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

Crystal-Wings replied to NightNerd's topic in General Nursing

That sounds awful, and I don’t think I could do it. I work 2 10 hour shifts and then have a day off, then work another 2 10 hour shifts and then I’m off for 2 days. At first I didn’t think I...
Continuous pulse oximetry monitoring and COVID

Crystal-Wings replied to macleod340's topic in Disaster Preparation

If they have conditions that impact circulation, why aren’t their fingers/toes that have the clip on them checked more frequently? To me it would make sense to change the finger/toe that the clip is...

Student Attempted IV 7 Times

Crystal-Wings replied to ChickenHealer's topic in General Nursing

I have seen job postings for clinics and some home health positions that require the LPN/LVN to be IV certified. I got certified to do it years ago, but never had a job where I’d need to do it and...

Student Attempted IV 7 Times

Crystal-Wings replied to ChickenHealer's topic in General Nursing

Yeah I’m not sure why they’d say that. I think every RN should learn how to do it. I even think it’s a skill an LPN should at least be familiar

Student Attempted IV 7 Times

Crystal-Wings replied to ChickenHealer's topic in General Nursing

How else are you supposed to learn if you don’t actually do it? Yes, I think 7 tries is excessive and the nurse should have stepped in after a few misses but I think it’s stupid that your school...
What Has Been an Upside to Covid?

Crystal-Wings replied to NutmeggeRN's topic in School

I can assure you, there is nothing. The love of my life went away in March and I don’t know when or if I will ever see him again. I’ve had clinical depression and anxiety for years and this...
Covid-19: Contacted by your state’s BON

Crystal-Wings replied to nursetim's topic in Disaster Preparation

Yes! They keep sending me job offers for 12 hour shifts in SNF’s that only pay $22 an hour. As far as I’m concerned, that is horrible pay for the SF Bay Area, let alone to work in a SNF FOR 12
Intubation Should Be A Nursing Skill, Especially Now

You guys are the only nurses that should be allowed to do it.
Is it reasonable for Nurses to be fired who "ran away" from work during the pandemic?

Crystal-Wings replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in Disaster Preparation

Sort of. In a way, their jobs should be given to people that actually WANT to work. Unless you absolutely had no other choice and had to leave your job because you needed to take care of family (kids,...

Rationing Care in COVID: Whose life is worth saving?

Crystal-Wings replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

I hate to say it, but it’s a waste of resources to keep people already on their way out alive. For example, what is the point of putting a 90 something year old individual with covid on a vent and...

How to Deal with Staff Who Don't Like You?

Crystal-Wings replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

I can second this. One of the reasons I enjoy extended care home health is because I don’t have coworkers. I’ve never been a “team player” and have social anxiety, so the fewer people I have...
When Your Patient Wants To Talk Politics

Crystal-Wings replied to KC,RN's topic in General Nursing
