Hey, it's an extra shift, too! Time and a half, plus $11 an hour. And, I have one 87 yo pt, sedated, chemically paralyzed and on a ventilator. I am code nurse, though so if someone tries to die, I'll be busy enough. It is ultra cool to be paid for being experienced and college educated.
Your right it does pay off apparently for you especially you can suck money from the 87 year olds insurance company for blogging instead of something more productive to the hospital and the Pt.
Sure beats working for minimum wage at Home Depot!
I did not know that it was bad to work for a living and Even worse to work for Home Depot. I guess I missed something.. Perhaps I should buy the 'American gangsta" cd and make money the way JZ says to do it maybe that would be a better solution. Would you happen to have any suggestions on how to be a lazy street dealing crack head or can I get it all straight from obamas fav CD ?
Personally home depot beats calling ladies hoes to make a buck and I love to goto home depot most off the people are extremely friendly and knowledgeable and go out of their way to help the customer unlike some nurses I have heard of...
Plus, I can feel good about what I did at work, not like those Haliburton guys do in Iraq.
I tell ya when you go abroad and run supplies for your country whilst being shot at while your family is at home wondering if your ever coming home alive lemme know how you feel. I am pretty sure they feel pretty good about
A. The money is good
B. They are helping our troops with food/haircuts/clothing and much needed supplies.
I guess if you feel good about bragging on the INTERNET that you don't do anything but blog while getting paid for it then you should try really working and seeing the end result of actually earning your keep.
Interesting part is, as nurses retire, the cost of us is going to skyrocket!
If we get more nurses like you I am sure it will. more money for less work. I can see the picket line now. You do know some people actually take the pledge to help people seriously and are not there to get rich but to really help people can you believe that ?
Geez, O is right. Some people really are bitter!
bitter is not the word for what I am it is sickened by your gross negligence to follow The Hippocratic Oath what many nurses past and present have done while not mandatory some actually believe in it and follow it. You sure seem to not follow it.
I SWEAR in the presence of the Almighty and before my family, my teachers and my peers that according to my ability and judgment I will keep this Oath and Stipulation.
TO RECKON all who have taught me this art equally dear to me as my parents and in the same spirit and dedication to impart a knowledge of the art of medicine to others. I will continue with diligence to keep abreast of advances in medicine. I will treat without exception all who seek my ministrations, so long as the treatment of others is not compromised thereby, and I will seek the counsel of particularly skilled physicians where indicated for the benefit of my patient.
I WILL FOLLOW that method of treatment which according to my ability and judgment, I consider for the benefit of my patient and abstain from whatever is harmful or mischievous. I will neither prescribe nor administer a lethal dose of medicine to any patient even if asked nor counsel any such thing nor perform the utmost respect for every human life from fertilization to natural death and reject abortion that deliberately takes a unique human life.
WITH PURITY, HOLINESS AND BENEFICENCE I will pass my life and practice my art. Except for the prudent correction of an imminent danger, I will neither treat any patient nor carry out any research on any human being without the valid informed consent of the subject or the appropriate legal protector thereof, understanding that research must have as its purpose the furtherance of the health of that individual. Into whatever patient setting I enter, I will go for the benefit of the sick and will abstain from every voluntary act of mischief or corruption and further from the seduction of any patient.
WHATEVER IN CONNECTION with my professional practice or not in connection with it I may see or hear in the lives of my patients which ought not be spoken abroad, I will not divulge, reckoning that all such should be kept secret.
WHILE I CONTINUE to keep this Oath unviolated may it be granted to me to enjoy life and the practice of the art and science of medicine with the blessing of the Almighty and respected by my peers and society, but should I trespass and violate this Oath, may the reverse by my lot.
