  1. Johns Hopkins - BSN Univeristy of Florida - MSN (in
  2. The second poster's comment seems suspect. I couldn't find anything in the Florida nurse practice act that disqualifies someone with a mental illness from obtaining a license. Plus, wouldn't that...
  3. How Many Days Do You Work?

    The "Baylor Plan" involves working 2 12-hour shifts on Sat and Sun and being paid for 36 hrs or full time. Not very common these days with more hospitals going to rotating
  4. MSN, MAN whats the difference?

    Actually we do have MAN programs in the US. Off the top of my head I know that New York University has a few MAN tracks. MAN programs focus on topics such a holistic or palliative care and the
  5. You're working HOW MANY shifts?!

    Well I guess I will never again complain about working for a month. Months on end? How does one survive
  6. would like opinions

    I can't hear that well so I needed something with a little more amplification. However, I didn't want one of those bulky electronic ones so I went with a Philips. It is absolutely
  7. meds--are we supposed to know EVERYTHING??

    You have to be careful with doctor's orders. Many follow them blindly. Our docs used to write for 1-2 Tylox, 1-2 Fioricet and 1-2 Tylenol all Q4-6. And guess what lots of our nurses would give them...
  8. Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP)

    To Mymimi: I don't know where you are located in the south but the University of Florida just launched its DNP program. This year they only took those with a masters (no specific specialty needed)...
  9. You're working HOW MANY shifts?!

    31. Yes, one month straight. Mostly eights, some tens but also some days when I had to work 0700-1530 then come back 1900-2100 for special procedures. Overtime is great but not that great. My...
  10. Quadriplegia Question

    Did you ever see the documentary "Murderball"? They played a game that looked similar to wheelchair basketball but more physical. Well, the majority of the guys on the team were incomplete quads....
  11. Quadriplegia Question

    Did your assignment say if this was a complete or incomplete
  12. From what I have heard at my school the CNL will work more as a manager, case coordinator and educator. It would only be generic in the fact that the skill set you are learning could be applied to...
  13. can a single RN make it ok in Baltimore?

    Baltimore is a fantastic place to live. I was there a little over two years ago and I miss it dearly. Hopkins was also a great place to be. I have never been in a hospital where nurses received...
  14. higher pay for BSN grads?

    I started at a large teaching hospital where they gave BSNs $0.25 more an hour. However, it is a magnet hospital and they are pushing all the RNs to pursue their BSNs by paying for the
  15. Does anyone know of any online resources where I can find a complete neuro exam translated into Spanish? A few months ago a former coworker of mine came across one but I can't remember where she...
  16. Got the job....

    Hi All, The recruiter from the health dept finally called me today and told me I got the job. Then I immediately got nervous. I would be a paycut, ~7000 to be exact, but no weekends and of course it...
  17. Going to Hopkins in July! need some advice

    I looked at apts there once. I really wasn't all that impressed, especially with the price. Charles Towers is a much better deal, the apts are huge. If you were looking for slightly nice apts I...
  18. Specializing as a new grad?

    A neuro floor is very much a med-surg environment. Granted, neurosurgery "specials" as I like to call them, GCS of 7-8, trached, restrained, with a G-tube, etc are a different breed of patient. You...
  19. what not to ask at orientation

    I work at a large teaching hospital, one that serves patients from all over Florida. None of the nursing staff are required to be CPR certified but we have to demonstrate our skills once per
  20. Admission Nurse

    Anyone here work as an admission nurse in LTC? I was recently contacted about a position but wanted to get a little more info on the scope of the job. From what I have been told the position entails...
  21. Admission Nurse

    How many admissions does one average in a day? It sounds like the process takes the same amount of time as it does in the hospital. How is the rest of your shift spent? Are you ever pulled to...
  22. GN in Jacksonville, Florida!

    I've heard Baptist has a good 6 month program that will expose you to all different areas of nursing. I think it requires a two-year commitment. Good
  23. Hopkins vs. UMD

    Actually, you do get to state your preference as to clinical sites and
  24. Safe places to live while attending JHUSON?

    Mt. Vernon: You don't need a car, there is shuttle service to the school, you can walk to the Harbor, Little Italy, etc. Safe place, friendly people. It has the best bars and restaurants without all...
  25. Shock-Trauma Center

    I know for a fact that they do hire some new grads but I do not have specific info on internships, orientation,
