  1. Anyone else dealing with this?

    Thankfully I do have my home health job. I just hate to jump ship so soon. I wish they had told me they scheduled like this when they hired me.
  2. Anyone else dealing with this?

    I just started a new job at a LTC/Rehab facility. Currently I am part time and I'm certain they want me to make the switch to full time soon. I also work with a home health agency prn. For a few months now the LTC has been over-scheduling 2 nurses a...
  3. Feeling like a job hopper!

    Recently I had to leave my full time job due to a company wide pay cut. While updating my résumé I felt the same way because I've had several prn jobs and temporary jobs. My feeling on job hopping is this: employers are no longer loyal to their emplo...
  4. Help me brainstorm!

    I think that is where he gets the $1000 every month. Sadly it is not enough. He also has a bowel program in addition to his 5-6 caths a day. He has been fighting this for 6 months now to no avail. He applied for the Medicaid waiver program but the wa...
  5. Help me brainstorm!

    His insurance did not drop him completely, just his home health AND his supplies. He does not qualify for Medicaid or Medicare because he is 32 and works full time. The state gives him $1000 a month to help with expenses but he has to use that for th...

  7. Florida nursing shortage?

    When I say Orlando, I don't mean the tourist area or even downtown. There are cities outside of the city that do not have the traffic problems you described. I live in Sanford, Fl. I am close enough to Orlando to enjoy the attractions but far enough ...
  8. Florida nursing shortage?

    I suppose it depends on what part of Florid you are looking. I live in the Orlando area and I promise you there are many jobs and little to no competition. LPNs occasionally work in the hospital here but most are grandfathered in. The retirement comm...
  9. It finally happened to me..

    Thanks everyone for the well wishes. I suffered a concussion from the air bag and whiplash. It is my third concussion is 8 years so you can say I'm a pro at recovery
  10. It finally happened to me..

    Every day that I drive to and from work I take a particular commuter road I like to call the Redneck Raceway. You can bet there is a daily accident that backs traffic up for miles. Driving on this road is dangerous. I always told my spouse "one of th...
  11. Is nursing in Florida (Miami) really as bad as it sounds?

    If you don't know spanish or creole it will be very hard to perform your job effectively, and some places won't even consider hiring you in Miami. Same is becoming true of Orlando. I have a friend who works L&D in Miami and she makes $27.25 with ...
  12. Working with interstitial cystitis. is it possible?

    My mother was a dialysis nurse when she was first diagnosed about 10 years ago with IC. She was terminated for reasons she doesn't fully understand but probably has something to do with frequent bathroom trips and missing work for MD apts and to go t...
  13. Paramedics rank higher than LPNs?

    Why does it have to be a competition? We should all work as a TEAM. Not to mention that the jobs are different and BOTH important. Paramedics keep them alive long enough to get to the ER and nurses help finish the healing process. Where I am from the...
