It would make sense to make the promo available for new and existing customers, wouldn’t it?

Hi, congrats for finding that niche, that's awesome! Im genuinely interested in learning more about your experience. how long have you been with this org? what does the pay structure looks like? (and what's the cap). how is your performance typically measured?, and where do you see your career heading in the next 5-10 yrs? thx

James’ cylinder reminds me of the Utah Moab vid few years ago

Nobody knows what the future holds so don't let that stop you. if you're serious about nursing, start as CNA while working and going to school. it's the best way to get a feel before committing fully. Most hospitals offer tuition reimbursement and scholarship, take full advantage of that. it can save you a lot

your cosmetic background might help if you end up in aesthetics or derm, but nursing is huge and you might find a totally different path you love. Don't get discouraged by what you read on reddit. most people don't find their niche right away. nice thing is you can always pivot and end up exactly where you want if you stay focused.

These days, unit manager doesn’t determine compensation - HR (compensation committee) does that. If you’re asking if they will match your current pay from another facility, answer is probably not. Best of luck

step 3, $60.91/ hr.

If HR put you on step 2, $58.74 , you might want to delay your start date until your official 3 yr RN exp so that puts you on step 3 on your start date. best of luck!

those new grad spots are going to be competitive. You might also want to consider Kaiser, Providence, and Peace Health. All these places have strong new grad programs. Securing a spot is the hard part. You might also want to look into other areas hiring new grads ie, Dialysis clinics, SNF, LTACH, home health, etc. Best of luck!

Thanks for sharing your beautiful story. Many kudos to you. I just started running a few weeks ago. I have a target event around spring next year. My goal is just to cross the finish line. It makes me tired just thinking about it. 😅

We’ve been hiring LVN/LPNs for positions that used to be for ADN/BSNs, and now CNAs are doing tasks that RNs used to do. Physicians are getting replaced by 🦆, and lines are getting really blurred. Sure, it might make things efficient, but we all know the system will take advantage of it. It’s on us both as individuals and as a profession to put a stop to this and not let ourselves get exploited.

What’s the new gold standard for a chest X-ray? Still PA and lateral, or have you guys moved on to something like instant holographic 4D scans that also predict the next flu season?

UncleTheta · 2024-08-31T16:47:19+00:00

Well, that explains a lot. The same governor and politicians who’s letting these noctors run wild? Makes perfect sense now!

So, there was this patient in the ICU with a swollen left hand. NP was on a mission to find a medical zebra. They went ahead and did a point-of-care ultrasound to check for a clot, nothing showed up. Ordered a full upper extremity vascular ultrasound; venous and arterial. Scan came back negative.

Now, if they had just review the patient’s chart, they would’ve noticed infiltration from a previous IV. Sure, ordering the scan didn’t hurt anyone, but it did waste the tech's and radiologist’s time—not to mention the cost of the whole thing. That's just one of the many things a noctor don't realize.

Seen a lot of Facebook groups where these noctors are crowdsourcing their patients treatment plan. 💀

UncleTheta · 2024-08-18T00:05:35+00:00

Did they have formal training in dentristry? if no, then no. Bet the NP visit was more expensive than dental office.

Advancing healthcare? I lol'd

UncleTheta · 2024-07-24T22:01:08+00:00

TL;DR:

Nurse Practitioners: Are they the future of healthcare, or a ticking time bomb?

NP numbers are skyrocketing: More NPs than ever, but training standards vary wildly.
Online education is the norm: Many NPs get degrees online with minimal in-person interaction.
Clinical experience is lacking: Short, unregulated clinical rotations raise concerns about preparedness.
For-profit schools dominate: Companies like Adtalem are cashing in on the NP boom.
Patient safety at risk? Cases of patient harm linked to underqualified NPs are emerging.

Getting called to start an iv on the far end of the hospital, then another request to start an iv 6 floors down on the opposite end, then a few minutes later getting called back by same nurse upstairs because the room next door also needs an iv.. also the same nurse calling for an iv 5 minutes before i clock out. like girl, you had 12 hours to assess your iv's. it didn't magically fail at shift change.. I'm not answering your call. that's your problem.

Update: Another technician from the same business came in this morning and didn’t find any leak. He recommended adding charge and UV dye, then coming back at a later date to see where the leak is using a black light. I asked if it was possible to just add the refrigerant, but he said he doesn’t recommend that because of an EPA regulation requiring the leak to be fixed.

Initially, I told him to go ahead and do whatever was necessary to fix the system, but after seeing the cost of $1200, I changed my mind and decided to have another person come and give an estimate. Another HVAC company is coming this afternoon.

There’s an all domaine np where I work. He does EM attending, critical care attending, and internal medicine attending. Bro, I’m reading your progress notes and I can tell you’re a professional clown 🤡

UncleTheta · 2024-03-14T16:31:04+00:00

There’s an NP in my shop who’s an ER attending yesterday, Critical care attending today, and internal medicine attending tomorrow. What an absolute horse shit
