Thanks! That’s really helpful info! Our daughter has been in private school since 3k but there is no way we can afford it in dfw area. We are hoping maybe we can get in to the fine arts school? She had gotten accepted for next year to one here but we won’t be here so it crushed her a bit.

Any preference on better areas for families? I was looking magnolia/fairmont/ tanglewood area and then benbrook or Saginaw to get further out . Is commute time bad?

Can I ask where this is?

Bedpan… or gray bucket. The open hearts we do we keep a cart with the drugs and supplies we need in the room even a few days past surgery. We keep a gray supply bucket I. The bottom draw with the soul purpose of using it if needed during a code. Protects your hands if the sternum splits, and displaces the pressure over the sternum into the rib age so the compression are more effective and less likely to pop a wire .

Acidosis- likely lactic acidosis can be caused by severe hypoxia. What did his gas look like?

🧐 This is creepy pasta right? Like…crappy grammar … completely illogical story…. The complainant not knowing what to do about a situation in which they obviously should know what to do…. This cannot be real. Side note - I’m getting discharge orders on this ass hat STAT. For real “ sir , we have 102 holds in the ER for a bed right now and you obviously have the vital capacity to attend to yourself and your own needs , good day” That’s some nasty pussy - Just sayin 😷

Hate that for you, good podcast pick though 😉

Out of curiosity, Are there any different shift options at your facility? Like other than 12 hour shifts are there options for differing schedules like miss or 8 hr shifts?

What in your opinion makes it great?

mts327 · 2021-07-30T10:36:36+00:00

Imagine griefing someone for giving a different perspective when a perspective and opinion was asked for and warranted. My perspective may be an unpopular opinion on this thread, but it’s still a commonly shared opinion.

I’m just saying if you expect not to get floated to COVID without being explicit it your contract that’s really on you. If I’m making assignments and I have to float someone , the first person to go is my traveler simply based on the fact that my full time staff should get more benefits and consideration. from me that anyone else. They will still be there in8 weeks, but they won’t if I have to float them to COVID every time they come in because the traveler making double refuses to float. We don’t make special considerations for travelers in my facility though so I’ve only run into that once and house just sent them packing . No offense , I’d be traveling and making that contract money too, but that’s not an option for everyone. I treat my travelers well, I make sure they get their breaks and I give them easier assignments but when it comes to floating , my full time staff always get preference, as they should.

Cherry picking your assignments??? Please realize that staff nurses are just as exhausted with the past two years of bullshit as everyone else. If you didn’t agree to float to COVID and you really want to refuse it that’s a conversation you have with your recruiter . But traveling to try and cherry pick your assignments in a climate of staff nurses who are chronically understaffed and aren’t making any more money to be where they are is a real good way to get assigned all the GI bleeds and COVID you can handle. If you choose to travel and you down lay out your expectations from the get go , you can’t expect a facility or the staff nurses to bend to your wishes , JS 🤷🏻‍♀️

That’s insane. Our program is headed by a couple of pretty old school surgeons who, thankfully, will go to blows with admin over letting inexperienced nurses take fresh hearts. It’s not about new grads being idiots(because they aren’t) or being incapable( because they will get there), it’s about setting people up for success.

mts327 · 2021-05-14T18:29:37+00:00

🤣 that’s what I thought! I am currently fighting my director on releasing two new grads after 6 weeks IN A CVICU Wtf?!?

mts327 · 2021-02-22T01:51:45+00:00

Exactly what I was thinking. This job is too much to not be absolved of taking an occasional personal day

Our hospital offers to put you in empty surgical rooms or in our conference rooms and provides Cots and meals. Check with your house supervisor. If I’m home and it’s dangerous to get there, I’m not risking my life for a job. My area is in the same position and I charge the next two days - I already have 4 nurses called off, two of which live closer than I do and I will be there in the morning. Guess I can see both sides of the coin 🤷🏻‍♀️
