  1. Vocera! Can you talk to...?

    LibraNurse27 replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    LOL yes!! I'll try to ask it to call someone named Kelly, and it says "calling Administration Team"...

  2. Covid Vaccine Given Too High On Arm

    LibraNurse27 replied to andrusia's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It does look a little high to me, but I don't think high enough to be injected into the joint or bone. I really hope

    LibraNurse27 replied to direw0lf's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes hospitals don't feel like healing environments... just my

  4. Buying a House on a Nurse's Income: How Do Nurses Afford $450,000+ Houses?

    LibraNurse27 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! I didn't know that. I guess if not even a prince can buy this house I better let it

  5. Buying a House on a Nurse's Income: How Do Nurses Afford $450,000+ Houses?

    LibraNurse27 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Update: I figure I could spend about $10,000 but no one I know wants to lend me $29,990,000 = ( And I found out banks don't accept a 0.03% down payment

  6. Buying a House on a Nurse's Income: How Do Nurses Afford $450,000+ Houses?

    LibraNurse27 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    American media seems to focus on over the top wealth and drama, but as @Wuzzie mentioned, I don't think most regular Americans are out trying to buy Ferraris and going nuts flipping tables over and...

  7. I think I’ll be fired and I really do need to vent my fears

    LibraNurse27 replied to direw0lf's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure! breaks were 30 mins. A lot can be done in 30 mins, and urgent situations can't wait. As for the yelling, I just thought that was how hospital work is, stressful! 3 months have passed since...

  8. Buying a House on a Nurse's Income: How Do Nurses Afford $450,000+ Houses?

    LibraNurse27 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I think most US nurses go into nursing for a mix of wanting to help people and because it is a way to make a living. But I don't think nurses here are all about money; there are many professions that...

  9. Buying a House on a Nurse's Income: How Do Nurses Afford $450,000+ Houses?

    LibraNurse27 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed! I think most Americans are not greedy. We suffer due to lack of assistance, systematic oppression, HUGE income inequality. Here the inequality is astounding. There are literal billionaires in...

  10. Buying a House on a Nurse's Income: How Do Nurses Afford $450,000+ Houses?

    LibraNurse27 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, not all Americans are greedy and jealous. I just think we tend to forget how privileged many of us are in the grand scheme of things, both in our country and in the world. There are countries...

  11. Buying a House on a Nurse's Income: How Do Nurses Afford $450,000+ Houses?

    LibraNurse27 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not embarrassed to make the choice to move in with family. It's impossible to buy a home here unless you're a tech worker, CEO, etc. I don't look down on those who live in "undesirable" areas....

  12. I think I’ll be fired and I really do need to vent my fears

    LibraNurse27 replied to direw0lf's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, and even though those in a protected class are supposed to be "protected" from harassment, doesn't mean it always happens. Our weekend charge was great as part of the IV/PICC team, but on...

  13. Critical Thinking - Need Help!

    LibraNurse27 replied to jennsrn's topic in General Nursing

    16 patients with IV meds and other semi acute issues sounds really tough. I actually did see critical thinking in your post. You thought about why the pt was having abnormal vital signs and you...

  14. Buying a House on a Nurse's Income: How Do Nurses Afford $450,000+ Houses?

    LibraNurse27 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, as long as your family is not abusive or terrible, it's great that you can live with them and save money. Try to focus on the positive. Of course we don't know all the details of your living...

  15. Buying a House on a Nurse's Income: How Do Nurses Afford $450,000+ Houses?

    LibraNurse27 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Another option for saving money is moving in with family to save. Or living in a cheap/minimal space situation while you save. My partner and I are moving in with her mom for a year or two to save...

  16. Buying a House on a Nurse's Income: How Do Nurses Afford $450,000+ Houses?

    LibraNurse27 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I can think of a lot of things worse than owning a townhouse or condo. Like being

  17. Got Fired From My First Nursing Job

    LibraNurse27 replied to Lynker's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I'm glad you still got the antibodies! I never thought of "missing" an IM. IVs I've missed tons ? I guess everything gets better with repetition. I was also always followed by the state... until...

  18. Got Fired From My First Nursing Job

    LibraNurse27 replied to Lynker's topic in General Nursing

    Oh no! Did she have to re-do it? Or just move the needle? That's pretty high up on the

  19. Anybody regret going to Kaiser?

    LibraNurse27 replied to MyAimIsTrue's topic in General Nursing

    I have never worked for Kaiser, but have friends who do. They are very happy with the pay but dislike the micromanagement. They have someone whose job is to monitor their charting in real time and...

  20. Job Market for Nurses

    LibraNurse27 replied to joonilchoe's topic in General Nursing

    Here in northern CA it seems it is still hard to get a new grad job, but I did notice my hospital was hiring a few new grads when I left. As always it was a bit easier to get into my county hospital...

  21. My Experience of Trans Ideology and Nursing

    LibraNurse27 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I think I will leave this thread now, was trying to have a real discussion about sexuality and gender, but now it is just turning into a critique of lesbian Media, which as @klone stated above, can be...

  22. How Has Your Nursing Career Affected Your Relationships Or Other Aspects of Your Life?

    LibraNurse27 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    If you are going to work extra, at least go to a hospital where you are paid overtime! It's not good to work 16 hours, but in my hospital the last 8 hours would be time and a half. Some people did it...

  23. Got Fired From My First Nursing Job

    LibraNurse27 replied to Lynker's topic in General Nursing

    What is the concern if you don't give the injection deep enough? I know with something that can be caustic like phenergan it's more risk to irritate the muscle/tissue/skin. Other than that is it an...

  24. Is it wise to work from home?

    LibraNurse27 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Don't recommend it. I briefly had access to charting at home when I worked at a community clinic, and my friend and I who was an NP would find ourselves obsessively checking on pt's labs and imaging...

  25. My Experience of Trans Ideology and Nursing

    LibraNurse27 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Probably because you find it attractive. I know a lot of guys that are fine with lesbian sex (as long as they find the 2 women attractive), but feel turned off by gay male sex. I guess you can't help...
