  2. Depression, schizophrenia, while going through pre-reqs?

    anc33 replied to narcissistic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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?

    anc33 replied to RainDreamer's topic in First Year After Licensure

    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?

    anc33 replied to K-Ann's topic in International Nursing

    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?!

    anc33 replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Nursing

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

  6. would like opinions

    anc33 replied to mystical_angel8's topic in General Nursing

    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??

    anc33 replied to MIA-RN1's topic in General Nursing

    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)

    anc33 replied to camillan2604's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    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?!

    anc33 replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Nursing

    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

    anc33 replied to mariedoreen's topic in General Nursing

    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

    anc33 replied to mariedoreen's topic in General Nursing

    Did your assignment say if this was a complete or incomplete

  12. Anyone graduated from a clinical nurse leader program?

    anc33 replied to arciedee's topic in Post Graduate Students

    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?

    anc33 replied to baby_gurl0604's topic in Maryland Nursing

    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?

    anc33 replied to evans_c1's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    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. neuro exam in spanish

    anc33 posted a topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

    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....

    anc33 posted a topic in Public, Community Health

    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

    anc33 replied to t2000JC's topic in Maryland Nursing

    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?

    anc33 replied to kasni's topic in General Nursing

    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

    anc33 replied to hello_nurse_mel's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    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

    anc33 posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    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

    anc33 replied to anc33's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    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!

    anc33 replied to Kat4422's topic in First Year After Licensure

    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

    anc33 replied to JenniferC's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Actually, you do get to state your preference as to clinical sites and

  24. Safe places to live while attending JHUSON?

    anc33 replied to smile123's topic in Maryland Nursing

    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...
