    What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    caroladybelle replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    You, and all of us, probably do pay the bill. Medicare, medicaid, increases in insurance premiums, or the hospital having to write it off, as it will not be reimbursed....it all comes back to

    new RN jobs in Fla?

    caroladybelle replied to Dino's topic in Florida Nursing

    As I previously pointed out, PAY IS LOW ACROSS THE Board in Florida. And nurses have not had their salary cuts - it has always been consistantly low. Florida also has difficulty attracting MDs and...

    Where Is The Worst place to work in Florida?

    caroladybelle replied to MsMorningGlory's topic in Florida Nursing

    Dino, please see my post to your other thread. I would say the worst place to work as a nurse would be the WPB area. Those people are rich and crazy and not in a good way. I did a 13 week assignment...

    Patient requesting to use adult briefs during colonoscopy, rather than cath?

    caroladybelle replied to Pplexed's topic in General Nursing

    Pharm ??? again

    caroladybelle replied to nursejackie2010's topic in General Nursing

    If the question "did not seem right" then this should have been addressed to your instructor. Surely more students than you would have a question about it and they need to be made aware of the...

    Where are all of the "experienced nurses hiding?"

    caroladybelle replied to SWS RN's topic in General Nursing

    They frequently come for: - Medical advice - how to advise their DHs on choosing careers. - to tell us how mean the nurses were at Daddy's NH, Mom's hospice, and whether they have any right to sue....

    caroladybelle replied to bel16's topic in Nursing Career

    With respect, Ma'am, you do not need to post multiple threads - one will suffice. Most nurses pull up the last 24 hrs worth of threads, and will see yours. Several things, is your daughter going to...

    When does your salary go up??

    caroladybelle replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    Things to remember. When you graduate from Nursing school, you have not "interned". That means, you have a whole lot of book knowledge and a certain amount of clinical experience, but are far from...

    caroladybelle replied to southernhospitality's topic in General Nursing

    Low urine OP does not necessarily mean renal failure, especially in an older pt who may not be drinking enough. Plus there are plenty of renal failure patients that void a great deal. I would have...
