You can always apply, the worst thing that can happen is you dont get the job. Are there any classes or the such on nurse recruiting? I havent seen any...but it might be good to look it up and google it.

Wow, that is terrible. Its hard sometimes to deal with things that hit close to home. Just wondering though your hospital practices....We work on a patient more than 15 minutes...and this was a kid...why didnt they code him longer?

I wanted to get some thoughts. I had a meeting with my manager recently over an email she received from one of the nurses rotating on charge duty. We dont have a regular charge nurse...everyone takes a turn. Anywho...My manager believed everything...

I am going to sign "I am signing that I received this memo, I am a team player and am willing to do my part in being a part of the team. However, I do not fully agree with certain things stated about me in this memo. After reading your comments I ma...

I am considering transferring to an MICU..They have a 12 hr 3night a week position open, vs a Home health agency full time position. They are offerring 54,000 a year which can soon go up to 58,000 yr. $45 extra per pt you go over in a day, $50/mont...

not yet, sounds cool though.

Good luck with what you do. I didnt mean to try to steer you away on purpose...i was reading my post lol. The Sandals poster had more luck with agency then I did. I work in Florida and you do get cancelled alot and I worked agency with more than ...

I have worked Agency for years and what they call FLEX for years. I now work Part time in an ICU and love it. Agency and the such is hard work. Depends on how many places you go to, but for me was hard. I noticed All the things people mentioned. ...

I am not having this pain, my mom is. I am a nurse and I am trying to figure out what her problem is. My mom has been having pain in her clitoris. She says she feels like if she could put a chip clip on it she almost feels like she could get relief.....

Actually she is on the generic version of Estrotest....not sure how long.... Thanks...could be it, who knows....thanks though

It sucks that you have inadequate help at your facility. Its an honest mistake you made trusting the CNA. I saw you said you had 42 patients. You should have assessed the pain yourself. Like I said, honest mistake. You need to report this staffi...

Oh wow...ok I wasnt asking for a diagnosis...I know nurses dont actually diagnose conditions. Was just asking opinions.

Some hospitals pay holiday pay and others dont..Just curious if yours is paying

They offer about 13 dollars an hour in florida just sitting there administering flu shots in a place like walmart...etc.....lol....and I thought that was cheap...hell no....11 dollars an hour is less than a CNA makes with no degree

I started at 11.76 an hour with no differential back in 1992....If we were back in the 80's maybe....but no way now with the minimum wage so high

I agree, no one should take abuse...I have in the past and I will not again...I speak up all the time when need be....I think most people tend not to say anything when they are "NEW", for fear basically...

What is the worst thing that could have happened if you said something? Do you actually think they would have fired you for supporting her? Why didnt you take the Tech aside and tell her that he was wrong for being the way he did and console her, w...

Wow, what a find...that is pretty cool

No its not illegal...it is ok to draw a patient now when there is a needle stick...without permission if there is already blood drawn and in the lab.

I am in Jacksonville Florida and depending on the hospital 17.50/18/hr for cheaper ones....and 21/22 per hour for state funded and one other. some places pay 3.25 nights diff, some 6.50 nite diff....some places pay $10.25 weekend diff...and others ...

The very last suggestion is a really nice thought out good one. I always though of going over to the poison control center. They are open 24 hours a day. Older nurses go there with all your knowledge and experience and get trained to do it. Patie...

Motorcyclemamma, these are just suggestions....For me....I really meant maybe pick up some prn home health work....Actually i did home health full time, I didnt like it at all, prn wasnt as stressful at all... Before anyone take a job they should re...

I work two hospitals...One gave us a 25 dollar gift card to Winn Dixie and the other gave a 10 dollar one

I work with a float pool too. I have worked for this pool for 3 years You do get cancelled a lot if you are Prn. You have to be very flexible. There are some units you will like and others you will not. I have put in some internal transfers and re...
