I went to LVN school in Southern California about 10 years ago and my first clinical site was pretty much the same as your experience. We had lunch at a nearby sushi place who didn't mind if some of us brought our own food and kept our belongings in our cars. As I progressed in the program, the sites improved, especially so with a high GPA.

Whatever you do, please don't send pizza!

None of these products caused a world-wide pandemic. We are treading in much deeper waters here (regarding Covid-19) and as such our actions and words have much greater consequence, literally and figuratively.

It's in alphabetical order ?.

Are you hiring?

No testing of staff whatsoever in Southern California hospital. Two thirds of our patients are covid positive and we have been working out of ratio for at least a week. And yes, some of my fellow nurses continue to travel like the world isn't succumbing to a pandemic. Meanwhile, my request for a single day of PTO next month (almost 300 hours banked at this point) hasn't been approved... The struggle is real y'all.

I work med surg tele with ratio of 1:4 and more often than not have covid patients on heated high flow or oxymizer. It really is unnerving to have one on both high flow and the non rebreather though.

In my SoCal hospital we can't test for either of these in the absence of symptoms.

Got my LVN in 2012 and my RN in 2017; 39 years old. Prior to nursing I worked in marketing:/

They also didn't wash their hands in 1333.

I'd say that is pretty standard.

At least they asked and didn't just pretend to understand.

I continued to work in SNF after getting my RN so that I could be "picky" about my next place of employment, i.e. relatively better benefits/pay and day shift schedule. It took about 18 months and hundreds of applications to achieve this, but I made it. It is not my preferred unit, but the supportive unit culture makes up for it. Also I am in CA, so that helps too.

More like Gen X; this happened almost 20 years ago. I am confident that a person of Gen Z age group was not directly affected by an event from 2001.

... Something outside of my scope.
