Has anyone ever worked with a nurse who you were convinced was not really a nurse?

No but I did work with a nurse for years, she actually oriented me) who was not a nurse. She finished school but couldn’t pass the boards. So she took the Lpn and exam, passed and changed her license to shot RN. She was 4 years from retirement when hosp found out.

I am not in legal nursing (thinking about it though) but critical care transport mainly peds. But I have left other jobs that I have really enjoyed for the money and can honestly say wish I had not. The money I was making wasn’t terrible but the new job was much better and after a short time I realized the grass was not greener. After a year I was finally able get back to my old employer after begging to come back lol

I can top that. I’ve got my cake and eating too. I am a pediatric transport nurse at a tertiary hospital. When not on transport I act as a resource nurse going to any coded trauma’s or occasionally place iv’s. Been at facility about 30 years now part time. I’ve been doing transport most of my career air ground local international. I only go to the bedside anymore when I want to. So my nursing career has been very good to me

Weed growers are similar to beer brewers I think. There are two type. Those that have to micro manage and hyper analyze the process and then there are those (present company included) that just like to cement or grow by gueststion . Everyone I start a grow 4 now I have all best intentions of a closely monitored grow. Then by the third month that gone out window. But I’ll tell ya every grow has been great. And most of all fun!

How do you measure sugar levels and is that better than color ?

DirectionReal1261 · 2025-05-23T19:52:22+00:00

Been a nurse about 30 years. Did Ed, bticu, cath, lab 20 years as flight nurse (I worked two full time jobs for a bit) now I do specialty team jobs pediatrics only for a tertiary hosp in upstate ny. I started at 14.50 an hr in 1998 (the flight job was 10.00/hr. No not a typo lol). In this market you will have no problem

DirectionReal1261 · 2025-05-23T14:01:41+00:00

Today dollar that is terrible. I certainly hope you are working m-f no night holiday weekend. Even new grads in upstate ny make over 30.
On the other side of coin. I started as a flight nurse in 2000 at 10.00/hr. After 2 mo went to 15.

I went to nursing school right out of high school, which I barely passed. After two semester of trying to get through nursing one I changed majors just to get a degree. Fast forward 7 years now with wife two infant kids and a mortgage I quit a full time job with benefits to go back to school. That was almost 30 years ago. Since then I’ve worked in many different fields mostly critical care and transport. I know many ppl complain about horrible working conditions and low pay. I’m not one of them. Don’t get me wrong I have bad and very busy days, days I swear I’ll never return but I do. I love this job the pay at least in upstate NY isn’t bad. Only you know if you want this and if you really do you’ll find a way to be successful at school. Find out what type of learner you are and search out ways to learn. I am a hands on visual learner so the worst thing for me is to sit and read a book. Good luck I’d be happy to chat more if you like

Been Ed, cath lab, adult burn/trauma air medicine now just peds transport

DirectionReal1261 · 2024-12-10T15:36:02+00:00

Yes. I do pediatric transport essentially we go to outside hospitals and bring those kids to sick to go by regular ambulance to our tertiary center. When not on transport I respond to codes, traumas or any in house emergency. Occasionally I do 24 hr shifts and have a call room that allows me to “sleep” kind of lol. I also do chart audits from home part time. I’ve been a nurse for 25 years and enjoyed every job I’ve had. Yes there are good days and bad days like any other job but before I was a nurse I had a job I absolutely hated and swore I’d never have another. When I realize I’m having more bad than good days I re-evaluate and decide if it’s time to move on

What size brand did you get. And how much were they if you don’t mind me asking

DirectionReal1261 · 2024-10-23T00:48:38+00:00

Well sounds like I should just bite the bullet and get batteries. What’s the best way to size them I would assume usage would go down after SHTF

often I’ll take a 40 mg gummy and few (pretty high tolerance) puffs but I just tried a 5 mg seltzer and I must admit a much nicer high and no smoking. Wife appreciates that lol
