This summer I am hoping to relocate to Florida. While on the Florida board of nursing site I noticed that a statement was issued about a nursing shortage in Florida. And they were Asking for donations. Does anyone know anything about a nursing shorta...

I was just reading an article the other day on the CNN app, stating that the nursing market has been flooded and due to the economy that older nurses are not retiring so new grads have no where to go. You would think that all of these pop up college ...

I agree with you but by time you finished explaining that to her you could have had her earrings back in.

Nurseamanda I will def. check out the places that you mentioned. I did stop in several small towns that I liked in between tampa and Kissimmee. Still close enough to the ocean but far enough from the city.

I fig it deoended on what part of Florida that you moved to whether or not jobs are available. I own here in ohio with 4 acres of land. Yeah homes are cheaper in Florida than ohio. I am thinking if renting my house for a year and just buying a modula...

I don't know how many nurses say this out loud but, god bless the aids. If it were not for the aids then us nurses would be hard pressed to get our jobs done in an Expedient manner. I try to advise all nurses to be good to their aids, they can make o...

Wow, LTC. I remember those days. Taking care of up to 40 people on a hall all alone with one aid, working 90 hrs a week because nurses quitting or getting fired constantly, pain pill seekers, and just general running around like a chicken which it's ...

Ruas61 I love the pic. Fav. Character from twd. Funny I went to school to become a hospice nurse. Besides behing one of the most humbling experiences in the world, I don't believe that anyone should die alone. I just happened into pediatrics by accid...

The message was on the application by endorsement site. Before the application scrolled up, the message came up. Looking for volunteer workers and money to help with the shortage.

Omg, I have done all everything that has been posted lol lol. Checking the mail at 5p in pajamas. The Walmart people know be by name now. Staggering in at 7a and telling everyone good night when I leave. All of it

This news is somewhat disheartening. I am an LPN with 6 yrs experience in pediatric critical care. I live in ohio and work independently making about $70,000 a year. I knew I would have to take a pay cut but $12.50 an hour. I can't live on that. I am...

One of the many reasons that I became a nurse is that I thought that if someone takes the time to go to school for a degree, that they must me intelligent, well spoken, responsible individuals. Well honey child let me tell you, I was sorely mistaken....

I think that "hate" is such a powerful word. It takes energy to hate something, meaning that what ever is expending energy from you is gaining energy from you also. I really did not care for nursing school. The instructors verbatim from the books, a...

It depends on the severity of your employers complaint and how much they push it. The board will most likely contact you and ask if this firing was justified and your side of the story. They may just give you a warning or actually have you come in fr...

If you wake up late for work and just throw scrubs on and run out the door. You forget about doing your hair and makeup. No one important will see you anyways, ans sleep is more important than looking good.

I do private duty nursing and my liens is 3. So my night starts by setting up his feed and meds. Then we play, then my only responsibility besides him is staying awake at night. Which usually consists of iPad for games and Netflix, watching tv or a ...

As a new grad I was told that I would get 10 days training. On the 4th day a nurse called off and I was thrown to the wolves. And yeah, I mean thrown to the wolves. No med count, no report, or orientation to the psyche unit. I just got keys tossed to...

I know it's hard, but def. try not to be discourage. This advice may come as being a bit unorthodoxed but when I first graduated nursing school I went into the heart of my city and found a job easily at one of the inner city nursing homes. One of tho...

I am interested in taking Spanish classes. Can anyone tell me if they have taken Spanish classes and were able to use it in their medical field to make more money?

Thanks everyone for the insightful words. Do you think that using Rosetta Stone as a method of learning Spanish will look as good on my résumé compared to taking a course at my local college?
