I work in Florida. I do not work in Miami, which is a COVID hotspot, but our city is a big Spring break hot spot. I work at two hospital systems, in two adjoining counties. Both are Med-surg jobs, one is seasonal, one is part-time. We have a lot of t...

Hello, I am 44 years old. I have been an RN since I was 20 (earned my ADN straight out of high school). I have 23 years of experience in med- surg, LTAC, dialysis. I am updating my resume in hopes of finding new opportunities. I felt as if ...

I am angered that they are blaming the nurse. The hospital has not a shred of evidence that she broke infection control protocol. Why aren't they blaming the patient who lied to airport screeners about his contact with Ebola victims in order to boar...

I am sorry you are having this problem. It seems extremely frustrating. Can you ask the client to show you how he does it? Can you have the other nurse show you how he/she is doing it? Its there some technique that you are or are not doing properl...

Hello, After 20 years in nursing, I have decided to pursue my BSN. I am considering 2 programs, one of which is WGU. I understand courses are graded on a pass/fail basis. Has anyone had trouble getting into an non-WGU MSN program with a WGU BSN? Tha...

I am also considering a program through a local college. It is less expensive than WGU and I know the credits will transfer anywhere. However, the local program would have annoying discussion boards and require a practicum in either leadership or com...

When I spoke with the HR rep, she said they DO allow dogs in the hospital apartments. I made sure of this, because I have 2 labs myself, (I won't be bringing them, however). The interviews were over the phone, one with the HR rep, and one with the ...

I applied in May, and was able to get an apartment furnished by the hospital. Apply early if you need housing, it fills up VERY quickly

The fact is most American doctors go to medical school oversees and most foreign doctors go to school in the U.S...Have her think about that for a while.

I am officially going. I will be working at the North Naples campus. Yes, they give you $800 housing stipend if you don't take their apartment, which I believe are all booked up by now.Go ahead and fill out the app online, and the recruiter will call...

It depends if you take the housing and or benefits. I took both housing and benefits and my hourly pay rate will be the same as I am making now at my "regular" job. Of course my "regular" job isn't providing housing. If you just take the straight pay...

Any mom/baby manager is more likely to hire a nurse with some med-surg experience than a new grad with no experience. You are learning skills you will use your whole career. Also, being in a hospital gives you an advantage because they are more like...

Nurseellen, I will be working at North Naples 2nd floor. Its a med-surg unit as well. I think it is similar to 4th floor. I am starting October 29th and staying for 6 months

I am going to NCH Naples North this winter. I applied back in May, when I first saw their ads. I am glad I did, because I was able to get their housing. I am curious about other's experiences also. I wish I had applied for a job at the downtown camp...

Kasmus, I am an acute dialysis nurse also, I am employed with the hospital, though. Not Davita or Fresenius. We can do 1:1 , or 2:3, sometimes 2:4, currently. However, Davita is making offers to our hospital claiming they can provide cheaper service...

I have been talking with NCH north campus, they are very friendly and easy to deal with. I am contemplating the different option packages. The 2 packages I am considering are: make $43.45/hr for 7 shifts in a 2 week period. 6 month agreement.No hou...

I guess I just need someone to talk to. Maybe get some ideas. The posts on this sites have been extremely helpful and there is a lot of wisdom out there. I have been an RN(ADN) for 16 years, I am single, I have a grown child who will be leaving home ...

Does anyone specifically know about NCH north campus? How are the nursing units? nurse:patient ratios?

P.S. I am not interested in living in Florida full-time. I just wanted a warm place for the winter

Thank you all for reading my post. I am still exploring options. I have found some seasonal positions in Arizona and Florida that look interesting. I applied for 2 in Florida and heard back from one recruiter today. I did not like my conversat...

Speaking of.....Care Bag Commode Liner (20 pack) :: Commodes :: Bathroom & Accessories :: Colonial Medical Assisted Devices

You said MARINES????!!! I will be there!:w00t:

Truth--For example, I am licensed in Indiana (not a compact state) and Wisconsin (a compact state). I know of many nurses who have licenses in Indiana and Kentucky or Indiana and Illinois.

TruthRN--- I don't think you LOSE your license in one state when you obtain licensure in another. You can have multiple licenses in different states.

I have worked for Select since 2004. I will tell you what I do not like about it. The paper charting is ridiculous. It is 8 pages, alot of duplicate charting and if a lawsuit were to happen, a nurse could easily hang her/himself with the charting. I...
