1. Why don't you just read the chart?

   lmrn13 replied to Guest219794's topic in Relations

   For the same reason that an ED RN will document "Awake, alert and oriented x 3" when the patient can barely tell you their own name. Or document that skin is intact when they know they haven't looked thoroughly. Plus is it not possible that you could...

   lmrn13 replied to Jen_Jen88's topic in Florida

   My friend got a job at Florida Hospital in Orlando a few months after graduating from our BSN Program. She got in at the ICU but there is a 2-3 yr contract she has to finish out there. Yes I'm in the Miami area and competition is insane here. I think...

5. Examples of ethical dilemmas in pediatric nursing?

   lmrn13 replied to jen0415's topic in Student Assist

   I remember doing a rotation in the Pedi ER during nursing school, and we were treating a frequent flyer. She was a teenage girl with cancer receiving chemo, and my preceptor told me that although she had no insurance, her parents would bring her to t...

6. LPN in FL, failed pre-employment drug screen..What will happen now?!

   lmrn13 replied to florida_orange's topic in Recovery

   Congrats but I agree... never do that again. I just had a drug screen this week and the nurse told me that they can test you at any time!! At my facility if you so much as cut your finger they'll send you to employee health for a drug screen and if y...

7. I just don't understand

   lmrn13 replied to Jinx322's topic in New Nurse

   I am a new grad as well, and have been looking for a job in South FL since last July when I passed NCLEX!! I have my BSN AND a Bachelors in Health Science and it still took me a ridiculous amount of time to find a job. I only recently got hired for a...

8. Relocating to South Florida from NYC

   lmrn13 replied to Ladyt03's topic in Florida

   I have spoken to several associate degree nurses who have gone waaaaay longer than 6 months. As for myself, I went almost 10. And I think I'm pretty well educated with two bachelors degrees (health science and nursing). I also have additional certifi...

9. Relocating to South Florida from NYC

   lmrn13 replied to Ladyt03's topic in Florida

   I'm not telling you NOT to move to South Fl... I'm just telling you to do your research and not be disillusioned so there aren't any big shocks when you get here. Visiting a place and living there are very different. And I definitely recommend starti...

    lmrn13 replied to nekozuki's topic in Private Duty

12. Fall in the ED!

    lmrn13 replied to wearelegion83's topic in Emergency

    I start a new grad residency in March and honestly my biggest fear is that I make a mistake or someone gets hurt. I'm sure everyone goes through these feelings but it's so intimidating!!

13. Fall in the ED!

    lmrn13 replied to wearelegion83's topic in Emergency

    The thing is idk what I would've done in those situations. I mean the ED is obviously not 1-1 so you have other patients to care for. Maybe you should've gotten a tech to assist them in the bathroom? And as far as the seizure pt idk.... I mean you sa...

14. Pre-Nurse interested in MSN

    lmrn13 replied to nursepve21's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I know that my instructors in nursing school discouraged going straight into an NP program without experience as a bedside nurse. Bedside nursing teaches you a lot. My instructors told me that they had seen MSNs and NPs working as bedside nurses beca...

15. Fall in the ED!

    lmrn13 replied to wearelegion83's topic in Emergency

    Wow that's extremely unfortunate. I'm a new grad and I haven't started working yet so I probably can't provide too much advice. I guess all you can do is tell your side of the story, be truthful and hope for the best. Definitely update after the meet...
