  1. How old is too old to become a new RN?

    Borntobenurse? replied to CathyH's topic in General Nursing

    Technically no, in reality yes. You can finish and probably get a job. Even tho you have the advantage of not being in a physical profession for most of your work life, I still don't think you would...

  2. How much is a normal raise

    Borntobenurse? replied to Sully64's topic in General Nursing

    I have been a nurse for about 7 years, and have been at 7 hospitals (some of that do to traveling, other parts caused I switched positions). My first job was for $21 in 2009 at a Med Tele. Quit...

  3. Student Loan Debt

    Borntobenurse? replied to KeepItRealRN's topic in General Students

    With the time requirements on when you must complete programs to still be eligable for aid (i.e 150% or 6 years for a 4 year program), most students feel like they can't stop. I remember my school...

  4. Best Hospitals in California

    Borntobenurse? posted a topic in California Nursing

    I have been working as a RN in Florida for the past couple years, and in general my nursing experience can be described as a 3/10, not good. I have spent the last year on a Surgical/Trauma/Medical...

  5. Fired for a medication error

    Borntobenurse? replied to stiches's topic in Nursing Career

    You know I would say come on who would do that, but then I remember a GN giving lipids through a peripheral line, and not even piggybacked on anything. He got fired too, but he works in rehab now so...

  6. Everyone wants to be a nurse

    Borntobenurse? replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    I definitely share this sentiment (i.e. emotional reward of nursing). Pt's ask me all the time about how 'rewarding' it si to be a nurse. I have decided that the pefect answer is "its tough, but...

  7. Making RNs Obtain a Baccalaureate Degree?

    Borntobenurse? replied to Chronis's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I am 100% on board with this. It is absolutely the truth. Although I do think experience does play a role I think staffing plays a bigger

  8. Making RNs Obtain a Baccalaureate Degree?

    Borntobenurse? replied to Chronis's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I am glad you like your boss, but some of my 'old time bosses' couldn't be grandfathered out fast enough for me (and one in particular still isn't

  9. Best Hospitals in California

    Borntobenurse? replied to Borntobenurse?'s topic in California Nursing

    Thanks for the reply. I appreciate the time and insight you have given. I am not impressed by magnet, based on my current exp. At my current hospital they say they are trying to achieve 'magnet...

  10. Are oral contraceptives healthcare?

    Borntobenurse? replied to cargalrn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Your view is predicated on selfishness. You don't need it, so you don't want it to be be regulated. I don't need synthroid or BP pills. I guess if I had your point of view I don't think those should...

  12. Where Is The Worst place to work in Florida?

    Borntobenurse? replied to MsMorningGlory's topic in Florida Nursing

    Just to add something about the west florida hospitals, specifically TMH. Now in general about TMH, the cons are pretty simple. There is definately no such thing as a lift team. You are on your own,...

  13. Frustrated LPN

    Borntobenurse? replied to paulahill's topic in Florida Nursing

    I think I would place finding a job as a higher priority then finishing the RN. You will be cutting yourself out of the jobs that only take LPN's by finishing the degree (i.e. outpatient clinics, MD...

  14. Nursing layoffs or difficulty getting jobs? 2011 wages?

    Borntobenurse? replied to PhantomDelight25's topic in Florida Nursing

    More debt is not a reason to stay out of medical. Hospitals still offer loan repayments to MD (And I mean big loan repayment). If your lucky they might give you 2k as an RN for a 2 year commitment...

  16. What's up with Florida Hospital?

    Borntobenurse? replied to aimswenk's topic in Florida Nursing

    Unless you know someone (like a manager or their friend) you will have a real hard time getting in any of the central florida campus'. H1B's are going away for nurses. Every now and then I hear peeps...

  19. Pre-nursing student needs help figuring out life! :) Is nursing worth it?

    Borntobenurse? replied to cupcakes9's topic in Florida Nursing

    If you want to be advanced practice just skip the nursing. Go for Anestisiology Assistant or P.A. If all you are trying to do is use nursing as a stepping stone to something else it will just **** you...

  20. Tallahassee Memorial

    Borntobenurse? replied to BiologyNerd's topic in Florida Nursing

    They are both bad. The only reason anyone gets hired at these hospitals is A. I have family in tallahassee and can't leave or B. I am a new grad and can't get a job anywhere else. Needless to say...

  21. suicide of RN

    Borntobenurse? replied to kiabmok's topic in Washington Nursing

    This is exactly the kind of mentality hospitals have towards nurses that makes it impossible to be human. We are treated as a liability that hospitals try to find ways to cover by upping the ratio,...

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

    Borntobenurse? replied to Renee4christ's topic in Florida Nursing

    As a graduate of Florida Hospital College and a employee for 3 years. I will confirm that new is often looked at as better than old. Molly sees what she wants to see. I have known several friends who...
