    nursegreen replied to scuba-girl's topic in Florida Nursing

    Lucky80, I recommend you go to the Health Education Center and talk to the advisor directly. When I did the program I hand delivered everything!!!! I kept copies of everything I turned in and wrote...

  3. flight nurse

    nursegreen replied to unknownfuture's topic in General Nursing

    I am not currently a flight nurse because I need a couple more years. :) I have worked at a level one trauma center going on 11 years. I did the LPN-RN transition program and have been working in...

  4. Moving to Tampa in July

    nursegreen replied to Jbeachgrl's topic in Florida Nursing

    You have to have atleast 15 posts to be able to send a pm. Grand Central is nice and located right in downtown, and Hyde Park is a nice area also. TGH is a great place to work (I may be a bit biased...

  5. NP program at USF

    nursegreen replied to tampaflrn6's topic in Florida Nursing

    Misty1334, I believe it really depends on if you go full time or not. I was told 2.5-3 years or could be longer depending on how long it took me to get through my classess. Also, would depend on how...

  7. does age REALLY matter?

    nursegreen replied to pinkynbd_99's topic in General Nursing

    WOW!!!! What an arrogant post. Why don't you look at how many "younger" people go into nursing and realize a year or two down the road it's not for them and that they hate nursing. Now that's...

  8. How frequent BP's on vasoactive meds?

    nursegreen replied to nursecass's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    If my patient's are on pressors and I am titrating I set my monitor to check q15m regardless with a cuff or an A-line even with both. If I am not tiitrating, then our policy is q30m unless I feel they...

  9. Community College Pass Rate

    nursegreen replied to wlb06's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, I would be concerned about a 74% pass rate. My school also had a 98-99% pass rate on the first attempt. You want a school that is going to prepare you the best to pass nclex, since that is...

  10. Do you take the MAR into the patient's room with you?

    nursegreen replied to uscstu4lfe's topic in General Nursing

    I take my MAR with me to the accudose and into the patient's room to verify unless they are in isolation. Usually, I will check everything and then place it on the desk right outside the room. I think...

    nursegreen replied to KdnRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am in Florida, and here in my local area you can have no more than two retakes in a maximum of two classes. Also, in the state of Florida if you receive a C or higher in a course you can not retake...

  13. Can i have a social life while in nursing school

    nursegreen replied to NursingStudent-Tati's topic in General Nursing

    During the semester, my social life was slim to none. I tried to give myself a few hours of free time a week depending on what was due or how many tests. There were many times when I had one to three...

  14. Does the college you attend matter?

    nursegreen replied to Aurora77's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Absolutely!!!!!! I agree with the above poster. You want a school that is going to prepare you the best to take the nclex. Research each schools pass rate and how many people enter and actually finish...

  15. flight nurse

    nursegreen replied to unknownfuture's topic in General Nursing

    To be honest with you, you are a long way from being a flight nurse. Our flight program (as well as most others) require you to have worked a minimal of five years in an ED or a critical care setting....

  16. Lift Team Salary?

    nursegreen replied to Lift Team Tech TGH's topic in Florida Nursing

    I did clinicals at many of the facilities surrounding TGH in Tampa and Pinellas, and they did not have a Lift Team specifically to assist the nurses in turning and moving patient's. Unless they have...

    nursegreen replied to SapphireRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    There is a hiring freeze right now but there are some positions posted. You need to contact nurse recruiting and they can give you the information you need. TGH does take new grads in the ED and...

    The best advise I or anyone else here can give you is to contact your local BON and ask them your questions. Every application is handled individually. Good

  21. Florida GN Pay

    nursegreen replied to kellymoody's topic in Florida Nursing

    All new grads start at that rate both ADN and BSN at TGH. They do not pay more for BSN. They do have clinical ladder though and each level adds an additional 4% to your hourly. I work nights so I'm...
