1. I did a Google search, and my RN information and a bunch of other things are there?

   rumwynnieRN replied to rumwynnieRN's topic in General Nursing

   Yes it is. So I wonder about people who have restraining orders in place, and we see our fair share of crazy, and these aren't mentally ill patients. Just people who, if Arkham was real, probably need to be left there forever.

2. I did a Google search, and my RN information and a bunch of other things are there?

   rumwynnieRN replied to rumwynnieRN's topic in General Nursing

   I'm fairly certain the appropriate response would not be to like that, but I worry about that from time to time.

   I'm unchecking that option

4. I did a Google search, and my RN information and a bunch of other things are there?

   rumwynnieRN replied to rumwynnieRN's topic in General Nursing

   That is true, but I thought it was just really disconcerting with that particular result. Hey from one of the previous posters, I know now NOT to put my email. Good grief -_-; and yes, until I started working at the current hospital I'm at, I never w...

5. I did a Google search, and my RN information and a bunch of other things are there?

   rumwynnieRN posted a topic in General Nursing

   Let me preface this with yes I know this is the internet and you can find almost anything, BUT, since moving to Florida (I have no idea if this is uniquely a Florida thing or if other states have this issue, and if it is uniquely Florida, I don't min...

6. Being Ordered to Give Whiskey

   rumwynnieRN replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

   I've given beer. It's the cheapest option for where I work 😂

7. Tampa General or Bayfront?

   rumwynnieRN replied to heidi94's topic in Florida

   I work at TGH now. I can tell you now that no, TGH, unfortunately does pay as well as the other hospitals, BUT, you have more pros working at TGH. If you find a floor you really like in the acute care rotation program, you can apply and if you do wel...

8. Would you send this patient to the unit?

   rumwynnieRN replied to Birdy2's topic in Safety

   To answer your question about ICU-type pts being sent to the floor, the answer is yes, we've had that problem. It's easier now to make sure we don't get them with EPIC. I have mixed feelings about the ER not even bothering to call report (we have a p...

9. How to get experience?

   rumwynnieRN replied to Miss Infermiera2b's topic in General Nursing

   1) See if there's a nurse residency program at some of the hospitals. Those positions don't usually appear until around graduation time for the nursing schools. In some cities, you need to have a really good GPA and your interview would need to go we...

10. Atheist at Catholic hospital

    rumwynnieRN replied to kaydensmom01's topic in Spirituality

    I'm Catholic, and prior to my present job, I worked at Baptist affiliated hospital. Yes they had things like "We believe in the power of Christ, and we strive to live his message," but other than the daily "prayer/huddle" thing (which depending on wh...

11. Media a bit too invasive of nurse's personal info following her catching Ebola?

    rumwynnieRN replied to Blue Roses's topic in COVID

    What bothers me about the release of her information is that now, if she survives (which I hope), everyone or anyone who has been paying attention, will know her as the "Ebola Nurse." What with how "educated" our public is, future patients would be w...

12. shifts per week: 4 and 3 or 4 and 4?

    rumwynnieRN replied to tarotale's topic in General Nursing

    I do 4-3. At my previous job, I would do 4-4, but yeah, I agree the burnout is a lot faster when you work overtime a lot. At my current job, I've figured out this balance thing in my head -- one day off is too little, two to three days is preferable ...

13. Has being a nurse changed your outlook on...

    rumwynnieRN replied to richardgecko's topic in General Nursing

    I've always felt that way, and yeah, as someone before has said, my biggest fear is to be aware of what's going on but not be able to communicate. If I was told I had stage IV cancer, and it was incurable (after the second opinion), I'd say, "Okay, s...

14. I want my MSN, but...

    rumwynnieRN replied to rumwynnieRN's topic in Post Graduate

    They had the CNL at the university near my in-laws (which is where I live at the moment), but at the moment, they've stopped admissions. I'm happy with the responses I've gotten! Thanks everyone:)

15. Hospitals not accepting entry level nurses, new grads. What to do?

    rumwynnieRN replied to sheenmarie26's topic in Nevada

    During my orientation at the hospital I work in now, I found a lot of people were in the new grad program who were not from Florida -- a lot of them were from out of state. I wasn't a new grad when I started here. I moved to Florida from Arkansas (I...
