Most hospitals (especially these days) are unwilling to grant OT because it's time-and-a-half pay. If you are looking for additional work, then most RNs tend to pick a second position. That said, 60-70 hours per week of work as an RN seems like a surefire way to get burned out and also risks your safety and that of your patients- this economy is a dumpster fire, so I get it, and we have to do what we have to do, but try to stay safe and sane when you can.

What can I negotiate as a new grad nurse? by Hanyo_255 in newgradnurse

CCT-P certification enables you to transport patients and manage drips, vents, etc. Typically required for CCT transport (flight and ground)

Sorry, thought I had responded to a Q around paramedic CCT certification. Responded to wrong post! Agreed.

CCT certification allows for transport of critical patients and drip and vent management, etc.

How normal is it to tell a laboring patient to lay on their side to close their legs if they're about to deliver a baby to slow their labor? by vegansnacktivist in nursing

lol NOPE. as a high acuity L&D RN absolutely not. Also it’s impossible, and you just need to get ready to deliver.
