  1. An Occurrence For A Reason. Is It Worth It?

    SexyFloridaGirl posted a topic in General Nursing

    Okay - I am not one to call in to work, especially in a new job, but I started my orientation at this hospital in late May (28th) and am finally getting my first productive schedule for the pay...

  2. need words of wisdom..new job!

    SexyFloridaGirl replied to sassyann8585's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Just from my personal experience, hospitals and clinics are completely different in how they handle patient care. Usually it is tailored to that specific clinic and like any new job, there will always...

  3. Not an RN but could use some advice..

    SexyFloridaGirl replied to Fanie_Mae's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I would say to wait for the position that you really want to interview for. No place wants to be told as soon as they offer to orient, train, and hire you that you found a better job somewhere else....

  4. Too close to the situation for comfort?

    SexyFloridaGirl replied to JTinKY's topic in Oncology

    Every nurse you will ever work with will tell you this: Don't settle and work where you love. So many nurses get into fields that they have either no relation to, or if they do, don't care for that...

  5. Lifting Equiptment? Dos/Donts and Patient Safety

    SexyFloridaGirl replied to SexyFloridaGirl's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I have seen this done as described, with one person guiding the patient in the lift to adjust their head or neck if needed. Also for a patient who had confusion due to medications she needed her...

  6. Is 8 hours of sleep unrealistic?

    SexyFloridaGirl replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    Honestly, you sleep when you can, whether it is in the morning, noon, or 8:30 at night. It's better than dozing in your car on the middle of driving down a freeway at 80mph. Your brain needs to sleep...

  7. CNA'S the other half of care

    SexyFloridaGirl replied to Wheels28's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I LOVE these kinds of stories! Happy CNA week for all that we

  8. Lifting Equiptment? Dos/Donts and Patient Safety

    SexyFloridaGirl replied to SexyFloridaGirl's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I am competent in using the equipment, I just deal with many patients who have dementia on my floor who often are over 80 years old. Most of them blame us for "trying to kill them" on an hourly basis...

  9. No luck with RN job search!!!

    SexyFloridaGirl replied to mellyp's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Majority of MAJOR hospitals want people who have had direct patient care experience, otherwise you will be hired as a "new grad" RN which you will have to employ with them for a period of about 12...

  10. Techs on PACU???

    SexyFloridaGirl replied to SexyFloridaGirl's topic in PACU

    I just applied last night so I may/may not get a call to even interview. I know the learning curve is what most people talk about for preop/pacu but I am willing to learn if they want to give me an...

  11. Techs on PACU???

    SexyFloridaGirl replied to SexyFloridaGirl's topic in PACU

    Thanks so much for your input! This really made me feel a lot better about the possibility of exploring. In my hospital, we are allowed to do catheters, but I was looking to go outside to another...

  12. The Hardest Job You Will Ever Love! - Nursing

    SexyFloridaGirl replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    I agree, if it wasn't for thousands (and I really mean thousands) of interruptions from other patients and nurses all day it would be a completely easy job. It sucks when you have people who can't...

  13. Will being a CNA increase my chance?

    SexyFloridaGirl replied to 1Luv_xo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As a CNA I can tell you first hand that if you do not think that "CNA" care is "right for you" that you might be going into the wrong profession/career path. As a CNA and soon to be RN, I have learned...

  14. Accepted Into Nursing School, Want to get a CNA Certification While I wait?

    SexyFloridaGirl posted a topic in General Students

    I really would like a CNA certification for SOME kind of clinical experience other than lab work before I enter nursing school. I have done BLS/CPR but that is it. I really want clinical experience,...

  15. Accepted Into Nursing School, Want to get a CNA Certification While I wait?

    SexyFloridaGirl replied to SexyFloridaGirl's topic in General Students

    I actually did get a CNA exam prep course. I also was hired onto a hospital as a PCT so I am getting a TON of clinical training as well as sponged full of information, policies and procedures. I just...
