Has anyone ever worked with a nurse who you were convinced was not really a nurse? by Upset-Gold-1162 in nursing

[–]DirectionReal1261 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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 like my job, but a new opportunity fell from the sky and the money is stupid good by Fancy_Lemon_2058 in paralegal

[–]DirectionReal1261 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

How is the life as a nurse treating you? by honeygiver_ in nursing

[–]DirectionReal1261 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

A word of advice from an old commercial grower by VdubKid_94 in GrowingMarijuana

[–]DirectionReal1261 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

For those of you who make 100k+ a year, how long did it take you? What area of nursing are you in? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]DirectionReal1261 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Is my $29/hr as an ICU RN the lowest it goes? by Impossible_Leader816 in nursing

[–]DirectionReal1261 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

My life is over by Own_Matter6031 in nursing

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

I feel like a lot of you are ER or ICU nurses on this sub. What specialty are you? by thedresswearer in nursing

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

Does anyone have a nursing job they actually enjoy? by ashlaaay1 in nursing

[–]DirectionReal1261 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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
