My husband stopped a nurse from trying to give lortab elixir as an IV push one night...I guess everyone has "moments" but it is getting ridiculuous. I went for a job interview today... I went ahead...
No, I am not in Florida. Supposedly, if you have a script and are working "unimpaired" it is no problem. At least that is what administration at the facility says. I guess I shouldn't have opened this...
That's just it... who are they? Just because we are in the nursing profession doesn't mean that anyone and everyone has a right to do to us whatever they please. If it is all one the up and up why...

I would love to see Mississippi nurses unionized. The "open door" policy does not work. By the time you take a problem to upper management, the chain of command has been compromised. Other states...
The majority of negative responses regarding Biloxi Regional are not good for a reason...in my opinion, it is not a good place for a seasoned nurse to work. As a new grad, I would advise you to stay...
