  1. And if we catch you smoking you'll be charge $25

    SunshineBaby replied to Manatee111's topic in General Nursing

    Another user who quotes something as fact and then can't back it up LOL. Ok please link the study where it looked at LUNG CANCER. When you state something the burden of proof is on you, my friend....

  2. And if we catch you smoking you'll be charge $25

    SunshineBaby replied to Manatee111's topic in General Nursing

    Could you please link this study because I just don't buy it. First off, many people who are heavy marijuana smokers are also cigarette smokers. How are you to determine which was the cause of the...

  3. Poor nurses

    SunshineBaby replied to gettingbsn2msn's topic in General Nursing

    Well considering I'm a one income family and only make about $1800 a month with a BSN. Yeah, it's a lot. I wouldn't have insurance at all if it cost $700 a month! I'm not here to get into a *******...

  4. Poor nurses

    SunshineBaby replied to gettingbsn2msn's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm....didn't read like that to me. "I am just pointing out it can be done with careful sacrifice of what is truly non-essential" However, it's hard to read someone's intention on the internet so I...

  5. Is it worth it??

    SunshineBaby replied to marty6001's topic in General Nursing

    I'm the first to admit, I don't love nursing. I never had a calling to be a nurse but instead, chose nursing because I was a single mom at the time and thought it was a stable job, with decent money,...

  6. Poor nurses

    SunshineBaby replied to gettingbsn2msn's topic in General Nursing

    Just want to say you don't know everyone's situation. Not everyone who is tight financially is out spending money on Disney vacations and expensive clothes. I, myself, have a very ill mother I care...

  7. Poor nurses

    SunshineBaby replied to gettingbsn2msn's topic in General Nursing

    Nurses definitely make that little in my area of Fl so I sympathize. There is no weekend diff, no specialty diff, no holiday pay. The highest PRN commitment at my hospital only pays $25 an hour. They...

  8. Fed up with Stupid Parents

    SunshineBaby replied to TXPediNurse's topic in General Nursing

    OP, I totally sympathize with everything you said. I currently work newborn nursery and I see it all the time. How many times do I have to tell someone that they have to wake their baby up to feed it?...

  9. New Grad - Offering to Work for Minimum Wage?

    SunshineBaby replied to Music in My Heart's topic in General Nursing

    Where are you working that you need 6 months to 1 year orientation? I went straight into NICU out of school and only got 12 weeks orientation. I thought most orientations were only 6 weeks long. In my...

  10. Quit after first day of orientation!

    SunshineBaby replied to FLg8r's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not going to flame you by any means but I do want to say that in nursing you need to be careful about burning bridges, even if you choose not to stay in this field. You never know who you might...

  11. 8 Months of Postpartum, now going into PHN (Maternity)

    SunshineBaby replied to KetuUCF's topic in Public, Community Health

    Sure, no problem. School health is really great! In my county, we have a nurse and tech in every school. The tech's main job is to see the children in the clinic and defer to the RN if it is something...

  12. 8 Months of Postpartum, now going into PHN (Maternity)

    SunshineBaby replied to KetuUCF's topic in Public, Community Health

    Hi there and Congratulations on the new job! I work for FL DOH as well. Will you be seeing actual patients in a clinic setting? My job is more like social work. I work in the Healthy Start program,...

  13. Pensacola?? LPN Grad in July and moving there!

    SunshineBaby replied to stephierd81's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hi Stephanie! Congratulations on your graduation and upcoming move. I am not sure of LPN salaries here as I'm an RN, BSN. I now work community health but when I was at the hospital (2007) I was paid...

  14. question about school nursing

    SunshineBaby replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    In my area school nurses are contracted to be in schools by the health department. We have standing orders for things such as tylenol, benadryl, tums, ibuprofen, etc. All can be given with signed...

  15. what is your preferred shift?

    SunshineBaby replied to ajaxgirl's topic in General Nursing

    8-5 M-F, all weekends off and no major holidays! I like living like the rest of the world. Guess I can never leave public health

  16. How often do you get sick?

    SunshineBaby replied to Flare's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe because I've only been a nurse a couple of years or because I work with peds but I get sick during every season. Last December I had strep throat and then bronchitis. This year, I got pink eye...

  17. Your a nurse--You should know better!!

    SunshineBaby replied to racing-mom4's topic in General Nursing

    I have no idea why nurses always feel the need to point out how inferior another nurses' judgment is. I'm a school nurse and I've had parent's in the health care field do the same to me. Kudos to you...

  18. Why Does Everyone Hate Florida So Much??

    SunshineBaby replied to natkoz82's topic in Florida Nursing

    SunshineBaby replied to Aneroo's topic in School

  20. Fake Illness

    SunshineBaby replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    I agree with schoolnurseBSN. Now, my kids are elementary (PK-5) so they do not have phones so I don't have that problem. I disagree with the thought that the school nurse should call every child's...

  21. Nurses salary vrs teacher's salary

    SunshineBaby replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    I feel like I have a unique perspective on this issue as being a school nurse I work with 45 teacher's daily. It's funny because many times they will tell me they wish they had become a nurse and lots...

  22. Why Does Everyone Hate Florida So Much??

    SunshineBaby replied to natkoz82's topic in Florida Nursing

    I will shout it from the rooftops that I extremely dislike FL. I can only speak on the area in which I live, Northwest Florida. I have lived many different places (military brat) and this has been my...

  23. School Health Room Log

    SunshineBaby replied to pugmomrn's topic in School

    We are paper free as well and use a program called Health Office. Absolutely love it! I could not imagine having to keep logs of paper. We can view trends, every visit a child has had, screenings,...

  24. School Nurse jobs

    SunshineBaby replied to Nursinghaze's topic in School

    I'm a school nurse in FL. Look on peoplefirst which you can find on myflorida.com. In my area, we are state employees contracted by the local health department to be in the school. Let me know if you...

  25. Nurses who smoke marijuana

    SunshineBaby replied to e4c5's topic in General Nursing

    I come from the school of addictive personality v. addictive substance. I used to smoke pot as a teen. I could easily take it or leave it. I never got into trouble. In fact, I got straight A's in...
