  1. Autism, mercury and cover up???

    michelle95 replied to LydiaNN's topic in Developmental Disabilities

    Trying this again (I cut off the last post). I can't believe I almost missed this thread. This is a passion of mine. Here's my story. My youngest son was born in Dec 1999. The pregnancy, labor and...

  2. Bradenton/Sarasota Nurses

    michelle95 posted a topic in Florida Nursing

    Hey...moving there the beginning of August...do any of you recommend a good place to work? Or, recommend a place NOT to work?

  3. Comment about LPNs made by clinical instructor

    michelle95 replied to FutureIsBlue's topic in General Nursing

    Of course, I'm biased since I'm an LPN. :chuckle It's funny that instructor said that. We LPNs in RN school have been kind of intimidating the generic RN students....not that we are trying. I tell...

  4. Test Results

    michelle95 replied to Nyna's topic in Florida Nursing

    Good for you. You must be a smart cookie to be able to pass that test after having been out of school for so long. Congrats.

  5. short term training in pcola CNA or Phlebotomy

    michelle95 replied to Scarlett Dolphin's topic in Florida Nursing

    Sarah, I don't think weekends would be a problem. I sent you a pm. Scarlett...an email is coming your way.

  6. Test Results

    michelle95 replied to Nyna's topic in Florida Nursing

    So, did you get it? If you passed, you should be under the state registry by

  7. short term training in pcola CNA or Phlebotomy

    michelle95 replied to Scarlett Dolphin's topic in Florida Nursing

    Some of the nursing homes around here occasionally have CNA classes. But, short term? You have to work a certain amount of clinical hours in order to take your test and become certified. And,...

  8. Anyone else burned out???

    michelle95 replied to Debbie_LPN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the above then. You have to look out for you. This kind of scheduling is going to burn you out for

  9. Anyone else burned out???

    michelle95 replied to Debbie_LPN's topic in General Nursing

    You know, it's sad. I am in RN school after having been an LPN for 6 years. I've found out I don't really want to be a nurse anymore. But, I'm going to stay at it because I can't make the same pay...

  10. Anyone Required To Take ERI?

    michelle95 replied to RainDreamer's topic in General Students

    They just started ERI this semester at my school. As of now...it is only an "assessment" tool for the instructors to see what we are learning. We do not have to pass the tests and they do not count...

  11. Please explain this nonsense to me!

    michelle95 replied to lovingtheunloved's topic in General Nursing

    Is it NOT legal to go on and send the patient to the ER anyway? That's what I would do. It's better to be safe than sorry. I would much rather have that doc ripping me one for writing an order in...

  12. Any Florida LPN's (relocating questions)

    michelle95 replied to sfgibson's topic in Florida Nursing

    I'm not sure what the pay is down that way. However, I have not seen anywhere in FL that pays LPNs more in the hospital than LTC. Around here in P'cola, LPNs in LTC make around 13-15 depending on...

  13. Florida NCLEX & Misdemeanors

    michelle95 replied to jlp2778's topic in Florida Nursing

    My advice is to err on the side of caution and get one. Sure enough, if you don't...they'll want one and that will hold you up from sitting for

  14. Realistic starting pay for RN's in N FL?

    michelle95 replied to Karen06's topic in Florida Nursing

    There is not much of a difference in LPN and RN pay here in Pensacola, either. I make 16 an hour as a PRN LPN in a nursing home and 14 part time at a home for the developmentally disabled. I won't be...

  15. Pensacola Area

    michelle95 replied to nursemary9's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hi! I don't work homecare so I don't know much about it here but I do know that I see ads sometimes for positions. Especially, hospice, if you are interested. I'm sure you know that the pay is not...

  16. Late entries and legality

    michelle95 replied to michelle95's topic in General Nursing

    5 days is doable....a month is not. IMHO. I think I will ask the board about this,

  17. Late entries and legality

    michelle95 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have a situation to ask you guys' advice on. I work in a home for developmentally disabled adults. Out of 63 residents, we only have one G-tube feeder. We are supposed to chart on this resident...

  19. A message to new grads: NEVER....

    michelle95 replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    Along the lines of IVs and fluid... ...when you rare fooling with G-tubes, clamp the tube with your fingers while you are inserting or taking out your 60cc syringe...otherwise what you put in is...

  20. Nursing Salaries in SW Florida

    michelle95 replied to TraumaNurse411's topic in Florida Nursing

  21. Any PJC folks here?

    michelle95 posted a topic in Florida Nursing

    What do you think about new admissions being suspended? For those of you that don't know Pensacola Junior college is delaying admitting Jan RN students until Aug AND no LPN students will be admitted...

  22. Any PJC folks here?

    michelle95 replied to michelle95's topic in Florida Nursing

    Skye, no snow. Thought we were going to get some the week of Christmas but it turned out to just be sleet. Don't want it anyway. :rotfl: nolefan, I'm not really sure about starting pay. But,...

  25. Amendment 3

    michelle95 replied to michelle95's topic in Florida Nursing

    I feel the same way. But, the opposing commercials keep saying stuff like, "Insurance rates aren't going down because of this ammendment." I didn't think this ammendment was for insurance...
