Super_RN BSN, RN

Hi, It really wasn't a bad class. Definitely a lot less stats than I expected, which was a great surprise!

Hi everyone! I have applied to start in July as well! I'm excited to get started and get done i may be the odd ball since I don't live in Florida

Taking care of my husband at home after he had surgery, twice, (this was after we had been married awhile!!!)--I would NOT have been remotely attracted to his whiney self had I met him in a hospital, LOL!

Help, help, oh help! I am 23-years-old and my skin is worse now than it has ever been (couldn't be the stress from nursing, now could it!?!). I mean, it's not terrible where every square centimeter is covered, but I cannot think of the last time wh...

Oh my gosh! I wrote this almost 6 years ago! I have found something, Neutrogena Skin ID. It is a miracle worker!! I had used Proactive before, and while it helped, it didn't last for long. Unfortunately now I'm on fertility treatments and the meds...

GOOD LUCK!!!

Also just wanted to add that cost of living is cheap here--so making what I do is really good money!

1. What is your degree in? BSN 2. What state do you live in? Ohio 3. What is your job title? Float Nurse 4. How much do you make an hour? 7 1/2 years experience, $ 28.76/hr, $1.25 shift dif after 1500. Awesome benefits and PUBLIC retirement. For a...

Last year I actually lived right across the street from the hospital--I walked to work every day. When we had snow storms last year, I had no problem picking up when others couldn't get in. I'm thankful I wasn't all crappy about it then, because ka...

Not everyone has the means to stay in a hotel. And to answer your other question--we did not have anyone available. Were there school closings? That's a given. We do NOT know anyone to watch our daughter, she has never been to a babysitter except...

Yes, I knew it was coming. However, I wasn't able to go in earlier because I had no one to watch our daughter until my husband was home. At that point, it was so bad that we indeed slid off the road attempting to get to work, with our daughter in o...

You shouldn't have to pay for anything. To ease your mind though, mine always looked different the first day or so depending on who did them, and how deep they went. I bruised one time and that sucker hurt!

We can wear whatever we want, whew! OB and AC has to wear the light blue scrubs provided by the hospital, other than that, we're free to choose!

OP: We push our meds. Some nurses don't dilute it, I do. Burns less and it's easier to push more slowly if it's diluted. FWIW, I've only administered Morphine gtts (in reference to narcotic gtts), but that was on post-op surgeries who was intubate...

Congrats!! One thing I always do is a send a handwritten thank you card after the interview. Much more personal and eye catching than an email :) GOOD LUCK!

We're still under a Level 2. I would so much rather have snow than ice!

My husband attempted to take me to work last evening (I was scheduled for this morning), but we couldn't even get off our road. Let me rephrase that: We did get off our road, doing two 360's and ending up in a cornfield down a hill. We then had to...

Ii worked mostly days, 5 days per week. But I gave that up for 12 hour nights...3 days per week vs 5?! No brainer for this chicky!

I'm 28, have been a RN for 7 1/2 years. Currently I work as a float nurse in a hospital, 3 12's per week. I am probably not the best person to answer if I do anything outside of work, because my husband and I are homebodies. Our lives revolve arou...

I wear a concealer under my eyes, and on whatever surprises the Zit Fairy left me. Physician's Formula loose powder is about the only one that doesn't make my skin worse, a bit of eye shadow, and mascara. That's it. I'm pretty simple. My old stan...

I think we are really blessed at my facility. Our docs do the normal cookies/fruits/etc as well. One surgeon buys the entire nursing staff lunch from a nice restaurant for 2 days--so if you work one of those two days, it's nice. If you're off, sor...

I see...you definitely need a lawyer...a lot of lawyers will give you a free consultation before taking you on as a client, depending on what your lawsuit involves.

I'm wondering the same thing!

Here's a couple things I've always done. Yikes! It may sound horrible that I've been to so many interviews, but my husband was in the Army and we traveled a lot, hence several jobs. Anyhow, I digress. These are in no particular order : 1--SMILE! ...

I've really only had this happen once, when a nurse I worked with always cames in reeking of garlic. When I say always, I mean every single time he came to work, which was 5 nights/week. It was SO strong, there was no mistaking it. One night I coul...
