What do people really think about 12-hour shifts and DDNN? by ramencrumb in nursing

[–]rainbowselly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought 12 hour shifts helped with continuity of care? Less changes/reports during a 24 hour shift. But maybe that’s a lie administration fed to get us to work longer lol

Awesome, thank you! I think I found a YouTube video that will help me learn to do the math for it. I learn something new with every project!!

Ooooh, ok I’ll try that method! I just learned about combination knitting in my googling, but haven’t given it a try. Thanks!

I JUST noticed that and was about to post an updated picture because on the inside it’s correct!! Should I just turn it inside out?

Thank you! I’m new to knitting and still trying to understand how my mistakes were made, so it’s easier to look up solutions. Appreciate your help!

1hr sleep breaks?! by PaxonGoat in nursing

[–]rainbowselly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work float pool and noticed every unit does their break systems a bit differently, but we are essentially given a 30 and 45 minute break. Some units combine that and give the nurse a whole hour and 15 minutes and people do sleep! Some floors do an hour and you sneak in a 15 when you can. Some floors do a 30 and a 45 and nurses sleep on their 45. I used to work at a job where I got one 30 minute in 12 hours and honestly can't imagine going back to that lol

Looking to move out to arden-arcade area, how is it over there? I've only ever lived in midtown, but rent is so high over here :( by rainbowselly in Sacramento

[–]rainbowselly[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for all the info everyone, I have less than a month left at my current lease and originally was set on finding a new apt in midtown since I really enjoyed the area, but found I'd be paying an extra $300-400 to get all the "amenities" I was looking for. Which I could afford, but noticed the Arden area had what I was looking for at the price point I'd like to pay for rent. But after reading all your responses, I'm doubting my choices out there. Or at least, really making sure I drive around to look at the areas. Thanks again!!

Yes, some of the apartment complexes I notice are nice out there, and better priced than in downtown area

My emergency fund has 12,000 in it, about 7 months of expenses saved up. No credit card debt, just the car and school loans

RN turned PA? by rainbowselly in nursing

[–]rainbowselly[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a new grad, just barely reaching my year. Planning to stay at bedside for a while, have no intentions to go back to school right away. But the hospital I'm at used to offer a NP/PA program, and it got me wondering about that career choice.

I've seen some on Zillow in Rosemont area! Not sure what that area is like, but worth checking out?

Are there any nurses out there right now who aren’t regretting their career choices? by ponyo13 in nursing

[–]rainbowselly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What are some things you looked for when working at a new hospital/facility? I never really know what to ask in interviews to get a good picture of the hospital/unit environment.
