You know I would say come on who would do that, but then I remember a GN giving lipids through a peripheral line, and not even piggybacked on anything. He got fired too, but he works in rehab now so...

I definitely share this sentiment (i.e. emotional reward of nursing). Pt's ask me all the time about how 'rewarding' it si to be a nurse. I have decided that the pefect answer is "its tough, but...

I am 100% on board with this. It is absolutely the truth. Although I do think experience does play a role I think staffing plays a bigger one.

I am glad you like your boss, but some of my 'old time bosses' couldn't be grandfathered out fast enough for me (and one in particular still isn't out).

As a nurse with a bachelors who knows of *several* shall I say sweet positions that I don't qualify for because I am a RN and not an LPN I can understand the appeal. If you become an RN, your role is...

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate the time and insight you have given. I am not impressed by magnet, based on my current exp. At my current hospital they say they are trying to achieve 'magnet...

I have been working as a RN in Florida for the past couple years, and in general my nursing experience can be described as a 3/10, not good. I have spent the last year on a Surgical/Trauma/Medical...

Your view is predicated on selfishness. You don't need it, so you don't want it to be be regulated. I don't need synthroid or BP pills. I guess if I had your point of view I don't think those should...

I am pretty certain shes not. 5 have quit since she posted.

Just to add something about the west florida hospitals, specifically TMH. Now in general about TMH, the cons are pretty simple. There is definately no such thing as a lift team. You are on your own,...

I think I would place finding a job as a higher priority then finishing the RN. You will be cutting yourself out of the jobs that only take LPN's by finishing the degree (i.e. outpatient clinics, MD...

More debt is not a reason to stay out of medical. Hospitals still offer loan repayments to MD (And I mean big loan repayment). If your lucky they might give you 2k as an RN for a 2 year commitment...

Thats a good thought. Just go somewhere where it is a better patient population. Sounds like my next hospital.

Its in some unionized hospital in california. I don't know if anywhere in Florida can met those criteria.

If you want to be advanced practice just skip the nursing. Go for Anestisiology Assistant or P.A. If all you are trying to do is use nursing as a stepping stone to something else it will just ****...

They are both bad. The only reason anyone gets hired at these hospitals is A. I have family in tallahassee and can't leave or B. I am a new grad and can't get a job anywhere else. ...

This is exactly the kind of mentality hospitals have towards nurses that makes it impossible to be human. We are treated as a liability that hospitals try to find ways to cover by upping the ratio,...

As a graduate of Florida Hospital College and a employee for 3 years. I will confirm that new is often looked at as better than old. Molly sees what she wants to see. I have known several friends who...
