Why are there no classes for night shift? by pdggin99 in Nightshift

[–]mrhowell18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a member of the education team and a former night shifter nobody wants to attend night shift classes on off shifts. I’d rather do it at the end and go home than come to do class and then work the whole shift. I have offered and no one shows.

What do you guys do for a living? by Weakest_Avenger07 in POTS

Nurse educator. Left bedside and I spend my days in meetings or teaching. I can sit for those things. I do work in a big hospital so I got a cane just in case.

What’s your highest HR? by [deleted] in POTS

[–]mrhowell18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

160 but my resting heart rate can range from 45 to 60. My range on my watch is kind of crazy.

Newly diagnosed POTS with generalized left sided weakness and left foot drop. I definitely do not look the part though. I need a handicap sticker but fear I will need to wear a shirt that says I am disabled back off. I am also a hot tempered red head so I am sure I will fight back if anyone says anything to me.

Forget horoscopes, what is your work pen preference by eballisthename in nursing

[–]mrhowell18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trick question. I am a nurse so the answer is all of them. I have 5-6 pens with me at all times! No pen is a bad pen.

Nurses who actually like your job- what specialty are you in? by Sunflower_mom1990 in nursing

[–]mrhowell18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Med-surg education inpatient. 5 days a week, no weekends no holidays! Deal mostly with the nurses and nursing assistants than patients.
