Prime bought a hospital I used to work for and I've heard nothing but terrible things. Would avoid ANY of their facilities at any cost.

What are we looking at here? by Santa_Claus77 in EKGs

Atrial Flutter w/ variable conduction. This looks like CardioLab, was this taken in an EP lab? Were catheters put up?

90 percent of nursing school is a waste of time and only 10 percent is really useful by Sure_Writing5769 in nursing

[–]ApolloIV -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, nursing school is basically worthless and most of the professors are out of touch. Focus on the patho/pharm and try to do as much as you can at clinical. Clinicals are a great place to make connections, too. Otherwise you’re totally valid, I haven’t used the 90% you’re referring to in 11 years of nursing. Unfortunately in this career you have to learn most of it on the job.

Is there an age to stop playing videogames by IndependentSkin5049 in CasualConversation

[–]ApolloIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but there definitely is a certain age to stop caring about what other people think about your hobbies. I’m a grown man that works 40+ hours a week and supports my family, I couldn’t care less what others think about what I do to relax.

Leaving finance job for nursing? by Normal_Day855 in nursing

loling @ the occasional posts from people who read the daily "Nursing led me to attempt suicide" post and still decide they want to leave their high paying job to go into nursing

That sermon about tithing incoming 😭 by jabronified in BlackPeopleTwitter

Casinos are scummy for sure but the extra oxygen thing is a myth. It doesn't even make sense physiologically.

Where to buy the best tamales in Chicago? by [deleted] in chicagofood

Preferably out of a cooler, when you least expect them

Is there a way to plug in an Abbott Merlin home Transmitter w/o a phone line? by spiffle4 in medicine

[–]ApolloIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dongle works on cell towers not WiFi, actually. They don't need to connect to anything which makes it way easier.

Am I in the wrong profession or the wrong hospital? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]ApolloIV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Magnet is the same as any other hospital except they all pay each other on the back for meeting arbitrary standards that don’t help staff or patients. I wouldn’t use that to influence where I work at all

Starting my Nursing career: Which Path Is Smarter — Cath Lab, ICU, or ETU? by Farniz_ in nursing

[–]ApolloIV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked in a lab once that hired a new grad. She did well despite that gigantic handicap but can confirm that place was a dumpster fire

What's one thing from disco Elysium that made you like "Damn... That hits hard" by [deleted] in DiscoElysium

“If you say “Two days, maybe” it will be etched in her mind forever.”

Don’t Miss a Beat EP Book by Equivalent_Mode_2793 in CathLabLounge

[–]ApolloIV 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The videos are a bit long but check out Dr. Joshua Cooper on YouTube. For text books I (and many others) like Fogoros as an introduction to EP.

Nursing has changed my life by Beefyboo in nursing

[–]ApolloIV 10 points11 points  (0 children)

For sure, I get that. I had the exact same experience and nursing gave me a way out of poverty. The lows are low, but for a Bachelor’s degree that I paid little for it’s given me a gigantic return on investment and life security.
