like to provide a little context to the “value” of at least some of these “$450,000”...

  2. Should I resign or am I overreacting?

    rzyzzy replied to BaybeeNurse20's topic in Nursing Career

    I'd hold firm on your intentions to quit as soon as feasible- the BON is a thermonuclear option for an employer- if they're threatening it for anything that isn't obviously related to actual...

  3. Should I resign or am I overreacting?

    rzyzzy replied to BaybeeNurse20's topic in Nursing Career

    If you value your license, you'll say nothing- especially in writing, without an attorney's guidance. Anything you say or write at this point will be used against you. You can't write anything...

  4. Buying a House on a Nurse's Income: How Do Nurses Afford $450,000+ Houses?

    rzyzzy replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    The simple answer is you probably can’t buy a $400k house on a single nursing salary, without a significant down payment. the next (unasked) question is why are capital gains (money...

  5. I am under investigation by BON. Ethical question: Share or not share with potential employers?

    rzyzzy replied to 42pines's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree wholeheartedly and emphatically with this theory. State boards always have the option to do an “emergency” license suspension if the allegations are both serious and there’s any hint...

  6. I am under investigation by BON. Ethical question: Share or not share with potential employers?

    rzyzzy replied to 42pines's topic in General Nursing

    Actual answer, based on experience? I had a board complaint filed by an employer that “fired” me years ago. My attorney advised me not to disclose the pending complaint to potential...

  7. 80% BSN by 2020: Where Are We Now?

    rzyzzy replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    The legal jeopardy attached to nursing isn’t a feature that makes anyone safer. In nursing, going against your employer’s wishes will result in termination in nearly every case. Unsafe staffing...

  8. Well I failed my RN/NCLEX

    rzyzzy replied to Guest26407's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    One thing I haven’t heard mentioned - your school gets a report (in general terms) of the areas you failed in. My school encouraged anyone who didn’t pass to contact them, so that report could be...

  9. President Trump and the First Lady Test COVID Positive

    rzyzzy replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I don’t doubt it a bit. Congress and the president have the best socialist healthcare available. If you’re willing to lie for no reason at all, lying for sympathy when you’re behind isn’t...

  10. President Trump and the First Lady Test COVID Positive

    rzyzzy replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I’m with the fake publicity stunt camp - to push the narrative that covid is minor and not a threat. Nothing has been off limits for trump so far. No reason to believe anything he

  11. Penn Nursing students seek partial tuition refund due to COVID related virtual clinical training

    rzyzzy replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Nursing News

    Theres a post above that says $180,000 for an accelerated BSN. I sincerely doubt MSN students are worried about access to the sim

  12. Penn Nursing students seek partial tuition refund due to COVID related virtual clinical training

    rzyzzy replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Nursing News

    Yeah, well, it’s all loans and gifts anyway, right? pro-tip: if you need a briefcase full of $20’s to pay for one semester of nursing school, you’re probably paying too much to...

  13. Can I get a job as an ADN?

    rzyzzy replied to Braiden's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Getting the first (decent) job as an ADN was hard. With a couple years of experience, the doors opened up for me. I think the biggest thing that opens doors is the attitude that you present - my...

  14. What's up with the RN vs Paramedic hate?

    rzyzzy replied to ErikWeeWoo's topic in General Nursing

    My ADN program was evenly split between LPN’s and Medics “bridging” to RN.. Much respect to the medics - they had an easy time with some of the things the lpn’s struggled with...

  15. Is it appropriate to "show off" that you are a Nurse on social media?

    rzyzzy replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Less anonymous isn’t always a good thing. There was a conversation in the “off topic” lounge recently where a couple of “new” members here were trying to say that those who disagreed with...

  16. Speed for Rinsing Blood Back

    rzyzzy replied to integrativenurse's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I suspect the concern is saline vs actual blood coming back into the body & the possibility of flash pulmonary edema (with what could be effectively - a saline bolus if you weren’t watching...

  17. Do EHRs Push Nurses to Lie?

    rzyzzy replied to jeastridge's topic in General Specialties

    Worse yet are the systems with “hard stops” built in, so you have to click a box and type a password if you clicked that box. That’s a fine setting if it happens once or twice a day, but typing...

  18. Nazi-esque Black Lives Matter Protesters

    Whilst everyone here is attacking each other, those with actual power are consolidating that power and getting even richer....

    rzyzzy replied to guest416560's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    LOL. ten years in the joint, white dude with a shaved head - and you think he’s a “racial justice crusader”? Somehow, I think a lot more comes out about him over time, and I doubt...

  22. Nazi-esque Black Lives Matter Protesters

    rzyzzy replied to guest416560's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    this wasn’t a play riot, and the guys with long guns weren’t “play” policing. look at how the cops extracted “lefty” above - those are tactics that the armed forces use in foreign...

  23. Nazi-esque Black Lives Matter Protesters

    rzyzzy replied to guest416560's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Yes, unfortunately I believe they will pass laws that will indemnify drivers for mowing down “protesters” who block public roads without a permit - this is no different than the laws passed in...

  24. Nazi-esque Black Lives Matter Protesters

    rzyzzy replied to guest416560's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Yeah, the keyword here being “peaceful” .. The people who got shot in Kenosha weren’t peaceful, and they all had criminal records. Even calling them “protestors” is quite a stretch-...

  25. Nazi-esque Black Lives Matter Protesters

    rzyzzy replied to guest416560's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    If that’s the mindset of BLM, see how long it takes before we get some “mow them down” laws for people intentionally blocking public
