  1. Gift for Preceptor and unit?

    DowntheRiver replied to Scottishtape's topic in General Nursing

    I did bagels and a fruit tray along with a thank you card for the whole Ortho

  2. Just Finished RN-BSN Program

    DowntheRiver replied to commonsense's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    You have a RN license, correct? I believe that satisfies the requirement. As far as working goes, you are required to have access to patients or nursing managers for certain classes such as Health...

  3. Legacy of the Family vs Co-op

    DowntheRiver replied to Vana21's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I vote Legacy of the Family as well. I literally start that class tomorrow (technically) and I've already completed two of the three assignments just based off stuff I've already done. Just one more...

  4. RN-BSN Completion time

    DowntheRiver replied to ItsYourJourney's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    When I am done, it will have taken me 2 years. I had to take 5 of the additional "pre-req" classes so I was not in the same boat as you. I started in August 2015 and will graduate in August 2017. It...

  5. How am I gonna pay for this???

    DowntheRiver replied to lebelesprit_'s topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Those forgiveness programs are not guaranteed, even for public servants such as myself. You basically have to have a debt to income ratio of above 120% and your site has to have a certain score to...

  6. out with injury and more

    DowntheRiver replied to nursesaysay's topic in General Nursing

    I would gladly take the time off right now. For me, I'd pick up an extra class so I could graduate in the summer instead of the fall. Some ideas of what you could do: 1. Deep clean your...

  7. Injection Gone Wrong: Part 1

    DowntheRiver replied to Brenda F. Johnson's topic in General Nursing

    1. It's not uncommon for individuals to feel sick or like they are going to pass out after receiving a shot, most likely within 15 minutes. 2. Telling a patient that someone else is there for the same...

  8. HELP new school nurse/immunizations

    DowntheRiver replied to bandaidsplease's topic in School

    You can look the kids up on LINKS LINKS-Web Main Page http://new.dhh.louisiana.gov/assets/oph/Center-PHCH/Center-PH/immunizations/Imm_Schedule.pdf Pay close attention to the AFTER the 4th birthday...

  9. I did a Google search, and my RN information and a bunch of other things are there?

    DowntheRiver replied to rumwynnieRN's topic in General Nursing

    I live in Florida as well and was VERY unsettled to see my info and my private cell phone number on that same website. I don't have any stalkers, but there are definitely people from my past that I...

  10. Interviewer laughed at me!

    DowntheRiver replied to Corky,LPN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    There's a difference between a laugh and a chuckle. I've had someone chuckle at a joke I made during an interview or at a comment I've made but it never felt offensive. I don't know, I'm a pretty...

  11. From Cali to Florida

    DowntheRiver replied to fieldR's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it is unreasonable to expect $28-$30/hour in Jacksonville with 5 years

  12. Move onto new job or stay at current one?

    DowntheRiver replied to RNJV's topic in General Nursing

    As someone who changed jobs six months ago and added to her commute, I can tell you it was NOT worth it. Granted, I love my job, but I do not like the commute. I went from commuting 35 minutes three...

  13. BSN salary?

    DowntheRiver replied to Kaitlyn.w's topic in General Nursing

    I currently reside and work in Florida as a nurse. In Central Florida, you are looking at approximately $23-$25 hourly starting, and $26-$27 hourly. This does not include differentials, which range...

  14. How aggressive should I be with this job?

    DowntheRiver replied to FuturePN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I started as a new grad RN in Urgent Care after working as a MA for 2 years during nursing school for a competing Urgent Care - your post is almost dejavu! It was a great start - I only left the...

  15. Participation Compensation

    DowntheRiver replied to doctoral_candidate17's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I've never been compensated for filling out surveys before. Usually they come through my professional email from the BON asking if you'd like to participate. I always do if they're not longer than 15...

  16. Nursing Student From Hell

    DowntheRiver replied to DWelly14's topic in General Nursing

    Wish you had been my preceptor. I mean, my preceptor was great, and by the time I was done I was able to care for 4 patients on my own with minimal to no assistance. But she never stayed late with me...

  17. BSN to DNP?

    DowntheRiver replied to kkgiller's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    MQA is Florida, right? In FL I believe you can call TOD in a hospice

  18. Go Fund Me for Co-workers?

    DowntheRiver replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's strange, I was just thinking about this the other day. It is like you read my mind. How did our parent's generation survive without Go Fund Me? I mean, if they did it, why can't we? That's what...

  19. My hair is dyed.. Job interview

    DowntheRiver replied to mallerina87's topic in General Nursing

    I used to color my ends pink. That way, if I needed to hide it I could hide it by put it up in one of those roll up buns. If any peek out just but a hair-colored hair tie over the bun. Worked like a...

  20. Unsupported at home.

    DowntheRiver replied to NewbieNurse91's topic in General Nursing

    I third the housecleaner comment. We have someone come in every two weeks to clean the house. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. I have a fairly understanding husband, and we had a similar...

  21. The Lamentations of a Distressed RN (New Grad)

    DowntheRiver replied to deebee20's topic in General Nursing

    Somebody already mentioned Florida Hospital. They have so many all over Florida that you would have multiple campuses to chose from. I'd highly suggest you check them out, particularly because I know...

  22. Refusing to do Surgery Outpatient due to Bleomycin in 2008

    DowntheRiver posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello all - I was just wondering if any of you could provide evidence of the rationale behind denying somebody the ability to have a kidney stone removed in an outpatient setting under general...

  23. Has anyone challenged the board in CA, got their LVN and was able to use it in TX?

    DowntheRiver replied to marsalette's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    BUT - you are still correct. I don't think you can endorse the challenged LPN license to another

  24. Has anyone challenged the board in CA, got their LVN and was able to use it in TX?

    DowntheRiver replied to marsalette's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    In Florida you can still challenge the LPN exam if you've completed certain RN classes but not graduated from a LPN or RN

  25. What was the REAL reason you called off

    DowntheRiver replied to Orion81RN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm taking off work tomorrow and Tuesday because I'm passing dual kidney stones right now in the ER. They're discharging me and then hopefully I pass them tonight or tomorrow and can see the Urologist...
