    The facility I work at does not hire anyone under the age of 18 either. They can only participate in our volunteer
  4. Specialty Decisions

    For now I would just focus on school and enjoy or not enjoy the different clinical experiences. In school you will be exposed to the different med surg areas, peds, ob, psych, ltc, surgery/recovery,...
  5. Gre For Graduate Nursing Programs

    Hello JPHill, have you looked into the Master's program at USF? What part of Florida are you in? The GRE is no longer a requirement for the MSN unless you are going for CRNA. They did away with this...
  6. quick question about state approval

    This is a question that can be better answered by the BON. I suggest contacting the Fl BON and asking them. Good
  7. JOBS only with 2 YEAR NIGHT SHIFT COMMITMENT!!

    I believe it is a pretty common practice for facilities to require a two year contract in the ICU's. My facility requires a two year contract but it is to the facility not a specific unit. I just took...

    I work for a level 1 trauma center in Florida and we hire nurse techs in our ED(maybe they offer something similar in Ca). It is very hard to get in as a new grad but coming in as a NT is the best...

  11. Took the Nclex Today

    Wow, I'm not sure how they can allow you to take the NCLEX before you have graduated from your nursing program. That's pretty interesting. Here in Florida the BON has to have proof that you have...
  12. ATT number

    It is different among states. Mine was sent off May 2nd because graduation was May 3rd, and I am still waiting on mine. Remember, this time of year is very busy with many NS graduating. The Florida...

    Well, if you can make it through the USMC for 13yrs then you can probably handle nursing. It's a lot of hard work and very demanding at times but it is truely rewarding. It is something that you...
  14. Hanging up on me!

    People who are not nurses DO NOT understand how busy we are and what all we do!!! I would like to take some of these people and put them in my shoes for a day (and let it be the worst day), but then...

    In Tampa/St. Pete area it is between $21.50-23.00 in some of the local hospitals. We recently received notice that the rate for RN's starting salary will be going from $20.69 to $22.66 to start....

    When a pt comes in and is deemed a threat to self or others (suicidal/homicidal ideations) then AMA goes out the window. Dr. can hold them for up to 72hrs for psych

    You need to make a formal complaint with HR. There is no excuse for what they did. It is a blatent violation of HIPPA and they should be terminated. I work at a very large hospital myself and it has...

  24. Considering moving to St. Petersburg

    I agree with Tweety, there are other NICU's in the Tampa/St. Pete area but All Childrens has a huge NICU. I did my pediatric clinicals there when in nursing school, and I believe the NICU has over...
  25. Don't know if I'm going to make it as an OB nurse

    Are you meeting with just your manager or your manager and preceptor? I personally think it would be a good idea for you to talk to your preceptor about this, but do it without accusations. While...
