Disability.... what's next
I have finally got approved for SSDI since 2018 I have had 2 rotator cuff surgeries on same shoulder. ACDF of C4-C7, permanent nerve damage because of spinal stenosis, meniscus repair, partial knee replacement that got infected, had a washout hospitalized 10 days, PICC line with IV antibiotics, large synovial cyst on l4-l5 had a laminectomy and fusion and was told not to lift more then 20 lbs forthe rest of my life. Neurotransmitter in c7 with 4 leads. That actually has helped with nerve damage... I also have RA I have been treated with IV DMARD for many years... oh I am only 54. So I got disability with first try . I did use a lawyer. So now my question, other then the obvious...care for myself, what's next? I mean I have always worked alot. I drove over an hour to work or more. Now what do I do? I am planning on keeping my license, because I have earned it. I just will never work again. And I don't want too. My husband makes good money. I only applied to disability in case something happens to him. Now how what do I do to keep my mind occupied. What have you done, retired or disabled.

Being Ghosted by recruiters
I had an interview 2 weeks ago. It appeared to go well. The manager said she would send my information to HR. HR asked for 5 references 2 must be from supervisors. I got 4 references and 1 from a supervisor. I absolutely have no one else to ask. I sent HR an email ( there is no phone number) The email link for references stated to notify HR if I had any problems or questions with references. It was been 3 days. No response. I emailed manager, no response. The job I interviewed for still has my interview scheduled, it hasn't been updated that I am no longer considered for position. I am just frustrated that I feel like I have been ghosted. It's okay if they don't want me. I am not offended. I get it. But why ghost someone? That isn't right. Now I am to the point if they do offer me the position I might turn it down out of spite. Luckily I don't financially need to work. My husband has a good job. Thanks for letting me vent.

Nicu Meds
Hi, I haven't worked bedside for a few years. I have had a lot of experience in pediatrics and floated many times in NICU. I mainly cared for feeders and growers. Since it has been a while, does anyone have a list of common meds with dosages for the NICU. It is a level 2+ NICU. We do use vents but the maximum we leave them of vent is 3 days, then they are transferred out. Any help or suggestions will be helpful. I probably won't start job until March. I have an offer. I just want to be up to speed before I start. Thank You

Most hilarious/creative/inventive names you've been called...
Honestly, I pretty much ignore what ever is said. I was surprised when I heard a 3 year old call me a Puta (SP maybe wrong.)Once I found out what that was I told the parents they were bad parents for teaching their child that and laughing at it.

I just recently got a text saying the AHA is not requiring in person testing due to covid. Does anyone know anything about this?

Double standards b/w nurses and police officers
Well I am so glad you have never been faced with that situation. Unfortunately, so of us have not been so lucky.

Apparently you never worked in an ER. There is a bunch of crazy out there.

The Pros and Cons of Retaking Classes
I had to retake OB because the professors were worthless. Out of 80 students, 66 failed. They failed because their notes/lectures in class were different from the book, and never agreed with each other. We did not know how to answer the tests, since there are always 2 right answers in the choices. It was so bad, that when we took the class over again in the Spring semester, they refused to let us have recording device in the class for lectures to prove it. Something never denied in any other class. We would show them in our notes. Everyone had the same thing, they stilled denied. This is why I don't trust nursing professors and I am fighting tooth and nail not to get my BSN. I will never again support a system that purposely fails people so they can have a power trip. This school was Indiana State University.
