   Luv2care0907 replied to bree*'s topic in Job Hunt

   :igtsyt:I just retook the ACLS. Cost me $150 for a one day for the proficient ACLS. It was cheaper than the 2 day. I read the book carefully, knew my ECG strips and understood the meds that needed to be given. The guy next to me in the class didn'...

2. *UNEMPLOYED NURSES*

   Luv2care0907 replied to bree*'s topic in Job Hunt

   Well after a two year ordeal (3 if you include the year of preparing for retaking the NCLEX), I finally have a job in a hospital making double what I've been making. I made it through a torturous year of home health where I was constantly being plac...

3. Potential dream job AFTER I started orientation (beware, really long)

   Luv2care0907 replied to HappyrockRN's topic in New Nurse

   If you happen to work in my area and this were the case, I would highly advise you to stay put. That mega-hospital is running the show here and it is like pulling teeth trying to get in the door. But...once you're in, you're in. If there's a positi...

   I, too, living in South Florida. I have ten years of experience in NICU and OR and pediatrics. I stayed home with my children (which was the right thing to do) for 18 years. I have stayed abreast of all the latest science and health information. I...

5. I-Pad Use By Nurses

   Luv2care0907 replied to Penguin67's topic in General Nursing

   That is true. You can put security on your iPad to protect it.

6. I-Pad Use By Nurses

   Luv2care0907 replied to Penguin67's topic in General Nursing

   One of the nicest features of both the iPad and the iPhone is the one that triangulates the position of the device. If you have an Internet connection and someone steals your iPad and you have MobileMe, you can go to the nearest computer, log in and...

7. What kind of bag do you use?

   Luv2care0907 replied to brandi13's topic in Home Health

   What this is is the Thirty-One carrier http://www.thirtyonegifts.com/ I am not a representative for them. You have to find one in your area. For $6 they emboss these with your name. I also am using the paper carriers that I label with the type of d...

8. Need advice!!!! I hate my job

   Luv2care0907 replied to moni777's topic in General Nursing

   That's great! Home health has many faces believe it or not. Part of the reason for that is that there are many social classes, environments, family situations, and cultures that you will find in your community. Home health is either a one time visi...

9. Need advice!!!! I hate my job

   Luv2care0907 replied to moni777's topic in General Nursing

   I have found an ability to use my counseling and teaching skills in home health. The pay is not as much, but for the most part it has been encouraging for me. I too like that part of nursing very much. I have been in the hospital before as a patient...

10. *UNEMPLOYED NURSES*

    Luv2care0907 replied to bree*'s topic in Job Hunt

    This is true sometimes, not all the time. I met many parents that never raised their voices and understood completely why I was there; however, I do know the type of parent you are speaking of. One of those had me fired for not changing a diaper. T...

11. RN's...in demand if willing to relocate?

    Luv2care0907 replied to pat8585's topic in ADN/BSN

    That is so true. I have gotten computer generated letters stating that there are other candidates more qualified only to see the job sit on the employment board for months after that.

    Luv2care0907 replied to pat8585's topic in ADN/BSN

    I live in South Florida. There are no openings in the hospitals unless you have major experience.

13. Nurses and Lawsuits: How often does it happen?

    Luv2care0907 replied to coogabooga's topic in General Nursing

    That is so true. We are human and as much as we try not to, mistakes happen. There are people that I know personally who have discovered how easy it is to sue and make lots of money suing anyone in their path that makes a mistake. It has destroyed n...

14. Is it ok to wait a couple days before you accept job offer?

    Luv2care0907 replied to nightengalegoddess's topic in General Nursing

    I assume you have recent hospital experience. If so, the sky's the limit as far as I can see. I wanted that kind of reception when I came back in 2009. Instead, I can't get my foot in the door. Thanks for sharing and best wishes!
