Sounds like you work on my floor! Except I am in Minnesota... we are a peds floor with a bunch of adult over flow in the summer. Usually Hyst's or appys, stuff like that. We sometimes have an NA if we have more than 6 pt's on the floor AND another f...
Wow that is a good idea! I am for sure going to bring that up. I think that would maybe work for our unit... at least a little, because there are some people that don't mind floating. We take turns the same way... we write down the date of the last t...
I was wondering what everyone's floating policy was, and how you like it? Does it work well? I am on a board to work out the problems in our policy, particularly our floor being dumped on. I work on a 16 bed pediatrics unit, our policy says we are ...
I work in a non-union hospital, and it is VERY common on my floor to be put on call 2-3 times per pay period. They have started floating us to help us keep our hours (but personally I would rather stay home than float so often) Are you able to floa...

I had health insurance through my schools health services, check online there are companys that provide cheap insurance for students... I think I paid around $250 per semester for mine.
We use a system called voice care. It is a taped report by phone. We enter the phon number, and our user name and password, and then either listen to report on just the room number you enter or record report on those rooms. It cuts down on having ...
I didn't do even close to 100/day... on a good day I maybe did 80, but usually I did 25. It's better to do a few and get them RIGHT, or if you get it wrong truely understand what you did wrong. Passing the NCLEX is more about how you reason things ...
Yes, I lived off my student loans. I worked part time for awhile, but clinicals made it hard to get hours. With the costs of school plus what I took out for living I now owe $60,000 which I will begin paying next month! Yikes!
I took the test and passed with 108 questions, my friend had all, what 265? Both of us thought we failed... but we passed! Almost everyone thinks they failed because the questions get harder with each one you get right... so they are ALL hard!
That is a cool test :) I took it and many of the top answers are things I am interested in... I work in pediatrics now, and that was 6th on my list, and number 1 was psych and I am VERY interested in doing that later in my career!
My friend got 3 dwi's while in nursing school (dumb her) but it didn't have any impact on career. She did have to write a statement on her application for her license but that is it... but maybe it depends on where you live.
I get the same way, when it looks like something that is painful for the pt. Blood and wounds don't bother me at all but if it looks painful I get all tight in my shoulders and neck and if I don't notice my tension I get lightheaded. I have found i...
