  4. What kind of pt am I?

    misswhitney replied to jfpruitt's topic in Emergency

    I think this sums it up. I want to add, too, that don't give them a list of medications you are allergic to, when they really are pain meds that don't work for you. When you come in and say you are...

  6. Hospital interview, when do I call?

    misswhitney replied to Jen411's topic in General Nursing

    I would send a thank you e-mail or letter, but I would not call until she has not fulfilled her promise to call you. It sounds like you got the job, but background checks can take up to 10 days to...

    Shands has the best ICU's (they are the only Trauma 1 in the area), and are probably the best paid, with Mayo right behind them. Shands is a huggge teaching hospital (affiliated with UF) with a lot...

  10. Questions about g tube

    misswhitney replied to nursegreenbean's topic in General Nursing

    I check for residual every time, regardless of if there is a doctor's orders or not (at our facility it is expected), especially because if they are not digesting the tube feeding, they could aspirate...

  12. Jacksonville, FL Nursing School Options

    misswhitney replied to nikkiv723's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  15. new and frustrated..

    misswhitney replied to BroomQueen's topic in Florida Nursing

    I get this same reaction with some night nurses. Like if I have to pass off a Picc dressing or something, it is a big ordeal. I usually just stare them right in the face and tell them nursing is a...

    misswhitney replied to Squirmy McCoy's topic in Florida Nursing

    misswhitney replied to Squirmy McCoy's topic in Florida Nursing

    I went to my primary care physician and did them, without insurance and it was $75 for everything minus the drug test. You have to go to the north side clinic for that. The $75 included my physical,...

    misswhitney replied to Squirmy McCoy's topic in Florida Nursing

    You guys shouldn't take things so personally. Melissalarey did not personally attack anyone and I have seen multiple people state the things she used as example. I graduated from the program more...

  21. FSCJ/FCCJ spring 2011 hopefuls

    misswhitney replied to Squirmy McCoy's topic in Florida Nursing
