  1. Actually my posts were factual with concrete examples of the problems of FH Colleges (now Adventist
  2. Wow Meresanity, Why is it so upsetting to you that others disagree with you and your experience? Do you always get personal and attack people who disagree with you? Your post seems very much like...
  3. Orlando Nursing Pay ? Anyone heard anything good?

    I believe Village on the Green in Longwood Florida is one of the better nursing home facilities to work at in Central Florida. It should be pretty close to where you are in Sanford
  4. Racial Refusals In Nursing

    Yes I agree with you. I was specifically addressing it to the OP who coined her term, "racial refusing." I agree there are racist (of all colors) out there. But just because someone declines a nurse...
  5. Racial Refusals In Nursing

    Ok let me ask you this, first you "profile" the patient that you say qualifies as one most likely to refuse on the bases of race. However, you in saying most likely elderly are in a sense continuing...
  6. Yes MereSanity you already stated that you had "no issues whatsoever." And I can see that you are very proud of yourself. I am happy for you but the topic was about people's experience at Adventist...
  7. MereSanity, I assume you were responding to my comment but not sure if you read what I said. I did not have a "bad experience" at Adventist University but was passing on comments from my co-workers...
  8. To preface this and for full disclosure: I graduated ASN from Florida Hospital College and work for FH currently. I have many friends/co workers currently enrolled or recently graduated from the RN...
  9. I am referring to the Sicu murses reply in this RANT :) Me thinks this is the exact attitude to OP was referring to Funny, first post out of the box reflex this horrible attitude and way of relating...
  10. Hi, any ORMC RN's out there? I would love some feedback on the state of nursing at your facility. So many of us nurses at Florida Hospital in Orlando are feeling more overwhelmed, and yes helpless...
  11. South Lake is in Clermont and is part of Orlando Health. I have heard the doctors in this hospital are not the best and hard to work with. It is very small and newer. I have also heard the patients...
  12. Does anyone out there work at the Retreat? Any info on job availability, working conditions, and salary? Thanks in
  13. To answer the last two posts. I can't imagaine anyone having a problem with an institution that wants to extend the healing ministry of Christ. Unless of course they hate Christianity or Christians....
  14. Keiser U - anyone graduate, know anyone who has?

    Hi, I work at Florida Hospital and there are quite a few Keiser nurses on my very floor. I have never heard of anyone looking down on this institution. The only thing I know about Keiser is that it...
  15. Any Info on Brattleboro Retreat?

    Thank you for the info. I was also wondering if anyone who works there can tell me how they like it. How do you like living in Brat and what is the atmosphere at the Retreat. Thanks
  16. Extremely Offensive ER experience

    We are all sorry for your pain and glad it has resolved. But I still don't understand why you would escalate this experience by letter writing etc. Of course it is your choice, but in breaking it down...
  17. Extremely Offensive ER experience

    I have to agree with you. While it may not have been handled up to the posters expectations I see nothing negligent or even uncaring in the experience as
  18. What's up with Florida Hospital?

    No this is not correct at all. In fact Florida Hospital still has LPNs on board. Just recently they stopped allowing LPNs to perform direct pt care but there are some still working in CTU (admitting...
  19. What's up with Florida Hospital?

    I heard they are not. And a nurse who's visa or work permit (or whatever it is) was expiring was told her contract would not be renewed. She would have to go back to school to stay. She already has...
  20. Unsure if Nursing is right for me??

    Actually a better idea is become a PCT. In our hospital volunteers are extremely limited in what they can actually do. A tech has a much better view of the realities of nursing. Mike, I read another...
  21. Every single nurse has made medication errors (yes plural) and to me the scarieset ones are the ones that don't think they have. Or say they have only made a few in x amount of years. What nurses...
  22. Hmm. I was initially reading your post with empathy and understanding. Top of class, lots of extra activities, and the seeming motivation to plug away and do what it takes to find employment. Good on...
  23. Unsure if Nursing is right for me??

    It seems so many people are trying to get into nursing due to the economy and lack of jobs elsewhere. I was speaking to the nursing instructor on our floor who had a group of BSN students in the...
  24. Nurse to Patient ratios, your thoughts

    It all depends on the acuity of the patients. There is no way ANY nurse, regardless if she is "the bomb" lol could safely take care of more than 3-4 patients at a time. We are lobbying for 3:1. My...
  25. Nurse to Patient ratios, your thoughts

    At my hospital med surg days is 4-5: 1, PCU 3-4:1. I can't imagine taking care of 8 patients. My floor is 3-4 :1 and 4 gets hairy. I agree 8:1 is
