  1. Stuck between a rock and a hard place

    CP2013 replied to csoultz's topic in Nursing Career

    Try applying and networking. See what's out there. Maybe pick up a prn job to supplement your hours at the place you love for the coworkers. So you can utilize skills and stay on board with a job you...

  2. I have an interview in a level 1 trauma center, need advice!

    CP2013 replied to k-flo's topic in Emergency

    Ummm. I'll take the night shift if you won't! I would love nights in a Level 1 trauma center. Working ED/TICU/Burns ICU/SICU, that would be amazing to me. I have been dreaming about the job you are...

  3. What's the job market like in Florida right now? New grad.

    CP2013 replied to bluebeetle7's topic in Florida Nursing

    Also consider if you have an ADN or BSN. Many new grads in Florida have their BSN and often have experience working locally. Just remember how competitive the areas can get. Good luck!

  4. How often does Florida Hospital do their graduate nurse program?

    CP2013 replied to HerzingGrad's topic in Florida Nursing

    Just keep checking back. They typically do February/July/October programs. But I believe they are adjusting some things this year with their new women's health unit being built at South

  5. Wearing scrubs at the gym??

    CP2013 replied to phieud's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Hair stylist, medical assistants, dental hygienists, veterinary techs, doctors, nurses, residents, ophthalmic aides, people working out in the gym, grocery shopping. Pretty much anyone who has walked...

  6. Wearing scrubs at the gym??

    CP2013 replied to phieud's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Sweats don't breathe as well. I live in Florida and we only have hot, hotter and summer. (Save for the few "cold" fronts here and there) I don't want to show off I'm a nurse. There are plenty of...

  7. ACLS on resume before class or only after?

    CP2013 replied to CP2013's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thanks. I went ahead and printed it without the ACLS on the advice of a few other friends. I am interviewing for a tech position, and not an RN one, since I won't graduate for a few more months. (The...

  8. ACLS on resume before class or only after?

    CP2013 posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I am taking ACLS in 2 weeks. I have an interview tomorrow. Can I put this on my resume? Should it go on my cover letter? Or should I just mention it in the interview??? I have other certifications...

  9. Have you traveled to Florida?

    CP2013 replied to yukka99's topic in Travel

    I never sacrifice the patients care, but when a traveler refuses to answer my questions regarding whether they would like me to document vitals and I/O and tells me that they don't "trust" me to do...

  10. Wearing scrubs at the gym??

    CP2013 replied to phieud's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I wear my scrubs because they are cheap, often stain resistant and easy to move in. Great for a grocery store run or going to the dog park. Gym clothes? Tight spandex is just not my idea of a fun...

  11. Have you traveled to Florida?

    CP2013 replied to yukka99's topic in Travel

    Also staff pay is usually mid to low 20's so I don't know how that translates to travelers. The beaches are great and the sunshine is plentiful. Staff nurses seem to get paid in sunshine! Too bad that...

  12. Have you traveled to Florida?

    CP2013 replied to yukka99's topic in Travel

    Working as a tech in Florida, I saw travelers comedy and out. We had a few Floridians who traveled a few hundred miles to the job. The locals, we accepted. And if they were young. I noticed the...

    CP2013 replied to texasmum's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  14. Personal malpractice insurance?

  15. Personal malpractice insurance?

    CP2013 posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I am a last semester student and am just lining my ducks up in a row....I know the benefits of personal malpractice insurance (or at least I think I do, so feel free to provide insight as well)...but...

  17. It's Official!

    CP2013 replied to julz68's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I feel like making it thru nursing school is its own badge if courage. It takes a lot of determination and perseverance to finish it. Nursing school is full of years - happy and sad, roller coaster...

  18. Curious about other testing sites

    CP2013 replied to julz68's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Because they won't be a nervous wreck and might be able to focus?! Apparently distraction techniques are cheating techniques.

  19. Wearing scrubs at the gym??

    CP2013 replied to phieud's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Haha. I go grocery shopping, hang out at the mall (like its 1999), dog park...pretty much anywhere in my scrubs. They're comfortable. I just get used to them. They're always clean. Maybe this guy was...

    CP2013 replied to julz68's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Finally!!! I know that waiting those 48 hours was rough, but at least it was worth the wait. Congrats RN!!!

  22. Curious about other testing sites

    CP2013 replied to julz68's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I was told that some testing centers allow snacks in see through zip loc baggies (essentially to ensure you didn't write on the bag I guess? Bottled drinks can't have a label on it, etc. I asked all...

  23. Curious about other testing sites

    CP2013 replied to julz68's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Is it wrong to feel that NCLEX is like prison intake? (Or at least how I imagine prison intake cause I have never been) This is going to be fun.

  24. Curious about other testing sites

    CP2013 replied to julz68's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks for the link! I will read up on it so I can prepare myself for test day. (Just realized that its less than 6 months from now, YIKES!) I will use one piece of paper when I do my practice exams...
