  1. Do you hate doctors?

    misswhitney replied to snickerdoodle17_1's topic in General Students

    It depends on where you work. At my old job, there were only a few doctors I got along with. I always saw them as my superiors. At my new job, I don't have a problem with any of the doctors and...

  2. did the Dr. have a right to scold this nurse?

    misswhitney replied to Lurker011's topic in General Nursing

    Another part of the recorder is to write down the dosages (and to help double check them to make sure they are appropriate) and to keep time so you can tell them, okay it's been two minutes, time to...

  3. Whats the most money you made in a year? Fun thread

    misswhitney replied to Juwon's topic in General Nursing

    Thought I wouldn't touch 50k but will probably be above with mandatory overtime thrown in there. Last year I think I made

  4. did the Dr. have a right to scold this nurse?

    misswhitney replied to Lurker011's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a charge nurse and would never, ever question my nurse if she felt the need to call Rapid Response. Our Rapid team is AWESOME and since they have cell phones, they can give us support over the...

  5. Diversity

    misswhitney replied to BABYJADE06's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    lol to the That Guy. Truthfully, I did not notice diversity in my job, only because simply because I look at work ethic. I just noticed, with this post, that I primarily work on a floor that is a...

  6. Nurse advocacy (Rant)

    misswhitney replied to KalipsoRed's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You can also make an anon. complaint with the state. But then again, at my old job, they would make sure we had a "Safe" amount on inspection

  7. Ever have a patient that "turns" on you?

    misswhitney replied to dudette10's topic in General Nursing

    I had a patient who was all nice to me, when I didn't have them the next day, they asked if I could switch, etc. I was in their room and the room across the hall, all day. I specifically asked to...

  8. Commuting, which schedule works best?

    misswhitney replied to ruralgirl08's topic in General Nursing

    I work about 50 minutes from my job and I can't imagine doing option A. You also have to think of the traffic at 8 in the morning (you would have to leave even earlier) on top of doing it five days a...

  9. I was the first responder to a car accident today

    misswhitney replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I have had to stop for several car accidents. One was after and SUV flipped over and was blocking a lane completely. Keep in mind that this was at 6:30 in the morning, on a major highway leading to...

  10. Thank You Worksource

    misswhitney replied to look-4-miracles's topic in Florida Nursing

    I applied to the one that is designated to my county (I live in Clay) and they send the info to North Campus when I was approved. I got their number from North Campus and called them and I had to do...

  11. Missing meds & I'm getting the blame

    misswhitney replied to ForeverMoving's topic in General Nursing

    Who is to say that nurse #2 didn't take them and blame you? They really don't have any proof that you diverted meds and like you said, there are a lot of people in and out of the

  12. why can't the nurses give out medical advice here?

    misswhitney replied to nobody067's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. This board is made for NURSES, not for patients. We come here to seek clarity, to feel like we are not alone on issues, for support. We are not here to give out medical or legal advice to...

  13. Nclex-Rn exam in 2 weeks

    misswhitney replied to iampaulie's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The more select all that apply questions, the better. I think I got 15 out of 75 and

  14. Temporarily disconnecting a CVC port from patient and air embolism

    misswhitney replied to Noelle2000's topic in General Nursing

    I was told, by a physician, that it would take an entire IV tubing line to create enough of an embolism to kill

  15. mandatory designated quiet time

    misswhitney replied to zoebaily's topic in General Nursing

    1:30 to 3. We dim lights and shut the main doors and talk in lower

  16. Suggestions on the best nursing website to get CEU's...

    misswhitney replied to RNsharkinaj's topic in General Nursing

    Does your facility offer healthstream? I found a lot of CEU's available on there for

  17. Acknowledgment system

    misswhitney posted a topic in General Nursing

    At my old job, when a co-worker did something we felt was above and beyond their expectations (or if they simply did their job, without complaining), we would give them a "hand." With this hand would...

  18. Fictional vital sign charting

    misswhitney replied to Rabid Response's topic in General Nursing

    Umm I would have gone straight to my manager and wrote an incident report. Not only is this person falsifying a legal document (that ultimately falls back on the nurse), but they are putting lives in...

  19. Pay for new grad

    misswhitney replied to MollzBSN's topic in Florida Nursing

    Ahhh I have seen a new grad start at $24 at a hospital in Jacksonville. I started at

  20. How are some nurses nurses?!

    misswhitney replied to kellyjo's topic in General Nursing

    So is it safe to assume that you will not be a great nurse because your grammar and spelling are lacking? Nurses have an incredible amount of responsibility and ER nurses have to know how to do a...

  21. Why can't I let go?

    misswhitney replied to KaksRN's topic in General Nursing

    I stayed on for three months after I had gotten my nursing job and I worked at a grocery store too! One day, I had a bad day and just told the store manager that that day would officially start my...

  22. Any St. Vincent's or St. Lukes (Jax, FL) nurses out there?

    misswhitney replied to GradNurseFL's topic in Florida Nursing

    I'm not sure at St. Luke's but at St. V's, I only had a job offer after I had passed boards, but people who worked there already had a job lined up before boards. I think all the hospitals are...

  23. New grad looking for RN jobs in Jacksonville, FL

    misswhitney replied to GradNurseFL's topic in Florida Nursing

    The only reason I got an interview for St. V's as a new grad was because I worked at Publix. They have a lot of techs (I was competing against 4 for the spot) that are nursing students there. Shands...

  24. Mayo Clinic and Shands: Jacksonville

    misswhitney replied to PrettyinPink1234's topic in Florida Nursing

    I know that Shands is not going to be hiring much this summer. They are closing a unit for remodeling so they will have an entire floor floating around. Mayo is so hard to get into. You usually...
