  1. What shift in ltc do you prefer?

    EmmyBee replied to Godsgirl20's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I preferred 11-7. There is always a large amount of meds due on every shift at LTCs, at the exact same times. But nights had the least (where I worked). And with 30+ residents, it seemed to be the...

  2. Any help for home care nurse in bug infested/dirty homes?

    EmmyBee replied to Born2BWild's topic in General Nursing

    EmmyBee replied to mrs.ant0125's topic in Florida Nursing

  10. army with previous nursing experience

    EmmyBee replied to Lindzh's topic in Government, Military

    I served 11 years in the Army, but it was as a medical specialist then LPN. So I am more familiar with the "enlisted" side. From what I remember, with the BSN you should be able to go in as an...

  15. Would you work less hours (less $$) for a better shift?

    EmmyBee replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    I would write down the pros and the cons for both shifts, decide whether or not I could afford it, and then see which choice would make me happier overall. Then I'd go with that one. Good

  21. books for broward college nursing program

    EmmyBee replied to jam911's topic in Florida Nursing
