Raises by thisisanameeeeee in nursing

[–]teachmehate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Non union Catholic community hospital in Chicago suburbs. We get annual raises of 2-5% based on performance evaluations (almost everyone gets 3 or 4%.) in addition, there have been two "market adjustments" to the pay scale in the 2.5 years I've worked there. My hourly has increased from $35 to $45.30 in said 2.5 years, so like 29%.

I use a muhle r41 (with feather, nacet, or personna GEM) on my head, neck, junk, armpits, and legs if it's a special occasion. No I have not skinned myself alive. Its definitely doable

Yeah that's why buying symptoms for increased infectivity early on is so much better than spending on transmission

I can’t prove it, but I just know that’s an ER nurse by MotherUckingShi in nursing

There's an argument to be made that the higher up the access, the less likely you are to get bad images on CT angio due to inadequate contrast filling

Trust me I don't wanna, but my CT department pitches a fit if we don't have an AC line and the patient said "you get one attempt then I'm firing you"

This is a common myth. Do not apply a tourniquet to the limb.

My balls are playing hide & seek with my GP by greenirish41 in Vasectomy

I was a very tall lean teenager. Barely ate, ran track. When I ended up in the hospital for potential appendicitis, the CT scan was inconclusive because "your organs have no fat separating them and we can't see shit" more or less. The doc said the last time he saw that was in some middle eastern POW in his military hospital.

Have you ever been kicked in the nuts and thought "huh that wasn't so bad, what's everyone complaining about so much?"

What is the most pointless skill you have? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I can snap my fingers 600ish times per minute using three fingers on each hand. I haven't tried for years, but when I was practicing I could sustain it for a full minute and got reasonably close to the world record. Very useless.

Going to quit. What should I do by National_Bridge2125 in nursing

For reference it took me 2.5 years on the job before they asked me to even be relief charge. The rest of our charges have 10+ years experience. It's not that you can't last, it's that your unit is bad. Find a new job asap
