1. I've Been Employed at 7 Facilities as a New Grad RN

   kardz30 replied to Shookclays's topic in General Nursing

   Well, there are a lot of *** shows. There's also a lot of nurses with similar but maybe not as excessive experiences. You only have to adapt into whats reasonable for the scope of practice. Being asked to care for 65 patients is illegal as hell. Unle...

   kardz30 replied to Shookclays's topic in General Nursing

   No. There's no rule stating that you have to list every employer. In fact you won't ever get hired if you have a list like that on your resume. Don't sabotage the girl, it's not nice.

3. Legal obligation for disaster relief

   kardz30 replied to kardz30's topic in COVID

   Cool beans, only a few people actually said something specific instead of speaking to generalities and without going off topic. ORBSN, Jedrnurse, thanks for the answers. Muno, I don't know what condition of my nursing license obligates me to work mor...

4. Legal obligation for disaster relief

   kardz30 posted a topic in COVID

   I belong to a level 2 trauma center in florida. I've had my arm twisted into a "disaster relief team". I've been told that I will remain in the hospital for 1-2 days, possibly more. That I am not allowed to go home or leave. That I must stay within t...

5. Q about OR experience in a few aspects

   kardz30 posted a topic in Career Support

   I couldn't post this under specialties, it wouldn't let me. So I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong area. I am a BSN RN. I have an offer for an OR slot at a prestigious teaching hospital. I haven't nursed terribly much, 6mo in the ER before...

   Pericare but continue as normal. Use the betadine swabs thoroughly. Exercise careful sterile technique as best as possible. In the real world with patients moving and being difficult absolute sterility is often not possible. People do clean technique...

8. Most exotic places to nurse

   kardz30 posted a topic in General Nursing

   I'm looking for people to share their experiences about the most exotic places to nurse and if it was worth the wage/experience of living in such a place to move. I've thought about throwing my license out there in/around south florida, key west, Haw...

9. Background check questions

   kardz30 replied to kardz30's topic in Criminal

   Many assume if you are arrested/charged you are guilty even if dropped/acquitted. There's a period of time to seal/expunge the record of like 6months. Likewise, it's not necessarily deleted everywhere. Private databases continue to hold the informati...

10. It seems like everyone but nurses make more money

    kardz30 replied to rearviewmirror's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly any profession that requires a license and is regulated probably has a lot of potential to make money. Doctors and surgeons don't do it by being hospitalists. They do it by contracting and private practice. Lawyers don't do it by being prose...

11. Background check questions

    kardz30 posted a topic in Criminal

    Had an ex really attempt to drag my life through the dirt and made plenty of false accusations. I have no convictions on my record but I am concerned about arrests. I know AHCA (FL) and BoN will see my arrests and all that, but how deep do employers ...

13. RN salary expectations

    kardz30 replied to Ashtimus Prime's topic in General Nursing

    I started out at 23.50 in Ocala, FL which is kind of country but not super rural. Small city status, but not considered a town/village. 22 is not pushing it at all but some of these places low ball nurses and/or try to lock them into contracts. Shop ...
