  1. Tampa/W. Coast Students Roll Call!

    NURSJADED replied to Nashima's topic in Florida Nursing

    Galen is in a huge growing phase right now. They have recently gotten their permanent accreditation and are increasing their class size. They're probably just a bit overwhelmed. They also give very...

  2. *sigh* How Many Times a Week Do You Say No?

    NURSJADED replied to NursingAgainstdaOdds's topic in General Nursing

    BWAHAHAHA!! I've got to use that

  3. Harassment?

    NURSJADED replied to UM Review RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Doesn't sound much like "team playing" if the team didn't get to come up with the exercise. Maybe they (facility) could fork over the bucks to buy everyone the same colored (not white) tops with the...

  4. ? About Good Pay Rates For Seattle/tacoma As Travler

    NURSJADED replied to tmdidio27's topic in Travel

    For what area? Med surg? Tele? ICU? By the way, I just came back from a visit to that area.

  5. Visiting Hours

    NURSJADED posted a topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Just curious, what are the visiting hours in your unit and how well are they enforced? Our old DON would never stand behind us when we tried to enforce our visiting hours and our new DON would like...

  6. What does "provisional" status mean?

    NURSJADED replied to centralflorida's topic in Florida Nursing

    Just a side note, many of the state colleges have "provisional status" on some of their programs. It just means that they have a process to go through, certain amount of graduates have to pass...

  7. Art lines in the ED

    NURSJADED replied to debi1rn's topic in Emergency

    You mean all that should happen in the ER right? Cuz all it does is cause problems in ICU. There are no docs hanging around in

  8. Art lines in the ED

    NURSJADED replied to debi1rn's topic in Emergency

    Which is really too bad. You have the Doc's down there to do it. I dread when we get a patient into ICU who's got order for gtts, ABTS, IVF, blood transfusions, stat and one angiocath in the only...

  9. LPN's in Florida Hospitals

    NURSJADED replied to clarissairene's topic in Florida Nursing

    They go through phases here in Florida where they try to phase them out but there aren't enough RNs to go around and eventually they hire more

  10. ALL About Staffing - HCA hospitals

    NURSJADED replied to michnurse12's topic in Travel

    Some of these hospitals will push the limits of safety and ethics, and they don't have to care if something bad happens during an unsafe patient assignment because they can legally put all of the...

  11. ALL About Staffing - HCA hospitals

    NURSJADED replied to michnurse12's topic in Travel

    No, but it is a great area! I have family over in Port St Lucie, but none of them are medical personnel so I don't know how the hospital systems are. Its a strange area in that there are a lot of...

  12. ALL About Staffing - HCA hospitals

    NURSJADED replied to michnurse12's topic in Travel

    We did just vote the union in this year. Of course, negotiations are not going well and there is talk of a one-day strike. I'm sure it will be a long time before there are any improvements in...

  13. ALL About Staffing - HCA hospitals

    NURSJADED replied to michnurse12's topic in Travel

    All the "good members" are leaving, including myself. Three patients a piece in ICU (Vents, gtts, swans.. doesn't matter to them) no aides, no secretaries, no monitor techs. You can only do so...

  14. ALL About Staffing - HCA hospitals

    NURSJADED replied to michnurse12's topic in Travel

    I've worked for HCA for 10 years. The pay is good regardless of how loyal you are to them. They pay based on years experience. Just know that 90% of the time you will work short-staffed. 30% of...

  15. Tips for looking more professional

    NURSJADED replied to kukukajoo's topic in General Nursing

    Just FYI, they're the same thing. Bare Minerals is produced by Bare Essentuals. Check and see if you have a Sephora store near you or you can get them on the QVC website. I prefer Sephora, then I...

  16. Hello Mr. VIP! I'm your servant nurse for the night!

    NURSJADED replied to SICU Queen's topic in General Nursing

    Nope, nope, nope. What I tell the charge nurse/supervisor/whoever is that this patient will get as good care as my other patients, (who are just as important to ME) and they will NOT have any special...

  17. religion in the workplace

    NURSJADED replied to elrondaragorn's topic in General Nursing

    I think its just a matter of being where/when/what you're patient needs at the time. There's nothing wrong with asking your patient if they'd like you to pray with them. They'll say no, if they don't...

  18. Where Is The Worst place to work in Florida?

    NURSJADED replied to MsMorningGlory's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hands down, any HCA facility. Stick to Baycare. Their facilities are usually considered magnet status in the top 100 places to work. HCA is just getting worse by the

  19. Name hospital and salary--everywhere

    NURSJADED replied to mistydave's topic in General Nursing

    West Coast of Florida. Currently an LPN in ICU I make $22/hr per diem. I have 10 years experience and have been offered $25.50/hr to stay on when I graduate in August. However.... the staffing at...

  20. Returning wasted blood to a line?

    NURSJADED replied to aquaphoneRN's topic in MICU, SICU

    Personally, I think the high infection rate on central lines is more likely due to Nurse's giving IVPs through ports in the line that have been laying under the pt, hanging on the floor, etc., without...

  21. Any Tampa RNs??

    NURSJADED replied to Riker3's topic in Florida Nursing

  22. "Higher level Medical institute"(LPN program)??

    NURSJADED replied to flower2007's topic in Florida Nursing
