  1. Name the hospital and its Starting Salary!!!

    SarasotaRN2b replied to amadime1's topic in New York Nursing

    You might want to post this to the international forum. I believe that the moderators on that site are more able to answer your questions.

  2. North Shore University RN Fellowship? Input needed!

    SarasotaRN2b replied to billythekid's topic in New York Nursing

    First congratulations on your interview...that's great! It's something I am definitely looking into when I finish school (I'm only finishing semester #1/#4). Remember, an interview is a 2-way...

  3. Hospials to work at in Bradenton area

    SarasotaRN2b replied to sunnyg's topic in Florida Nursing

    I won't deny that when the census is low during the summer, there is a greater chance of being either floated or flexed...but that is for many of the hospitals in Florida unfortunately because of the...

  4. BSN program in Sarasota/Bradenton?

    SarasotaRN2b replied to oceansummer's topic in Florida Nursing

    I know that. I wrote that a couple of nurses (i.e. RNs) are going for their BSN. I think that on the west coast if you are going straight for the BSN you either need to go to further south (Gulf...

  5. Hospials to work at in Bradenton area

    SarasotaRN2b replied to sunnyg's topic in Florida Nursing

    Yeah, I'm still there...as with every place there are pluses and minuses, right? I think that as long as I stay down here in FLA, I will stay there. The pay isn't too bad. I'm not a nurse yet so...

  6. Calling Docs by their first name...

    SarasotaRN2b replied to zamboni's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree. For the OP, if they ask you to call them by their first name...fine do so (definitely makes them more approachable), but I also agree with the using their proper title when in front...

  7. Need a nursing school which does not require prerquisites for admission

    SarasotaRN2b replied to Ewurafia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have to agree with the posters above...also, even if there were, you would really be doing yourself a major disservice if you did go into a nursing program without at least A&P and microbiology....

  8. Transition from ortho to SICU

    SarasotaRN2b replied to BillboSN's topic in MICU, SICU

    I would definitely consider this position. As the poster states, in ortho you will have a lot of follow up with trauma cases, and if it is somewhere that you really want to work...DO IT! The first...

  9. Phlebotomy or Health Unit Coordinator

    SarasotaRN2b replied to West Valley's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Out of those two choices, I would say HUC. As a HUC, I have found that it has helped in learning something about charting (a major part of nursing) and it gives you an opportunity to really work with...

  11. What is good time management ???

    SarasotaRN2b replied to aussiemum's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Is it your supervisors that are saying that you don't have good time mgmt skills? I would suggest that you speak with them and get some detailed info on what they are requesting. I guess if I was...

  12. Job while going to school?

    SarasotaRN2b replied to NurseBanana's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Sarah, Since you aren't in the program yet, my suggestion would be to try to get your CNA and work on a hospital floor. While I have experience as a health unit clerk which helps me with some...

  13. Job while going to school?

    SarasotaRN2b replied to NurseBanana's topic in General Nursing

    Are you in nursing school now? I would definitely suggest that unless you have to work, to wait until after your first semester. Many hospitals will hire you after you finish your first semester as...

  14. Age limit?

    SarasotaRN2b posted a topic in Government, Military

    I was just curious about if there is an age limit for nurses looking at joining the reserves. At our Health Fair today at our CC, there was a Army Reserve Recruitor that spoke with one of my...

  15. Age limit?

    SarasotaRN2b replied to SarasotaRN2b's topic in Government, Military

    Thank

  16. When should I take boards/start a new job?

    SarasotaRN2b replied to imlivinit's topic in Nursing Career

    I would definitely suggest your taking the NCLEX as soon after you graduate as possible. You'll still be in a study mode. I've noticed that with that many of the new nurses we have on the floor, did...

  17. Are my ears broken?stethoscope bad?

    SarasotaRN2b replied to vivasmom's topic in General Students

    When you tap on the diaphragm, are you able to hear that? As long as you have the ear pieces turned the right way, you should definitely hear the apical pulse. Just like natania suggested, check...

  18. Exhausted

    SarasotaRN2b replied to babiesRmylife's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Actually, I think it depends on whether you work days or nights...personally, I feel that whether you work 3 days in a row or 2 days and then another, it is very different than when you work the...

  19. I have never been nasty to a student until now!!!

    SarasotaRN2b replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    That is a major no-no! :nono: The only major exception would be if there was some family emergency and they gave you advanced notice. It is good that you said something. What semester is the student...

  20. Hospitals The Only Choice For New Grads?

    SarasotaRN2b replied to mammaoftwo's topic in General Nursing

    It really depends on the hospital...some hire LPNs, some don't. On the cardiac floor we actually have some LPNs that near do everything the RN does. They do have some advanced certifications.

  21. I love the NICU

    SarasotaRN2b replied to NeuroNP's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Sounds like you had a great experience, Bryan. Good for you and your initiative.

  22. How do Nurses handle the DEMANDING Work Hours?!?

    SarasotaRN2b replied to gbarrera2's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Gloria, First, congratulations on your graduation! That is an achievement you should be very proud of. Next, while it is true as a new employee you maybe lower on the totem pole and may have less...

    SarasotaRN2b posted a topic in New York Nursing

    I was just curious about what hospitals in NYC that you would definitely recommend and why. Thanks!

  24. Jobless Adn~ Rn?

    SarasotaRN2b replied to Bklyngurl's topic in New York Nursing

    Did you get the job at North Shore? Which hospital/department will you be working in? I used to work at the Manhasset campus years ago...maybe one day again! Congratulations:yeah:

  25. Exhausted

    SarasotaRN2b replied to babiesRmylife's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Are you reading my mind? Because I can totally relate!!! I think I got it worse though...you at least get to look at those little ones, I'm having to stare at two cardiac monitors...ugh! The clock...
