  1. NICU vs. ICU

    SarasotaRN2b replied to SarasotaRN2b's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    It sure does, thanks a lot, Humbled

  2. NICU vs. ICU

    SarasotaRN2b posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Hi all, I know that NICU is a specialty all its own, but I was curious of the similarities between the two. If I got a book on Critical Care would it be a good source if I want to work in a NICU?...

  3. Iv Cannulation Insertion Tips And Documentation

    SarasotaRN2b replied to johan john's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Considering the size of the preemies and their respective arteries, do you use any of those UV vein finders (sorry don't know the correct name)? I mean, it is tough enough with adults who are...

  4. Manatee Community College - Venice

    SarasotaRN2b replied to Whiffa's topic in Florida Nursing

    What area of pediatrics are you working in? Are you in a children's hospital? Bradenton is okay, I'm just missing the hustle and bustle of NY.

  5. Manatee Community College - Venice

    SarasotaRN2b replied to Whiffa's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hey Bumblebee, Well, to me it sounds like you took your nursing education seriously and worked your butt off (Congrats on the RN), so the prereq requirement would have lost out on you if that was so....

  6. Manatee Community College - Venice

    SarasotaRN2b replied to Whiffa's topic in Florida Nursing

    I have to say that from the very start, they want us to succeed. This is not to say that they were easy on us for what is required, but they weren't looking for us to fail. The truth is the way they...

  7. Please help me with my new Customer-er...I mean Pt

    SarasotaRN2b replied to KellNY's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Ouch! That's harsh. Not every older mom is in that category, just as not every young mom is. Don't generalize. Yes, this particular one has a high sense of entitlement, but don't lump everyone...

  8. Manatee Community College - Venice

    SarasotaRN2b replied to Whiffa's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hi Bumblebee, after a few false starts, I just finished my first semester at MCC Bradenton. I enjoyed and miss it now that it is summer! I'm actually counting down till I start back up again in...

  9. two offers-what to do????

    SarasotaRN2b replied to citygrl646's topic in New York Nursing

    Congratulations! That's great! I guess I would wait to make any decision until you have that second interview. I would want something solid in my hand before I turn down a sure thing. Once you get...

  10. Is it Realistic???

    SarasotaRN2b replied to Suhvannah's topic in New York Nursing

    Hi Suhvannah, I sent you a PM.

  11. surviving school without study partners

    SarasotaRN2b replied to Jaxs's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I would say that I study alone 95% of the time, and the other 5% is with a classmate when we get together once a week. I will, however, share tips I've learned on my own (or through this forum) with...

  12. I want to move to NYC after I graduate

    SarasotaRN2b replied to myrose's topic in New York Nursing

    Okay, while I agree with you all about the high cost of rent and stuff, somehow it doesn't change the fact that (for me) living in NYC is something I am willing to compromise on whether it eating...

  13. North Shore University RN Fellowship? Input needed!

    SarasotaRN2b replied to billythekid's topic in New York Nursing

    Just wanted to bump this to the top to see how BillytheKid is doing! I'm living in anticipation!

  14. San Diego Cost of Living vs. Manhattan Cost of Living

    SarasotaRN2b replied to amj1979's topic in California Nursing

    Diversity...New York is definitely diverse. For me at least, Manhattan is totally different and has a energy all its own...no comparison anywhere. yes the cost of living is higher, but there are...

  15. Why the high drop out rate of nursing students?

    SarasotaRN2b replied to newhere_noname's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I think a good suggestion is having a prerequisite of having a CNA and working as an aide for a little while. At the very least, they should see about shadowing a nurse. While our nursing school...

  16. My pt. punched her SO...

    SarasotaRN2b replied to shortstuff31117's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I guess I am going to be the dissenter here. Yeah her reaction may have been a little overboard, but you are only hearing what the nurse saw at that time, not what may have actually happened. Knowing...

  17. Thinking of moving back to NY to get autistic child back on track

    SarasotaRN2b replied to mp2005's topic in New York Nursing

    Well, at least you have some family and support here. Maybe once you get some experience here, moving back will be easier too. what part of FLA do you live in? I'm on the Gulf Coast.

  18. Thinking of moving back to NY to get autistic child back on track

    SarasotaRN2b replied to mp2005's topic in New York Nursing

    Hi mp2005, I, too, am a transplant from NY to Florida and I do agree with you. Unfortunately, Florida doesn't really care about their youngest residents...it is just talk. I don't have children,...

  19. What is a shift like for a PP/mother/baby nurse?

    SarasotaRN2b replied to momma/babyrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thank you very much, sunny. It definitely seems a like a full night for you, but definitely interesting.

  20. Moving to Orlando, in need of advice

    SarasotaRN2b replied to drew123's topic in Florida Nursing

    Why are you having problems finding work? Have you made person-to-person inquiries in hospitals in Orlando or has everything been done at a distance? That could be the problem.

  21. Why the high drop out rate of nursing students?

    SarasotaRN2b replied to newhere_noname's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Well, I just finished my first semester of nursing school and out of 43 students, I believe we lost about 1/3. Reasons included realizing nursing isn't the career for them or they were failing....

  22. What is a shift like for a PP/mother/baby nurse?

    SarasotaRN2b replied to momma/babyrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Any night shift mother/baby nurses? How does your shift play

  23. Reading Cardiac Sinus Rhythm strips

    SarasotaRN2b replied to mitexas4's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It's not Tordade, it is Torsades de pointes (maybe you made a typo). It could look like vtach, but as you can see, the waves go up and then down.

  24. Forgot how to be "normal"

    SarasotaRN2b replied to Wondergirl0905's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Yep, I just finished my first semester and I'm on summer break and have no idea what to do. I work 2 12hr shifts and at this time can't get more work due to it being off season

  25. North Shore University RN Fellowship? Input needed!

    SarasotaRN2b replied to billythekid's topic in New York Nursing

    More, more....that's just a
