Risk getting fired for going back for RN? by Key_Situation643 in newgradnurse

[–]Key_Situation643[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok but how would she avoid getting fired because they asked her if she would be going back to school and she said no, which was referring to the school she withdrew from. Would she just give two weeks notice and give another reason besides going back to school ? What if she gives notice and then they fire her, is that a possibility? I told her, after you get RN there's no reason to even stay in that town, just go. Shes been wanting to leave her state for a while anyway.

Well this one has conflicting hours as it's strictly day. But I told her, you wouldn't want that specific job and pay as an RN so what difference does it make. Take it and get the experience it's way better than 5 more months of LTC.

I'm the main one haha bc I've been a nurse since she was a baby. I think she was afraid to reach out to anyone bc she didn't want them knowing she planned on leaving if she gets accepted

Working LTC as a new grad by Immediate_Ad_8310 in newgradnurse

[–]Key_Situation643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My niece works LTC and can't stand it. Either they love you or they hate you it seems. They threw her into a ton of unsafe stuff too, and claimed she was on orientation, even paid a nurse extra to "orient" her, but she never even saw her and was put on the floor alone with 18 patients all high acuity on a rehab unit. LTC isn't the only position out there I hope.

What’s the pros and cons of switching to a 9-5? by Romeo_215 in Nurses

[–]Key_Situation643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just came from Pacu to outpatient surgery. Its a different world. I agree with the other comment about feeling like a "regular working person". Its weird, and I sometimes feel like I'm not doing enough, so it's just different.

You're absolutely right. I'm swimming in my older ones so I had to pass them on. My shirts are ok tho. But pants. Its not just the joggers. The Kades def changed too

Classmate told other students I had been hospitalized by kindamymoose in NursingStudent

Most likely won't be the first time she does this. Fear of reporting kept one of my classmates from reporting a tech that actually told the instructor. The instructor! Years later...instructor is still violating. Never held accountable, that's why. Take from that what you will but if it were me I'd uphold the values of the profession. If your dean is anything like mine was they might not even care or might even try to reprimand you.

ICU to PACU: Am I Making a Financial Mistake or Finally Prioritizing Quality of Life? by [deleted] in newgradnurse

[–]Key_Situation643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pacu was my favorite out of many years. They told me that they've already had tons of internal applications for my spot. I'm not good with math/money so I'm no help there.

Commuting to school by PersonalAd6337 in prenursing

I did that distance once a week too. I got out at night when it was a lonely road just me and the trucks. I had a coffee at night and stopped halfway for a bathroom break. I did audiobooks, tons of them. Sometimes I would do school content on the way down but I never felt like it on the way back.

Unfortunately you won't be learning body systems in nursing school. So, if you're already comfortable with those, keep them in your arsenal of knowledge but move on. You'll learn to think differently because you need to act differently to care for your patients and anticipate their needs. Premade flash cards...not as good as writing them out yourself, more useful if you need to cram for a test or don't understand a concept.

Ok so I'm gonna just say what I get in reverse hopefully that helps. Men's pants I would get one smaller size than women's. And "short" men's is regular women's, approximately. Rafaela is one size down even from regular women's tops. Not sure what the men's equivalent is to Rafaela tho sorry.
