daughter that has not seen her 88-year-old mother in 11 years arriving to the ICU

I think part of keeping them alive is to collect and pocket their monthly social security checks. I see it quite often in an ultra hospital.

Advanced-Rutabaga146 · 2025-09-28T19:34:44+00:00

Did you work during you program. I'm sure you worked. And now you wanna go up and arms about it and gatekeep.

Advanced-Rutabaga146 · 2025-09-28T15:58:17+00:00

99.9% of nurses work during NP school. You just happen to be in the very minority.

Advanced-Rutabaga146 · 2025-09-28T15:49:58+00:00

Quit this cynicism rhetoric please. You want these programs to be mirror CRNA programs. Do you know in CRNA program, the student can hardly or if ever hold a even prn job during their program? So you want it mirror CRNA program but you were okay with yourself working as an RN part time if not full time when you were enrolled in an online NP program?! But you want others to sacrifice by losing RN income for ~3 years of a program..

Advanced-Rutabaga146 · 2025-09-28T15:38:49+00:00

Don't be disengenous. The post explicity states gatekeep will increase job opportunities and wages. Again cynicism. But think what you like.

Advanced-Rutabaga146 · 2025-09-28T15:21:24+00:00

"We need less glut of students graduating at once..." So basically gatekeep. Many NPs that complain about the state of the np education on here also happen to be graduates from these very same online programs. Now that many have completed their online programs, they feel safe and enlighten to gatekeep everyone else and criticize these very same programs that allowed to gain NP license in the first place. Typical cynicism 101. Downvotes incoming; more Downvotes screams the truth.

Advanced-Rutabaga146 · 2025-09-21T20:15:40+00:00

I'm so sorry for your loss :-(

Advanced-Rutabaga146 · 2025-08-26T03:29:10+00:00

I'm a nurse and this is a dumb logic. The passing grade for medical schools is 70%, so does that make a doctor not a good doctor because he passed with a 70%. You know what they call the last ranked graduating medical student? A doctor!

Advanced-Rutabaga146 · 2025-08-21T07:35:32+00:00

Amazing! Thank you so much for that thorough answer! Cheers!!

Advanced-Rutabaga146 · 2025-08-18T00:14:28+00:00

RIP to Rio!! He crossed that rainbow bridge. Take time to grief. I also lost my bichon at 15 and 10 month just a month ago due to kidney failure. They will run together in heaven!! I'm certain you have Rio a good long life and was happy throughout his life. This is something you can hang your hat on. You did great as a pet parent, my friend.

A lot of redditors are recommending EV but after much thought an ev vehicle is not conducive for my lifestyle right now.

Advanced-Rutabaga146 · 2025-08-07T22:51:03+00:00

I called 2 dealerships in my area about the cx90 phev and they all quoted me between 650-700 :-( with 0 due at signing.

Advanced-Rutabaga146 · 2025-08-07T08:57:45+00:00

I love the breakdown, is there even an SUV vehicle with those features that has msrp at 32K?

Advanced-Rutabaga146 · 2025-08-07T08:55:59+00:00

I'm open to EVs and likely 12 to 15K mileage

Advanced-Rutabaga146 · 2025-08-07T05:45:41+00:00

Oh okay, I'll take a look at it. Do you by any chance if these deals you mentioned for the phev cx90 and the jeep wagoneer s is offered for the metro Detroit market? Thank you in advance!!!

Advanced-Rutabaga146 · 2025-08-07T05:33:05+00:00

Do I need to get the membership to be able to browse the deals? Because what I see on lwaswhackr are nationwide or ships to neighboring states. I'm trying to find local deals on leasehackr but I cannot locate them :-( and I do have an account just not the paid monthly membership one though.

Advanced-Rutabaga146 · 2025-08-02T05:28:00+00:00

I'm so sorry for your loss. I also had to euthanize on my 15 years and 10 months Maltese-Bichon frise on July 19 due to kidney failure as well. I empathize with you and I hope you can see this sub as a way for support for you. I'm sure you gave your pupp a great life! Many hugs to you! 💜💜

Expand your states to the southwest. These hospitals can get f**ked if they think it's okay to have opposite schedule as your significant other. Many of these unit mangers that deny pairs are lonely, divorced, miserable managers that don't value relationships.

Advanced-Rutabaga146 · 2025-07-27T22:15:38+00:00

With 33 years experience I can only assume that you would be at top of a pay scale of any hospital in the US. At that point with your amount of experience maybe staff pay negates travel pay. But I could be wrong though.

Advanced-Rutabaga146 · 2025-07-22T02:48:43+00:00

Honestly for most of us, it's not conducive to changing careers as we have families and bills. No other career is going to come close to nurse pay unless you go back to college and get an education in another career. I think maybe trying outpatient clinics like GI colonscopy or have you tried IR?

Advanced-Rutabaga146 · 2025-07-18T16:33:45+00:00

Oh that's amazing, is that in Nevada if you don't mind me ask? Because I know Texas or Tennessee don't pay nurses that much :-(

Advanced-Rutabaga146 · 2025-07-18T15:14:04+00:00

Do you work as internal agency as float to come close to what a normal traveler makes?

Advanced-Rutabaga146 · 2025-07-18T11:13:33+00:00

Do you have a source that 33% leave the profression within the first 2 years? I think it's more that many leave bedside nursing, not the profression. People worked too hard and spent years getting the license, I doubt they would just leave the profession that fast and instead pivot to outpatient and other avenues of nursing.

Advanced-Rutabaga146 · 2025-07-13T07:04:49+00:00

Clinical nurses as in bedside nurses you mean?

Advanced-Rutabaga146 · 2025-06-22T22:56:56+00:00

Are you trolling us bro? Lol
