[@bre0323]

Girl you need to go to night shift at the hospital ~ Then you can avoid that “ low census”👀because less people wanna work the night

[@bre0323]

@@Lizbethspeaks in my opinion, YES, ~ There are many benefits to night shift.

[@coop8089]

I like multiple sources of income as well everyone looks at me crazy all over the place but I learned the hard way when I was younger and being stuck at one place when people start talking crazy or management changes and wanna shake the table…. Multiple sources of income ie several jobs on the docket yeah it’s a W.

Hey Nurse B! I’m currently working a PRN Remote job and I’m loving it. It’s definitely options out here. Great topic!!

[@richardwildlife88-wj6kl]

LTC is the best, I love being a CNA in LTC because the overtime is unlimited. Assisted Living ain't too bad.

[@siriusjones956]

It has options but it sure depends on where you work. I'm excited to go into the acute setting. The ER was less busy than my floor.

[@DevTheDudeRN]

Nope! Re work that contract sis! Cuz they playing!!! And on call with no pay? Somebody lying!

[@coreyc6608]

I watch you off and on, I did the steps as well CNA, CMA, LPN, RN. I have worked LTC, Rehab, Public Health, Outpatient and Hosp. When I saw you were going to the hospital I was like LTC just a "smaller scale" yet the same thing different place. I personally have been doing Triage Nursing in the clinic float between contracts and perdiem. It is 8 to 4 a nice break from all that running around still gets me my hours and my breaks. I also work outpatient GI between contracts PRN and it pays well. I tell all my friends that hyping the hospital when you get your RN is to help with the shortage dont believe the hype.

[@mistermilkman]

Welcome 2 the hospital world. It's always good 2 have options n this game. They will shut u down like mail on a Sunday.

[@codychristian513]

I remember I worked one shift at a facility they had desk fans in the residents room. If you think that was bad they had crank beds. Do you believe that they only got one shift out of me

[@yourfavnurseb9699]

Oh yea I’ve been to a lot of places with crank beds, sucks when u don’t put the handle back and you hit your leg against it

[@mistermilkman]

@@yourfavnurseb9699 What is a "crank bed?" Y does it sound hella physical?

[@meeka59]

One facility I go to to see my patients still has crank beds. I feel bad for the staff. No facility should have crank beds in 2023. Nor should they smell!

[@yourfavnurseb9699]

@@mistermilkman lol it’s when you have to turn a crank to put the head and foot of the bed up and down and it is too darn physical.

I feel you especially getting off shift. I have to remind myself the shift is almost over.

I’m per diem outpatient surgery center as pre-op and endo nurse, per diem clinical instructor for nursing students and have my businesses-Sisterlocs, esthetician, and body contouring….it’s always evaluating and re-evaluating. Good luck!

Brittany the nurse is my favorite 🤩

[@robertaparker1989]

My fave Nurse. Sending well wishes from the sunshine state of Florida. I have been watching your journey for several years now. I have been a LPN since 2007. I went back to school in 2021 to get my AA in Arts, where I graduated last December magna cumlade. 2 weeks after graduation I went straight into the ADN program where I have consistently made it through each semester. I have two weeks off before I complete my 16 weeks of integration. This is my very first time writing on your page although I frequent your KZbin channel. You have been an inspiration.

[@nursejones63]

I’m looking for a remote job as well possibly home health.

[@donnaindigo]

Go work at slu their nurses if not already going on strike

[@yourfavnurseb9699]

Oh wow. Idk people hate nurses that work during a strike. But hey isn’t that what unions are for so you can go on strike get your demands meet then go back to work. Someone has to take care of the patients

[@diehard200]

Are those permanent rates or casual loading?

[@yourfavnurseb9699]

PRN rates based on how often you work.

[@diehard200]

Sounds completely different to the way it works here in Australia. Here you either get casual loading or permanent rates. For example I earn $58 AUD a night Mon-Fri as a permanent RNIC in a LTF or RACF (residential aged care facility) as it's known here. If I were casual I could get around $70 an hour but my shifts would not be permanent shifts. The rate increases with weekends and public holiday etc. So on Saturday my RNIC rate is $71 and on Sundays $86. With overtime I can get $96 an hour. Overtime here starts after 70 hours of work in a fortnight. This is all Aussie dollars. Sounds like US nurses get paid much more than Aussie nurses.

[@diehard200]

In hospital your standard RN does not get that RN in charge rate. So they only get their base rate. For year 1 level 1 RN that's like $36 mornings to $43 on nights. Aged care nurses get paid more than hospital acute nurses over here. Which hasn't always been the case.

[@user-wv5nf7fq8e]

Do research nursing

[@user-wv5nf7fq8e]

Do research nursing You have set aside my at least 6month just in case something happens

[@Itsnurselo2you]

Hey Nurse B it’s been a long time congrats on getting that RN , I finally made it into RN school🤍 But I think you should try out corrections you would love it especially if you can get it through agency once your in you’ll never want to leave it’s the most easiest but impactful job you’ll ever do it’s not scary how people make it seem give it a shot if you do let me know how you like it

[@diyabailey1060]
