   We're seeing a serious reduction in new admissions lately at my hospital. My floor actually has been shut down for low census and we're down to one acute adult floor and one geriatric floor. When I last worked about five days ago we had stopped allow...

   LaurenJulia posted a topic in COVID

   Hello everyone, I'm wondering if anyone not working in specialty areas seeing COVID19 has any ideas on how we can be helping out our nurses who are seeing these patients? I'm a psychiatric nurse and right now my population is staying out of the hospi...

   Dang, they changed them. I thought I was getting a really good deal. Thank you for posting! In your experience, can we get by with just the top and plain black scrub pants? I already have plenty of those, and $50 is just crazy!

   Does anyone know what the uniforms look like this year? I found a couple of white scrubs tops with the UCF logo at Goodwill and snapped them up, but I don't know if that was a mistake.

    I'm Cocoa bound!!! Is there anyone who lives in Brevard county already who would like to meetup? It'd be nice to start school with friends.

    Thank you for calling!! Does anyone else wonder why this process takes so long? If they only go by our GPA, pre-req GPA, and TEAs score, it seems like a computer program could determine which stats were the best.

    LaurenJulia replied to Joyful14's topic in Florida

    I'm sure they're used to it by now. I know people call every year. My personal guess is we won't hear this week. If the past few years are any indication, we'll be lucky if we hear back by October 10th.

    We're so close to decision date! Tomorrow is the first day we could feasibly get an answer (first buisness day after the six weeks from application cutoff). I'm going crazy!!

15. CNA while working full time?!

    LaurenJulia replied to ScienceTeacher's topic in CNA/MA

    If you are actually out of work at 3, in some long term care and assisted living facilities second shift runs from 3-11. You could also work weekends, easy. They always need weekends. I think home health care is more flexible as well.
