Good video

Really enjoying your videos. Just watched about 12!!!

CRNA

Do you have recommendations for someone that would want to get their wound care certification eventually and where to start after graduation? Then potentially becoming a wound care NP? I'm having a hard time deciding because I heard critical care/ICU would help me a lot and you can pretty much go anywhere and they'll take you, but then ER also catches my interest because I do like solving problems and trying to figure out what's wrong with someone, and the fact that they're not staying that long. They'll either be discharged or admitted onto a unit, but ICU I heard you also just have to know a lot and you can learn a lot? I also never thought I'd ever like L&D or the nursery and NICU, and ended up doing really well in my rotation and enjoying it, so would that be a good place to start? There are so many choices and I feel like I thought I knew what I wanted at first and then as I went through clinical, I started adding more things to my list of units I enjoy. I got a lot of wound care experience though already and worked closely with a wound care team at a couple clinical sites, and my instructors allowed me to go with wound care every week, so wound care is my strongest spot but they don't allow you in wound care right away. It's required to have at least 1 to 2 years of floor experience before joining wound care. HELP! I graduate next year so I'm kind of freaking out a bit.

I lived in Bainbridge and was 12 when this happened. There wasn't a big deal made about it back then as I remember finding out about a serial killer in Bainbridge later on in life through the internet. The stories that were circulating back then was just a girl got abducted and almost killed...Crazy times..

I was greatly inspired by the Nomad Nurse videos and decided to start my own LLC and continue working as a travel nurse and cut out the agency as a middle man. HOWEVER. I had difficulty getting insurance for my LLC. I emailed the Nomad Nurse and got no assistance or response. I searched online and could not find any other Independent Contractor travel nurses. I searched on the reliable Bluepipes website for nurses and found information that contradicts the idea that travel nurses can work as independent contractors: -------------------------------------------------------------- According to the IRS: The general rule is that an individual is an independent contractor if the payer has the right to control or direct only the result of the work and not what will be done and how it will be done. The main focus here should be on the part of this statement that says, “payer has the right to control only the result of the work…” Note the emphasis added on “only.” The IRS also states the following: You are not an independent contractor if you perform services that can be controlled by an employer (what will be done and how it will be done). This applies even if you are given freedom of action. What matters is that the employer has the legal right to control the details of how the services are performed. In the case of nurses and the vast majority of allied health workers much more than just the outcomes of work are controlled by the contracted facility. For example, in the case of travel nurses, the hospital will determine the hours worked as well as break times. The nurse will be using supplies and equipment belonging to the hospital. In addition, there are managers and doctors at the hospital who are supervising the nurse’s work. Moreover, nurses must seek the permission of a physician for decisions outside the nurse’s scope of practice which is a frequent occurrence. Unfortunately, these factors, taken a a whole, will disqualify someone as an independent contractor." --------------------------------------------------------------------- So be warned before you cut all your ties with agencies due to watching this man's KZbin videos. I also notice he has not posted any new videos in quite some time.

Thank you

I have been attempting to establish my LLC and work as a travel nurse as an independent contractor. I ran into some snags: 1) I did send emails to this Nomad Nurse three weeks ago and have yet to hear back from him. I am not paying for his Nurse Entrepreneur Course if he cannot return emails. 2) I have tried to find other online resources for RNs who are starting an LLC to work as travel nurses. Haven't found any. 3) On the Bluepipes website for nurses, I found material that states RNs do not qualify as independent contractors when working in a hospital setting and therefore cannot work as travel nurses independently. See the material below: "Do travel nurses qualify as independent contractors? According to the IRS: The general rule is that an individual is an independent contractor if the payer has the right to control or direct only the result of the work and not what will be done and how it will be done. The main focus here should be on the part of this statement that says, “payer has the right to control only the result of the work…” Note the emphasis added on “only.” Free: Universal Job Application and Credential Management for travelers. The IRS also states the following: You are not an independent contractor if you perform services that can be controlled by an employer (what will be done and how it will be done). This applies even if you are given freedom of action. What matters is that the employer has the legal right to control the details of how the services are performed. In the case of nurses and the vast majority of allied health workers much more than just the outcomes of work are controlled by the contracted facility.

Moreover, nurses must seek the permission of a physician for decisions outside the nurse’s scope of practice which is a frequent occurrence. Unfortunately, these factors, taken a a whole, will disqualify someone as an independent contractor." So this Nomad Nurse might be giving us misleading information and I might have wasted the past few weeks (and $1100 buying commercial insurance) because of his false info. Be warned and do research. Any responses from fellow nurses are appreciated.

I have been setting up my LLC and have run into some snags: 1) Three weeks ago, I sent emails to this Nomad Nurse who posted these KZbin videos and I have not seen any response. 2) I have sought out online information (blogs, social media) to explore if other RNs are successful in starting LLC companies and working as travel nurses and I have not found any, just NP and one of them wanted me to pay them $500 for material on entrepreneurship. 3) When I searched the Bluepipes site, it stated RNs typically do NOT meet the criteria as independent contractors if the work in a hospital setting. Please review: "Do travel nurses qualify as independent contractors? According to the IRS: The general rule is that an individual is an independent contractor if the payer has the right to control or direct only the result of the work and not what will be done and how it will be done. The main focus here should be on the part of this statement that says, “payer has the right to control only the result of the work…” Note the emphasis added on “only.” Free: Universal Job Application and Credential Management for travelers.

I also notice he has not posted any new material for months. ANY FEEDBACK IS APPRECIATED!

