  1. ICU vs ER experience for employment at a Cath Lab

    guest769224 replied to Your_Pal_Squiddy's topic in Cardiac

    I would say the only downsides are taking call overnight, if you dislike that. That means coming in for STEMI's at 2 am and such. Another potential downside, constant radiation exposure...although you...

  2. Critical care Q

    guest769224 replied to hellohobbit's topic in General Nursing

  3. Why did you choose to be an ICU Nurse?

    guest769224 replied to al3x117's topic in Critical Care

    I've done ICU for 5 years now. Switched to Cath Lab last year. I work both departments now. I really don't care much for ICU anymore. Cath Lab is way. better in my opinion. However I do appreciate...

  4. Does one have an advantage coming from a “top” hospital?

    guest769224 replied to wolfgangRN's topic in General Nursing

    Hey Las Vegas has great nursing pay with a relatively low COL. Made well over 6 figures last year. PM me if you want details. I worked for a huge level 1 trauma center in Utah years ago and am so...

  5. Question about cross-training into Cath Lab

    guest769224 replied to jollydogg_RN's topic in Cardiac

    I've been an ICU/ER nurse for 5 years now, and would definitely feel out of my element on a travel assignment for IR/CL if I didn't have prior experience in those units. It's a steep learning curve....

  6. Question about cross-training into Cath Lab

    guest769224 replied to jollydogg_RN's topic in Cardiac

    I work in a Cath Lab/IR position. I interviewed for CL and then was told cross training was mandatory. Also float to Stress Lab. IR is fun, but I like CL better. IR seems more relaxed and easy to me....

  7. New NP grad at 50 years old. Is the age an obstacle to be hired?

    guest769224 replied to NN2BVE's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That's exactly what I'm trying to do as a Cath Lab RN right now! I was so stuck on wanting to do CRNA forever... and still am considering. But for now I have a lot of access to call-pay and I am...

  8. CRNA Schools with Online Components

    guest769224 replied to jfratian's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    University of Arizona Tucson structures their program like this. 1st year is online and able to be completed from your home state. I believe they require one or two visits during the

  9. What would you do?

    guest769224 replied to Hunt er's topic in General Nursing

    How interesting that you posted this. I am also 28 and male, focused on FIRE, and have a goal to retire by age 40 but continue working for casual/easy income. You need to check out this link on...

    guest769224 replied to VegGal's topic in General Nursing

  11. New Grad BSN looking for L&D or Mother Baby or NICU in Las Vegas or Henderson

    guest769224 replied to Melikesflowers's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Try the Valley Health System. They are the "friendliest" for new grads going into specialties. HCA (Sunrise Health) also has new grad programs. UMC will occasionally take new graduates. As far as...

  12. Travel Pay

    guest769224 replied to Redvet371's topic in Travel

    Is the $100/hr only for OR, though? Any idea if ICU or Cath Lab could ever fetch a similar

  13. Accept and Adapt or Warning Sign: Attention-Needy Patients Burning Me Out

    guest769224 replied to 2018RNat44's topic in General Nursing

    I’m so glad I switched to IR and Cath Lab to get away from situations like this. I did ICU 5 years (still do it per diem) and enough was enough, in part because of situations like the OP described....

  14. How much does Fresenius or Davita pay in Las Vegas?

    guest769224 replied to mahaska's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I don't work in dialysis, I work in a hospital. However I do want to say...with 4 years of RN experience, you can likely expect $40/hr minimum. Fair chance it could be higher than that. I don't know...

  16. Where are my work-at-home homies?

    guest769224 replied to Lunah's topic in General Nursing

    What type of work from home job are you involved in? I am also considering a WFH job and have enjoyed this thread. I just browsed the job boards for insurance companies... doesn't seem to be many WFH...

  17. A rant and a question re: CRNA master’s program

    guest769224 replied to RN_2001's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Online doesn't exist. Personally I support the move to a doctorate degree mandate. Keeps barrier to entry high and helps safeguard high income and healthy job prospects. There are still a small...

  18. ICU for EP Lab?

    guest769224 replied to CardiacRNLA's topic in Cardiac

    MusicGuy, how does the EP Lab differ from regular Cath Lab? Are they two separate areas, or it depends on the facility? I work CL and am considering applying for EP at a different facility, however I...

    guest769224 replied to workingot's topic in Nursing Career

    Made 125K last year with an associate's degree. But starting to get tired of nursing after 5 years. Switching specialties helped. Want to find a work from home job, but they could never mirror my pay....

  21. Switching Specialties, EP or Cath Lab?

    guest769224 replied to hcurry1's topic in Cardiac

    Dianah, at your facility you have an actual RN scrub in next to the physician? That's fascinating to me, because at my facility only a tech ever scrubs in, and the nurses always circulate doing meds,...

  22. Surge Pay

    guest769224 replied to Icualltheway's topic in General Nursing

    Surprised at the incentives posted so far. In my city, you get time and a half. 1.5 of your hourly, that's it. (Which is worth it to me). And that is at a more "generous" hospital system in town. The...

  23. Anyone Ever Actually Used Their Malpractice Insurance?

    guest769224 replied to PMHNP2023's topic in General Nursing
