  1. My Story...Long...

    Cherybaby posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    I searched the entire thread of Nurses with Disabilities and after doing so, decided that my home is here. Here is my story...briefly. Last year, in June, I fell asleep one night on the job after...

  2. NCLEX...What to Bring???

    Cherybaby posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am certain this has probably been mentioned in another thread. Maybe we should make this a sticky or something, 'cause I know I am not the first person to wonder this. What should you bring with...

  3. Is it True About Florida?

    Cherybaby replied to RN <><'s topic in General Nursing

    I hear this rumor every few years or so. Nothing has ever come of it. Haven't heard anything from the Florida Board of Nursing to confirm any such thing. I wouldn't worry about

  4. Terrified of killing my patients/making mistakes/missing something important

    Cherybaby replied to Lola77's topic in First Year After Licensure

    What you are experiencing is completely normal. If any nurse ever tells you she/he did not feel stress during their first few months on a floor...they are fibbing to ya! It's very overwhelming to...

  5. Any nj nurse on ramp?? Question

    Cherybaby replied to ercrazy's topic in Nurses Recovery

    What is

  6. Recreational THC = now starting IPN!

    Cherybaby replied to Honest&Hopeful&Hur's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Don't depend too much on the education route. It is something that IPN "offers", yet in my year and a half experience with the Nursing Board (of Florida), IPN and IOP programs...i have yet to see it...

  7. Oakhill Hospital, brooksville

    Cherybaby replied to Lanegirl's topic in General Nursing

    I worked for their sister hospital, Spring Hill Regional, for many years. Oakhill hospital is a wonderful hospital...though it gets a bad rap for some reason. They have always been open to hiring...

  8. Dingy Barney

    Cherybaby replied to tatara's topic in General Nursing

    That was a beautiful tribute to your beloved sister. Made me tear up. Thank you for sharing that

  9. Pre- employment drug testing

    Cherybaby replied to VM85's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Absolutely no offense taken. Everyones experience with IPN and the Nursing Board varies greatly. So far, my experience with them has been positive. However, I have seen other nurses go through real...

  10. I'm Worried

    Cherybaby replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    Keep up that worry and you will be on the receiving end of one of your own exams! :) You're probably doing just fine. If you weren't, someone would have said something to you by now. They are giving...

  11. Would you have done this differently?

    Cherybaby replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, but when you brought that "weakness" in for comparison, you are now opening the door for a lot of other people to get written up. You might not have meant it as a way of reporting people, but...

  12. Would you have done this differently?

    Cherybaby replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

    I absolutely would not have done this. You made a mistake. Own it. Don't drag other people into it. I think that if you were truly more concerned about the error being made as opposed to the fact...

  13. If you have rec' d the H1N1 vaccine - please report

    Cherybaby replied to CrunchRN's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't get it due to allergies, but my daughter who is 6 months pregnant received it with no side effects. My son tested positive for h1n1 three weeks ago, so is no longer eligible for the vaccine....

  14. When A Nurse Can't Offer a Hug...

    Cherybaby posted a topic in General Nursing

    Once upon a time, I ran into a nurse who was with a woman who was crying because she recently lost a child. The woman was obviously in some desperate need of compassion and care. I said to this...

  15. Would I still be considered as a new nurse after a year?

    Cherybaby replied to camarosie's topic in General Nursing

    I think you would still be considered a new nurse even with the one year title. You haven't worked yet, so you don't have any experience to speak of. Most employers are looking for experience. I...

  16. After 3 months of searching I GOT A JOB! WOHOOOO!

    Cherybaby replied to CASTLEGATES's topic in General Nursing

    CG - I am very happy for you. I think it is an amazing accomplishment! I hope to follow that same path of nursing someday. I find it fascinating and have a genuine interest in it. Enjoy this new...

  17. When A Nurse Can't Offer a Hug...

    Cherybaby replied to Cherybaby's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely did not criticize her on any level whatsoever. I would never chastise someone for being different than I am. Please don't miss the purpose of my post. It was not to assume that I am...

  18. When A Nurse Can't Offer a Hug...

    Cherybaby replied to Cherybaby's topic in General Nursing

    I guess it's a little selfish on my part as well. I love getting and giving hugs...and like Sue said, even from the funky ones! I just can't fathom simply standing there staring at someone who is...

  19. ? about FirstLab or drug testing...

    Cherybaby replied to sl33y's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Just a quick aside? They have now given nursing schools the okay to randomly drug screen students in the Florida nursing programs. Things are getting a little strange in Florida as of

  20. \To tell or not to tell about my restricted license, Urgent Help Please!!

    Cherybaby replied to liandra's topic in Nurses Recovery

    While I do agree with you that the BON is not a money making machine. However, I find your statement "if you had only followed proper documentation guidelines, this would be a non issue" a bit out of...

  21. Pre- employment drug testing

    Cherybaby replied to VM85's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Things are very bad here, Morte. We have some of the lowest requirements in the country to be able to be a nurse. We are absolutely inundated with new grads who have below par education. You used...

  22. Pre- employment drug testing

    Cherybaby replied to VM85's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am in IPN as well. While I appreciate your concern, you can inquire as to what medications are questionable without the hammer being brought down on you. I know the nursing board does not advocate...

  23. Pre- employment drug testing

    Cherybaby replied to VM85's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I can't speak for any other state but my own (Florida). Most drug screens will test for opiates and benzos. While you may have a script for these drugs, the nursing board here frowns upon nurses...

  24. My Daughter Has H1N1

    Cherybaby replied to nlhnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    My 13 year old son had a tested and confirmed case of swine flu (my county is doing mandatory testing so they can keep track of the virus). His fever was through the roof and he had terrible...
