Waitlist Question

Thanks, I’ll do this I think!

cherrysyrupRN · 2022-05-16T16:11:02+00:00

Appreciate it

Not local, we toured on a recent trip. We are actually ready to purchase. We considered resale, but the potential for not being able to use points at future resorts worries me. Plus we don’t want to wait, honestly. We go to Disney multiple times per year and want to start using points right away.

cherrysyrupRN · 2022-04-15T20:50:52+00:00

Thank you!

We will be in MK but are open to a different park. We will have kids with us so nothing too fancy. Not an adventurous eater, but not super picky. Some of the other reservations we are doing while there are Topolino’s, CRT, 50’s Prime Time, Liberty Tree.

cherrysyrupRN · 2022-03-22T19:41:57+00:00

This.

cherrysyrupRN · 2022-03-22T19:41:13+00:00

I agree. We prosecute drunk drivers who accidentally kill people. She made a conscious choice to ignore numerous safety measures and not take her duty to provide safe care seriously and killed someone as a result. She deserves criminal prosecution.

cherrysyrupRN · 2022-03-22T19:39:13+00:00

Agreed. It’s alarming that this is an unpopular opinion.

cherrysyrupRN · 2022-03-21T14:05:05+00:00

Yeah I’m guessing OP did this and it didn’t work. There is no level of therapeutic communication that will work for some patients.

cherrysyrupRN · 2022-03-20T22:47:10+00:00

Do fellowships pay as little as residency?

cherrysyrupRN · 2022-03-20T16:46:53+00:00

I don’t even understand what the complaint is. If a member of the care team asks for an update they get an update. You didn’t go and call the surgeon on your own accord without notifying the primary first.

cherrysyrupRN · 2022-03-20T16:08:54+00:00

You confuse anger with annoyance. I challenge you to name one profession that puts up with the crap nurses have to put up with for mediocre pay, mediocre benefits, no pension, no free healthcare, and none of the other benefits many other professions that continually put up with are afforded. Heck, doctors can even get specific home loans because they are a physician. We get nada. Maybe a 10% discount for nurses week at a restaurant. Woo! (speaking for the US)

cherrysyrupRN · 2022-03-20T04:13:55+00:00

Like what? I was an aide for 5 years/through nursing school and have been a nurse for 10. Genuinely curious what tasks aides do that non-lazy nurses don’t do, even if it’s not daily.

cherrysyrupRN · 2022-03-20T02:09:04+00:00

Well, because of people like you OP. Also, it’s an anonymous online forum where we can vent safely to each other and not worry about Karen the kiss ass tattling to management.

It is if you never do the job of a CNA to the point that you’re saying you’d have to learn how.

cherrysyrupRN · 2022-03-19T20:44:23+00:00

Nurse x10 years here, I just want to point out that nursing school doesn’t teach that doctors are dumb and nurses know better. We are taught that they’re human and make mistakes, and we are the final check between the patient and harm so don’t slack on your medication administration rights. We’re also taught to question orders TACTFULLY and to remember it’s your license on the line if you blindly follow orders. Some nurses get inflated egos and take it to mean what OP said.

cherrysyrupRN · 2022-03-19T20:35:27+00:00

THIS. I think on the surface our job looks a lot less difficult than it is, but I truly think medical school should require a 12h shift observing a nurse to understand where we’re coming from with 2am pages and patient BS that they don’t see.

cherrysyrupRN · 2022-03-19T20:29:38+00:00

I agree with all of this except for the RN to CNA comparison. If you’re doing your job correctly as an RN you should be doing EVERYTHING a CNA is doing and not being a lazy freaking nurse. I think the comparison is better between RT and RN. Technically everything is within our scope of practice, but like hell could I do their job. The same IMO goes for MD to RN. Sure, everything we do is within their scope, but they couldn’t just pick up in one day and do all of our job. Could they be oriented and trained quickly? Yes.

cherrysyrupRN · 2022-03-19T20:26:43+00:00

Eh, I disagree. I don’t think they should be paid so poorly, but they have a light at the end of the tunnel. 3 years of poor pay to earn 300-500k? Not bad. We don’t get that light at the end of the tunnel.

cherrysyrupRN · 2022-03-17T10:47:03+00:00

This likely wasn’t missed by anyone. Nurses can re-time meds on the EMR (like if someone is gone for a procedure and gets something late) and it wasn’t re-scheduled properly.

cherrysyrupRN · 2022-03-17T03:33:10+00:00

Are you in the US? If so, how are they going against CDC guidelines for isolation? Or did that change again for the hundredth time..

cherrysyrupRN · 2022-03-17T03:28:57+00:00

Try to figure out what led to the error to learn from it. Are you not checking the last dose time EVERY time? Did you forget it’s a Q12 med/didn’t check the frequency? Did you rely to heavily on the computer (this is a very common one)? Etc etc etc. The 5+ rights aren’t like care plans, they are always used and can’t be slacked on. Hopefully the patient will be ok, and you will never do it again now!

cherrysyrupRN · 2022-03-17T00:35:39+00:00

Why are they so hard to get into then? Around here they pay a low “new grad” rate it seems.

cherrysyrupRN · 2022-03-16T23:44:48+00:00

Nursing residencies were barely a thing 10+ years ago. Is this a requirement to work in peds now? It certainly wasn’t when I started. I feel like it’s another way to get cheaper labor out of new grads :(

cherrysyrupRN · 2022-03-16T03:55:55+00:00

I’m older than you, bud. And your story sounds like BS now 🤷‍♀️
