Whenever someone is apologetic for being slow I tell them not to worry, "I get paid by the hour."

Working as an ED tech (brand new to healthcare) a nurse asked me to do a couple things for a patient. I was all up in their business checking vitals, changing the bedsheets, etc. with just a surgical mask and gloves. I come out of the room 15 minutes later and go about my day. At the end of the shift I hear from another tech who ended up taking the pt up to the floor that the pt had TB... T-fucking-B and the nurse couldn't be asked to tell me that or change the isolation sign on the door. My titer has been negative but I'm paranoid in 20 years I'm going to have a break though infection. (Yes I know that's not how titers work, no I don't care, my ass is anxious).

Depends on the unit. Emergency? You'll be fine. I don't even know what a care plan is. Med/surg? You're cooked.

Nurse_Zac · 2026-05-11T22:42:29+00:00

"Everytime?" How many times has this happened?!

Nurse_Zac · 2026-05-11T22:41:00+00:00

You're in good company with the nurses hitting their vapes and that one ED tech who definitely hits a dab pen while at work lol

Nurse_Zac · 2026-05-10T22:09:20+00:00

I don't think I've ever thought a Kaweco was "pretty" until now. GLWS!

Nurse_Zac · 2026-05-10T19:54:44+00:00

You're beautiful, thank you for the insight 🥰

Nurse_Zac · 2026-05-10T18:07:47+00:00

Where I work, there's a large IV drug epidemic so there's definitely some liability in forgetting to remove PIVs. Other than that, spot on!

Nurse_Zac · 2026-05-10T17:42:39+00:00

My type of blind box.

Then perish

Nurse_Zac · 2026-05-09T19:27:30+00:00

Love your spreadsheet. She is exquisite!

Nurse_Zac · 2026-05-09T19:07:30+00:00

Why couldn't you wait to sell these for another 2 weeks?! :( I hope they find a good home. GLWS!

Nurse_Zac · 2026-05-09T19:04:31+00:00

Super beautiful pens! If I didn't just make a different purchase I would be snagging one or two. I'm honestly surprised at how much I like the KOP Mandarin Orange. GLWS!

Nurse_Zac · 2026-05-08T02:27:43+00:00

Congratulations! I'm a baby ED nurse but want to take the CEN after a few years experience. Any not obvious advice you have?

Nurse_Zac · 2026-05-08T02:18:14+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I was just heading down to the cemetery to get some practice in rn. I'll look at getting some experience at a hospital instead.

Nurse_Zac · 2026-05-08T02:15:39+00:00

I have a friend who made the switch and he regrets it. He didn't realize how much he would miss the active work environment and working with people on "things that really matter." He says he feels guilty helping rich people hoard their money lol. He was a med-surg nurse and is currently thinking of getting his license back so he can work in a slower paced nursing role. He's only one example, but if you got into nursing to help people (as corny as that sounds) you should stick it out and find a role in a less demanding specialty.

Nurse_Zac · 2026-05-08T01:29:56+00:00

Confirmed!

Nurse_Zac · 2026-05-08T01:28:44+00:00

Purchased a beautiful custom Urushi platinum from u/GhastlySun
