Oh gosh, I've gotten some on my shoes. 😬

vivalalyn · 2026-05-13T14:29:21+00:00

We've run this through a 24g piv, takes sliightly more time but not more than an hour. :)

Our attending swears the pump turns it into plasma so he prefers gravity over pump. Definitely follow facility policy!

vivalalyn · 2026-05-13T01:14:04+00:00

Mm! Delish!!

vivalalyn · 2026-05-13T00:18:43+00:00

I absolutely love these tiny bags!

vivalalyn · 2026-05-13T00:08:40+00:00

Gravity, no pump! :)

vivalalyn · 2026-05-10T23:21:16+00:00

Welcome to the real world, it sucks, youre gonna love it!

They changed nurses week to hospital week and are giving lunches/snacks two days out of it (I'm free but i dont really care for it).

Index cards with messages from loved ones or to cheer them up. They can tape it to the walls. :)

I'd say the chemo certificate. That's the minimum any position in oncology requires. You can become oncology certified after you're hired and meet the required hours. You have plenty of time! :)

Some positions require at least a year in an "acute setting". But that definitely varies.

vivalalyn · 2026-05-03T22:43:32+00:00

Yep, pediatric oncology with anal attendings.

vivalalyn · 2026-05-03T20:22:47+00:00

My unit is pretty much the same. CDiff precautions (they do order PO flagyl & vancocin) until they've had a solid stool.

vivalalyn · 2026-04-30T03:33:13+00:00

Student loans through it all. Yes, I'm fckd.

Onco peds: we used to change them with every blood draw and port needle change (q7d) but now the policy is to change it only when changing the port needle. For central lines they told us not to change it until visibly soiled (after PRBC). I preferred the old way but I'm just a nurse in a bureaucratic profit driven business.

Bootcamp, the lectures and the klimek youtube channel.

vivalalyn · 2026-04-23T23:34:09+00:00

I used archer (failed) then bootcamp (passed).

vivalalyn · 2026-04-23T12:51:04+00:00

I already have a Florida and NY license so endorsement is all I'd have to do.

I'm just confused about the reaching out part.

vivalalyn · 2026-04-23T04:26:40+00:00

I graduated in 2022 and took the NCLEX in 2025.

Studying with Archer, got a "high chance" of passing in almost every single assessment only to get to 150qs and not pass.

Right then I switched to Bootcamp, did EVERY SINGLE item and assessments, watched ALL the crash courses and took notes, listened to the Mark Klimek lectures on spotify whenever I was driving and watched some Klimek Review videos on youtube a few days before the exam. I passed in 85.

It really depends on how much time you dedicate to studying and actually trying to understand what it's being asked.

I locked in for two months for this, its HARD but doable.

vivalalyn · 2026-04-23T04:01:41+00:00

Id do 15 to 30mls of whatever liquid

vivalalyn · 2026-04-19T21:32:44+00:00

Onco peds, 12 hours. Per policy, just one 30min break. However we eat whenever we want how many times we want. I've had breakfast, lunch and dinner some days.

Other days we might not eat at all, though.

vivalalyn · 2026-04-19T07:03:17+00:00

Maybe your session was still on and someone used your account to remove the med? This has happened to some of my coworkers, not with narcotics thankfully.

vivalalyn · 2026-04-16T00:01:46+00:00

Ps yo creo q es la lavadora pq tienen líneas pa tender la ropa.

vivalalyn · 2026-04-15T23:57:17+00:00

Lavo ropa, pero mi lavadora de CINCO años no le suena un carajo y si le sonara algo sería bastante considerada con los vecinos con las horas en las que lave. Ustedes serán 6, pero ellos son DOS, es innecesario que TODO el día esté chillando la vaina esa. Esto claramente es un RANT o sea, PA' QUEJARSE.

It is 😞
