  1. Hello everyone! I'm looking for information about graduate nurse programs, patient ratios, opinions on work life, and possible wages throughout the multiple hospitals in the region. HealthSouth Rehabilitation - Both Treasure Coast (Vero Beach) and ...
  2. Cape Fear Valley Medical Center New Grad program

    Lots of floors let you just apply for RN positions. If you want to start working right away, just apply for floor positions directly that don't say "must have 1 year experience." Applying directly avoids the contract that comes with the residency as ...
  3. NY Med - a great reminder about social media and nursing

    After seeing the picture she posted, I have to ask, did she post it immediately after he was taken out of the room? I could see how the hospital would be upset at the fact that the "man" might have had family that didn't know at that time, etc. How...
  4. NY Med - a great reminder about social media and nursing

    Look at it this way - would YOU want someone taking pictures of you to post on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook, if you were in that situation? That's how I judge any "questionable" post. I know I wouldn't want pictures taken of me in my most vulner...
  5. Case Study #2

    I'm just going to put this out there - did anyone ask this lady if she has any history of trigeminal nerve pain or migraines on that side? The intensity of a flare up of EITHER of those can cause similar symptoms; personal experience.
  6. Caring for Obese Patients

    JasBSN - I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU! I finally had to tell one of my doctors the same thing. Once I said it, our relationship totally changed for the better. The PA still blamed everything on "well if you'd just lose some weight" but the MD finally ...
  7. Does your hospital require color coded scrubs?

    I can wear Cherokee tops, but the bottoms are all cut wrong for me. We are mandated to wear certain colors too, but we can wear any scrub company we want. Bummer you don't have a choice of companies.
  8. Does your hospital require color coded scrubs?

    I agree. Most of the patients have no idea what the different colors mean. As a new grad, I found it most beneficial in learning staff roles without having to ask them. I, however, did appreciate the colors during a rapid response. The four peopl...
  9. Nurse changing vent mode

    Does an RT come to see this person at home? If you can, you should document each time you fixed it back to the original order and notify the RT each time it's wrong.
  10. Overworked and Underpaid

    That's just scary! At least he went back with you...though I'm wondering if anyone realized he was "missing'?
  11. Overworked and Underpaid

    Just had this happen to me. Admission one hour and 10 minutes before shift ended - means my admission. Was there an hour and half afterwards!
  12. Sub-Acute Skilled Nursing Facility

    The last place I worked was an SNF and a Sub Acute Rehab in one building. One section was Sub Acute Rehab, the rest of the place was SNF. Sub Acute Rehab had three nurses usually - 2 LPNs that each had 20 patients each that they were responsible fo...
