  8. What time do you leave work?

    nynursey_ replied to j0yegan's topic in General Nursing

    This! I live door-to-door 90 minutes from my hospital and when I'm there until 2000 or 2100, add that to the commute time (plus waiting for and riding the shuttle to the parking lot) and getting home,...

    *I'm* not that kind of nurse. I don't conditionally support someone when it benefits me. If someone is having difficulty, I support them. Period. End of

  10. Do you like your job?

    nynursey_ replied to Toomanyhatsforme's topic in General Nursing

    Some days I do. Some days I don't. Although, I think it has more to do with me than the facility, and I'm not too proud to acknowledge that. I'm a new nurse and some days I live in the realm of...

  11. It's end of shift and I'm leaving on time. Not!

    nynursey_ replied to nursefrances's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    1. RRT is called. 2. Code Blue 3. Order set comes in to get a stat lab order and then run blood/albumin. 4. Order comes in to transfer patient to the ICU. 5. Patient begins having an extreme anxiety...

    On the surface it may be a nurses' "choice" to live far away from their hospital, but you need to get over that and move on. In my town, there are two hospitals. Two. And neither one was hiring. The...

    I have bigger issues if I don't have the money up front for a hotel room? Man, … I don't even know where to begin with that. Cash on hand or extra funds isn't always a luxury people have, even with...

  19. Stop it!

    nynursey_ replied to RNGriffin's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Please stop confusing me with one of the other three nurses that have long hair and glasses. Yes, I know we're white, tall nurses and we have unit color-specific scrubs, but if you would take the time...

    I didn't say you were bitter either. I'm sorry if you gleaned that from my statement. I meant that I wouldn't feel any type of way about having to cover. 10, 20, or 30 years in, I s'pose I can't...

    I mean, I wouldn't call out simply because I didn't have power … I'd just make sure I could take a shower at the hospital in order to be hygienic. This nurse didn't just not have power in her house...

    If the hospital is offering reasonable accommodations, I'm all for it. There are some hospitals that don't offer those accommodations, which is why I started this thread. Some don't have policies at...

    Well, I'm sad for your lack of empathy and compassion for a nurse that has that situation happen. My entire house burned down last week and I had to use three of my personal days, which I'm sure...

  25. Why are nurses not paid more?

    nynursey_ replied to XcrMat's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    It also doesn't factor in that it's a base salary rate. It doesn't account for what is removed for health benefits and/or your tax bracket. So that $22/hr decreases significantly given those...
