   Hi all! I am starting to think about travel nursing. As I browse different agencies I realize there are a million lol. I would like to know who you guys travel with and pros and cons of your agency. Thanks!

3. What would you do in this situation? (If you know it all ;) )

   FL_Nurse92 replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

   You will already have a BP before meds are ever ordered. The first thing done when a pt. comes back to the room is hooking them up to the monitors. As far as a BMP, labs take up to an hour to result even when they are stat, so we usually don't wait u...

   I studied for close to a month before taking NCLEX. I believe I graduated May 9th and Tested June 6th.

5. Is there a time limit on taking the NCLEX

8. Kaplan Qbank vs Focused review tests

   FL_Nurse92 replied to Adrian-E's topic in NCLEX

   Doing both won't hurt. I think I did almost every qbank question and it helped tremendously when it came time for me to test!

9. Is age just a number?

   FL_Nurse92 replied to B52Bomber's topic in NP

   I would agree. I see it too often. People go back to school with less than a year of experience in a lot of cases

10. Is age just a number?

    FL_Nurse92 replied to B52Bomber's topic in NP

    Age is absolutely just a number. I actually have a friend that got into a DNP program before even graduating from undergrad surprisingly. She is 23 with only a year of nursing experience under her belt. I say go for it!

11. Thoughts of an ER Tech

    FL_Nurse92 replied to vregino36's topic in Emergency

    I just want to say thank you for doing what you do. I am an ER nurse and have the utmost respect for my ED techs. Where i work, ED techs play a HUGE roll! I can't thank you all enough for the IV starts and EKG completions before I even make it to the...

13. New ER RN- Normal to feel this way?

    FL_Nurse92 replied to nursebabyxoxo's topic in Emergency

    I am also new to the ER, I have 3 more weeks of orientation. Previously I was on a progressive care unit (ICU step down) for about a year and a half. Our ER nurse to patient ratio is 1:3-1:4. I couldn't imagine having 6 patients at a time to be hones...

14. Start career with CNA

    FL_Nurse92 replied to Monkey9x's topic in CNA/MA

    It's not a terrible idea, but at the same time it's not exactly necessary. I don't advise anyone to work during nursing school if they don't have to and as far as being a cna, its really not going to compare at all with being a nurse. I mean it will...
