1. Where Is The Worst place to work in Florida?

   princess2b replied to MsMorningGlory's topic in Florida

   From what I hear, Celebration Hospital went through a brief time when the staffing situation was not-so-good, but since then has been good. I personally wouldn't call the Town of Celebration "Disney Happy", but more of like Hilton Head (Beaufort, S...

   If you have a letter stating that your licensure has been approved and should arrive in X weeks, then you should be able to give them that to suffice in the meantime. HTH. Good luck.

3. Looking for good hospitals between Daytona Beach and Fort Lauderdale

   princess2b replied to shlay51's topic in Florida

   I would like personal opinions and experiences from patients and medical staff (nurses and docs) point of views on hospitals in that area, especially for rare conditions and/or hard to dx. conditions. It looks like we are moving to that area. How...

4. Help with understanding clotting disorder

   princess2b replied to ConcernedMama's topic in General Nursing

   IMPO, if your child has not been diagnosed with the bleeding condition yet, I would first of all make sure the child has the best insurance possible for yours to come on into their adulthood at least at a "reasonable" premium amount today. Secondly,...

   princess2b replied to ConcernedMama's topic in General Nursing

   When their blood is tested, request a cbc instead of only specific labs, so you can chart any patterns that may happen. Your daughter's levels may vary with her cycle (when she gets it -- assuming she gets AF). I suggest that you contact the Hemat...

6. Rules for the ER (long)

   princess2b replied to EDValerieRN's topic in Emergency

   Very nicely stated, Sugar. It's obvious that some nurses here believe that patients can't know anything, since they are a patient --- unless maybe they see the M.D. after the patient's name. It's very sad. There can be lots of reasons why patients ar...

   princess2b replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

   lol at the oyster/baby in fridge by police story. Re: PG Tests: There is a big difference between urine and serum (qualitative and quantiative) hcg tests.

   Don't worry about tuition at private colleges and universities. They usually have some from of grant or tuition assistance that brings down the cost to the range of state college/university costs. HTH.

9. ER Pet Peeves

   princess2b replied to ERERER's topic in Emergency

   Patients that tell nurses the best veins, which kind of needle, and even bandage, probably are used to be stuck due to X medical reason and thus know their body best. Wrists are a more painful area for blood draws anyways. Now if the nurse has a ve...

11. ER Pet Peeves

    princess2b replied to ERERER's topic in Emergency

    It's inhuman, unprofessional, rude, unjust, and flat out illegal to discriminate and/or prejudge someone due to their health insurance (Medicaid). Frankly, everyone has the right to receive medical care and treatment without prejudgment and/or disc...
