4. Texas governor to residents: "The safest place for you is at your home" due Covid-19 spike

   keldorn replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in COVID

   I wouldn't bother with nursing, you will be bored and frustrated, cause you have to take care of people whether you think they should be living or not. If you have insatiable curiosity, then you should be pursuing research, and move on to the PhD lev...

   keldorn replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in COVID

   My hospital started off with maybe a few PUI's, very few positive cases for the past months, and if there were positives, they were diverted. Now 25% of our unit is COVID+, and the ER has even more holding for beds. But hey, the hero nurses are provi...

9. Nursing Is No Longer Worth It

   keldorn replied to AnonymousSuper's topic in COVID

   Even better advice for those going into the nursing profession, or any profession, is that if you're not sure if it's the field for you, do not make big purchases right away when you start making a paycheck. If you took student loans, you're already ...

    keldorn replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    Glad to hear you're safe! I did 96+ hours and able to get a few days rest before going back. I was getting delirious toward the end and not able to sleep well at all. My apartment is fine and my truck was not flooded so I'm extremely grateful. It's ...

    keldorn replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    I'm scheduled to work Saturday and Sunday evening, but I have to report in today as part of Team A, E1 etc. There's already enough nurses for tonight, so I guess it's to make sure there's adequate staff for the weekend. My concern is that the area ...

    keldorn replied to GreenApplesauce's topic in General Nursing

    So what if 50% of CRNA's are men. When someone is going to put me under for a procedure, all I care is that they are competent, and not whether they are male or female.

    I'm currently in an ADN program, and there are students who are working and have a family, but they are only surviving because they have a really strong work ethic, and time management skills. Considering that half the students make it toward the end...

    keldorn replied to Jrivet5's topic in Texas

    I bought my book new through Amazon and no code came with it either, just the CD. I wonder if it was supposed to be bundled together with the book like how the code is w/ Kozier's? Since everyone is going to need it, they better give us a group rate,...
