  1. returning to legal nursing

    I would really appreciate any advice from LNC's out there. I completed the Kaplan LNC course a few years ago and never actually used it. I spent some time trying to get my foot in the door to no avail and then got involved in a new job etc etc. I no...
  2. Utilization review nurses

    Is there a possibility of doing this as a part time work. I already work full time in a small drs office, but my boss is looking to reduce hours so I would love something that I can do on a part time basis. I like the sound of the reviewing - I have ...
  3. Retaliation for voicing concern over unsafe pratices

    TNNurse, Sorry can't offer much in way of advice but just want you to know you are doing a wonderful thing by following through - so many of us have been in that kind of situation (although not to the point of being fired) where nepotism comes above ...
  4. Good Bye to Nursing for me...

    To all who are thinking of leaving...... I can totally sympathize with you - I have seen plenty of new grads (and not so new nurses) treated like c**p on wards. I have been nursing for 25 years and have even left at one point to go to college to beco...
  5. Hello from England!!

    Good choice! I came here to FL 5 years ago from UK. I did some research in the nursing times and went for a couple of interviews. I managed to find a hospital to employ me and sponser my visa along with my husband and 2 children's. I didn't even have...
  6. Difference between nursing in the UK vs nursing in the US?

    I had 20 yrs experience in UK and have been in FL for 5 years. There is very little similarity between the 2 - both have excellent and terible points. There was more autonomy in UK - and I honestly feel the "ward-based" training I did was excellent c...
  7. What contribution do YOU make to nursing?

    Why am I a nurse? I decided on my carrer path when I was 5 years old - am now 41. Had a couple of burnouts along the way - low pay, high workload etc etc. Have worked in a few different specialities and moved form Uk to Florida where I now work in a...
  8. Pain shots are us, not this nurse!

    Not for the sickle cell patients on my last unit - and it was not unusual for the "crisis" to last several weeks - despite no raise in retic or LDH. Who am I to comment - the Drs don't want to hear it.
  9. Pain shots are us, not this nurse!

    How about the patients that actually set their cell phones to wake them up every 2 hrs overnight so they can receive their 12mg Dilaudid. (off course they also need the benedryl and reglan to go with it.) Then the patient who was caught having sex w...
  10. Massage Therapy Training In Broward County

    Anyone have any information on the cost of becoming a massage therapist in Broward - and where to get info without getitng a hundred calls from the "colleges". I am onc rn based in private practice and would like to be able to offer pts something a b...
  11. Hematology/Oncology Nursing

    :wink2: I also work in a drs office as onc rn, after 20 years on med/onc floors. I love the office as eventually I became a burnt out coping with cancer patients on floor - usually the ones who are seriously ill and do not recover. The office shows y...
