how much per hour?

How taxing is the work altogether? Like could you keep doing it for 5-10 more years and not want to kill yourself?

It depends on the state you're working in. You can expect around 25-35 bucks per hour. A lot also depends on what additional training/certifications you have.

How old were you when you realised you were too stupid to be a doctor?

How disappointed are your parents?

What does a dick in the ass feel like?

how much are you making an hour then?

also, it's a good paying job that is always in demand with good benefits.

How many dudes come in with shit stuck in their ass?

I'm on a med-surg floor right now, and it's physically demanding. On your feet and pulling fat fucks up in bed for 12 hours. Also, if you work multiple 12 hour shifts back to back then you can only realistically get 6 hours of sleep.

It's fine for now, and I'm doing this floor for the work experience to get me somewhere else later. In nursing, work experience is just as valuable as degrees and is often required (I want to be a nurse practitioner, so I need a few years floor experience before hand)

I'm getting 28 an hour with benefits. It's my first job out of school

Do you get to Keep the foreskin and if so do you grill them or bake them for your sandwiches

That's it?... I throw luggage into a plane for an international airline for $25/hr and I still have 9 more years of raises to go before I max out. Why am I making as much as you for doing nothing?

...

>How old were you when you realised you were too stupid to be a doctor?

*Realized*

I envy you.
:(

I'm on a med-surg floor, which is basically a general floor. People who are admitted to the hospital for a few days either before or after surgery, or people actually sick.

If I worked in the ER, I'd see a lot more of that. But even the ER is mostly homeless people saying they have chest pain so they can take a nap in a bed

I max out higher. I've only been on the floor for a year at this point. There's also a bunch of nursing-related jobs you can into once you have some experience

We actually use it as the casing to make sausage with

What line of work are you in?

Also, let me ask this first. Are you in a union?

Why do nurses often think they know more than doctors?

Taking the NCLEX soon any advice? Also starting pay in California is >40$

U see any hot girls

That's good. And yes.

Wasn't trolling either, just thought you would be making more. Makes me feel pretty useless knowing I stack luggage like Tetris and can fly for free and make my own hours, while you actually really help people and make as much as me.

Doctors have about 10 minutes MAXIMUM per patient in the hospital during an actual face to face visit. So they'll read the chart, then come in and ask questions to the patient (often without even looking up from the chart), then afterwards ask the nurse about how they're doing and read the documentation the nurse has wrote about the patient

The nurse spends their entire 12 hour shift with that patient, so we can actually get a baseline of the patient's "normal" then be able to see changes throughout the day

Yeah but that goes as far as a nurse whining that "they're not quite right". It doesn't account for the fact that nurses always seem to claim that they know more than doctors.

NCLEX has a boner for "select all that apply" questions. Also, during the test your screen may just randomly shut off and turn black.

DONT FREAK OUT

This usually happens because you answered enough questions correct to not need to take the entire test, so it shuts off

Only every day with my coworkers!

The downside is their feet and back hurt, and are pissed off about patient X or Y so they usually aren't that fun to be around

>Also starting pay in California is >40$
The cost of living is also waaaaaaaaay higher so it balances out

Also starting pay in California is >40$
Enjoy pissing nearly all of that pay away on rent, gas, and tax. Why do cuckafornians think their pay is comparable to other states?
>Taking the NCLEX soon any advice?
Have you been studying 2-5 hours a day for at least three weeks? No? Then prepare to struggle.
I studied for four days, took it, and scapped by. I didn't do nclex style questions or study testing strategy. It's not really that hard of a test, but they really fuck you up with the whole "What is the most correct answer".
If I had to redo it I would have taken 3 weeks to study and have practiced with nclex questions.

Cost of living is definitely higher but it's still possible to live well if you have self-control and I'm a transplant from Midwest and don't call myself a calofornian. Yep studying right now actually gonna give it 4 weeks.

>"What is the most correct answer"
yeah basically this. They'll give you 4 answers to a question, and they're ALL ACTUALLY CORRECT ANSWERS but one of them is more correct. For example

>Patient is receiving an antibiotic IV piggyback, and begins to complain of itching and breaks out in hives. What should you do FIRST
A. Call for help
B. Stop the IV drip
C. Prepare to give Benadryl
D. Ask the patient if he has any allergies

The answer would be B

fuck, why didnt i think of this when searching for trap porn before

Think of nursing as a career?

It always amuses me that the people who ask this question have never spent any time in health care or have a clue what nurses actually do.

>nurses always seem to claim that they know more than doctors
I doubt it
Fun example however of a MD being an incompetent dipshit
>Pt's complaining of fatigue
>Tarry stool
>Latest hemoglobin comes back with at 8
>Previous hemoglobin from 12 hours ago at 13
>Call MD at 0200
>Get chewed out for even though they're the on call for night shift and dismiss it
>Pt eventually becomes unarousable
>Call code blue
>Pt spent 3 days in ICU after that
Sad part is I've got a few stories like these even after only working for two years as a nurse
The smart docs will actually listen and come and assess the pt personally if the nurse is concerned. The terrible ones ignore you and end up with bad results.

>call doctor because his condition is declining, gets mad because he doesn't want to be bothered
>patient declines, doctor gets mad and claims he wasn't informed of his patient's condition
>MFW

fuck that shit, that would take effort. just fap material

>claims he wasn't informed of his patient's condition
Like clockwork
If I had to give advice about charting I'd say always write down the who, when and why whenever you call unless it's routine shit like call pharmacy to send up meds.
