Email and phone calls work if you haven't met someone in person yet. Since you know both managers, stay after work and talk to your direct manager and go by the other hospital and request to talk to...

And I was just getting aggravated with Mrs. Jones about her insisting there was a dog walking around in scrubs. I tried to reorient her and even thought she might have been talking about you.

You have to have your associates in something in order to do a bsn program. Not sure if you have to have it in nursing, but the program I did only let me do it after I had my AA.

UWF and UCF offer online programs. Not sure where you are from, but those are the cheaper ones in Florida.

I'm 23 and the youngest person on my floor, whether it be the ICU or the floor across the hall. I was the third youngest in my nursing class, with almost everyone being late 20's to mid 40's. I...

We empty ours into the toilet. That's like placing a full foley into a trash bag.

I agree with this. Talk to her first. That may have been the 5th time that day she had to clean him up and she has other patients who would benefit more from her service. Granted, she should not...

We frequently have patients who are frequent fliers at my hospital. Pain med seekers often hospital hop. We have a problem with nursing homes sending us patients they simply do not want to have...

Med/surg tele. 5 to 6 pts days no more than 6 on nights (though if they are running really short-which rarely happens- then one person has 7). Our patients/patient load is usually so tough that if...

And this is a HIPAA violation, btw. It is one thing to want to understand different disease processes but it is another to go through charts on a patient when you don't need to know the information...

Did anyone else go What?!?! Please refer to OSHA's requirements. http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/etools/hospital/hazards/univprec/univ.html

Yes, I don't hardly ever tell my techs about things to do with my patients that they don't need to know. If I ask a nurse to start an IV for me, I don't tell her anything except the veins roll, or...

Since you really didn't say what you gotten written up for, its hard to assess what you can do. I would take an active approach and ask how I could improve. People are less likely to write you up...

My facility has to give us at least a 7 day heads up about mandatory overtime. I think its mainly because we are a huge hospital with the capabilities to float staff to make up for those missing. I...

I tell people who do that to please get out of the bed and I would be more than happy to get them a chair. If there is more than one of them and it is getting crowded and/or the family is not being...

Would you mind pming me or stating on here what hospital it is? I might be able to give some info depending on what hospital you are interviewing at.

Wake up, and think for yourself. Your employer is not your mommy. Maybe I was being a little sensitive but this last remark was not necessary. I appreciate them answering my question, but the...

Never said that it did. I just hope you never have a question that is answered as rudely as you did. Karma does exist though. Good luck to you and end of discussion.

I really don't appreciate this comment. Maybe your thought was that you were not being rude, but you, in fact, are. Basically calling me ignorant is not explaining anything to me. I, in fact,...

I heard from the lawyers at my hospital that having malpractice insurance is not a good idea because when someone sues, they sue whoever has the most potential for a high payout. And if you have...

Specialty, Orange Park, Baptist, and Brooks. Not too sure if they are hiring, but their websites will tell you more. =)

Haha, yes that's me! You sure you aren't stalking me? You sure do know a lot about me! Can you believe I am a charge nurse now? I feel like I was just a student! I used Worksource and was fresh...

I think the only hospitals actively hiring LPN's are Specialty and Shands (and Shands just became magnet, so I don't think they will be doing much coming up shortly).

An attending is above a resident. A resident is still considered to be in "training" and make considerably less than an attending, but you go to the resident before you contact the attending.

BSN's can teach ADN programs and ADN's can teach LPN programs. At least in Florida.
