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

    DesiDani replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Well when you go from making $9 per hour to $30 per hour (In my state) after finishing school you dream big. Then reality sinks in, but it is too late after you sign on the dotted line. Some...

  3. Do you agree with Gov. Cuomo?

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Oh I worked in them before, I just forgot. Just found it strange that isolated resident was kept in the same room as one not infected. Daybeds never heard of that in context of nursing

  4. President Biden thread

    DesiDani replied to Beerman's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Your connection could be an illusion. You obviously have the power in the dynamic. Desperate workers don't complain for many

    Step back and think about

  6. President Biden thread

    DesiDani replied to Beerman's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I personally don't care about the political part of this thread. To me "nice quiet illegal migrant worker" is the 21 century version of the "happy slave"

  7. President Biden thread

    DesiDani replied to Beerman's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    My statement is your exact words. You are talking about paying people half price, who basically smile, shut up, and don't complain because in your own words "they have too much to loose". Then you...

  8. President Biden thread

    DesiDani replied to Beerman's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    "They are trustworthy and hard working. Quiet and polite. " "They never cause trouble or impose because they have too much to lose." I hope you can see how inhumane this repeated sentiment...

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

    DesiDani replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I heard of stories of nurses purchasing a home that they can't afford so they work 2 jobs and countless

  10. Having A Nurse As A Patient

    DesiDani replied to SkyDancer77's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Just take what they claim to be and bring it down a notch. "I used to be a nurse" in reality was a CNA. "I used to be a CNA" in reality a PCT. "I used to work with a lot of patients" in reality a...

  11. Do you agree with Gov. Cuomo?

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Oh I forgot to mention. The place did have a lot of empty rooms. Maybe not a lot, but they had some. The thing is that no one was paying (private or Medicaid) for those rooms is my opinion why they...

  12. Do you agree with Gov. Cuomo?

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Before COVID I got a 2nd job at a nursing home part-time. My full-time job is at a hospital. I am used to having patients with infections or rule out in isolation or pairing them up and having some...

  13. Do you agree with Gov. Cuomo?

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    So are you saying that even staff was the source of infection, it could have been prevented with proper management and supply of PPE for those working in NH? Let me add, that since most of the people...

  14. Four 12s in a row?!?! ??

    DesiDani replied to NightNerd's topic in General Nursing

    We had mandatory overtime for a while. Yeah it sucks, what I don't like is when you call out that still counts as a call off. Let me explain, you get a certain number of call offs in a calendar year....

  15. When One Patient Affects the Care Other Patients Receive

    DesiDani replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Best patient I ever had gave his whiny, demanding, and unbearable roommate a message that I wish I could say. Sadly he said it while being discharged. He spared no words. It started with a STFU, and...

    An identical twin who is also in healthcare. I worked with a few, but they had different jobs. Too bad most twins look different as they get older. You can get your twin to attend those mandatory...

    DesiDani replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Force contactless restraints on beds or mobile device for the really combative ones. Sort of like a magnet. The RN can loosen section by section with various degrees of force necessary dependent on...

    DesiDani replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Automatic PPE as you enter an isolation room. Built into the door frame of an isolation room you walk one way through a film that covers you with a film that is full PPE. You walk out and the film...

  20. Why is it called the nurses’ station when it should be called the CNAs’ station?

    DesiDani replied to JJBookman's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    If you can log in with a badge you can just swipe them out. A bit abrupt, but nurses have priority due to charting. A simple "I need this computer, could you move please" may do wonders, you'd be...

  21. What CNA to RN, "now I understand" realization have you had?

    DesiDani posted a topic in General Nursing

    Now that you are a RN, what do RNs see that CNAs don't and visa

  22. What CNA to RN, "now I understand" realization have you had?

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I'm aware of some differences since my mom was an RN. Ex: she says some things are time related and it MUST be entered into the chart, it can't be late. So she may not have time to help the CNA do...

  23. What CNA to RN, "now I understand" realization have you had?

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    That's low for an RN, but it was 1990. That still seems pretty

  24. Do you get covid pay?

    DesiDani replied to newgraduategal's topic in Disaster Preparation

    ????? Oh God COVID pay, too funny. My hospital did manage to pay us a bonus if... IF we sign up to work extra shift. The bonus is an addition to overtime pay. So you can call that covid pay, I...
