  1. ADN desperately seeking CAREER ADVICE.

    AlaBro2010 replied to KbmRN's topic in Nursing Career

    I was in state so I am not sure if it is different but University of South Florida's RN to BSN is inexpensive and an online program. It was great! Also, look into if your state offers tuition...

  2. Graduated 7 months ago FL- still no job!

    AlaBro2010 replied to Agriffin2's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Have you tried rural health clinics like FQHCs? An old colleague was hired right after

  3. Please Help, I'm new & made a huge med error, I'm devastated.

    AlaBro2010 replied to MasonDixieChic's topic in Patient Medications

    I've made a med error before. My colleagues told me that a good nurse reflects on their mistakes, learns, and never makes the same mistake again (versus someone who just says oh well). I've made a...

  4. Best area/ hospital to work in Florida

    AlaBro2010 replied to NursingInChaos's topic in Florida Nursing

    In between Brooksville and Orlando you've got Sumter and Lake County. Lake is a bit more suburban- Sumter is rural. I'd say look in Clermont. South Lake Hospital is

  5. 2016 Salary thread

    AlaBro2010 replied to kbrn2002's topic in General Nursing

    I am currently looking at other options because it's not enough take home with two kids. I may be in a "the grass is always greener on the other side" scenario though. I lived in FL and made 46,000...

  6. help! presentation for interview

    AlaBro2010 replied to nurseedu16's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'd suggest logging into your old school account and going into library resources. Search evidence based and women's health and pick a topic. That's what I would do anyways. I've worked in women's...

  8. New Grad LPN getting frustrated!!!

    AlaBro2010 replied to FutureRN-GA's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Do you live in an area where LPNs typically make more? I made $19 as an RN starting out, this was at a clinic and hospital RNs started at

  9. Got the Job!!! (Health Dept.)

    AlaBro2010 replied to wife&mommyRN's topic in Public, Community Health

    I had no experience when hired 3 years ago. I now work as a specially trained STI nurse. Different places have different ways of titling their positions. I'm now PHN whereas at my last position I...

  10. Adn Vs Bsn

    AlaBro2010 replied to Schwabee524's topic in General Students

    I didn't find the ADN to BSN bridge at all challenging. I took 18 credits the last term to finish a semester early. I also was a single mom at the time. I guess it depends on the program. I could...

  11. Are clinic and school nursing jobs "too easy"

    AlaBro2010 replied to Jenfred's topic in General Nursing

    I completely agree with the poster who recommended pediatric home health, you can try that PRN status and see if you like it and add onto your resume! I worked in a peds clinic at a health department...

  12. New Grad RN program $15/hr

    AlaBro2010 replied to WannaBNursey's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'd say thanks but no thanks for $15. I worked as a new grad at the health department (low stress, good hours, learned so much) making $19 and some amount of change. No thank you. The nearby...

  13. Labor pool?

    AlaBro2010 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi everyone, I currently work full time and I'm looking for two part time jobs to give me flexibility with school. I got a call back for a position that was listed as part time or pool. The...

    AlaBro2010 replied to AlaBro2010's topic in General Nursing

    Ok thanks for your

  15. Labor pool?

    AlaBro2010 replied to AlaBro2010's topic in General Nursing

    So you think it's more a back up list for call outs for OCC? Who knows, guess I should be patient and wait until she calls tomorrow. I've done immunizations and tb screenings/follow up as a public...

  16. Labor pool?

    AlaBro2010 replied to AlaBro2010's topic in General Nursing

    AlaBro2010 replied to rpiper4922's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Do they have an NP association nearby? A lot of students show up to request

  18. Adn Vs Bsn

    AlaBro2010 replied to Schwabee524's topic in General Students

    Get your ADN and then do an RN to BSN online bridge. My BSN has not given me anything... Except being proud I got it! Where I have worked a majority of the nurses have associates. I'm biased anyways...

  19. Could be pregnant. Gap year?

    AlaBro2010 replied to Nursingstudent2017's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know what the real question is. If the question is about delaying your schooling, then you'll be fine putting your dreams/goals on hold if you'd like to focus on motherhood. I know plenty of...

  20. Possible Needle stick and I am 22 weeks pregnant

    AlaBro2010 replied to lolis55's topic in General Nursing

    I'll tell you that I worry about scratches all the time on my hands. I WATCH all my needles and I'm still a worry wart. We use paper charts so I'm pretty sure it's from

  23. New Grad - OK to start with PH with no clinical experience?

    AlaBro2010 replied to caryt123's topic in Public, Community Health

    It isn't easy to get into public health that's for sure. I got lucky because I was fine with moving wherever I had to. I actually moved 45 miles into a very rural county to get my foot in the door....

  24. Nurses who never worked in the hospital

    AlaBro2010 replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Nursing

    1. Did you start out looking for a hospital job? If yes, for how long? I was willing to start wherever- I was eager to learn anything. I looked for a position for about 3 months. 2. What made you...

  25. University of South Alabama, Fall 2014

    AlaBro2010 replied to Hope85's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Well, I am still waiting on my schedule. I'm not really that worried about it I'm just curious as to how they set it up. Seems like I am one of the last few to still be
