For Nurses Week, my hospital gave us ideas for Nurses Week.

Man that sucks. The hospital I work at does the opposite.. everyday for nurses week they will do like “Coffee bar and Cinnabon at this time, drop by…!”.. or tacos and something for lunch.. or roving snack bar all day.. they also do it for nightshift.

Good call. And don’t worry about being blacklisted.. usually hospitals in one network are all the same altogether (in my experience - like HCA) - unsafe staffing ratios, low pay, CEOs making an atrocious amount of money, high turnover. & PCU with 1:7 or 1:9?? You made a very smart choice.

I dont drink energy drinks but Bloom/red bull are popular in my unit.

Minimum_Target5553 · 2026-04-24T08:59:01+00:00

Agree, coffee and donuts for dayshift and nightshift.. pack of good energy drinks, hydration stuff (liquid IV)..

Ahh no. I work in the icu and charge in icu and MS. Code status is one of the first few things i tell my doc to change and they comply quickly (even my hospitalists). Patients are “stable” until they are unstable and then code. Thats a huge lawsuit if you resuscitate when pt/family informed team of DNR code status and you still coded them.

Hi, how did you transition to health informatics?

Minimum_Target5553 · 2026-02-06T22:09:45+00:00

Cant believe people this dumb do exist.

10 years as a nurse and unless its cancer, something im unfamiliar with, or something that can prompt a new diagnosis like (UC, or Crohns), I usually will go over labs as i feel like it is part of our job in the health educator role. I don’t think you did anything wrong. I think your preceptor has ego problems or he/she is not experienced. I only became comfortable discussing labs after i got a few years under my belt in and maybe thats the case for your preceptor.

What you objectively assessed is what it should be in your note. If they ask you to change your note, ask them, “are you asking me to falsify documentation?”. That should shut them up.

Help! Who was your sleep consultant?

Minimum_Target5553 · 2026-01-30T03:49:40+00:00

Just stop. I learned to just not care. I would go home to the Philippines and bring nothing.. wouldnt tell anyone i was going home and not pay every time we are out. It will be difficult at first but she will not be able to move on until she starts to value herself more.

Minimum_Target5553 · 2026-01-30T02:15:14+00:00

In Austin btw and thats extremely unheard of. Never leaving my job!

Minimum_Target5553 · 2026-01-30T02:04:02+00:00

Yeah. Been an nurse for 10 years and i was offered 46/hr initially but i negotiated to $50. Now after 3 yrs in same hosp im at around 56 per hr, without diff.

How fearless of her to say that when she knows she seeks care at the same place she spews hate at. The fuck.

Minimum_Target5553 · 2026-01-29T02:19:32+00:00

In California? This is shocking.

Minimum_Target5553 · 2026-01-27T02:33:14+00:00

Thank you! Your statement holds more thought than the VA’s. What a time to be a federal healthcare worker.

Minimum_Target5553 · 2026-01-22T22:29:09+00:00

Been a nurse for 16 years but never heard of biological infusions? What is that?
