1. Where do you float?

   NurseAngie replied to flowerpowerntx's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I work in a women's and children's hospital, and we float to NICU, the high risk OB unit to care for the PP patients, GYN patients, and also to the main hospital to "sit" or tech.

2. Is this reasonable or just over the top?

   NurseAngie replied to Lakeshore18's topic in General Nursing

   Would you mind clarifying what you mean by "indifference"? I don't want to assume your point. Thank you.

3. Military Spouse - Confused about what path to take to become RN

   NurseAngie replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

   I graduated from Trident Tech's LPN-ADN program while my husband was active duty stationed in Charleston in 2007 and had multiple job offers. It's a great place for a nursing career! I would recommend the ADN program over the LPN program if your goal...

   NurseAngie replied to cjcsoon2bnp's topic in General Nursing

   I told them I would do BOTH breast feeding and formula feeding during my admission to both L&D and the Postpartum units. I had a good experience doing this.

5. Should I leave this racist town?

   NurseAngie replied to ChutneyFries's topic in Relations

   I am sorry to this is happening to you. I had a very similar experience in Memphis (my hometown). I was one of three white nurses and the other two left within my first few weeks of employment, so I didn't know them well. I was really sad about the ...

7. Question: Specialty pay for Labor & Delivery nursing?

   NurseAngie replied to LaborRN3's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I received specialty pay when I worked L&D. Nursery also received specialty pay, but postpartum did not. I'm in Middle Tennessee. I am just starting at a hospital in the Nashville area in January and they do not offer specialty pay for mother/bab...

8. Neonatal NP??

   NurseAngie replied to Road2CNO's topic in NP Students

   Try applying for a position in the normal newborn nursery (NBN). Once you're in and have experience (my previous hospital required 6 months), then you may transition to NICU. Hope this helps!

9. Flunked!!!

   NurseAngie replied to rnmomtobe2010's topic in General Nursing

   Can she try the RN program at the technical college? I'm from Memphis, but I haven't lived there in a long time. A lot of my friends went to UT back when they had a BSN program, but I believe that's a masters program now. I don't think the hospitals ...

10. Calling in sick??

    NurseAngie replied to LUVtxNursing's topic in General Nursing

    To the OP...I can relate...I have had to miss on several occasions because my toddler has been sick a lot too thanks to daycare. I'm so lucky to have a supervisor that is understanding and supportive. She cares for her elderly mother and is a mom her...

11. What is your job?

    NurseAngie replied to mgalloLPN's topic in LPN/LVN

    AND CORRECTIONS! I currently work at the county jail (and worked at a county jail in Virginia before moving here) and I really like it. I earn a fair wage ($690 wk. before taxes at 40 hrs. a week...you do the math) and the job is not difficult. I see...

12. NCLEX was not easy

    NurseAngie replied to flwannaB's topic in LPN/LVN

    I didn't think it was easy when I took it. I passed with 85 questions also.

13. When do you say enough is enough?

    NurseAngie replied to halinurse's topic in LPN/LVN

    My goodness, I am probably NOT the person to offer advice. I worked LTC for a total of 6 weeks, it just wasn't for me. I currently work at a county jail and I LOVE it in comparison. If you do not feel that your new job is the one for you, then maybe ...

14. Any LPN's in Charleston..I'm looking to move

    NurseAngie replied to SouthernPeach3's topic in South Carolina

    I noticed that your post is a couple of months old, but I wanted to mention that corrections is an interesting place to work. I'm a LPN and I currently work at the Chas. Co Detention Center (County jail) and I previously worked at Henrico Co. Jail in...

    NurseAngie replied to Nikki22's topic in South Carolina

    Hi from Charleston! I'm here with my Navy hubby for the second time in his career. I've been here since May '04 and I like it a lot. I'm currently a LPN working at the Charleston Co. Detention Center (the county jail) and I'm due to graduate from Tri...
