1. Tampa/W. Coast Students Roll Call!

   NURSJADED replied to Nashima's topic in Florida

   Galen is in a huge growing phase right now. They have recently gotten their permanent accreditation and are increasing their class size. They're probably just a bit overwhelmed. They also give very little info over the phone. I can't imagine them...

2. *sigh* How Many Times a Week Do You Say No?

   NURSJADED replied to NursingAgainstdaOdds's topic in General Nursing

   BWAHAHAHA!! I've got to use that one!!

3. Harassment?

   NURSJADED replied to UM Review RN's topic in Relations

   Doesn't sound much like "team playing" if the team didn't get to come up with the exercise. Maybe they (facility) could fork over the bucks to buy everyone the same colored (not white) tops with the logo on them? And everyone could wear them on Fri...

4. ? About Good Pay Rates For Seattle/tacoma As Travler

   NURSJADED replied to tmdidio27's topic in Travel

   For what area? Med surg? Tele? ICU? By the way, I just came back from a visit to that area. Beautiful!

5. What does "provisional" status mean?

   NURSJADED replied to centralflorida's topic in Florida

   Just a side note, many of the state colleges have "provisional status" on some of their programs. It just means that they have a process to go through, certain amount of graduates have to pass boards, etc. If the state allows the graduates of that...

6. Art lines in the ED

   NURSJADED replied to debi1rn's topic in Emergency

   You mean all that should happen in the ER right? Cuz all it does is cause problems in ICU. There are no docs hanging around in there.:uhoh21:

7. Art lines in the ED

   NURSJADED replied to debi1rn's topic in Emergency

   Which is really too bad. You have the Doc's down there to do it. I dread when we get a patient into ICU who's got order for gtts, ABTS, IVF, blood transfusions, stat and one angiocath in the only accessible vein. That means we have to call the ad...

8. LPN's in Florida Hospitals

   NURSJADED replied to clarissairene's topic in Florida

   They go through phases here in Florida where they try to phase them out but there aren't enough RNs to go around and eventually they hire more LPNs.

9. ALL About Staffing - HCA hospitals

   NURSJADED replied to michnurse12's topic in Travel

   Some of these hospitals will push the limits of safety and ethics, and they don't have to care if something bad happens during an unsafe patient assignment because they can legally put all of the blame on you. At our facility the union has provided a...

10. ALL About Staffing - HCA hospitals

    NURSJADED replied to michnurse12's topic in Travel

    No, but it is a great area! I have family over in Port St Lucie, but none of them are medical personnel so I don't know how the hospital systems are. Its a strange area in that there are a lot of migrant farm workers and a lot of newly rich folks. ...

11. ALL About Staffing - HCA hospitals

    NURSJADED replied to michnurse12's topic in Travel

    We did just vote the union in this year. Of course, negotiations are not going well and there is talk of a one-day strike. I'm sure it will be a long time before there are any improvements in patient-staff ratios.

12. ALL About Staffing - HCA hospitals

    NURSJADED replied to michnurse12's topic in Travel

    All the "good members" are leaving, including myself. Three patients a piece in ICU (Vents, gtts, swans.. doesn't matter to them) no aides, no secretaries, no monitor techs. You can only do so much.

13. ALL About Staffing - HCA hospitals

    NURSJADED replied to michnurse12's topic in Travel

    I've worked for HCA for 10 years. The pay is good regardless of how loyal you are to them. They pay based on years experience. Just know that 90% of the time you will work short-staffed. 30% of that 90%... will be REALLY short-staffed! I'm almo...

14. Tips for looking more professional

    NURSJADED replied to kukukajoo's topic in General Nursing

    Just FYI, they're the same thing. Bare Minerals is produced by Bare Essentuals. Check and see if you have a Sephora store near you or you can get them on the QVC website. I prefer Sephora, then I don't have to pay for shipping

15. Hello Mr. VIP! I'm your servant nurse for the night!

    NURSJADED replied to SICU Queen's topic in General Nursing

    Nope, nope, nope. What I tell the charge nurse/supervisor/whoever is that this patient will get as good care as my other patients, (who are just as important to ME) and they will NOT have any special treatment. If they want an arse-smacker, find so...
