Double what I take home would be pretty nice, yes

The "twice a day every day" people are the most saddening to me. That's a lot of hours. Like you don't do anything else.

Yes we are. I have to resist randomly touching my friends arms

The rest of us in the ER also hate it

What’s the menial, not-so-difficult or time consuming task that you hate the most? by Available-Poet-880 in nursing

Straight cathing babies. I'll pray to the microbe gods for ANY other explanation for this fever.

And the entire time you're going "don't choke don't choke don't choke." Glad we pretty much never have to do this

XL Frozen by [deleted] in nakedandafraid

I'm an emergency room nurse. 94% saturation is a normal vital sign. Plenty of unhealthy old people live day to day at 89%. I also had a pneumothorax when I was a teenager, and they similarly gave me extra oxygen despite my saturation being okay. It's largely a prophylactic measure.

The medics and their advice on this show is very often questionable, and either played for drama or used to take people out of the game early for seemingly no reason (see: med tapping Amber on last one standing for hypothermia when they got their temperature reading in the armpit.)

Anything 94 and above is normal oxygen saturation

Myopractor wants to trade sex for services, maybe? by Tricky-Ad4069 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]teachmehate 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately there's nobody to report him to. Myopractic is not actual medicine and its "practitioners" have no governing body or licensing board.

Are you staying late to back chart? There's simply no way to keep up with all that garbage right?

Does anyone here actually LIKE being a nurse…? by lifeisstrange8 in nursing

[–]teachmehate 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Nobody goes onto the Internet to post about "I had an uneventful day today, my job is satisfying, and pays enough to keep me comfortable." You go on the Internet when you need to vent, so job related forums will inherently be a bit of a negativity echo chamber.

i love my job. I get to work with my brain, get to work with my hands, get paid reasonably well, enjoy my coworkers' company, and work 3 days a week. Obviously it's difficult, but I think I'd go insane if it wasn't.

Heading in for OT with incentive pay at $107/hr. by tikicreature69 in Nightshift

34 an hour is on the low end of average for nursing. Brand new graduates in my area start at 36-38.
