parkview pays better by a long run

DO NOT GO TO BROWN WACKIE. I don't know if you saw the article in the newspaper about them, but getting a degree there is basically worthless. Literally no classes transfer, and most hospitals have banned brown mackie from working on their units because of some past stuff. ****** ****** at USF is very helpful, just stay the **** away from ***** ***** like she has the ******* plague. If you take the time to sit down and meet with financial advisors at st. franny, i promise the education will be so much better, and it's actually an accredited program...which means more schools will let you transfer gen ed classes, maybe.

depending on where you live, you may have a good chance of actually being one of the lucky ones who gets a job right after school. I live in the west coast and I have received so many letters saying the company chose to go with another candidate. I've also heard from my friends that work in management that supervisors always try and hire the book smart people, but then eventually realize they have no bedside rapport and can't even hold a conversation for the two minutes they're in there. Your best bed is to join the service, and.....no offense, (but allow them to brain wash you) to be all that you can be! and then go through their additional healthcare training courses and you'll be set. travel nursing is an up and coming popular career nurses are looking into as well. don't give up just yet, but be prepared to apply for a ridiculous amount of jobs, and take what you can get just so you can at least get your foot in the door.

i'm not even going to sugar coat it...med surg is the most depressing place to work. ever. this has nothing to do with the patients, more with the staff and EVERYONE always being snippy and having an attitude. I completely understand we have a lot on our plates, but most of my other coworkers pass all their work off to the poor techs, who bust their ass more than a lot of the nurses I work with. The atmosphere on a med surg unit isn't a very comforting one too. Remember always hearing how nurses like to eat their young? well, this is what they were talking about. They don't care if you succeed or not, and even when I brought this up to the supervisor she dismissed my claims as just being nervous to get to know everyone. Little did my staff know, I come from a very strong psych background of about 10 years with at an inpatient penitentiary as well performing all the initial assessment for patients being admitted into the psych ward. So, you kind of just have to keep acting polite and cordial, make sure the supervisor is aware of how hard you're working. And as for the meds not being passed on time, either deal with it or become that patient's advocate and make your voice known that you actually care about the people in the hospital, and are making them your first priority rather than denying them their scheduled medications that the Doctor ordered to be given at certain times. I would first make anonymous complaints to another supervisor in human resources or call over to patient rights and responsibilities. At least make it known that people aren't charting accurate information, and you don't want to put anyone in danger by disobeying the rules because the nurses are too busy lounging around ******** how hard their career is.....when ironically, most of them do them do bare minimum to get by each day.

The nursing department at USF is very corrupt and political. Although the degree looks good on paper, it is not even close to being worth the ridiculous amount of tuition (which just raised this year too!). This school is just known for their name...the students aren't gifted or anything near that. They do have better hands on patient skills and are more well rounded communication wise.
