Let me ask you guys in all your infinite wisdom what you think is the best route for me to take

Background: Currently a CNA while in nursing school, I graduate as an RN (ASN) next May
My school's BSN program is online and we're guaranteed to get into it, also Texas is one of the states I can move to and do my online school from FL

Route 1: Stay at my current hospital and apply for a job one I graduate (they like to hire cna's that have been with them for a while from nursing school) with BSN online

Route 2: Apply to jobs in Austin, Texas where I want to live and see if I can get a job as a new grad RN (unlikely I imagine), and do my BSN online as I work

Route 3: Work 1 year at the hospital I'm at as a nurse then move to whatever state I would like while doing my BSN online

EDIT: Sorry all 3 routes I'm doing my BSN online

[fbreaker]

From what I've seen, a BSN is starting to be more and more preferred nowadays, especially for newgrad RN programs. looks like for you Route 3 is the best since you can get work experience AND your BSN, which will put you in a good position for applying jobs once you get your bachelors. Route 1 just sounds like working without working towards your BSN, and route 2 MAY work out, but like I said a lot of new grad programs like the BSN when you apply. The new-grad program I landed required a BSN, but it was at a magnet hospital

Sorry with all 3 options I will be doing my BSN online, I guess what I really want to know is if I should play it safe in a place where I'm confident I could get hired but don't want to live or apply everywhere in Austin where I want to go anyway

ah i see. personally i would still go with option 1/3 as you know the computer systems and the transition from CNA to RN won't be as difficult, but more power to you if you can land a new-grad program where you want

[guyman123]

Don't listen to them. You need to experience it yourself. My recommendation would be do med surge/tele before ER so that you're better equipped.



I'd rather it be that way, lol. Having been on tele, ICU, ER and house super... there just isn't a basic understanding of what each department role is. I see about 12-16 patients a night on a normal ER shift in an assignment -- triaging the interventions you can do in your limited time with them doesn't usually entail knowing things nurses want to know from the floor/ICU.

Whereas in the ICU I could tell you how the patient trended all night, how their skin looks in every crack, etc. etc. each specialty complains like crazy about the other.

Question. With your physique and you being house super, how much pussy comes your way? Not having much luck in that department.

Thank you,

Holy fuk you can get your entire BSN online? Mind = Blown

[VitaCrave]

Yeah, well I'm doing my ASN right now at a physical school but yes you can do the additional 2 years for the BSN online

Hhahahaa. Married, but if you know female RN's you know how insanely slooty they can be. I get at least half a dozen hugs or back rubs a night (or did, anyway).

Not like a massage. But someone coming up and rubbing my lower back or rubbing my shoulders and what not. Stuff I would get fired for if I did it to them, lol

What's the school cost look like for you?

Married

Some have tried

I have weathered the sloot storm

[gethroughit]

What's the school cost look like for you?

The cost is entirely funded by the government in the UK - so cost is £0.

OIC.

Do we have any OT's ITT? I'm not sure. They'd have the best source of info for what OT work is like

My sis is an OT, she loves it

Works at a children's hospital

[fbreaker]

i feel like OTs would have way more fun working in a pediatric setting than an adult one. the OTs that were working at my hospital get so pissed when patients are non-compliant, at least with kids you can make games out of therapy sessions and they will have fun

I'm sceptical about going into paediatrics as a male.

In contrast to what you just wrote. Have you seen OT's do good work at your hospital?

yeah they do fantastic work with patients who are willing to go through with the therapy or when they needed a consult, loved seeing them when they were on the floor

holy ****ing **** guys. Doctor wrote for 2 days of chemo when he meant for one. I almost gave an extra dose of it when the family told me it didn't sound right, I called the doctor and he said the family was correct. He ****ed up severely and I am glad we caught it.
The daughter asked me if this could have been fatal. I didn't know what to really say bros... it is part of a normal regimen but she was pancytopenic

That's why you get the big bucks boyo, nice save

I FUKKEN MADE IT, BOYOS. Also had my first day on the SICU today. We got some sik as chit people. Way higher acuity than my last ICU. Only downside is having neuro patients, along with open hearts and transplants. I hate fukking neuro patients. Also, why do some units prefer to use celsius over fahrenheit?

[VitaCrave]

Anyone here work in Texas? I'm gonna need the hookup when I move

[RobParks2M]

Why would that have been his fault? Following a doctor's orders? It should have been caught by pharmacy if it was something that could be toxic or outside of normal practice standards. Also it shouldn't fall to you to tell the family if it could have been a lethal mistake.

Nice brah. Neuro patients can be gross, but because very subtle changes can be significant it's actually pretty high level nursing. We always use kgs/Celsius in the OR.

Chemo order / treatments are often complex and individualized, pharmacy can not be counted on as a 100% safety check.

In the event of an a serious error, both the doc that ordered it, and the nurse that administered it would be at fault. On onc floors the nurses and patients often have an excellent relationship - in this case the family alerted the nurse to the potential error.