You really dont make nursing sound good at all. Everywhere in nursing is overwhelming 😂😂😂

Being a patient tech, Med Tech, L1MA and insulin instructor is great.

AMN and AYA with their beach front offices

I have not seen a video posted by "Nomad" in the past 10 months. I sent an email and received no response. I am transitioning to Independent Contrating and before I buy his $230 Entrepreneur course from the Nomad Nurse website, I would like to know he is still in business and available for consultation. Has anyone contacted him recently?

What about CRNA? You didn’t say a word about that field.

I discovered that I had to go to work, and manage the people that I work with and get them in line. It's exhausting and it's a lot of work. and it's not a long-term fix and in the end it's even not worth it. Better just to realize that nursing is toxic. And don't do it.

Hello do you still offer the course or class for this

Thanks!!! I need more of this ❤️

Number 10….So true, that worries me a lot but I’ll get it through

It was a very informative video about the bill rates from a travel nurse perspective. I never thought in a million years, you could work independently as a LLC. Most travel nurse companies that I worked in the past were pretty good with the compensation packages. I talked about other travel nurses about trying to get a greater percentage getting a greater percentage of my hourly wage.

Thank you for the tips !!!

ER

Can u do a step by step video on how to start a staffing agency? From the website to hiring ppl to get contracts with facilities…

I am a multi-state RN NY and Compact states. Left arm sleeve, Left leg sleeve, full back tat, 5/19 gauges(almost 3/4”). I’m about to go into my PeriOp 101 program to become an OR nurse. But my advice to RNs and future RNs is to be considerate/aware about what patients may think. Not everyone is ok with tats or gauges. It’s just reality. When I go to work I wear silicone for my gauges for them not to stand out, I also wear long sleeves as much as I can. And as a nurse u should expect that it’s a risk and u should be willing to take the negativity that might come your way. Some places might prefer others before u when hiring.

This was a damn good video. You laid it all out there no holds barred. As a brand new 50 year old male "older" nurse I feel like I can do well but am sure that I'll run into peers who think an older inexperienced nurse is going to be a problem for them. You can bet I'll be growing that thick skin from the get go because solid patient care and communication is my goal. Hopefully, some of these peers will come around after i can prove myself. Thank You Nomad Nurse!

Thank you, I had the breakdown focusing on grades....realized the truth. Steady now while others around me are getting sick with stress

Worse are rhe staff nurses who buddy up to these narcissistic charge nurses and managers. How can Nursing elevate as a profession with traitors amongst us.

I’ve worked Med Surg/Tele, PCU, ICU for a short time and now I’m doing home health for about 4 months for family reasons. Nursing 11 years thinking about ER to get back my 3 12s minus the same old in patient stuff. Trying to pick a direction. I guess I don’t know what I wanna be when I grow up 🙃

ER… gang gang

To "thick skin!"❤

I graduated 1994 and worked in New Zealand till 2017, moving to Australia as a travel nurse since then and can testify that the level of toxicity you've described and the red flags that you outlined are unfortunately rampant in both countries in the healthcare system. The beauty of being a travel nurse means you only have to endure a toxic environment for a short time only, i highly recommend becoming a travel nurse or only go casual if its possible. Too many of our colleagues have suffered terribly, leaving the industry burnt out and completely dejected. Big hugs to you all and thank you so much for your video!!!

I’m about to start nursing school but I was wondering…if I decide to go into plastic surgery nursing would that still be the same as an OR? Thanks!

Hi from 2024❤🎉

You sound like you should have quit. You aren’t made for academia, and we are glad you quit. Thank you sir

This was so insightful and helpful. Thank you!!

All the environments are the same

Nursing it’s evil an toxic. I would never recommend this job to anyone. I’ve only been a RN for 5 years and this is my last year

thank you.. this really helped me a lot

Spot on! Just got a 20.8% pay raise.... my hospital gave it to all RNs out of nowhere.

LPN’s are nurses ❤ made 112,000 last year. 🥰

So when you say break out to start your business, what do you mean? Are you suggesting become a nurse to make money and then to leave the profession to start your own thing (unrelated to nursing)?

I was a dialysis tech and our patients were the worst to the techs ! They treated nurses like gods where I live lol

Bruh if you dont just say the depatment or what title position i need to reach out to in order to discuss contracts. I hate people who do that. Stop luring us if your not going to tell us

You sound like an HCA recruiter “ don’t go to the good hospitals” 😂

😭💔😭💔I admit I got poor people skills… 😭

Anyone have a recommended app to keep track of certifications and expirations?

Hey there. this is old post. I'm actually talking to business attorneys, in the process of forming my own travel agency. I can't come up with a good neme though

Yes grow a thick skin however a video advising experienced nurses on empathy & communication would be great! Second day on a brand new ward will NOT see the brilliant time management you demonstrated Placement & having it mentioned four times in a loud voice is just cruel. Especially when the Buddy is flapping around, not communicating Cares they're doing & treating you like a CRN.

I had my first clinical ansi had to knock to enter the room tell me why I stayed outside for 2 mins 😅 until my professor came and said let’s go together 😂 … the pt assign to me was so nice thank goodness

The nursing field needs overhauled. We need to move away from the ridiculous Florence Nightingale era. Nurses work too many hours to not get a break or lunch. It’s nonsense. We don’t get paid enough for the shit we tolerate.

School is too expensive and nurses, dr’s- the educational expenses cost too much and the doctor’s then charge for their student loans and time it took making nothing- healthcare is a business for profit and yet the nurses and people doing the daily care- do not receive the pay that warrants the time and cost of education and the wages lost during those years studying and not earning.
