  1. How to deal with angry doctors

    NYCRN16 replied to ann915's topic in First Year After Licensure

    No way should she skip the threat when she reports it. That is probably what is going to get her complaint taken seriously! I would document the conversation in its entirety including quotes from what...

  2. How to deal with angry doctors

    NYCRN16 replied to ann915's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Oh hell no!! I would write an email to your manager and explain the whole story and the threats/abuse that the doctor made to you. All hospitals have a disruptive clinician policy now as required by...

  4. Travel Nursing

    NYCRN16 replied to Ines6's topic in Florida Nursing

    I would advise against having only 1 year of nursing experience before traveling. Someone else mentioned that the hospitals want 2+ years and that is for good reason. There is no hand holding, you...

  7. Best time to apply to Florida hospitals

    NYCRN16 replied to NYCRN16's topic in Florida Nursing

    Landlords are pretty strict because there are strong laws that protect the tenant, and there are professional "non-payers" of rent that move from place to place and it can take months or years to get...

  8. NYC RN x7 yrs, -moving to Fl! (help)

    NYCRN16 replied to chonyrn's topic in Florida Nursing

    I moved to Florida from NY less than a year ago. I considered Miami, but the cost of housing is not that much cheaper than in NY if you want to be in a nice area. 1 BR apt's can be $1500 or so. If you...

  10. LPN information for Tampa/St Petersburg

    NYCRN16 replied to jamielpn's topic in Florida Nursing

  11. planning to buy in New York city area (nurse salary)

    NYCRN16 replied to froggy8's topic in New York Nursing

    Jobs in NYC pay well compared to the rest of the country, but not enough on that salary alone to buy anything in Manhattan or probably even Brooklyn in a decent neighborhood. A studio in Manhattan is...

    NYCRN16 replied to LIZZYICU's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You need a certain number of hours in your specialty to satisfy the requirements, I don't know how an FNP or another primary care specialist fudges his or her numbers to renew, but its not honest. I...

    NYCRN16 replied to lcraig0011's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Esme is right, think the situation over on both sides of the coin. Do you think the doctor was right or wrong to say the scan

  19. Need help with study for rn exam

    NYCRN16 replied to harpreetk's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Kaplan is the closest to the real boards and unless you are scoring in the 60's you most likely will not pass the real test. You have to keep doing questions and study the rationales in order to score...

  25. 265 Questions and sobbing.

    NYCRN16 replied to ttsewang's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Maybe, but I wouldn't encourage someone who is scoring borderline to go ahead and retake and risk failing again. You can only take the test 3 times before you have to go for some sort of retraining, I...
