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

    Rick68fl replied to MsMorningGlory's topic in Florida Nursing

    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...

  2. RV's anyone???

    Rick68fl replied to RNERHOUSESUPOR's topic in Travel

  4. Didn't Receive paycheck

    Rick68fl replied to TheOracle's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  6. Do nurses have to clean up vomit?

    Rick68fl replied to sakiohma's topic in General Students

    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

  7. Flying juices

    Rick68fl replied to mpink74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

  8. scared sick....literally....need some advice here stat!

    Rick68fl replied to sasha2lady's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    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

  9. Do nurses have to clean up vomit?

    Rick68fl replied to sakiohma's topic in General Students

  12. Nursing and smoking....can it hinder your career?

    Rick68fl replied to Juryizout's topic in General Nursing

    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

  14. I'm a bad man. Someone help me.

    Rick68fl replied to Manepride's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    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...

  15. classic littman vs cardiology scope?

    Rick68fl replied to Good Morning, Gil's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    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...

  17. classic littman vs cardiology scope?

    Rick68fl replied to Good Morning, Gil's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have both. Received the Cardiac as a gift, and it is amazing! I bought a Classic (Light) one because the Cardiac is kind of fancy for regular med surg stuff. The Classic is nice, but you hear...

  18. Sexual Harrashment towards Men in the nursing profession!

    Rick68fl replied to Ev1987's topic in Men in Nursing

    EV1987, Based on what you have written and your response to other peoples' posts, you just seem to be one of those people who become offended over every little thing you see. If the behavior doesn't...

  19. What is with all the crying?

    Rick68fl posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I keep reading these posts: "Chemestry made me cry today." "I don't like my preceptor so I came home after clinical and cried all night." "The CNA on my floor was mean to me so I came home and cried."...

  20. Didn't like being a CNA, but 1st semester RN student.

    Rick68fl replied to ShaynaSmart's topic in General Students

    One thing to remember though. In your first semester of nursing school clinicals (or at least in mine) for the most part, all you will be doing will be CNA duties. So it will not be an indicator of...

  21. Healthcare professionals using insulting language

    Rick68fl replied to cayenne06's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I have also accidentally hurt peoples' feelings before and felt terrible about it. When you have a mouth as big as mine, unfortunately you are going to put your foot in it at times. Big...

  23. Healthcare professionals using insulting language

    Rick68fl replied to cayenne06's topic in General Nursing

    I have learned over the years that no matter what I do or say, some uptight busy-body is going to get his or her panties in a wad and be offended. So... I don't care anymore. Unless you are my boss,...

  24. Should I apply to jobs that state at least "1 year experience" ???

    Rick68fl replied to jasmine2008's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I would apply to all of them. What's the worst thing they can do, not hire you? That was how I got my current job, actually. My hospital had about 30 positions open for RNs with experience. Me (a...

  25. Satisfaction from wiping POO? GASP!

    Rick68fl replied to iluvhrts's topic in General Nursing

    Yuck. I don't even like wiping my own butt, let alone someone else's. Still, while I don't quite share your excitement about the issue, I try to treat my patients like I would want my parents to be...
