  1. Hard Decision

    jobellestarr replied to SouthSectional's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with all of the other posts here. I don’t think you have enough experience. Also, something that a lot of travelers don’t realize is that travel nurses seem to make a high salary, most of...

  2. Requesting Help With Dream Interpretation

    jobellestarr replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Nursemares.

  3. Giving abx in 100 ml NS instead of 50 ml

    jobellestarr replied to autumn_blue's topic in General Nursing

    Huh? Duh. I’m talking about fluid. I wouldn’t have mixed the dose in 100 ml and then empty 50 ml. Good

  4. Giving abx in 100 ml NS instead of 50 ml

    jobellestarr replied to autumn_blue's topic in General Nursing

    It could. If I was going to use a 100 ml bag when the dosing is for 50 ml, I would hook up the bag to tubing and run out 50 ml. Some patients are on strict fluid restrictions/precautions. I’m a...

  5. Do you ever feel guilty on your days off (not sick days)?

    jobellestarr replied to Ele_phant's topic in General Nursing

    This is why administration preys on nurses. And a well meaning suggestion is to read “codependent no more” by Melody

  6. 52 yr old Foreign RN Can't Land Job

    jobellestarr replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I’m suggesting checking into Indian Health Service. But you’d need to check the citizenship requirements for a federal job. Same as VA. Maybe try dialysis. They seem pretty open to different...

  7. So Happy To Be Out Of Nursing

    jobellestarr replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I went to the farm store in my new home town to see if I’d want to work there. It’s one of my life long obsessions. I’ll be done with nursing in about 6

  8. Covid Abuse!

    jobellestarr replied to guest1163268's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Do you pat them on the hand and say “it’s OK, there, there.” I also disagree 100%. One of the more ridiculous and offensive nursplaying posts I’ve seen on

  9. Covid Abuse!

    jobellestarr replied to guest1163268's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Well, I’ve been slugged, slapped, bit, sworn at and had a full water pitcher thrown at my head. A friend was hit in the head with a telephone. It’s been going on forever but it’s definitely...

  10. Was it easier to practice as a nurse back in the day?

    jobellestarr replied to guest1143647's topic in General Nursing

    For me nursing changed with the advent of HMO’s and managed care. Before then, care was provided by mostly religious organizations. Also, a previous poster mentioned how the physicians treated...

  11. Having Trouble Following The Narrative

    jobellestarr replied to Guest219794's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I have a friend that won’t get vaccinated because she’s had Covid and believes that her antibodies are enough to protect her. Anyone know how long the antibodies last if you’ve had Covid? How...

  12. Advice On Appropriate Head Covering For A Transgender Nurse

    jobellestarr replied to nogoodsirimonthelevel's topic in General Nursing

    Don’t have an answer for you except sending you love and support in your

  13. Dismissal From Nursing Program - Is all hope lost?

    jobellestarr replied to Rach1234567's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Interesting responses that you’re giving to people that are kindly giving you advice. I have a friend who is a retired professor and her saying is “ In school, you (student) are not the one that...

  14. Unvaccinated nursing instructor in Missouri is hospitalized with Covid-19 and urging everyone to get the vaccine

    jobellestarr replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My daughter’s shower curtain is a picture of a world map. It’s a pretty good teacher,

  15. Unvaccinated nursing instructor in Missouri is hospitalized with Covid-19 and urging everyone to get the vaccine

    jobellestarr replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I agree. I don’t understand not wanting to learn about how others live, cultures, etc. it doesn’t matter how much money I have, where I live, etc. I’m still interested in the world around me. I...

  16. Unvaccinated nursing instructor in Missouri is hospitalized with Covid-19 and urging everyone to get the vaccine

    jobellestarr replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Completely agree. The no curiosity is a weird thing to me. I live on the Navajo reservation and idiot travel nurses come to help in a pandemic and aren’t vaccinated. WTH is this? Also, they had no...

  17. Possibly Moving to NM

    jobellestarr replied to peds_luv's topic in General Nursing

    I like both Albuquerque and Santa Fe. Actually, Santa Fe is one of my favorite places. I like it better than Taos. I’ve heard good things about the hospital in Santa Fe too and there are also Indian...

  18. Non Accredited (but approved) Nursing Schools

    jobellestarr replied to Summer365's topic in School, College Programs

    Look for MEPN programs. This is a masters in nursing as an entry

  19. Not Sure What Direction To Go From Here...

    jobellestarr replied to Aliceozwalker's topic in General Nursing

    I see. Well, it sounds like something away from the bedside might be best for you. Good options for you from other posters and I wish you luck and peace

  20. Not Sure What Direction To Go From Here...

    jobellestarr replied to Aliceozwalker's topic in General Nursing

    I’m just throwing this out there as I have no idea what the market is like but would working in psych be a better fit for you? Would this be less stressful for you? And maybe get your psych NP?

  22. Pay in Phoenix, AZ.?

    jobellestarr replied to jnb1740's topic in General Nursing

    IHS has clinics and they’re nice to work at. And of course, the VA would have clinics. There is a county hospital. I believe it’s called Valleywise. I’m leaving Phoenix so haven’t paid much...

  23. Pay in Phoenix, AZ.?

    jobellestarr replied to jnb1740's topic in General Nursing

    VA pays much better than private in AZ. Also, consider IHS (Phoenix Indian Medical Center) which also pays much more than private. As a 34 year nurse, I make about 104,000 for IHS and a friend...

  24. Coping with the Death of a Fellow Nurse

    jobellestarr replied to Nurse-please's topic in General Nursing

    Please don’t misunderstand what people are trying to say to you. Of course it is sad and your concern is heartfelt. The way I deal with this is to say “this is not my sorrow.” Am I sad? Of...
