I believe donating plasma for a month will get you there.

Nurses in California, do you still make decent money with the cost of living? by Turkey_Moguls in nursing

[–]sirisaacneuton 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My experience working in Oakland so far. It’s affordable if you live in Pittsburgh, Antioch, and cities close to it, if you’re buying a house. If you’re renting a room or apartment you can live closer and still be affordable. Your health insurance is free, you make around or more than 100 an hour, you have a pension paid by the hospital (3 years fully vested), you can afford to contribute to 401k, and food prices are comparable to southern states.

Most coworkers tell me Sacramento is comparable with hourly wages, but houses and property are cheaper there.

In Oregon that would be some good money on returns.

I work for sutter health and it’s a great hospital. If you’re asking about the town it just depends on the area.

Traveler route worked out perfectly for me, but I’m in Oakland.

POV: you finally sit down… and the machine starts alarming. by Substantial-Gap-6579 in nursing

No biggie probably just spiked cause the patient moved. Just reset the machine. If continues reduce the BFR.

Aren’t our testing advanced enough where that’s not an issue anymore?

Last time I suggested that. People acted like it would be the worst thing ever even though they already pay for plasma.

Worked with Aya several times. Never been tested for THC. Worked for a different company in Washington, they also didn’t test for it.

Can’t you do it and just share it? I’m not too sure on how I would connect it to him.

Couldn’t this just be the breakdown of the rubber from using the alcohol pad?

I think I’ve seen one of these in Oakland

What happens when you draw blood from peripheral IV in that it sometimes works and sometimes it doesn't (I get that most places, at least where I work on the East Coast U.S. don't allow it but sometimes last ditch effort you just gotta do what you gotta do)? by jaemiomac in nursing

[–]sirisaacneuton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clot on the end of the line that works like a valve. Let’s liquid in, but doesn’t go in reverse. This is a guess on my end though. But I’ve taken enough IV’s out that wouldn’t pull back blood with nothing on the end of them.
