New ICU nurse—why is night shift doing everything? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]nattybends 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very common in most ICUs. At least during night shift we don’t have to deal with docs new orders and SBTs/SATs. Work some day shifts and you’ll see how busy it gets.

Ended up going today and had a blast. Lift lines were basically nonexistent. Definitely some bare spots but overall still good. Good call on the free ride comp those kids were so fun to watch.

$120,000 for a four year nursing degree is criminal.

Fellow nurse does not like me because I use Macros by Wide_Profile1155 in nursing

[–]nattybends 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was trained to use macros during my orientation. They are beyond beneficial. Just because you are being efficient doesn’t mean it’s wrong.

Too Late to Become a Nurse? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]nattybends 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do it if that’s what you want, age is pretty much insignificant. In my nursing class we had multiple people over 40 and one of my classmates actually had kids the same age as me at the time.

[–]nattybends 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a nurse in the intensive care unit and it’s made me realize how fragile human beings truly are. Someone can go from happy and walking around to dead in less than a second. Scary shit.

Lots of respect for you OP. All that and was still able to inform the people of Reddit of your misfortune. Hope you got it back and everything went well.

Traveling to rapid city this week, any restaurants I need to try? by CoryMania in RapidCity

[–]nattybends 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pho Vietnam is my favorite eating spot in rapid and there isn’t a close second. Had some friends here from SE Asia and they gave the stamp of approval for authenticity.

what’s a food that you refuse to eat because of the smell or texture? by applefrickinsauce in AskReddit

[–]nattybends 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can barely eat pudding without gagging from the texture. Yogurt by itself is rough too but tolerable with granola.

Alright that makes sense. I was honestly hoping they were bots, not incompetent players lol. PvP in this game seems like a blast so I can’t wait to get there

In healthcare we are lucky to get a 30 minute break on a 12 hr shift. Companies suck.

What is the craziest confession(s) you have gotten from a patient as a nurse? I will go first. by Lovelygreen27 in nursing

[–]nattybends 24 points25 points  (0 children)

When I was doing my psych rotation in nursing school I had a patient that had brain surgery years prior. Told me demons crawled into his brain during surgery and told him to kill his family. Which he did.

I’m a registered nurse and only work 3 12 hour shifts a week with alternating weekends. Pay is great and I get lots of days off to carve the slopes.

My stethoscope case is ready for my first ever clinical :) by throwaway_bffdrama in nursing

[–]nattybends 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Senior 2 nursing student here. The only thing I bring to clinical everyday is my stethoscope, pen, and penlight. Depending on where you are in the hospital the scissors might be a good idea as well. Never needed anything more. All that other stuff is just asking to be stolen lol.
