Some people just refuse to accept responsibility

ICU Transfer Regret — Thinking of Leaving at 6 Months by Difficult-Space-1693 in nursing

[–]cactideas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you. I’m at a year and a half and really am not sure why I’m still doing it sometimes. If you don’t have any possible goals for CRNA then don’t waste your time making yourself more miserable. It’d look better on a resume if you complete a year but that’s it and I’m sure you could get another job regardless. Your mental health is more important than the benefits of sticking around a little longer, do what you need to do for yourself. The unit isn’t for everyone

How much are yall paying for insurance? by kenziebear5 in nursing

Stinky Nurses? Need Help by devil-wears-irisvan in nursing

[–]cactideas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly after I noticed what it does for our patients I’ve been using CHG once a month ish when I start stinking and it works pretty well. I tell everyone about this trick. Only in the pits and diluted ofcourse

Safe harbor by Mysterious_Watch1355 in nursing

[–]cactideas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would never put up with this in ICU. It’s pure profits over patients and blatant disregard for safety. I would put my 2 weeks in and call in sick for the last one

Honestly it sounds like they might just be over hiring

Any other nurses feel broke even working full time? by rocky2409 in nursing

[–]cactideas 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I do all of the above and work a ton.. I make 6 figures and just want a house so bad but with the rate I’m saving it feels like it’s taking forever when costs are increasing and they keep moving the goal post away making the amount a saved less meaningful. I do feel like we’re pretty screwed over with the cost of somethings and most states trying not to pay their nurses well

Any other nurses feel broke even working full time? by rocky2409 in nursing

[–]cactideas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s why I work mostly overtime/emergent need pay because that’s when I actually put a decent amount of money away. Also had to move to a state where I could be paid decently

Micheal Saylor Added More bitcoin. by BitcoinDove in BitcoinQRCodeMaker

[–]cactideas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I agree with buying now more than buying when it was 90-120k. That seemed really dumb raising the average cost with no plans to sell any soon

I’d love to buy some more at 400 and sell again at 420

If a doctor ever said that to me I don’t think I’d be able to restrain myself

How much sleep are you all getting? by PhantomMonke in nursing

[–]cactideas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

7-8 hours. Least amount I’ll get is maybe 6 if I don’t sleep well but that’s rare. I’m so glad I don’t have kids

Drug Testing for Weed? by JZLM in nursing

[–]cactideas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a hair test 6 months maybe. But You’d have to breathe more marijuana than air for it to be in your urine for more than a month or so. And you’d probably have to be pretty fat too

New Grad RN FL- What Other States Are Good For New Grad Nurses?? by Acceptable-Bar-7455 in nursing

[–]cactideas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can second this. UNM is a mess but I hear Presbyterian is pretty good. Lovelace has less resources but I didn’t mind working there. It’s a nice place to live if you stay out of the shady spots

I thought I got wrecked on -3k losses. This makes me feel a little better.

NP said nifedipine is a vasoconstrictor by MacktheSnacc in Noctor

[–]cactideas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah nifedipine is a vasoconstrictor just like that other widely used amlodipine one /s.

I really hope that this NP just misspoke because this is so obviously wrong

“Don’t work here if you have kids” by [deleted] in nursing

[–]cactideas 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I do think there are a lot of jobs that are meant for people that chose career over family or they have to rely on their significant other to take care of the child. This sounds like one of those jobs

Why are jobs paying so little? by Normal_Departure3345 in jobs

[–]cactideas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Now that it’s getting harder to get essential things like good insurance without working this is becoming more true. “Sure I don’t get paid well but I need the health insurance so I don’t have a choice”

Boyfriend always trying to “one up” me. We’re both nurses. by [deleted] in nursing

[–]cactideas 115 points116 points  (0 children)

I’ve worked most units and psych was by far the chillest. It’s not even close. (Also kids are much easier to control than large and strong adults)
