  1. Is it True About Florida?

    I hear this rumor every few years or so. Nothing has ever come of it. Haven't heard anything from the Florida Board of Nursing to confirm any such thing. I wouldn't worry about it.
  2. What you are experiencing is completely normal. If any nurse ever tells you she/he did not feel stress during their first few months on a floor...they are fibbing to ya! It's very overwhelming to suddenly have your own caseload of patients to be re...
  3. Any nj nurse on ramp?? Question

    What is Ramp?
  4. Recreational THC = now starting IPN!

    Don't depend too much on the education route. It is something that IPN "offers", yet in my year and a half experience with the Nursing Board (of Florida), IPN and IOP programs...i have yet to see it come to fruition with ANY nurse. Who knows...you...
  5. Oakhill Hospital, brooksville

    I worked for their sister hospital, Spring Hill Regional, for many years. Oakhill hospital is a wonderful hospital...though it gets a bad rap for some reason. They have always been open to hiring new grads, especially out of the PHCC nursing progra...
  6. Dingy Barney

    That was a beautiful tribute to your beloved sister. Made me tear up. Thank you for sharing that story.
  7. Pre- employment drug testing

    Absolutely no offense taken. Everyones experience with IPN and the Nursing Board varies greatly. So far, my experience with them has been positive. However, I have seen other nurses go through real challenges with the Board and then, subsequently,...
  8. I'm Worried

    Keep up that worry and you will be on the receiving end of one of your own exams! :) You're probably doing just fine. If you weren't, someone would have said something to you by now. They are giving you that six month learning curve! Take advantag...
  9. Would you have done this differently?

    Yes, but when you brought that "weakness" in for comparison, you are now opening the door for a lot of other people to get written up. You might not have meant it as a way of reporting people, but ultimately, that is what it will become. It reminds...
  10. Would you have done this differently?

    I absolutely would not have done this. You made a mistake. Own it. Don't drag other people into it. I think that if you were truly more concerned about the error being made as opposed to the fact that you got caught and other didn't, there is a m...
  11. If you have rec' d the H1N1 vaccine - please report

    I didn't get it due to allergies, but my daughter who is 6 months pregnant received it with no side effects. My son tested positive for h1n1 three weeks ago, so is no longer eligible for the vaccine. My husband took it last week with no side effect...
  12. I think you would still be considered a new nurse even with the one year title. You haven't worked yet, so you don't have any experience to speak of. Most employers are looking for experience. I realize this is difficult when you are trying to GET...
  13. After 3 months of searching I GOT A JOB! WOHOOOO!

    CG - I am very happy for you. I think it is an amazing accomplishment! I hope to follow that same path of nursing someday. I find it fascinating and have a genuine interest in it. Enjoy this new path! I know you will thrive in this type of nursi...
  14. When A Nurse Can't Offer a Hug...

    Absolutely did not criticize her on any level whatsoever. I would never chastise someone for being different than I am. Please don't miss the purpose of my post. It was not to assume that I am superior to this nurse. She is an excellent nurse wit...
  15. When A Nurse Can't Offer a Hug...

    I guess it's a little selfish on my part as well. I love getting and giving hugs...and like Sue said, even from the funky ones! I just can't fathom simply standing there staring at someone who is sobbing or in pain. I am not one of those "there, t...
