Do you have to wear a hat?
@raymondbasАй бұрын
You do not, but during covid it made it way comfier as you are also wearing an N95 mask most of the time. Wearing a "hat" or surgical cap/bouffant is usually necessary in sterile environments though, like the OR or during a bedside procedure.

So the 5 days off you get, will you still be paid in that period?

If it's your scheduled days off it is not paid. However, if you choose to use your earned PTO then it can be paid.

hi! how long are your shifts? do you get help with those 3 patients? feom another nurse or an assistant? I am an ICU nurse in the Netherlands. we have 8 hour shifts. I work 3 days a week . 2 patients max. we have only icu nurses working on our unit. and student nurses. no care assistants
@sdm15684 ай бұрын
From my understanding, nurse to patient ratio for ICU RNs is 1:2, thought it was odd that they're administering 3, but perhaps ita just a rotation protocol
@raymondbasАй бұрын
Hi there. Everyone in the ICU usually helps each other. And here in Texas, some hospitals provide a nursing assistant, and some don't. But either way, I've been fortunate to have coworkers who are always willing to lend a hand. Thanks!

I am currently a 4th semester nursing student doing my preceptorship on medsurg, but I am really interested in the ICU. I recently got done with my critical care rotation and I loved it. I just started creating nursing videos and sharing my journey on here as well. I’m looking forward to more videos bro, keep it up 🩺🤙🏽
