  2. Anybody really love your job?

  4. Traveling Correctional nurse?

    :kiss I've been working in the correctional field for over 15 years (agency). Recently the prisons in this area have become privatized and rarely call for agency. I'd love to take a travel position but all I find are for hospital nurses. It's a littl...

  12. 12N Sleeping During Break

    Check your State or the Federal Labor Laws. I think this nurse may have a case against the hospital. If you are not compensated for your lunch none of that time belongs to your employer.They can't tell you you must be available or anything else. Y...
  13. to all homeowners in florida...

    Cutenurse is right. Houses are going like hotcakes in Florida. If the seller is stalling she may be waiting for you to get mad and cancel the contract so she can get more money for it. As mentioned, have your realtor have $$ held in escarow, or clean...

  15. Why Correctional Nursing

    I think I posted quite a bit in another thread. I'll try to find it. Would be a good way to "pay back the state" for student loans IF the medical dept. in your state prisons are actually run by the state and not a private agency. Some county jails co...
  16. Use of Certified Medication Techs in a Prison

    Delorus, Sorry I'm a year late but I was just reviewing some of my past posts and saw this..In Florida DOC our pharmacy tech's may prepare meds(as in fill a prescription) only under the direct supervision of the pharmacist. Now our meds may come pre...
  17. One Slick Dude!

    I'm lmao. I have a few of my own ways. A WHOLE BOX of ammonia ampules, broken and held in a couple of 4x4's over the nose and mouth snuggly, usually brings em' around eventually, though some can hold their breath quite a while. Chest pain in 21y/o ...
  18. Cosmetic Treatments for Inmates

    LOL, many years ago some bleeding heart liberals decided that many inmates lived a life of crime because they were UGLY!! So a program was set up to give the worst of them plastic surgery on their faces to correct big ugly noses and other facial abno...
  19. Why Isn't Florida a Compact State?

    Anybody have the inside scoop as to what is holding up Florida from becoming a compact state? I've been a nurse here for 27 years and never thought about it before. Now I'd like to do some travel nursing and it would be so much easier if Fl. was comp...

  21. Why Isn't Florida a Compact State?

    I'm ASSuming(and we all know where that gets you), that it would be easier to go from state to state(compact that is) than to apply to and wait for and pay for licenses in each state you wanted to go to. Like right now, I'm looking for a correctional...
  22. Any Treasure Coast area nurses here?

    Tony, are you speaking of our local hospital? I don't know but I have a few friends that work there, I can find out, but it does differ with specialty and experience. Nurses I knew back when we were making $4.20 an hour at the hospital are now making...
