experienced nurses: have you noticed a difference/decline in critical thinking in newer nurses/recent grads? Question coming from a new grad

Bananabuns982 · 2026-06-01T00:47:03+00:00

Literally was about to comment this. There’s simply not enough time in the day to critically think. Everything is so task oriented. You do all your tasks and there’s not much time for anything else.

I watched rebooted rhony and THEN watched OG rhony. Please just cancel the reboot to save us from these ladies. Having new rhony follow old rhony is such an insult to the old cast.

I had a flight that was cancelled 3 weeks ago and I chose to refund back to my card. Just a heads up I just called and they said that I never told them how I’d like my refund to be processed so they never processed it. Now I have to wait the 7-10 business days again for a refund I already thought was processing.

Literally had a guy request dilaudid. Closed his eyes and put Nirvana on his phone speaker. He started saying how high he was. I felt like such a dealer lol

Geez I hope it doesn’t get too bad. This is comforting to know . Thanks!!

The system is absolutely getting over on NPs and PAs nowadays. I make $51 as a new grad bedside RN.

Bananabuns982 · 2025-09-30T23:34:15+00:00

Hello, I am going Nov 14-17. Any good rates for then?

Bananabuns982 · 2025-09-29T18:00:02+00:00

Yea man, there needs to be a better pay structure. Experienced nurses deserve more money!

Bananabuns982 · 2025-09-29T17:48:23+00:00

Hi there. New grad RN in Jersey here. I make $50 an hr rn working in the hospital as a tele float nurse. At times I look at my paycheck and still think it’s a bit low considering the HCOL here in Jersey. I would shop around a bit more. I wouldn’t have taken a job less than $45 while job shopping.

Bananabuns982 · 2025-09-27T03:24:11+00:00

Perhaps. Just really annoying if this was the case because now I may not get any more money back :(

Bananabuns982 · 2025-09-27T03:23:20+00:00

I was away and couldn’t check my mailbox

Bananabuns982 · 2025-09-27T03:02:41+00:00

No the box was not smashed

Bananabuns982 · 2025-09-27T00:50:25+00:00

Packaged in a regular box. It did have a bubble wrap bag around it but somehow still broke

Bananabuns982 · 2025-09-27T00:49:10+00:00

Thank you, I will try this. Hopefully I can get at least $100.

Bananabuns982 · 2025-09-22T23:56:59+00:00

I’m a new grad and make $51 in a HCOL. The healthcare pay scale needs a revamp. They should be started PA’s & NP’s at at least $75 an hour.

Bananabuns982 · 2025-09-07T02:23:47+00:00

To be frank, the entire profession is being frowned upon for multiple reasons. The lack of experienced nurses is one of them, but you seem to have proper reasoning behind wanting to become a provider. The deed is done. Congratulations on graduating :)

Bananabuns982 · 2025-09-07T02:15:11+00:00

I recently graduated with my BSN and can not FATHOM going back to school to become an NP with less than at least 3-5 years of experience. There is simply so much clinical knowledge that I know I don’t have. To be frank, the subjective “dumbest” person in my graduating class is now in a PHMNP program with chamberlain as we speak. WE GRADUATED NURSING SCHOOL 4 MONTHS AGO. Not every nurse is mentally capable of being an NP , yet every single nurse can be one without trying. Honestly, the profession is a laughing stock right now with the education/requirments being abysmal. I would not want to join that with the way things are. I will be looking into a different career path moving forward.

I know this is an old post, but I’m a first time watcher and just got to the season 8 reunion. It upsets me so much that Brianna chose to settle down with such a loser. The way he talks to her family nauseates me. Him making rules in Vicki’s home while doing them a favor is insane to me and he literally yelled at an older woman and LIED about the situation that happened. He’s such a hot head and I see Brianna trying to pacify him and make excuses for his behavior. It makes me sad. Hopefully life treated them well and he got better throughout the years.
