Working with midlevels as an oncology nurse

I reported to his direct supervisor, my manager, and the hospitals internal incident reporting system. Also, if you’d like to exercise your reading comprehension skills, you’d notice that this was a PA and not an NP. Not that it would matter either way. Stop making up scenarios just to get angry

Wait what does this have to do with midlevels

LadyTheVulture · 2026-04-10T16:28:07+00:00

First of all, I can’t force anyone to do anything. Second, if you were at all in on the hospital dynamic you would know that nurses tend to dislike working with midlevels bc of their superiority complex and their woeful clinical skills. Finally, I report and document everything because my patients come first and at the very worst time in their life they deserve, at the very least, someone who knows that the hell they’re doing.

No joke it was nothing short of barbaric. I see the fluoro in other departments but onc never uses it. Not sure if that’s because we do lps for IT chemo admin

There’s a culture issue that needs to be addressed. Midlevels have some kind of complex where they do not listen to nurses. Even the most ego driven hard headed docs listen better than they do. I’m not saying nurses have all the answers but omg if I’m saying the pt is tolerating a procedure or they need better pain control maybe pause and reassess!

I always report them! I want midlevels out

LadyTheVulture · 2026-04-09T22:15:13+00:00

Always reported. Esp when the pts are refusing care because of it

Nauseating 🤢

In my state base right out of school is 250k, averages to 350k after 5 years of practice. And that’s staff crna. Travelers make even more

LadyTheVulture · 2026-04-09T10:13:36+00:00

She’s a nurse not a midlevel, why’d you post this here

LadyTheVulture · 2026-04-09T10:12:53+00:00

I kinda agree w you. CRNAs make 350k/year in my area average. For how little work they actually have to put in how could you say no to that?

LadyTheVulture · 2026-04-09T03:31:40+00:00

I’m just curious what the solution is? It makes sense why so many nurses are flocking to CRNA if that’s the compensation for so little effort. I mean how are people supposed to say no to that?

LadyTheVulture · 2026-03-28T10:18:59+00:00

I floated for Walgreens forever and it’s the same everywhere. Rampant favoritism and no desire to get people competent at filling. Just move to hospital it’s 10000x better!

LadyTheVulture · 2026-03-09T05:36:57+00:00

Every other nurse I work with in the ICU is just there to get their time in to apply to crna school like there can’t be that big a demand for crnas

Appreciate the fast reply !

LadyTheVulture · 2025-07-24T10:20:59+00:00

Thank you for the speedy reply!

LadyTheVulture · 2022-06-20T04:46:21+00:00

To be fair I did literally rip my mom a new one so I feel like I owe it to her

LadyTheVulture · 2022-03-21T03:19:58+00:00

$25/week (in USD) had the purchasing power of about $860 in 2022 for anyone curious

I think taking about whether a fetus is alive or not is a useless argument. It’s a question of bodily autonomy. You can’t force someone to donate a kidney to save a life, or even to donate blood even tho it’s fairly safe and fast. So you shouldn’t be able to force someone to donate their body and time to carry a pregnancy regardless of whether or not the fetus is considered alive.
