  1. I wanted to explain what happened to me...

    GatorRN replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, this is not what I was hoping to hear when I came to check how your meeting went. I'm sooo sorry to hear things worked out this way for you. I can't believe your DON actually let you go over...

  2. I wanted to explain what happened to me...

    GatorRN replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm soo sorry your having to deal with all this nonsense. You sound like a great nurse with a big heart. Working all nite, going to spend time with your loved one, and then still going into work...

  3. "Honey"

    GatorRN replied to lovingtheunloved's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, in the south calling someone "hon" is just part of everyday life. It is a more layed back/familial culture. I've never felt patronized by being called hon, nor has anyone, that I'm aware...

  4. resource for finding medication pictures?

    GatorRN replied to Cosper123's topic in General Nursing

    Try this site. I'm not sure if it breaks them down my pill strenghts or not but it does show pics of various pills. This site also has a pill identification wizard where you can enter identifying...

  5. Does anybody know where to get medical abbreviation fonts?

    GatorRN replied to amlaboy's topic in General Nursing

    Go to Google.com and do a search for "medical abbreviations" to find one you like. Here's a couple: https://globalrph.com/abbrev/abc/ Hope this helps

  6. Degrees

    GatorRN replied to trainer2070's topic in General Nursing

    If you want to be an OR or ER RN, then you need either an ADN or BSN. Neither of your other degrees will give you a nursing graduate degree or allow you to be able to sit/pass the NCLEX to get your RN...

  7. Give now orders

    GatorRN replied to emrrn915's topic in General Nursing

    Somewhat negligent? Ummm, I would say Very Negligent! Especially if the pt is septic and already in MSOF, Vanco were be a very important med to give

  8. Anyone know some rules about FMLA?

    GatorRN replied to rehab nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I used intermittent FMLA with my last employer. My year ran from the date of initial filing until one yr later. At that point because I had worked the required 1250 hrs the previous yr, while being...

  9. Much needed help with communication?

    GatorRN replied to USNOUMED's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if I would say that there is a "general feeling of animosity towards medical students. I have, however, seen situations over the yrs that may lead you to this conclusion. I, personally,...

  10. Best Choice for Final Practicum?

    GatorRN replied to Shawnina's topic in General Nursing

    I, personally, don't think it's "critical" to "pay your dues" in med surg, but many other nurses will tell you it is. I had absolutely no desire to go into med surg after graduating. My interest was...

  11. Overtime pay

    GatorRN replied to LegginMF's topic in General Nursing

    I have never heard of a pay plan like that before either. I too think you're being ripped of. I don't see how this can be legal. I would be going to work for someone else, fast. I would be...

  12. Can this contract possibly be legal?

    GatorRN replied to paigeRN1962's topic in General Nursing

    This whole situation sounds very scary to me. Let me get this straight. This employer expects you to sign a blank contract that was not mentioned upon hiring, that includes a life insurance clause....

  13. LPN to RN

    GatorRN replied to fitson's topic in General Nursing

    I've never heard of such practice. They get to keep the money you paid for the classes, and won't allow you to retake the one you failed? Hmmmmmm, something sounds fishy to me!! I wish I had advice...

  14. Hello to everyone! medication resource question...

    GatorRN replied to RNmom08's topic in General Nursing

    The Davis' Drug Guide that I have came with a disk for your computer. Look for one that says Disk Version on the

  15. Prayer for my son

    GatorRN replied to lvs2nrs3535's topic in General Nursing

    You and your son are in my prayers. I hope everything works out

  16. i'm really angry.. should i be??

    GatorRN replied to goats'r'us's topic in General Nursing

    I would definately write the orderly up. He blatantly went against what you told him twice. If he is the type to take short cuts regularly, maybe next time he'll think twice before doing something...

  17. i need advice please...

    GatorRN replied to lezah's topic in General Nursing

    I honestly don't remember the exact percentages of correct answers I was getting while reviewing, it's been awhile. What I do recall is that as time went on the more I reviewed, the higher the...

  18. Some opinions please...

    GatorRN replied to lovelyj75's topic in General Nursing

    I think you need an associate degree in nursing (ADN) in order to bridge into the BSN program. Of course, you can go the LPN, to ADN/RN to BSN/RN route. But I don't think you can bridge from LPN to...

  19. LPN or RN?

    GatorRN replied to heartstart's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Uuuummmmmmm, what is it you're trying to say here? I'm confused. How does attending an Associate program prolong or limit your scope as an RN? You do understand, or maybe not, that by completing an...

  20. i need advice please...

    GatorRN replied to lezah's topic in General Nursing

    You say you answer 100 questions a day, then review your answers later. Thats a great gameplan. When you review your answers, do you just see which ones you got right/wrong, or do you also click and...

  21. Missing Duragesic Patch, where is it??

    GatorRN replied to Party-of-Five-NY's topic in General Nursing

    I sure wouldn't sign on a patch being "wasted" unless I actually wasted it. Wasted is one thing, and lost is another. Even noted on the MAR that you were "unable to locate," in my opinion, doesn't...

  22. New nurse with dilema!!! Help

    GatorRN replied to angie2579's topic in General Nursing

    :yeahthat: A pregnancy isn't really something you can hide any way you look at it. Congrats on passing your

  23. Berated and feeling useless

    GatorRN replied to sn07's topic in General Nursing

    I truly think sometimes nursing instructors are trying to weed out the weak by the way they treat students. When I was in school, we had one particular clinical instructor that was really nasty and...

  24. Where were u 9/11/01?

    GatorRN replied to k_cole21's topic in General Nursing

    I was at work. I was in an ICU room in complete isolation garb doing a dressing change when the first plane hit. We turned on a portable TV someone had in their locker at the nurses station to watch...

  25. Who should I deal with, HR or NM?

    GatorRN replied to MQ Edna's topic in General Nursing

    The nurse mgr usually makes those kind of
