  1. Whats your biggest pet peeve working in the ED?

    CP2013 replied to Whts_Ur_Emergency?'s topic in Emergency

    Hahahahahahaha. Listen, no one is making fun of actual epilepsy. What we are venting about are things that are actually fake. For instance during my psych rotation, there was a patient who had...

  2. Need help writing narratives!

    CP2013 replied to meluvsquki's topic in First Year After Licensure

    There are 7 different ways as you have seen and a million more. I was always told to be as thorough and yet succinct as possible because when called to court, that note is my only saving grace (should...

  3. Ineligible for rehire

    CP2013 replied to 053108's topic in Nursing Career

    How does a former employee find out if they are I eligible for rehire? My friend thinks this may be why he can't get a job but has no

    CP2013 replied to sweetstrwbrry1's topic in Florida Nursing

    I applied to UCF undergrad BSN, and Seminole concurrent. Got accepted to both and chose the one better suited to me. My friend applied to Valencia concurrent and UCF accelerated (2nd degree) and he...

  5. Dumb Question

    CP2013 replied to porkey2's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think they mean, if you have a question, ASK IT. Don't hesitate or hold back out of fear that you are supposed to understand everything right out of the gate. If you are on orientation and your...

  8. florida hospital or orlando health for new grad pay

    CP2013 replied to nats2012's topic in Florida Nursing

    Both. They start the same. After your certification courses during residency they will pay $2/hr more I think. Something like that for BSN. But remember, they are really only hiring BSN. Also,...

    CP2013 replied to nats2012's topic in Florida Nursing

    $21.50 starting pay, unsure about differentials Ratio is around 1:4 or 1:5 depending on which Florida Hospital and which unit. Some are as low as 1:3, because there are no techs. But the nurses are...

  10. florida hospital or orlando health for new grad pay

    CP2013 replied to nats2012's topic in Florida Nursing

  11. When to submit letters of reference?

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

    Probably a dumb question, but what is resume paper? I've been printing on regular ole 8.5"x11" paper and serving them up in manilla folders. I guess I know the error in my ways now! Do you just use...

    CP2013 replied to antrara's topic in Nursing Career

    CP2013 replied to rachel3332's topic in Florida Nursing

  16. New Grad Quitting After Less Than a Year (advice!)

    CP2013 replied to IcySageNurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Exactly! I would even give it 30-60 days where you stay behind to ensure that things have settled and seem stable. Would hate to hear OP back on here because both he and wife are unemployed! Best of...

  18. New Grad Quitting After Less Than a Year (advice!)

    CP2013 replied to IcySageNurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think the suggestion was not loyalty to the employer, but to get that 1 yr. experience under your belt. When moving, new grad markets can be tough in other parts of the country. You may have too...

  21. What to wear?

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

  24. Pediatric examination standards I don't understand

    CP2013 replied to Shuck's topic in Pediatric

    My dad has gone into physical exams with me when my mother was unable to. I never had a problem with it because I was in a gown and knew my parent (regardless of gender) was present to ensure I was...

  25. How flexible is a nurse's/RN work schedule?

    CP2013 replied to thecareerchanger's topic in Nursing Career

    Oh. Also, school nursing. If you can suck it up for a few years and get pediatric experience one way or another...perhaps school nursing would be best. You would have the holidays off as well and be...
