  1. From Teacher to Nursing

    Preeps replied to mom30's topic in General Nursing

    I might see it from a different point of view so here is mine. Almost everyone in my family is in education. They are all pretty satisfied overall with their careers. I chose a different path and...

  2. Returning RN..do you explain employment gap in cover letter?

    Preeps replied to mcleanl's topic in General Nursing

    I think staying at home to be with your children is the best possible reason to have a gap in any job personally! You should be proud you put them first, and also happy that you could afford them...

  3. Pre-Pharmacy gone Pre-Nursing

    Preeps replied to RNicholask's topic in General Nursing

    Yes! I agree. Sometimes I feel really good about my day and how I cared for and made a difference for my patients, but sadly it is not the norm. Quite a bit of the time I am running around like a...

  4. Stress Relief after a BAD shift?

    Preeps replied to JStollRN's topic in Health, Stress Management

    When I've had a bad day at the office I drive right to the Chic-Filet drive through and order chicken nuggets with buffalo sauce and ranch and a small chocolate shake hold the cherry. Works every...

  5. Pre-Pharmacy gone Pre-Nursing

    Preeps replied to RNicholask's topic in General Nursing

    Really I know one nurse who went back to school to be a pharmacist and loves it. Another former co-worker of mine is now back in school to become a pharmacist. I'll never forget one day this young...

  6. Older nurses taking forever to computer chart

    Preeps replied to Giga's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. Lame topic and lame thought. I know some "older" nurses who can computer chart pretty fast. Talk about broad generalizations. So the OP thinks that all older nurses are slow at charting?...

  7. RN Payscale in western N.C Asheville, Boone etc

    Preeps posted a topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hi, I am planning on moving to Western N.C next year and was told by someone that RN pay scale is very low. Someone I know told me RNs make less than 18.00 an hour. Can anyone advise me if this is...

  8. any jobs for new grads in fl

    Preeps replied to skny's topic in Florida Nursing

    I agree. Florida hospital does hire new grads, BSN and ASN. But it is pretty competitive. My floor hired about 6 new grads in the last 3 months. I believe atleast 1/2 had BSNs. There was a rumor that...

  9. Is nursing theory actually used by working nurses?

    Preeps replied to BCRNA's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    We used Betty Neuman. Really what a joke. Trying to make something so simple complicated. I say don't get bogged down in theory but use compassion and safe, evidence based practice as your

  10. What are the expectations of a new grad

    Preeps replied to jnabc1432's topic in General Nursing

    The definition of a grad nurse is someone who has been a nurse less than one year. If we are working under the same definition then I think working as charge is completely out of line. But it does...

  11. Do i stand a chance to become a nurse. G.P.A=3.1

    Preeps replied to Mithie's topic in Florida Nursing

    I agree that you should retake any core classes below a B. A&P included. And I dont believe working a 40 hour week job is conducive to suceeding in nursing school. Could you work part time...

  12. Is nursing theory actually used by working nurses?

    Preeps replied to BCRNA's topic in Nursing Professionalism

  13. Is nursing theory actually used by working nurses?

    Preeps replied to BCRNA's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    And YES, I agree with your opinion! I believe nursing is an art and a science but not getting enough clinicial time is IMO one of the biggest failure in nursing programs today. It is truly...

  14. Blood Transfusion

    Preeps replied to prettyinblu's topic in General Nursing

    I think hanging blood is a big deal actually. That is why all the checks and double checks and two nurse verification. My floor has its issues but being there for another nurse when blood arrives...

  15. Nursing in the next 10 years

    Preeps replied to linguine's topic in General Nursing

    i agree completely. and i don't think we will have a nursing shortage again any time soon. bad news for salaries. there are too many people out there who see nursing as a sure thing for job...

  16. Nursing in the next 10 years

    Preeps replied to linguine's topic in General Nursing

    I agree they want nurses to have more education-BSN minimum. But at my place of employment they have us doing more manual labor-tech jobs. Getting rid of techs completely. In fact we are required to...

  17. Keiser University a good or bad choice?

    Preeps replied to CombatMedic88's topic in Florida Nursing

    If your a veteran is it a correct assumption that the gov't will pay for your nursing school? If so then unlike many cost is not a problem (so big relief there). Keiser students have been coming to...

  18. Anyone a new grad working at FLorida Hospital or Orlando Health?

    Preeps replied to Renee4christ's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hi I'm not quite sure what you mean. Most nurses work 3 12's so it's 72 hours every pay check. Not sure about the holiday pay but it usually only ends up being around $20.00 or so extra if you work...

  19. Anyone a new grad working at FLorida Hospital or Orlando Health?

    Preeps replied to Renee4christ's topic in Florida Nursing

    Wait, what do you mean the 13,500 contract they are asking Gns to sign? Do you mean you have to pay that amount back if you don't fulfill the contract? How long are you commited for? I must admit I...

  20. Anyone a new grad working at FLorida Hospital or Orlando Health?

    Preeps replied to Renee4christ's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hi. No you don't get any extra supplement for working a specialty floor. And as far as holiday pay it is a small percentage over your base rate but not anything close to double pay. I don't even...

  21. I hate nursing..

    Preeps replied to flygirls2's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree. Get out while you can. I am sorry you are in such a situation and I can relate. You have a life and a family outside of the place you are employed. And you do not need people treating you...

  22. I hate nursing..

    Preeps replied to flygirls2's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hey, I've heard that theory as well. I don't know if going to nursing school is a waste of time but I get your point. I loved learning in nursing school. I loved learning about the body (A$P, and...

  23. No jobs in florida for new grads

    Preeps replied to pmeeksSN's topic in Florida Nursing

    Ok then I guess you expressed yourself. You seem very angry so I will not bother with you any more. But yes, my empathy is sincere and yes your post did reek a bit of feeling like you were somehow...

  24. No jobs in florida for new grads

    Preeps replied to pmeeksSN's topic in Florida Nursing

    Wait! why are you directing your anger at me? I came on and stated that I knew two floors at the place I work that are hiring grad nurses-knew this for a fact. I thought I was being helpful. My...

  25. No jobs in florida for new grads

    Preeps replied to pmeeksSN's topic in Florida Nursing

    No, they probably would not help with relocation because they have so many people willing to take the job and be happy to have one. But everyone on here is saying there are no jobs in Florida but...
