  1. Why did you choose nursing?

    ORNursetobe33 replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    3 12's, scrubs and a ponytail. And I am paid MORE to work at night......a shift I LOVE anyways!!!!! Everyone wins! I am a good nurse, but it wasn't a

  2. Breaking Free From Nursing

    ORNursetobe33 replied to HealthyNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think OP is looking for praise, I think she is looking for others she works with to advocate for her patient like SHE does. I know exactly what she is referring to. You are the stand alone in...

  3. Cringe worthy follow up Note

    ORNursetobe33 replied to MrChicagoRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I love when people berate "humans" for their "deplorable" actions as if they are not human. Newsflash: you are one of us. And yes, a follow up thank you is pretty standard these days and I know, for a...

  4. RN Salary Survey 2013: Post here!

    ORNursetobe33 replied to ItsColduphere's topic in General Nursing

    Hospitals still pay RN's in the teens per hour? That is a shame! 1. NV 2. 1 3. Cath lab 4. 34/hr (+5.00 per hour on call and 1.5 time when called in) 5. Differentials based on what time a day or night...

  5. Standing up to my charge nurse prevented a mistake

    ORNursetobe33 replied to 002rn05's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    It's funny to hear so many nurses on here advocating for the "patient" against written orders, yet in the real world all you get is *crickets* when it comes down to it. Even from charge

  6. Standing up to my charge nurse prevented a mistake

    ORNursetobe33 replied to 002rn05's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    OP don't listen to most of the nurses on this thread. I will be nice and call them naysayers. You did the right thing and I am sure the doc agreed. Had you just done the draw your charge would not...

  7. Its official! I am leaving nursing.........

    ORNursetobe33 replied to Kashia's topic in General Nursing

    I envy you very much. I am constantly finding myself shaking my head more and more at the things I am seeing day after day in my job and its scaring me to death (How does one send a patient home post...

  8. Bad Job Market? Be a NURSE! (Insert eye roll here)

    ORNursetobe33 replied to BloomNurseRN's topic in General Nursing

    I really don't see how it's anybody else's business why someone got into nursing. If they are capable, can do the job and like the money....then it suits them. Not everybody gets "called" to be a...

  9. Circumcision

    ORNursetobe33 replied to TexRN's topic in General Students

    Glad you guys chuckled, I Thought you guys might enjoy! Poor parents, condemned if you do, condemned if you don't. There is always a controversy over something. Makes me feel better about my decision...

  10. Circumcision

    ORNursetobe33 replied to TexRN's topic in General Students

    Funny story to lighten this up. When I was in high school, one of my good friends had a kid that she chose not to have circumcised. people raised their eyebrows but no big deal. He turned 17 two weeks...

  11. tatoos & piercings, part 2

    ORNursetobe33 replied to amoLucia's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I don't give my tattoos enough thought to sit around and regret them all day. I was thoughtful with mine, in where they are on me and what they are and I wouldn't change them at all. Except for one...

  12. tattoos/piercings

    ORNursetobe33 replied to Swellz's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. Because EVERYONE follows policies and procedures to a tee! Our ER nurses and EMT's look like a multicolored punk rock show. I think it's kinda cool. When a patient is coding the family doesn't...

  13. New Grad States & Relocating

    ORNursetobe33 replied to jeangarc18's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Las Vegas will hire new grads. Our healthcare and doctors here are so backwards that they can't wait to get new grads and start corrupting them and telling them what to do. It's a substandard medical...

  14. Second career nurses: Do you like nursing better?

    ORNursetobe33 replied to stefanyjoy's topic in General Nursing

    I use to work in a field where your only options for employment were large corporations. I thought that every time they freaked out about something stupid it was wasted time because "We aren't curing...

  15. Finding employment with an associates degree...

    ORNursetobe33 replied to sjg8412's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Where I work, the hospitals are hiring ADN's...if they are needed. The first wave of new hire BSN's (like myself) all quit a particular floor in my hospital, and all the new hires after that were...

  16. Buy or Rent Nursing Textbooks

    ORNursetobe33 replied to Meeh619's topic in General Students

    I rented all of my textbooks and just recorded the lectures and highlighted the notes I took on my laptop in class. Renting my textbooks saved me $710 during nursing school. As we were not allowed to...

  17. Everything is our responsibility. Rant.

    ORNursetobe33 replied to dudette10's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    GrumpyRN, I agree. I was always scoffed at on my floor for "backtalk" to the doctors, when all I did was tell them they need to blame the correct people for certain problems. Dr. So and So would be...

  18. Everything is our responsibility. Rant.

    ORNursetobe33 replied to dudette10's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    LOL!!! This thread is hysterical! I am crying I am laughing so hard. All of this is so true. Real conversation I had with my manager (I guess you could say that I am not mean, per se, but I have zero...

  19. Hospital nurses - is it really that bad?

    ORNursetobe33 replied to Marshall1's topic in General Nursing

    I think the saddest part about hospital nursing is how its bad ALL over the hospital. I don't even work on the floor of a hospital, I work in a whole other area that is supposed to be where those on...

  20. All the cool people work nights!

    ORNursetobe33 replied to meanmaryjean's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree. I was nights in ICU step down then got recruited for a 'higher position' in the hospital. They told me i could 'get off the hellish night schedule' (which I never had a problem with at all)....

  21. Question about when to take the NCLEX

    ORNursetobe33 replied to SunshineDaisy's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Take it where you want. I am in NV, too and at least 5 people in my class took the test in California to get an earlier

  22. Where do you Study?

    ORNursetobe33 replied to Danielle318's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    County Library...private room.

  23. Took nclex-rn today

    ORNursetobe33 replied to cuteypie's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took it today, too. What a random weird test. I got the "good pop up", but I am not sure how? I don't even know what to tell people to study for it. I mean...I was certain I failed. I don't even get...
