I am a RN, just started my first ICU travel job. Soooooooooo much respect to you going from your NP position and going bedside to be an RN. And even more love being a nurse of color as well!!! Kill it, Queen!!!

@sarahr3747 2 года назад

I’m a nurse also. I agree with you that she deserves respect for going back to the bedside. But - Skin color really doesn’t, and shouldn’t have anything to do with anything. Let’s get past that. We are all made in the same image of God, our skin color is just a shallow physical genetic expression and it’s way past time we act like educated humans (especially as healthcare providers) on this topic.

@JR-oe6dw 2 года назад

@@sarahr3747 I appreciate your input. I agree one's race should not matter. I said what I did as a means of encouragement for other people of color to enter the field. I often times am met with resistance and left without a sense of belonging and community when I am on the floor. I honestly do not what care what one's background is, as I am welcoming to all. But when I have heard time and time again from patients that they feel misunderstood and neglected and they tell me why, that lets me know that having that community and commonality amongst those around you is important and that goes for every type of person across the board. I hear you, but I will always encourage for a broadening of all races/ethnicities in nursing :). We can't get past it until we improve upon it.

@sb5107 2 года назад

Thank you. I’m a nurse if color and I am sick and tired of hearing the color thing. My brain my determination my devotion my education my family support my self esteem is how I got to where I am and where I am going. Not my color. Never has been an issue

@memcore1312 2 года назад

@@sarahr3747 Stop burying your head in the sand with this “colorblind” nonsense. You ignoring the very real impacts of white cultural hegemony is nothing but cowardice.

@BishimDeja Год назад

@@sarahr3747 girl stfu. Yall swear. If you don’t know how much race matters in healthcare you’re crazy. Black RNs are totally treated different. Get from under whatever hiding spot you’ve been under and pay attention to all the nurses coming out telling their stories. Are you saying they are lying? People that act like racism doesn’t exist is the problem

@relaxationsoundsambience2724 2 года назад

Where ya'll work at? I'm a telehealth NP let's just say in the pacific area and NP's are compensated really well. I bet it depends on where you work, age, experience to name a few. Not trying to discourage anyone but at 50 years of age and, 20 plus years as RN/NP t'was dun with the bedside a long time agO. No one ain't gonna pay me enough at this stage, mmh! mmh! Been done a while. Good luck ya'll! Welcome to paradise should you want to give it a thought. The pay is great and the sunshine is heavenly! My old back ain't lifting another human, not even my grandbaby. I'll die poor with a smile.

@deborahgilburn6894 2 года назад

I'm also a CNM going back to bedside-finished my first week and am still working through a gazillion Healthstream modules. And assisted in my first delivery yesterday and I felt like childbirth was going back 25 years. A HUGE reminder of why I became a midwife. Ugh.

Ok this is very timely... I'm a NP strongly considering getting back into the travel RN role because the rates and insane right now.. and these are rates that we will never see as an NP. Money talks, but I believe you I will work for it! Also after starting my new NP outpatient job I'm having trouble finding fulfillment. How many times have I heard...."I wanted to see Dr.X but he wasn't available for 3 months so here I am to see you.". 😐

@selinaleewright5730 2 года назад

Thank you for being so honest. I was really wanting to stop my NP job and take advantage of travel nursing, however I have decided to just stay. I'm a hospitalist NP at night and it's pretty cool, busy but challenging. Maybe when you're done with your travel assignment you could think about hospitalist NP??? Best of luck to you sweet lady

Omg Laurie, you are a real MVP for doing this. You are a BOSS!!!! I would have had no clue what to do. Omg and night shift??? I did night shift years ago for about 3months and almost broke up with my hubby lol. My job keeps sending me emails about picking up at their hospitals for a ton of money and I was like absolutely not. I have been out of the game for so long I would probably kill someone. But I understand you were in the ICU before so maybe you were fine I would probably be fine in the ER but still not going to risk it lol. I am so so proud of you. This is awesome 👏

I am 4 weeks into my first contract! Job is around as bad as what my home hospital is like, although I’ve only done night shift so far, day shift I’m sure will be harder. I had 1 day of orientation, which was rough because my orienter was sick with Covid (tested positive the next day). New charting, new people, getting pulled to several new floors each night. It’s a lot, but I’m learning a lot and new ways of doing things! Plus the pay can’t be beat, I plan to continue, my husband and I will be debt free in 8 months! And then as long as the pay is up I plan to do 1-2 contracts a year and then just casual at my home hospital. I hope you enjoy your travel assignment and any future assignments!

Like you were talking about the A-line setting and how they flush without using the vam. I was getting report one day and the said the patient got a purewick and I was like what is that. Any ways my 8 weeks contract is coming to an end on 2/9. They asking me if I want to extend. Right now I don’t know yet, like you said bedside is no joke probably the reason why we went back to school to be NP. However, the RN money is tempting. Will see.
