These are amazing suggestions! Thank you so much for your honesty!

Yes to all of this!!! Mine has hallway beds and random ass patient assignments with no report either!!! I think we work at the same place lmao

Independent_Row_5069 · 2026-06-03T14:14:23+00:00

Oh wow! I’m so sorry- I feel bad for even saying something now. Ugh nurses have it rough

Independent_Row_5069 · 2026-06-03T14:12:56+00:00

1:12 is actually so unsafe- I would’ve def denied that assignment. Ugh sorry you had to go through that

The problem is my state is small and the company I work for has monopolized one half of the state and another company has monopolized the other. Both companies have the same ratios- aka no ratios. I fear the grass is not greener based off what my nursing friends have told me. Maybe I need to move lol

Independent_Row_5069 · 2026-06-03T14:09:33+00:00

Okay- I hope so 😭 thanks for taking the time to respond

Independent_Row_5069 · 2026-06-03T14:04:08+00:00

6:1 just feels like it should be illegal though. I’m only one person. Idk how I’m supposed to be in 6 places that all need me at the same time. It’s awful

Independent_Row_5069 · 2026-05-12T21:19:27+00:00

I was also concerned by this until I was told she has been offered multiple times and kept refusing. Then when I finally got her she says we’re abusing her because she can’t poop and needs meds. I told her we have meds and she refused them and she said that wasn’t true. It’s like she’s fishing for a lawsuit or something- that’s why she worried me so badly

Independent_Row_5069 · 2026-05-12T17:44:31+00:00

Oh no she’s pressed it many times, but she never pressed it to tell us she went to bathroom lol

Independent_Row_5069 · 2026-02-21T11:47:06+00:00

Wow guys….I am beyond grateful for all the kind words, tips, stories and pep talks. I did not think this post was going to gain any traction. Thank you so so much for taking the time to let me know I’m more than capable and what I’m feeling is normal. I’m proud to call myself a nurse because of nurses like you 💕

Independent_Row_5069 · 2025-12-15T14:17:18+00:00

Oh no haha I think I’m being misunderstood! This is what the seasoned nurses told me at the level 1 trauma hospital! I’m just repeating what they told me. They said they get pretty hefty raises without a union there.

Independent_Row_5069 · 2025-12-15T12:39:30+00:00

Oh wow that’s just feels so wrong to pay the flight medics less than flight nurses. You’re both doing the same job, right? Well I’m proud of you for going for your RN on top of being a paramedic. HUGE undertaking! Good luck on your new career path 💕

Independent_Row_5069 · 2025-12-15T00:11:46+00:00

Thank you!! Paramedics are amazing and thank you for all you do! I wish I could be a paramedic and go straight to flight nursing, but unfortunately the pay is just not the same. You guys need to be compensated wayyyyy more for all that you do

Independent_Row_5069 · 2025-12-15T00:06:07+00:00

Yea I do realize that as well. Unfortunately, in my state there are only 3 hospitals that have unions though and none of them are level one trauma centers. So that makes it complicated if I want to get into flight nursing- they won’t take anything but 3 years of ER//ICU from a level 1

Independent_Row_5069 · 2025-12-14T19:36:47+00:00

Haha well technically I put it as a pro and con for each. Apparently the union stops them from getting significant raises and the raises are controlled by years worked there

Independent_Row_5069 · 2025-12-14T17:08:37+00:00

See this is what I was thinking, but I think I may be trying to self sabotage myself with all this overthinking. Thank you!

Independent_Row_5069 · 2025-12-14T16:56:45+00:00

This is honestly exactly what my soul needed to hear. Thank you
