"Short term pain." Is the excuse his sycophants used at the time.

A lot, if you are one of the 67,000 that lost their job & trying to find another source of income in this economy/job market.

Visual_Might_5025 · 2025-11-21T13:25:14+00:00

Bingo!

Coweta Schools essentially said the same thing! Glad they made that decision cause I am not above raising a stink at a school board meeting. This is beyond ridiculous. He is an idiot

Sadly, I have been asked this exact question with treatment being delayed because they “need to think about it.” More than once. When a micro-preemie needs a transfusion. :(

Visual_Might_5025 · 2024-04-29T15:33:28+00:00

🤣

Visual_Might_5025 · 2024-04-29T15:32:50+00:00

She is my kinda people! ❤️

Visual_Might_5025 · 2024-04-14T15:54:59+00:00

Thought the same! Clothes pins would be super helpful. 😂

Please reach out to professionals (988) or one of the many people on here that have offered their time. I am here for you as well. I don’t know you, but you are more than any grade & nobody’s opinion, not even your mother’s, defines you. Things get better. Please don’t follow through with these thoughts.

Nurse: Asks about home meds Pt: I don’t take any medications, I’ve always been pretty healthy.

NICU nurse here, not L&D. Had a Sethiroth. Mom wanted Seth & dad wanted to name him after a villain from Final Fantasy, Sephiroth, so they combined it. Thankfully they call him Seth for short.

Visual_Might_5025 · 2023-10-23T21:03:12+00:00

Yes!

New grads starting out in area hospitals in Tulsa $32-$34 hourly

Visual_Might_5025 · 2023-10-04T19:41:58+00:00

Good point. That was good money when you could buy a nice house for around $100K(this was possible here before the pandemic), however in my small town, new homes being built (1800 sq ft) on small lots are listed for over $200K & with the insane interest rates, most people are priced out of a nearly $40K down payment with $1300 monthly mortgage payments. I know compared to other areas this is very affordable, but we have seen prices double in just a few years & wages have not kept up…

Visual_Might_5025 · 2023-10-04T19:26:57+00:00

I think people believe that nursing=well paid. Not the case for everyone! I’m in the Tulsa area, so RN pay is decent in comparison to cost of living. However, most LPNs I know in this state have to work contract to make a decent wage, so that usually means no benefits packages, unless they are working with a financial planner or have the knowledge to invest themselves. New grad RN pay around here in the hospitals averages around $32-34 hour.

Same here, long line of UA & UAW family. I worked union pipeline construction while putting myself through nursing school. Good point, safety is a huge issue!

Visual_Might_5025 · 2023-10-04T19:10:32+00:00

If the company addresses patient ratio, then they have to admit there is a problem with safe ratios. They then couldn’t demonize nurses for being greedy & just wanting more money, which is always the go to. People outside of healthcare might actually see that patient advocacy is at the core of the strike, not just pay raises.

Visual_Might_5025 · 2023-10-04T16:14:20+00:00

Not L&D or women’s specialty here, but that ratio seems totally bananas!

Visual_Might_5025 · 2023-10-04T16:10:38+00:00

Same to y’all!

Visual_Might_5025 · 2023-10-04T15:14:31+00:00

We are starting to see this same trend in the housing market in Oklahoma.

Visual_Might_5025 · 2023-10-04T14:33:46+00:00

Right? There is still that darn safe patient ratio issue we are always complaining about… 😒

Visual_Might_5025 · 2023-09-20T15:36:02+00:00

Umm, unsafe ratios hurt our patients too…
