  1. How old were you. when you become RN?

    I was 21.
  2. For all of those on Medicaid

    In LTC, the Medicaid patients are the ones that demand all my attention and complain about everything. Nothing is ever right at the facility I work at but they wont leave either. So I agree that they single themselves out.
  3. Considering Move to Naples Area

    Also should have told you-I did not work for an agency but I was employed by NCH. So pretty much the same as being a regular employee but only worked 6-9 months out of the year.
  4. Considering Move to Naples Area

    I was a seasonal at NCH several years ago. I don't know that one hospital is better than the other in the area. I do miss living there. Loved living within walking distance of the beach. I would go back in a second but my husband likes his job at the...
  5. Do we work at the same place?!?
  6. Inhumane Treatments

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

    What floor did you work at NCH? was there as a traveler on 4NE in 2002. I thought the facility was clean and Dr.'s were respectful but the work was backbreaking. Wouldn't commit to another season there.
  11. "I'll Tell The Nurse" (vent)

    Want to know if the local weatherman is gay? Ask the nurse. One of my colleagues actually got called into a patient room to answer that question.
  12. New DON cleaning house

    Regarding nurse to resident ratio's in LTC, there is just not the money available to provide more staff. Lots of medicaid patients and the reimbursement sometimes doesn't cover the cost of care. For example, in the facility that I work in we have one...
