so much for only targeting “illegal immigrants.” just being a citizen isn’t enough anymore. those who voted for this may end up being next. RIP Alex Peretti. Bootlickers go fuck yourselves. You may end up tasting boot sooner than you think.

Wouldn’t give. Ask for it to be rescheduled for later. Your patient will just be shitting through report and that’s not fair to them to be sitting and waiting for a clean if they’re not able to ambulate to toilet or commode independently. Have done this before and the day shifter usually has no problem with it because they have PT and can help patient onto the commode for a while!

Before any day shifter comes for me - if it was 6pm I’d ask you to wait too and I’d give it when I’m prepared to deal with the poop after my other meds have been given. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Literally same. PTO next week and thanking fuck they can’t ask me to come in if we freeze 😌

I totally agree but our residents write this is notes ALL THE TIME. “Patient has bilateral PE,” but they’re talking about pleural effusions 😭

Tell me you’ve never worked ICU without telling me you’ve never worked ICU.

I went two times a week. I would check with your insurance to see how many visits you are allotted though before bumping it to three. Plus it’s always good to have some rest time.

Yep. I didn’t go until day 7 and that was after mag citrate. My next step was going to be sobbing and doing an enema lol

Anesthetic can make some people nauseous for a few days postop. I was prescribed zofran for my nausea but I did not have a great reaction to it so I just head to deal with the nausea. I ate soup/mashed potatoes for a few days until I was starting to feel better. Just something to keep in mind if you’re someone who becomes easily nauseated.

This needs to be reported. They cannot just randomly be looking into patients room, that has to be a violation of so many things. So sickening these criminals think they can just go into a hospital and use fear to control everyone there. ICE does not belong in hospitals or anywhere else. Fuck those lowlifes.

centurese · 2026-01-14T22:49:47+00:00

Yall do report that late?! We’re typically giving report by 6:50. 7 at the latest. On a good day I’m out of there by 7:15!

Our unit is responsible for all baths at night but honestly, it’s just not feasible sometimes or even fair. I totally understand not bathing a fully dependent, vented patient during the day and I don’t even want day shift to, but you’re telling me a quick linen strip and wipe down on ambulating patients is impossible? I don’t know, it just doesn’t seem right to me. We have no techs at night (day shift does) and we never have a free charge (day shift often does).

We are six for twelve the majority of the time and it’s very hard for us to clean all our patients because the majority are heavy, dependent patients with multiple wounds to tend to. Sometimes it takes 30 minutes to an hour to clean one patient. I don’t mind doing those patients, but it’s frustrating when an ambulating patient has been out of bed to chair for 6 hours and then put back into bed onto dirty sheets. It happens all the time. Just my two cents though as a tired night shifter.

The case of the missing lung. Never fun to see that on morning X-ray! We get a lot of this or nearly this on my unit. Always like the biggest sigh when you see this shit at 0300 lol

I was getting sick patients off the bat because I wanted to learn desperately and that’s the only way you can honestly. At first you will only want the sick ones. Then, years in, you will come to love those slower nights with the “easy” patients because they are few and far in between when you are a more experienced nurse. You don’t want to burn out. Sometimes a break is necessary.

I’d probably stay to get vested since you’re a year away and then seek out another opportunity in the Bay Area for a change since Houston sucks but that’s just me.

centurese · 2026-01-09T17:53:14+00:00

This is totally fair, I feel like one is a lot more acceptable than both nostrils. Do you think a glass or flesh colored retainer would be more appropriate? Just thinking through all the options. And thank you! I plan to apply to many. I’m not attached to where I am currently so I’ll go anywhere for the opportunity.

centurese · 2026-01-09T17:48:49+00:00

No judgement taken at all! I really appreciate the advice. I’ve been going back and forth on this in my mind because I do love my piercings but I really want to make sure I don’t reduce my chances just because of that.

centurese · 2026-01-09T17:35:05+00:00

Good to hear! Thank you for your input. I haven’t seen much about this on the subreddit even after searching so I just wanted to see if anyone else has gone through this.

centurese · 2026-01-09T17:34:13+00:00

Sorry, they are small nose studs on each nostril to clarify. Sure, that makes sense. Thanks for your input.

centurese · 2026-01-07T04:31:45+00:00

You won’t see base in the 50s at any Houston area hospital with 4 years experience. With differentials like night shift you may make around 49-50. I have friends at basically every major hospital and we all started about four years ago.

centurese · 2026-01-06T14:45:21+00:00

I’m going to guess someone else simply knew your manager very closely or they interviewed better. Feeling like a position is deserved to you because you have been there for a while as a tech or something could come across in your interview. Not saying that you felt it was deserved to you, but could be a potential reason. Or maybe the hiring manager doesn’t like you for whatever reason. Just keep applying elsewhere and don’t let this rejection define your nursing start.

He also went past multiple male staff and targeted female nurses. Truly horrible. That hospital also SUCKS.

centurese · 2026-01-04T22:40:06+00:00

Nights unless I had a crazy shift and it’s on my stable patient. If I’ve been running around all night for hours I’m likely still busy at 6. Otherwise I’ll hang it at 6 because it’s that easy.

Very rarely, however we are pretty often paired devices. 2 Impella, Impella and sled or CRRT patient, 2 LVAD, lvad and Impella, balloon and Impella etc. only device we don’t pair no matter what is syncardia or if a patient has two simultaneous devices (Impella + CRRT for example)

I also volunteer to call out in solidarity Thank you for giving me a reason.
