  1. Brandon Hospital vs. Lakeland Regional

    Bean79 replied to returning nurse's topic in Florida Nursing

    Personally I loved living in the Brandon area. Yes it is crowded, but I found traffic to be a major improvement compared to when I was living in Tampa. On another note, I used to travel to lakeland...

  2. My EC family.. I interviewed as a RN today

    Bean79 replied to changeofpaceRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

  3. Excelsior graduates in Georgia

    Bean79 replied to drew404's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I dont think its a bad idea, but you should consider the amount of time it will take to become a Paramedic. After Pre-Reqs and everything it is still like 2 years of schooling to become a paramedic....

  4. When a difficult friend becomes a difficult patient.. (long) help!

    Bean79 replied to chapsticknurse's topic in General Nursing

    Wow...Can we say drama queen? You are an awesome friend to this woman. I have no doubt that her current situation is very stressful and requires support from loved ones. BUT she is clearly taking...

  5. Sick Leave Policy: What's Yours?

    Bean79 replied to Nurse!Nurse!Hello?'s topic in General Nursing

    My current employer's policy does not really apply to your situation as we earn hours that are pooled together. So sick, holiday, and vacation all comes out of the same pool of hours. But, I did work...

  6. Dental Hygienists paid more than Nurses?

    Bean79 replied to Platypus's topic in General Nursing

    Dental Hygienists shouldnt be confused with a Dental Assistant. Dental Hygienists are licensed professionals just like RNs and they usually require a degree (AS). In some states they perform many of...

  7. Dreadlocks?

    Bean79 replied to tabatheena's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Personally I dont see why this would be a problem. Many people now have dreadlocks which looks nice as long as its taken care of. We have physicians and nurses who have this hairstyle and I never once...

    Bean79 replied to Jess84's topic in Florida Nursing

  10. Becoming an RN just for the paycheck

    Bean79 replied to Nellie Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I dont have a problem with this as long as people try to do everything in their power to be a 'good' nurse. I hate being a CNA and its literally stability, means of paying for school, and a paycheck...

  11. booted from er job while on general medical leave

    Bean79 replied to beaujacques's topic in General Nursing

    I cant really address the FMLA stuff since I have no clue how it works, but I will adress the work related part. Part of what the doctor says is true, the "original" injury is not work related and...

  12. what do CNA's do in a hospital?

    Bean79 replied to daisygal's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I am in FL and learned this too when I was in CNA schools many years ago...However, in the Hospital setting things are very different. Also keep in mind that in Hospitals CNA's are referred to as...

  13. Is LPN as great a job as a RN?

    Bean79 replied to WorkingMom19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow...this is as pompass and as ignorant as it gets. God this post really ticks me off. You make government financial aide seem like a handout for lazy people. Give me a break. Whether you use money...

  14. Things people say coming out of anaesthetic

    Bean79 replied to frellyou's topic in General Nursing

    I work as a PCT and a patient the other night in recovery introduced himself as Barack Obama (He wasnt kidding either). Pretty funny at the

  15. Any CNA advice would be helpful!

    Bean79 replied to tink0013's topic in Florida Nursing

    Well Florida is an interesting state when it comes to CNA's. In Florida you do nto have to go through any formal training in order to sit for the state exam. The courses you see that are a day or...

  16. Is this a bad TEAS score?

    Bean79 replied to bebahloo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I cant believe they denied you!!! Its things like this that upsets me. If a 4.0 student with awesome test scores gets denied, where does that leave everyone else?! Hardly seems fair... I guess this is...

  17. New graduate interested in Excelsior

    Bean79 replied to texasg67's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I am currently in LPN school and am also wanting to enroll in excelsior as soon as I am finished (still quite a ways to go). I just wanted to know if you have to have passed the NCLEX PN first before...

  19. Can a CNA apply as a medical assistant?

    Bean79 replied to LittleJ's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see why not in some settings. I worked as a CMA until recently; I have been working as a PCT since entering LPN school. I guess your role as an MA varies from setting to setting. Some offices...

  20. help me, i am desperate

    Bean79 replied to labrador4122's topic in Florida Nursing

    Procpr.com has an online BLS course. This may be an option if your employer accepts it. They follow the AHA guidelines and you can print your card immmediately online, they also send you an official...

  21. Do you consider this harrassment

    Bean79 replied to perc71's topic in General Nursing

    That sounds infuriating! :angryfire While I would say your asst manager sounds both lazy and on a power trip, I wouldnt really classify what she was doing as harrassment. Now if she was singling you...

  22. Ma To Lvn

    Bean79 replied to CampPenKidd's topic in General Nursing

    I would have to say that this is absolutely false. I am not sure where you are located but the requirements for an MA and LVN are vastly different. I am a CMA and am now in school working toward my...

  23. teas test

    Bean79 replied to fizzlilma03's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my opinion, I always at least try to guess. The way I see it, if I skip the problem then I will definitely get it marked wrong and it will count against me. If I at least attempt to guess at an...

    Bean79 replied to VU RN BSN's topic in Psychiatric

    Bean79 replied to dcuevas821's topic in Florida Nursing
