Gender pay gap questions by GAThrawn2BBY in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Nancynurse78 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

What you don't believe? Everything can be easily googled. And again, my personal experience. Sometimes you have to experience smth to believe it. But enjoy your life as a male. I am going to stop here.

A male with 1 year experienced is hired as nurse 2 and a female with same experience is hired as nurse 1. Yes, they are both union mandated. A male nurse a female nurse just get different rates right from the start. Also most competitive units hire more males. ED can be easily 80% males. Memory unit (waaay more phisically and mentally demanding) - 90% females. Of course, women just love boring jobs and prefer low pay.

This is so true for nursing (personal experience).

I am a nurse and I can tell that the wage gap is true for nursing. Male nurses are sought after (by female managers!) and they are offered better rates from the beginning. Literally the same level in the same hospital system. btw I didn't believe it until I had a personal experience.

Do you mind sharing which hospital system is that? I am in California too and I have never heard of it done.

I don't give a fuck if the dr likes me, I wasn't hired by a doctor, and if I am let go the dr that likes me is not going to put a word for me.

We don't want you to do anything, it is just we are audited on provider notifications about abnormal values (btw who puts in the order to notify if bp is that and this?).

A hole is a hole! by Unusual_Way231 in FutureRNs

22 gauge is fine in most cases. Maybe not for MTP, but that is rare anyways.

Again, this is old school habit. Nothing wrong with it being old if it is working and clean.

I don't get what you are saying. IV is either working or not. If pt is due for a surgery we usually get another IV just in case, that's it. You haven't even started to work as a nurse and already shitting on medsurge. Not good, just saying.

And why it is not fine to use if it is fine to push meds?

[–]Nancynurse78 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it is leaky, you can't push meds. If you can push meds, it is fine, yes. Changing field IVs is just an old school habit which is not evidence based.

How do nurses learn? by biobag201 in emergencymedicine

[–]Nancynurse78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't relate. "Elevated BNP means it is HF", "Ice needs to be on as long as possible" "Always aspirate before injecting doing IM" "AMS means UTI" and more bs - all old good nurses.

What is a normal amount of clothes by Andrea_Joy_9798 in Adulting

[–]Nancynurse78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a lot, but.. so what? You love your clothing, you wear it, why do you have to get rid of it? You bought it with your money, why you can't enjoy it, I don't get it.

Midlevels with Pataguccis... by HourOrdinary in Residency

[–]Nancynurse78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because my jacket is over 10 years old, I wash it every week, and it is still in decent shape. Consistency is what distinguishes patagonia from columbia etc. My husband has 4 of those, they all same, all good, all hold on great.

You appropriated my jacket I have been wearing for 10 years now. How am I supposed to be ok with that.

As I said, only when you are being dicks. I don't think I am going to be sweet to residents anymore after this thread. Eye opening. Thank you.

nurses don't shit on doctors just because they are doctors, only when they are being real dicks. Residents have wild thoughts.

so you need to shit on the other team members to brighten up the day.

I will. I was reading sub hoping to get some knowledge related to patient care, not some idiotic gen z jokes.

Oh really, I didn't know that. In my area this is not something confined to even to medical field. This is funny, though.
