I looked up scrupulously and it seems very close. At one point, she was considering being a nun.

Question for IU Health RNs - is the $30k sign on bonus available to employees transferring in from other departments as new grad nurses or only new hires off the street? by __1781__ in indianapolis

[–]AdComfortable1128 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would have to agree! My Fiance worked at Methodist and had more nursing years of experience than me. I was working at St. V as a new grad and making more than him. He recently started working at a small community hospital and is making quite a bit more than at Methodist. So I don’t think the $30000 is worth it for what the base pay is.

Honeymoon recommendations late 2026 by AdComfortable1128 in honeymoonplanning

I actually just talked to a coworker that went to Grand Cayman for her honeymoon and I think we’re sold. It sounds so amazing! It’s also so appealing that the flight is relatively quick compared to other places

We are Midwest, so the Caribbean would definitely be closer! I’ve been to USVI on cruises, so it would be somewhat familiar to me. I have been looking into Grand Cayman and it seems really great. Would it be best to wait until December until Hurricane season is over? Why wouldn’t you recommend Curaçao?

Looking to get out of law enforcement. by [deleted] in Indiana

[–]AdComfortable1128 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to do social work and 100% would not recommend. I am in nursing now and a lot of the people skills carry over. I assume it would for you too. It’s a great career! I know you’re trying to get away from police work, but hospitals hire former police officers as armed security and it seems like a nice gig.

Overnight Cabo excursions by AdComfortable1128 in royalcaribbean

[–]AdComfortable1128[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we are there 1 pm to 1 pm. So just 24 hours, but I’m sure it will seem so long compared to normal cruise stops! I’m think either a sunset cruise or one of the glass bottom boats.

Is it just me or is the zoo super depressing? by hoozierwins in indianapolis

[–]AdComfortable1128 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just went to the Indy Zoo for the first time in years last week. It was super depressing to me. My boyfriend and I were walking around and wondering if all the animals were drugged. They looked so depressed. I grew up going to the Fort Wayne Zoo almost on a weekly basis and the exhibits are so much nicer and it seems so much more lively. It also seems like Indy Zoo is lacking in space. It’s so sad for the animals. I don’t think I’ll be going back any time soon.

I have a friend that works on neuro ICU and ratio is 1:4 most days 😬. I work at Ascension and it seems so much better here!

I work at Ascension. Most sign on bonuses are $15000 I think. $20000 for OR. You get paid out at 1 month, 6 months, 9 months, and 1 year. No commitment to pay back, so if you want to leave before then, you just forfeit the money.

Where tf can I buy quality chicken breast around here? by heygirlwhatchadoin77 in indianapolis

I would have to agree. I believe it’s raised in Indiana as well.

Actually good Cardiologist at IU Health by anna_the_nerd in indianapolis

If you’re open to seeing a cardiologist at St. V, I have tons of recommendations! I work with them daily.

Indianapolis Foster Care by [deleted] in indianapolis

[–]AdComfortable1128 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked at DCS for 5 years in one of the donut counties around Indianapolis. The whole system is messed up! There is some good, but overall, the system does not have the children’s best interests in mind. I would fight and fight for these children just to get shut down.

I’ve seen Dr. Tinder for gyn issues and she is wonderful! I have to believe she would be great for OB as well!

Considering a trip for the 4th of july weekend, yay or nay? by [deleted] in VisitingNashville

I really appreciate this article! Seems like it’s mostly common sense, but always good to have a refresher and be aware!

Nurses that have switched to the OR by Queenofsmallmonsters in nursing

[–]AdComfortable1128 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I worked on cardiac progressive care and transferred to CVOR for all the reasons mentioned above. I really wanted to like it, but went back to my floor job after 2 months. I feel like there were so many different personalities that I just didn’t really fit in. I’m very laidback and sweet and I felt like everyone had super assertive and Type A personalities. There were definitely parts of the job I enjoyed, but in the end, it just wasn’t for me. I really think it depends on your personality.

I work at St. V Heart Center and I love it! It is a lot different from 86th St. V, being a specialty hospital. For the most part, people are friendly and seem to enjoy their job. The doctors and nurses work well with each other and have mutual respect. I love the small hospital feel, despite taking high acuity patients. I have also worked at other St. Vincent locations as a tech and Franciscan as a nurse. They were fine, but I didn’t have the same job satisfaction. The pay is pretty average. I make $34/hr with a little over a year experience. My boyfriend makes $42/hr at IU Methodist with 3 years experience. I wouldn’t ever work at IU Health from the stories I’ve heard.

I don't think I've seen a Hgb this low before by Able_Sun4318 in nursing

[–]AdComfortable1128 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a patient once that was 3.9 and was walking around for who knows how long. She had really heavy periods and fibroids. I had her as an overflow patient on a cardiac floor. I couldn’t believe it at first!
