  1. Where Is The Worst place to work in Florida?

    I got hired by an HCA hospital on the gulf coast as a new grad and while there are some things that I don't particularly care for, it is not a bad place to work so far. Pay: $22 per hr plus $4.50 night diff. Ratios: 1:7 on nights. The only real neg...
  2. RV's anyone???

    Hi Rod, I've been following your thread. What has changed? Getting tired of it? I have often thought about two places as well. Kind of like being a paid snowbird.
  3. Violated NCLEX rules

    You might want to leave your phone in the car for the retest... Just sayin.'
  4. Didn't Receive paycheck

    Wow. If I owned that clinic, I would be spending the weekend figuring out a way to replace you with another nurse. We live in the era of direct deposit. Get it and you will get paid on time (or maybe even early). If you refuse to get it, don't expe...
  5. How to NOT interview for your RN/LPN job!

  6. Do nurses have to clean up vomit?

    Oohh, I like that. Sucking on a Halls cough drop under a mask works great too. I've heard about the Vicks thing, and it makes sense. I have just never gotten around to buying any.
  7. Flying juices

    I got a bedpan filled with urine dumped on my foot yesterday, does that count? Seriously though, you will get splashed. Count on it happening. If you anticipate it happening, wear a mask, gown, eye shield, booties, etc. When it happens unexpectedly,...
  8. scared sick....literally....need some advice here stat!

    Sounds like you need to go to the director of nursing. If that doesn't get you a response, go to whoever is responsible for risk management.
  9. Do nurses have to clean up vomit?

    Too funny! Vomit is one of the least offensive things we have to clean up on a regular basis.
  10. Did I catch this guy in a lie?

    Yup! I'm with the majority.
  11. Nursing and smoking....can it hinder your career?

    ^^^ I wish I could like that one more than once. ^^^ (And this is coming from a former smoker)
  12. Nursing and smoking....can it hinder your career?

    Even if there was not such a policy, having a cigarette right before your interview may very well prevent you from being hired also, just because of the smell.
  13. Didn't like being a CNA, but 1st semester RN student.

    When will you actually start clinicals?
  14. I'm a bad man. Someone help me.

    If this was the way it happened and you were never convicted of anything then you shouldn't have anything to worry about. However, if you were booked into the system, there is a disposition of some sort. Whether that disposition is a conviction, a d...
  15. classic littman vs cardiology scope?

    I would recommend it to anyone who wants to hear better. You hear everything better, whether heart sounds, lung sounds, abd sounds - whatever. It is a little bit heavier, but not enough to worry about. I like it better than my other one, I just thin...
