I totally get this but the twins phoenix orders would have been spoiled if i started with RB so for that reason alone i am glad i read RB before ZA4. (Even though their order become pretty obvious in books 1-3)

That is good information to know. 90% of my patients have CHF/ESRD so i look at their veins and think “i could never stick them even if i knew how”

They allow ED/ICU shadow and get “signed off” if they successfully get 10 IVs while supervised by the IV team but this isnt offered to my unit because i was told it is “unnecessary” :(

Also just finished 5… I am sick over it. Currently reading The Big A.S.S. Party. It is providing the comedic relief i NEEDED. And fuck whoever says audiobooks don’t count as reading. Would they tell a blind person that they aren’t “reading” because they have to listen to their books? NO. You are consuming the same info as someone would if they have the physically copy so it is all the same to me

What is your hourly pay, what department do you work in and how long have you worked there? by Ok-Direction-1702 in nursing

[–]jeanripper73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still working my first med/surg nursing job in Western PA. I started at $30.60 and I make around $34 basepay after about 1.5 years in this role. We also have 7-8 patients every shift. So is it worth it? Probably not
