    preciouspkgs replied to Upgrading_Status's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yes. At the hospital I last worked labor and delivery at it was not uncommon to have 4 to 5 patients in labor at one time; with multiple being on pit and maybe 1 on mag. Staffing is horrendous here....

    preciouspkgs replied to Upgrading_Status's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't have anything to add on the insulin drips, but I want to know where you all work that laboring patients are 1:1 for any reason; we routinely have 4 to 5 of our own patients on L&D's down...

  10. New Grad RN can't find a job

    preciouspkgs replied to morganv's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Unless your ADN or BSN program is specifically written with the Board of Ed here in Florida to include an LPN "out", you are no longer allowed to sit for the LPN exam. It hasn't been an option for...

  11. New Grad RN can't find a job

    preciouspkgs replied to morganv's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    OMG NO. I wouldn't recommend CFVH to anyone. I lived there, worked there as a CNA and it is a horrific place to work. Had lots of friends who were RN's and wouldn't do it again. Unless you want to...
