[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your pay is maxed out. BSNs don’t really make much more without an additional degree like MSN or something in IT. [/quote]

I work in cyber security and I can assure you we aren’t hiring nurses looking for a mid-career change without some additional certifications or frankly, crazy hackathon experience.  It moves FAST and only the best can keep up.

Public health won’t pay as much as you want and case managers don’t get the same hours.  I’d be a travel nurse if I were you.  And I’m sorry about the rude patients - but I’d be realistic about that being a staffing issue.  Patients are not getting appropriate care because nurses are overwhelmed. You are all making a lot of mistakes, understandably so, but are also unwilling to listen to patients.  I’m pregnant and the number of times I’ve had unnecessary blood drawn because the nurse didn’t believe how far along I was when I told her I thought she’d miscalculated is astonishing.  I’ve never been rude or honestly cared but it doesn’t make me think particularly highly of the profession.  If it were higher stakes I’d be livid.

Prepandemic I was admitted to the hospital for several weeks and literally the nurses missed timing on every single dose.  Half of them missed doses entirely.  My vitals were not checked in 14 hours once which resulted in major additional complications.  So, I’m sympathetic to the overwork but not to general incompetency in the industry.  [/quote]

What a great lesson in how to win friends and influence people. I'm guessing there are no poor performers in your profession?

You should be ashamed at yourself for this post. [/quote]

You should be ashamed of yourself for advocating for nurses over patient care.  If you’re overwhelmed, quit.  That might force hospitals to stop accepting unvaccinated COVID patients as they should.  But don’t risk people’s lives because you can’t be bothered to pay attention while blaming patients. Nurses are paid as much as they are because it’s a shitty job, literally.  But don’t suffer from delusions of grandeur - [b]you want to be respected like a physician, go to med school.  Those are the true heroes of this pandemic.[[/b]/quote]

The fact that you think physicians do not make mistakes or put patients' lives at risk shows you really do not know much about healthcare.  And everyone deserves respect no matter their role/how prestigious their profession.  But I can tell you don't operate that way.  "Only the best can keep up" in IT.  Girl please. [/quote]
