  1. new nurse- NP or PA school?

    Mini2544 replied to Reaz's topic in General Nursing

    I absolutely understand what you’re going through. I went though a similar experience when I first started bedside nursing. It just wasn’t for me. School doesn’t prepare you for all the short...

  2. Classism in the Hospital-MD vs. RN

    Mini2544 replied to paramedic-RN's topic in General Nursing

    It’s called production and revenue. Also I’m guessing you or your SJW boyfriend didn’t go to med school for 4 years, another 4 years of residency then another 4 years of fellowship. OH! All...

  3. Medical office-Drama

    Mini2544 replied to aMayaMora's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I would stay until the baby is born (congrats by the way) and then look elsewhere. You can def go back to the ICU or maybe find you a good outpatient surgery center in your area. Either way.....

  4. What city do you work in and how much do you get paid hourly?

    Mini2544 replied to Mortaaaay's topic in General Nursing

    Orlando FL 30.50 an hour 3.25 differential 3-7pm 4.00 7pm-7am differential 4.25 weekends I have a little over 1 year of experience and no bsn

  5. Presidential Executive Order about Kidney Care - July 2019

    Mini2544 replied to traumaRUs's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I think it’s fairly realistic. CKD is a huge problem so it’s nice that the focus is starting to shift towards prevention as well. I like the living donors incentives too. I will be interested to...

  6. Does Being a Nurse Remove Your Constitutional Right to Free Speech? The Carolyn Strom Case.

    Mini2544 replied to steven007's topic in Nursing News

    I highly doubt something so ludicrous would happen in the US. Posting online about things that may reflect on how you take care of pts is questionable but even then.. Americans free speech rights...

  7. Chattanooga Columnist's Controversial Recommendations For Area Nursing Shortage

    Mini2544 replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    A retention bonus is a great idea. The key is getting which ever hospital organization the nurse is working for, to actually make enough headway for someone to want to stay on

  8. First E-Cigarette Ban: Mark a Win for Public Health

    Mini2544 replied to Jill Weberding MPH's topic in Nursing News

    I mean the ban isn’t the issue. The problem is that San Francisco is the same s-hole that has Homeless defecting and shooting drugs up on every corner. But yes, let’s ban e-cigs. Makes a ton of

  9. Open visitation in the ICU

    Mini2544 posted a topic in Critical Care

    Hello my CC nurses and anyone else who would like to share! Quite a large number of hospitals are starting to adopt a more open visitation policy. There is a lot of research that support this for...

  10. #AMAGetOutTheWay: Nurses, Doctors, and Students United

    Mini2544 replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing News

    ?????? Maybe you should go to Washington and sit in front of your state senators office until they listen to you. All great

  11. #AMAGetOutTheWay: Nurses, Doctors, and Students United

    Mini2544 replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing News

    Ah that was just another liberal temper tantrum protest. Medicare for all, and covering illegal immigrants is one of the most insane and irresponsible ideas in today’s political climate. Our...

  12. Taking patients

    Mini2544 replied to meg5's topic in General Nursing

    My suggestion exactly! I have been working as an ICU nurse and recently switched to an outpatient surgery center. It is like heaven compared to working with critical patients in a hospital. The pay...

  13. How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    Mini2544 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I also dont think that people understand Medicare is what it is because people pay into the system for 30,40 plus years. Then like you said, its bare bones at that. How can they say "Medicare for...

  14. Breaking New Grad Contract

    Mini2544 replied to Nursenursexoxo's topic in General Nursing

    I also work for this particular hospital system. Without naming names....it used to be called one thing and now its called another. ? Your contract is pro rated...so you will owe less than the...

  15. Sitting down - New nurse looking for advice

    Mini2544 replied to MgoBlue37's topic in General Nursing

    You said it perfectly! There is more to nursing than bedside. I think outpatient pre op/pacu would be excellent for you, the only issue is that most of those require at least 1 year experience. If...

  16. Bring back our childhood diseases!

    Mini2544 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I would say if you polled most anti vaxxers..they would be ignorant liberals. Good try at a Trump jab

  17. Medication error

    Mini2544 replied to red426's topic in General Nursing

    Hi! I am very sorry this situation happened to you! I think my thoughts mirror the majority here....no the Cardene did not cause this pt to code. I work in an ICU and this patient should have had...

  18. Non productive overtime

    Mini2544 replied to Minn_RN's topic in General Nursing

    We are not allowed to clock in before a certain time, which doesn't give much time to look up any info on pts charts. Lots of nurses get there before, look things up and then clock in. I would never...

  19. lunch break handoffs

    Mini2544 replied to bookel's topic in Critical Care

    I find myself angry at this post..not angry at someone or any one comment just angry that hospitals are so cheap that they can't provide anything to help the nurses out. We just ask our neighbors to...

  20. Politics in the Nursing Work Place: When Conflicts Arise

    Mini2544 replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    Bravo to you for being able to keep your composure. I work in a rather liberal environment (60/40) and I am always open to having conversations about why people feel and think the way they do. I...

  21. Neuro exam, following commands vs mimicking?

    Mini2544 replied to Angelllau's topic in Critical Care

    This is the only answer you need. I usually don't ask patients to squeeze my hand because that can just be a reflex. Otherwise... it's all following

  22. Open visitation in the ICU

    Mini2544 replied to Mini2544's topic in Critical Care

    Thank you everyone for your candor! From the research I have done, about 90% of all ICU's have some kind of visitation policy. Some are more restrictive obviously but at least a little structure....

  23. Leaving tasks for the next shift

    Mini2544 replied to dergs's topic in General Nursing

    That's really nice of you to be so concerned but things happen. If you are able to complete tasks and not leaving them for the next shift that's great but if not than they will have to get over it....

  24. Need input! Whats your experience with critical thinking?

    Mini2544 replied to gromit1084's topic in Critical Care

    As a new grad in ICU... I absolutley love these questions! I tend to ask myself something similiar to this at the beginning of my shift but the way you put it into words flows a bit better. Thanks so...

  25. Interviewing for Trauma Neuro ICU. What questions should I ask them?

    Mini2544 replied to snobel444's topic in Critical Care

    Congrats on the interview! I work as an RN in neuro ICU so I may be of some assistance. To be successful, I think you need to be able to assess a pt neuro status extremely accurate. In our unit, we...
