  1. great nursing agencies in Florida

    daisydoll replied to jadean's topic in Travel

    A medical exam is required by all companies. If you have a copy of a recent physical exam stating that you are in good health and fit to work most companies will accept

  2. Do you take any stimulants?

    daisydoll replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

    I usually dont get home from work until 8 or 8:30 pm so going to bed right away would be impossible! I need a few hours to wind down and try to eat something cuz I am usually starving when I get home....

  3. You work 3 days a week? MUST BE NICE!

    daisydoll replied to uscstu4lfe's topic in General Nursing

    I can't tell you how many times I've heard this! People who say this don't realize what my job entails and how physically, mentally and emotionally demanding it is. I have no time for myself those...

  4. Would you have called rapid response?

    daisydoll replied to uscstu4lfe's topic in General Nursing

    I would have checked a manual pressure if the bp was taken by an automatic cuff. Sometimes those are inaccurate. If it was still low I would call the resident and report my findings, and see if they...

  5. Falling asleep at work

    daisydoll replied to uscstu4lfe's topic in General Nursing

    When I used to work nights I would have the issue of eyes closing around 3-4 am and it was so hard to fight it. Now that I work days I never have this

  6. I missed my nurse

    daisydoll posted a topic in General Nursing

    Took care of a patient on a 12 hr day shift. Very sweet lady was a joy taking care of her. I come back the next day and ask her if she had a good night. She says "no, not really." I ask her "how...

  7. How does nursing school differ from the real world of nursing?

    daisydoll replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Nursing

    You CANNOT truly understand all that nursing entails until you are on your own, working without a preceptor. That's when all the responsibility falls on your shoulders. Looking back on clinicals I now...

  8. To Move or Not to Move?

    daisydoll replied to Reno1978's topic in General Nursing

    I say go for it! Sounds like this new job and area will be more than worth it and you won't be alone, your partner and family will be there. I would check out the unit where you are planning to work...

  9. Medical trips to other countries?

    daisydoll replied to Whiddy's topic in General Nursing

    It looks like this organization requires 6-9 mos of volunteer time, with preference for 9-12 mos. Any organizations that offer trips a week or two in length? I just noticed that Doctors Without...

  12. Where to go after ER Nursing?

    daisydoll replied to S.T.A.C.E.Y's topic in Emergency

    Pharma Nurse, What kind of experience is required for this position? Did you have to go back to school for a Masters? What kind of hours do you work and what exactly does the job entail? This sounds...

  13. Switched preceptors. Did I make a bad decision?

    daisydoll replied to monkeys_momLDRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think you made the right choice. I had a preceptor who had a different personality/style of nursing and we clashed. I stayed with her but wish I had said something and switched. We had a...

  14. Who worked during nursing school?

    daisydoll replied to hnt1987's topic in General Nursing

    I worked all through school, I was living off campus and needed to work to pay rent, utilities, and other bills. I worked just about every weekend and on weekdays I had off from school. Sometimes I...

  16. did you start in L&D 1st???

    daisydoll replied to able2009's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have a friend who started in L&D and wouldnt have it any other way. She loves the population she works with and doesnt have any plans to switch specialties. If you are unsure if L&D is right...

  17. Should I go for the interview??

    daisydoll replied to gentlegiver's topic in General Nursing

    She is saying that they advertised they were paying for 36 hours, but then the HR person said that wasnt correct, that they were only paying for 24. It sounds to me like a waste of time to go to this...

  18. RN's in hospitals. What is the worst part of your job?

    daisydoll replied to GCTMT's topic in General Nursing

    Wow where do you work? Charting is a huge issue and I often stay late to finish charting. I feel that it also takes away from time I could be spending caring for patients. Understaffing is a huge...

  20. ? Is PRN Travel Nursing Allowed?

    daisydoll replied to SDS_RN's topic in Travel

    Why dont you try a per diem staffing agency? You get to choose where you want to go (depends on staffing needs tho) and you only work when you want

  21. Anyone else on nights feel completely out of it?

    daisydoll replied to allthingsbright's topic in General Nursing

    I guess some ppl can take a little nap after their last night at work and then be up for the rest of the day, but whenever I did that, I woke up with a huge headache, no energy and basically it was a...

    daisydoll replied to allthingsbright's topic in General Nursing

    Nights just arent for some ppl, I had some of the same problems when I was working nights. After a while it got a little easier to switch to a day schedule when I was off, but I think its because I...

  24. To work nights or not to work nights? that is the question....

    daisydoll replied to tsbarbre's topic in General Nursing

    Yes there are less meds on night shifts, but where I used to work we were always short on nights and management did not give a hoot. I would get 8-9 pts on a surgical floor and found it hard to keep...

    daisydoll replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing
