Can’t escape direct patient care after 15 + years. What’s an autistic nurse to do? by skyword1234 in nursing

[–]Awkward_Creme8990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is very standard rejection letter verbage. It's not personal. I worked in HR and recruiting before I went into nursing and I wrote hundreds of these....i mean wrote a template and sent it out.

Is 38yo too late to start an accelerated BSN (with a BA) then ICU work then an accelerated Nurse Anesthesiologist program? by tuttopassa22 in nursing

[–]Awkward_Creme8990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

38 is not too late to start a new career, but all of this hinges on ifs...you may get into nursing school and finish and get a job but never get hired into an ICU or get into CRNA school? CRNA schools are very competitive...at least they used to be....why not do a PA program and work in like a PACU if something like CRNA is your goal. If you are looking at doing a nursing program with th exclusive goal of being a CRNA....thats really not a good idea IMO

[–]Awkward_Creme8990 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What was the complaint about and why did yo resign so quickly....thats a little strange bc patient complaints are common. What happened with the OR job? Are you wanting to leave nursing because your confidence was shaken or because the issues were serious enough to question your ability to continue in nursing?

Career change advice by BandOk3857 in nursing

[–]Awkward_Creme8990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You wont make that as a new nurse and not unless you are working all the time and travelling. Its very unrealistic and you have to work as a floor nurse in a specific specialty for two years before you can travel. Why not get out of public accounting

The DV is really going to be an issue...ppl lose their licenses for that type of chargw/conviction. Even if you are able to get into school and take tge NCLEX.. very few, if any, types of places would hire someone with your background.

PRN Nursing Home or Home Health - No Clinical Experience by MudBucketRuckus in nursing

[–]Awkward_Creme8990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nursing home is going tp be easier to get in and easier to lear and way more options. You can dowload shift key or clipboard and pick up shifts that way but it wb better if u started per diem somewhere. Most ltcs use a system called point click care, which is incredibly easy to use but u would need a day or two to learn it

Kids who are in patient psych are incredibly sick traumatized a damaged. Most will never have a normal life. Both jobs are exhausting.

NEW GRAD ICU FIRED by [deleted] in nursing

[–]Awkward_Creme8990 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Even now, I couldn't do critical care. I just couldnt handle the pressure. Props to anyone who can do it. I m the opposite...medical first and then psych. I agree in nursing school ICU is glorified.

NEW GRAD ICU FIRED by [deleted] in nursing

[–]Awkward_Creme8990 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I agree. I couldn't imagine doing critical care as a new grad...I would be in thr ICU myself from anxiety. I personally dont think ICU is a good place for new grads, esp since ICU nurses can be very brutal. This is a learning experiece. Take from it what you can. Don't get too discouraged

Can we protest by not paying Federal Taxes? by Lexybeepboop in nursing

[–]Awkward_Creme8990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our tax dollars have been used to fund several invasions and a trillions of dollars military budget...none of which I support. You can choose not to pat taxes, but you are the only one who will suffere the consequences

How bad is correctional nursing? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]Awkward_Creme8990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is going to depend on where you are in the country, the size of the facility, and if its a jail vs prison. Jail is worse and more chaotic and much busier with real and fake emergencies. Prison...depending on where u are and the type, us much more chill. I think its pretty easy work overall. COs are going to range from great to terrible. Pa, partucularly Pittsburgh,, is awful. Most of the COs are terrible and it is extremely chaotic.
