  3. Out of curiosity, how many male RNs are former military veterans?

    CCNP-FL replied to egypshun03's topic in Men in Nursing

    Of the 24, or so, medics that I work with in an ARNG Medical Company, many of them are also RNs, LPNs, or entering Medical School. The only difference between them and me is a bar on my chest instead...

  5. Reactions to being a NP

    CCNP-FL replied to orangepink's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    BRAVO! I am just about to start the NP Program at Nova Southeastern University (South Florida) and I picked it specifically because it is a non-profit university that also has respected osteopathic...

  6. Pharmacist-turned-RN?

    CCNP-FL replied to Lizbird5807's topic in Nursing Career

    Liz, I don't have to tell you how many times you have saved the MD/DOs butts and the RNs about the administer a medication. The nurse's gut feeling that something isn't quite right is either...

    CCNP-FL posted a topic in Florida Nursing

    Hello All: I was looking at the BON and couldn't specifically locate the regulation that would dictate whether a Registered Nurse could verbally transmit, over the telephone, an order that was...

  8. They call me the "spaz" on the floor. :/

    CCNP-FL posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hi fellow nurses: I'm writing today just off of the worst shift I've had in quite a while. The patient load was fine, I had seven lovely patients, but somehow I just messed everything up between 5a...

  9. Pt Load & New Grad Burnout

    CCNP-FL replied to naptimeRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The only floor that has a ratio like that at my facility is where they do team nursing and usually an LPN and RN care for ten patients simultaneously. I agree with all the above posters. Leave. I...

    CCNP-FL replied to CP2013's topic in Florida Nursing

    There is no such thing as a PHRN certification in FL from my knowledge. I don't directly do military nursing, but I am a Florida National Guard Soldier (but also a Civilian Nurse) and interact with...

  13. Would you leave a job you like for a better shift?

    CCNP-FL replied to obizyanka's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I voted before reading it completely, to me I would take the new position if I was in your shoes. I won't belabor the whole, "I think you should make a decision you will be happy with the most!",...

  14. How much experience before being charge nurse

    CCNP-FL replied to babysteps25's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Great point, I love crowd sourcing solutions. When this type of democratic, diplomatic decision making is utilized in non-emergency situations (like assignments, delegation, etc.) then the whole...

    Here's some more questions I would ask myself if I was in your shoes. Sorry to hear about your troubles, but I'm sure you're getting really incredible experience with such stress. If you're dealing...

    CCNP-FL replied to julz68's topic in First Year After Licensure

    BTW, NGTs aren't always easy and not everyone is a good candidate to try on. In my school, we did them on eachother -- We had good anatomy, prep, etc. Don't let a bad insertion upset you, they...

    Hey friend: As a night-nurse, let me just say sorry for your troubles getting report. A lot of things happen right at shift-change, as you can expect. Next time, try and see if the night-nurse is...

    CCNP-FL replied to yooper13's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This happens on my floor at about 0130-0230. That is when i start feeling the "nurse creep" syndrome. That is the specific time I usually drink one cup of coffee, eat a quick snack or a full lunch...

  20. Night shift

    CCNP-FL replied to yooper13's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Best advice I can give you is try to get all your 3-days (if you work twelve hour shifts) in a row so that you can be a nocturnal peep for 3/7 of the week and then reset if you wish. I try and work 4...
