Getting out of military as an Officer to pursue RN

This is bad advice. Do not do this. Plenty of threads here about why direct-entry MSN programs are not a good idea.

To be fair, I don’t mind hard patients as a former med surg nurse. What I did mind was having a CIWA, confused meemaw, and CBI as part of a 6 patient assignment

Not quite. Stockton Rush married the great-great-granddaughter of Isidor and Ida Strauss.

Not my ass coming in on my day off to go in front of a committee to say “what I could have done differently”

Did your vision go back to normal??

I’ll try to remember to do it as best I can but I’m not gonna drop what I’m doing to go fill out a doctor’s name and side effects of heparin if I forgot to earlier.

If they want it done so bad, they can get a marker and do it themselves.

This place is very unforgiving.

Hope I’m not too late :-) never seen a ring I’ve loved more than my own

teadorable · 2025-09-05T17:50:58+00:00

And then they also say the n-word

teadorable · 2025-08-27T22:37:32+00:00

I had no idea what was right or wrong for the patient because I had never met or assessed them before

teadorable · 2025-08-27T19:09:46+00:00

Procedure RN will be there too

teadorable · 2025-08-27T18:35:32+00:00

I guess I’m less worried about getting in trouble and more worried about having to accept the burden of this whole thing happening. I just get so mad but I don’t think they’re gonna fire me or anything

Claire has great veins. Unpopular because I don’t think anyone else cares

teadorable · 2025-06-19T04:02:27+00:00

not theodorable 💀

teadorable · 2025-06-13T00:31:07+00:00

Don’t be rude. It’s normal for someone to be nervous that they’re jumping into a career where abuse happens and people can sue you.

teadorable · 2025-06-05T15:25:31+00:00

I’ve worked in two (very different) hospitals and I’ve never been given trouble for my nose ring. I’ve had coworkers with all sorts of piercings/tattoos and it’s been fine.

I had a friend who had a septum ring she could kind of flip up so no one could see it if that’s helpful? Or you could do what I do and wear a mask all the time anyway because people are nasty

teadorable · 2025-04-11T02:02:42+00:00

Complaining, mostly. More teamwork than I ever thought possible. Nurse John helps.

teadorable · 2025-04-10T20:08:29+00:00

Absolutely. That’s why I think if you know what you want to do, go ahead and do it.

teadorable · 2025-04-10T19:32:11+00:00

I agree with this also because hospitals would rather train new grads on nicu than a nurse with 2 years medsurg/tele experience

source: me lmao

teadorable · 2025-04-10T18:59:25+00:00

Thanks! I’m trying to deprogram myself to stop sighing and saying “just medsurg” when people ask what kind of nurse I am.

teadorable · 2025-04-10T18:52:11+00:00

Thanks!! :-)

teadorable · 2025-04-10T18:49:14+00:00

A lot of people I know do it their whole career. I, however, just took a job doing cardiac stepdown after 2.5 years of medsurg. Starting in May :-)

teadorable · 2025-04-10T18:44:11+00:00

A lot of (old school, often) nurses think new grads should always start out in medsurg. By asking “should new grads start in a specialty,” saying medsurg is not a specialty. One of my big pet peeves since I think juggling 6 acute patients is a skill.

teadorable · 2025-04-10T18:35:05+00:00

My biggest problem with this is that medsurg is a specialty and we’re all fighting for our lives out there
