  1. Do you overspend on luxury items as a nurse?

    Erythropoiesis replied to Neywel120's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. This. Any time I have extra money I try and get away to do something cool. Last weekend I drove just an hour out to a hiking trail with a friend, only money spent was on a tank of gas and some...

  2. Do you overspend on luxury items as a nurse?

    Erythropoiesis replied to Neywel120's topic in General Nursing

    When I become a nurse my main focus will be buying a house rather than a car I don't need or fancy purses, shoes, etc. I never was into shopping for non-necessities anyway unless it is a rare...

  3. Is money everything in this profession?

    Erythropoiesis replied to WhyNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Business is business is business. Im not a nurse yet, but the jobs I hold now are jobs I happen to really enjoy. However, I won't pretend that if all the money in the world disappeared tomorrow I...

  4. I can't find my Lithmann Cardio 3 steth!!

    Erythropoiesis replied to Dianna11's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    You definitely should be able to! I went stethoscope shopping not too long ago for school and was deciding between the Littmann Lightweight ($40) and the Littmann Classic II se ($80). Went with the...

  5. I can't find my Lithmann Cardio 3 steth!!

    Erythropoiesis replied to Dianna11's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    No need to spend that much on a replacement stethoscope that is not even lost but in your house somewhere (you probably have looked at it 10 times but it didn't "click". I do this often...) If you...

  6. Fast food vs Dietary aide

    Erythropoiesis replied to Oleacronon's topic in Nursing Career

    You do what you need to do to get you through school. The job you hold while in school really doesn't matter all that much to an employer--they just want to know that you're going to be a competent...

  7. Wages

    Erythropoiesis replied to awall04's topic in Nursing Career

    I empathize with how you feel. For what it's worth, you don't want to start your first job out as a new grad feeling unappreciated from the get-go. I'm not a nurse, I start my program in August but...

  8. Wages

    Erythropoiesis replied to awall04's topic in Nursing Career

    $17 an hour with no benefits is not just too low, it's a slap in the face. I know men who make more than that in the plants with just a high school diploma. If they want a professional they have to...

  9. Wages

    Erythropoiesis replied to awall04's topic in Nursing Career

    I make $11.20 an hour as a nanny, cuddling infants all day long. So...yeah that's a tad too low for an ER

  10. First nurse job 1.5hour commute

    Erythropoiesis replied to GRN005's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm in south Louisiana. There truly is a nursing shortage here. In fact, we come up short with just about everything

  11. First nurse job 1.5hour commute

    Erythropoiesis replied to GRN005's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I nearly panicked when I read that this hospital has laid off 60 nurses. It seems like you already aren't hot about the drive, so why take a job like that and then risk the very REAL possibility that...

  12. Best littmann stethoscope model for Nursing School?

    Erythropoiesis replied to abarreto's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have a classic II se I bought from Amazon for $80 and then had engraved. I haven't started yet but it seems pretty middle of the road in terms of quality. There are models a lot cheaper and models a...

  13. Urine alcohol screen??

    Erythropoiesis replied to candee9909's topic in General Nursing

    Unless you drank yourself completely under the table there is no way that it would show up in your urine 12+ hours

  14. What's The Best Way to Quit My Job

    Erythropoiesis replied to Shortcake_BSn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The points that others have made are important and honestly something I haven't thought about. I'm not working as a nurse and I'm only just about to start nursing school but this is great advice. Look...

  15. Am I a bully?

    Erythropoiesis replied to haron54's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am honestly shocked if that's all that was said, in a wrong tone of voice or otherwise. I really do want to hope that there's a lot more to this story.

  16. Am I a bully?

    Erythropoiesis replied to haron54's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You know darn well you said a whole lot more than "that's too bad" to be written up and

  17. "You're too smart to be a nurse. Be a doctor"

    Erythropoiesis replied to Grier's topic in General Nursing

    Oh god I'm laughing hard right now. Will be using this line! Hmmm the thousands of dollars to shell out in application/admissions/interview expenses ALONE doesn't appeal to me, much less the...

  18. Nurse in a bar... Should you help?

    Erythropoiesis replied to crc2015's topic in General Students

    It is accepted to only rely on compressions until help arrives. I just renewed my CPR last week so this is fresh in my head. The instructor said if the person you are working on is your parent,...

  19. 10 Survival Tips for the Highly Sensitive Nurse

    Erythropoiesis replied to CryandNurseOn's topic in General Nursing

    I know you can "just" take pills for this because I do get overstimulated easily, since early childhood, and even a cup of calming tea or a work out after work does wonders for me. I lost my insurance...

  20. 10 Survival Tips for the Highly Sensitive Nurse

    Erythropoiesis replied to CryandNurseOn's topic in General Nursing

    Being "highly sensitive" isn't something anyone can just turn off without medication. Its not a lifestyle choice, it's an actual condition. It's a fancy term for people who are easily

  21. stethoscope frusteration!! help!

    Erythropoiesis replied to Moenine9's topic in General Students

    I think after a certain amount of time the tubing starts to crack/deteriorate and needs to be

  22. EpiPens....who knew?

    Erythropoiesis replied to roser13's topic in Patient Medications

    Does the OP get a complementary margarita with that

  23. Leaving current job after only 5 months

    Erythropoiesis replied to mlang's topic in General Nursing

    Want to add that I usually almost always feel guilty when I quit jobs to go somewhere better but when I thought about it from a business point of view, it got a lot easier to say "An opportunity came...

  24. Leaving current job after only 5 months

    Erythropoiesis replied to mlang's topic in General Nursing

    Um. I'd let all kinds of people down for that kind of a difference in pay/benefits. In a heartbeat. Over text message. Not really over text, but you should definitely go for it and not feel guilty....

  25. Gpa Good Enough

    Erythropoiesis replied to nurse2bguy555's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Depends on the school. At the community college I go to you wouldn't get in. Lowest they took this year was a 3.5. CCs are often more competitive than bigger universities who take more students and...
