  1. *rolling my eyes*

    floridanurse1983 replied to OhioCCRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

  2. *rolling my eyes*

    floridanurse1983 replied to OhioCCRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

  3. *rolling my eyes*

    floridanurse1983 replied to OhioCCRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It was reported that she called CDC and told them her temp. They said it was below their threshold and did not tell her not to fly. Then head of CDC puts her on blast on the news blaming her. How...

  4. Is it fair for the media to blame the RN in Texas for contracting Ebola?

    floridanurse1983 replied to luv2's topic in Disaster Preparation

    How are you supposed to protect yourself? From what I'm reading, they want the staff to double glove and wear the water proof gowns provided. If these gowns are like the ones from my facility, they...

    floridanurse1983 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was mixing fake stool for my students to do an occult blood test out of chocolate pudding and applesauce. I was surprised it came up positive. Multiple times. I'm trying to place what would cause a...

    floridanurse1983 replied to Pachinko's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  12. Life is beautiful if one has his/her life centered on God

    floridanurse1983 replied to guyna's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    You can have all those great qualities and not believe in god. I've met some of the most horrid people who were devout church goers and some great people. Just like I've met some non believers on both...

  13. darn bed alarms

    floridanurse1983 replied to martymoose's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Try actually working dementia unit with all pts who should be on bed alarms and your facility switch to "alarm free with 15 mins checks". So beyond stupid. Or before when we had bed alarms and be...

  14. discovered and reported falsification of VS

    floridanurse1983 replied to traumaRNdrama's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I agree. I'm a nurse talking about how I can't take VS on all 32 pts so the aides who I delegate to with 10 pts a piece should be taking VS as directed. I was stating that the nurse should be able...

  15. Pretty down about being a new CNA

    floridanurse1983 replied to evack5318's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    First off, I did LPN first for financial reasons. Some you could afford to go to RN first but I could not. I seen a $19/hr paycheck was better than my $11 for an aide. RN school alone here is 2...

  16. discovered and reported falsification of VS

    floridanurse1983 replied to traumaRNdrama's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I don't know everyone's environment here, but when you work ltc and 32 pts and ALL are on BP meds it is IMPOSSIBLE to take all your own VS. It ain't gonna

  17. The Childish "I Wuv You" Act

    floridanurse1983 replied to LittleTwinStars's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Once again, you should look at your job environment and the OP. Your pts are knocked out and stuck on table. Not so in ER. Totally different animal and different circumstances. Your rational is...

  18. tatoos & piercings, part 2

    floridanurse1983 replied to amoLucia's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Last I checked that generation grew up in a time when it was okay to call African-American the "bad word" and it was okay for men to tell their "little women" what to do and when to do it. Guess...

  19. I was told "If they won't get out of bed don't hesitate to call rescue."

    floridanurse1983 replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Nursing

    If 911 was called everyday I didn't feel like getting out of bed, there would be an ambulance at my door every freakin day! How

  22. Why do some nurses use their titles as a big ego boost?

    floridanurse1983 replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm an LPN and I feel like OP is a little oversensitive. At least she didn't have people asking how come she "didn't want to be a real nurse." like I did. I went back and am graduating with my ADN...
