    LadyNASDAQ replied to luv4nursing's topic in Florida Nursing

  2. travel jobs in California

    LadyNASDAQ replied to lawiti's topic in Travel

    I think you have to decide which part of Calif. you want to go to. I love LA. It's crowded and it has lots to offer but everyone is different. I also have some family there so that makes a huge...

  4. Quit my job for agency.

    LadyNASDAQ replied to Billy5949's topic in Agency Nurses

    I know it's past Christmas but what you should do is work local agency without a contract and stay with family or friends. Higher pay and also max flexibility. If you think you want to contract, do...

  5. How do you know if Agency Nursing is for you?

    LadyNASDAQ replied to Fancy Face's topic in Agency Nurses

  7. anyone not like nursing before they started? or needed to choose?

    LadyNASDAQ replied to davoni444's topic in Nursing Career

    I think you should explore your options outside of nursing. This is a profession that is hard on you, very frustrating but I still am in love with it. I also know that the icky crap as you call it is...

  8. Pay differential for ICU, CCRN, BSN

    LadyNASDAQ replied to ccrnjen's topic in MICU, SICU

    It goes by experience and not by degrees. It goes by what the job entails. My ASN is about 25 years old. Prior to that, I was a LPN. So.... 28 yrs. as a Nurse. If I went on staff, I just checked this...

  11. Difference between travel and agency??

    LadyNASDAQ replied to nursern20's topic in Agency Nurses

    I do both travel nursing and agency nursing. Travel nursing is contracted with very little input for a schedule from the nurse to the hospital. They expect that you fulfill the contract with excellent...

    LadyNASDAQ replied to oostarglowos's topic in General Nursing

    Ask your friend to try the CORE Plan by Weight Watchers. It works. I have incorporated that Plan with an earlier Plan called the Freedom Plan. Just give it one more

  13. Another Thread for Gas-Passers

    LadyNASDAQ replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    I am not laughing and I am very concerned for you. Something is not right and if I had this problem, I would be at my Dr.'s office, quickly. I just lost an Aunt to Crohn's disease. This disease...

    LadyNASDAQ replied to allthingsbright's topic in MICU, SICU

    Hopefully this will be your best advice... take a look at the Unit. Who is struggling, which patient is crashing what is going on???? You offer to call a Dr. You offer to go get a stat needed item...

  15. Need your input please!

    LadyNASDAQ replied to IamRN's topic in MICU, SICU

    I disagree with everyone!!!! What I do is I call the MD. That is it! I will go over every med on that darn mAR including any IV fluids. Don't you dare back yourself in a corner. With 2 minutes talking...

  16. why no responses to my post

    LadyNASDAQ replied to cathytoday's topic in Nursing Career

    I started out as a LPN at age 19 1/2 and licensed. Went back for my RN a few years later. I kick myself because I should have gone to Pharmacy school,

  17. Dear Nurse Manager

    LadyNASDAQ replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree that you should have had an exit interview. This is because you could have possibly worked out the problems and then you would decide if you wanted to stay or not. I am seeing that there...

  18. Dangerous patient ratios

    LadyNASDAQ replied to LoriPRN's topic in Travel

    Lori: Just left there last month after 26 weeks. You have to have skills with a thick skin to work there. My Recruiter still can't believe I took 26 weeks there and did well. I just have the art to...

  19. Citrus Memorial in Inverness FL

    LadyNASDAQ replied to LoriPRN's topic in Travel

    I am from Florida. I know from others that that facility is a nice one. It's a cute, small town and if you are a friendly, helpful individual, you should do great. It's a very southern place so...

    LadyNASDAQ replied to tukoo's topic in Travel

  21. What State Should We Call 'Home'?

    LadyNASDAQ replied to live4today's topic in General Nursing

  22. AA or BS degree

    LadyNASDAQ replied to mrsabradford's topic in General Nursing

    No pay scale difference in most jobs which degree you possess. I feel that you are always paid strictly by the years of experience you have but I'm the last one to knock a BSN which I do highly...

  23. Travel vs Agency nursing

    LadyNASDAQ replied to tukoo's topic in Travel

    We real Travelers have the option of extending or not extending. I chose to extend and I stayed longer. It seems to impress Recruiters a lot to tell them I have extended and I have been told that the...

  24. Travel vs Agency nursing

    LadyNASDAQ replied to tukoo's topic in Travel
