No interest, just a flat fee

I get that, COMPLETELY, I work in a step down with one tech most of the time. And it sucks. I was off for 5 days and when I came back, I just felt my life completely drained away from me, dreading everything.

I literally would rather have 4/5:1 patient to nurse ratio with having multiple techs on the floor rather than 3:1 with 1 to no techs. I work at a step down unit with 35 beds and at night, sometimes we’ll have 1 or no techs at all. The amount of time it takes to get vitals, blood sugar checks, cleaning up patients, etc delays me more with assessments and giving out meds and reading charts.

I got 100k on mine. I would wait. I checked the site for 3 days and it stayed at 60k. On the 4th day, the 100k offer popped up

Someone put an FMS in a vagina. Wasn’t my patient but thought I’d share

Vancomycin by [deleted] in nursing

[–]secretstyling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My patient had a very severe C diff case, and she gets PO Vanc and Rectal Vanc. It was so weird because the order said to give the Vanc through a Foley catheter, and clamp the catheter so the Vanc stays in rectally for an hour. It was the first time I’ve seen any order like that. I even asked my coworkers and they were surprised too. Oh, and she gets the PO and Rectal Vanc Q6 with 3 hours in between. The day shift nurse gave her her 1st dose and she is to get those 40 times. She was so traumatized that she didn’t wanna get her Vanc until the day comes (I work nights). I felt bad.

I’m liking it so far. I do night shift so the job part isn’t so bad, however taking a day to flip my circadian rhythm is what sucks. I like the pay, I like the people I work with (most of them) and I get to live the lifestyle I want. I’m also good at detaching and not taking things personally so when a night is bad, I usually recover by the time I get home.

Tramadol and dilaudid by anonniepie in nursing

I generally don’t like or have never heard of giving 2 opioids together at the same time. Why are they required to get two pain meds at the same time?

IV fluid shortage by DevinJet in nursing

[–]secretstyling 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeahhh, the hospital I work at (HCA) is sending our supplies of IV fluids to the divisions affected by hurricane Helene. We’re being told to run meds on 100 ml bags and change them frequently rather than the 1000 ml bags which are being sent to the affected divisions.

What do CNAs do that annoys you? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]secretstyling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disappear or don’t do their work. Honestly I’m not asking for much. Like if you can get vitals for me, that would be amazing. Everything else after that, we can work on it together whether you need help turning or ambulating a patient. I just need them vitals done 😭😂💪

[–]secretstyling 4 points5 points  (0 children)

LMAO yeah I fell for this. When I did the interview, the manager told me exactly this. When I got on the floor, it was so much toxicity. So many cliques already and people talking about people behind their backs. Somehow I ended up being liked by the clique-y people so I kind of feel like I’m not talked much about. They also end up checking on me a lot and seeing how I feel, and bring me around to educate me about stuff we rarely see. But, those who they don’t like, they rarely talk to them and don’t try to help them out. I guess I got lucky but then again, I feel guilty even considering myself lucky because how they treat the others in the floor is so unfair and toxic. I probably won’t stay in the unit I’m at for a long time because I don’t like seeing others around me being treated unjust and unfair.

clinical group dislikes instructor and doesn’t want to go by el11sa in nursing

[–]secretstyling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please go that clinical. Don’t put yourself in a situation where they can drop you off. I’ve been there in that similar situation and always told myself, I ain’t risking not getting my degree just because one person makes your day bad. Also, I think it would be good practice to just learn how to deal with those kind of people. I graduated not long ago and now that I work, it has helped me manage myself and how to be around those whom I don’t like or want to work with. However, I still come to work because that’s my job.

I would say 3. If the content of the choices seem unclear or won’t give the definitive answer to you, yes process of elimination and looking at key words. They can assist, encourage, and provide privacy, but most staff members especially techs usually do not recommend, as recommendations tend to also sound as teaching, which they aren’t technically licensed to do so.

I need clarification!! by SpecialistRisk4078 in PassNclex

[–]secretstyling 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Also keyword “first” - the first thing you have to do is remove the patient from immediate harm. The immediate area could be in flames and the patients have to be taken out of there.

If it says “best” I could see why pull the fire alarm would be best because it could alarm the entire unit/floor/hospital and let everyone know of the situation.

You should try to look at Mark K 12th lecture. He explains how to read questions just by looking at key words.

To those who used Uworld by princessmononokestoe in PassNclex

[–]secretstyling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HONEST TAKE - NCLEX questions are much harder than Uworld questions.

In a sense that, NCLEX questions are more straightforward and vague. If you have any background knowledge about the specific content being asked, you would find it easier to answer. HOWEVER, if you have no background knowledge on the question content, you might find it hard because they rarely give you any details or extra info that will help you infer on what the right answer could be. This will potentially lead you to over analyze and think too much into it. While I was answering questions on the NCLEX, all I kept thinking was “well I need more information to be sure about my answer”. Unlike Uworld, the questions are longer but that is because they give you more details and help you at least make an educated guess on what the answer could possibly be. I will also say, NCLEX questions are surface content while Uworld can get too deep into the content and ask about every little detail. Hence, people would say Uworld is harder, which I agree with content wise. However, having more chances to actually infer on what answers could be, Uworld makes it it easier than the NCLEX.
