    Do nurses hate nursing?

    Julius Seizure replied to pandora1212's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I know you addressed this to JKL33, but I hope you don't mind if I chime in as well. I don't think I became numb to it either...in fact, the opposite. Maybe it was because nursing was different when...

    Nurses make more than median salary, so you should be grateful for what you earn?

    Julius Seizure replied to pecantreechipmunk's topic in General Nursing

    Thats what they signed up for though, right? To be "short timers"....there are perks and there are downsides. Yes the hourly rate is sometimes great (especially in COVID times), but traveling is not...

    Nurses make more than median salary, so you should be grateful for what you earn?

    Julius Seizure replied to pecantreechipmunk's topic in General Nursing

    Yes I know you said 'double to triple.' What is the ballpark figure - $50k, $100k, $200k? What are these travelers telling you that they make? And without the travelers, it would be nothing...

    Share Policies That Have Not Saved One Life

    Julius Seizure replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    But wherever will I write "will continue to monitor?" I love your attitude. I'm sure some here are familiar with the "sticky note" section if you use Epic as your EMR. That is about as...

    IV nurse requirements for "IV bar"

    Julius Seizure replied to Echo Romeo's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I have absolutely no insight that can help you, OP. Sorry. However, I did want to chime in about all the eye-rolling. Yes, these types of places are often used by those who are nursing a...

    Nurses make more than median salary, so you should be grateful for what you earn?

    Julius Seizure replied to pecantreechipmunk's topic in General Nursing

    Yup, even when they decide to drop them in the middle of their contract with no warning. Better find a new contract, quick. Hope you aren't out $$ on that 3-month apartment rental that you already...

    May I ask what your benchmark for an average travel nurse's salary/compensation is? Like, paycheck and whatever benefits they might

    Hi Slhengy, Coming to you from the year 2021 - data abstractors have not gone away, in fact our hospital keeps hiring more! Its definitely a niche area to work in, but the jobs are out here

    I have potentially been offered a position managing a surgical outcomes database for a growing surgical program at my hospital. The core of the job would be reviewing chart records and entering the...

    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    Julius Seizure replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Why is her lawyer advising her well?? Because they are her lawyer. Same as not being interrogated without your lawyer present, or your right to not self-incriminate. It doesn't mean you are hiding...

    Julius Seizure replied to Julius Seizure's topic in Quality Improvement

    Hi @eaRNdit! As you can see, I never got any responses on this post. I did take the job and have been enjoying it immensely. It is not difficult in the way that floor nursing is, but it is busy in...

    LIES About LPN's and LVN's

    Julius Seizure replied to Divine-LPN,BSN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    @Holly678 what ventilator certification do you hold? I wasn't aware there was a specific certification for this skill. What is it/what are the requirements? Is it for RNs too, or one of those...

    Older Doctor doesn't think nurses should be in charge

    Julius Seizure replied to angeloublue22's topic in General Nursing

    In some ways, yes. In other ways, the nurse is most knowledgeable, and in other ways it will be the social worker, physical therapy, pharmacist, or physician. THAT is the value of a team approach.

    Does the BSN in 10 apply to all nurses or just RN's and why?

    Julius Seizure replied to LPNTORN704's topic in General Nursing

    So is your argument that nursing should keep the informatics, ethics, research, management, and leadership courses in the curriculum, but make them harder (as well as the hard sciences)? I can't say...

    Hospital management might not. But the poor nurse stuck making the calls definitely

    Should I feel guilty?

    Julius Seizure replied to RNOrtho's topic in General Nursing

    Or (only if #1 want to, #2 are rested enough to provide save care AND #3 can get yourself to/from work safely), say you would come in...for a certain amount of bonus

    Does the BSN in 10 apply to all nurses or just RN's and why?

    Julius Seizure replied to LPNTORN704's topic in General Nursing

    I of course agree that one can be an excellent nurse without a BSN. But it does always make me a little sad that subjects not directly related to bedside care are considered "fluff" and a waste of...

    Julius Seizure replied to LPNTORN704's topic in General Nursing

    Well, yes, but so can a CNA, a social worker, a chaplain, etc. I know that isn't helpful, but I'm just saying those skills don't require one to be a nurse at
