  1. RN IN JAX JOBS

    KateRN1 replied to MSNorBUST's topic in Florida Nursing

    Consider also that the cost of living is much higher here than OK (we moved from MO). Rent, utilities, food--all are more expensive than the midwest. We were doing quite well in MO, but are now...

  2. How Hard Is It To Get In TO Hospice Nursing?

    KateRN1 replied to bonnie west's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    ITA that no nurse is an island, but in any kind of home health position, you are out there mostly alone. You will always have your coworkers to discuss situations with during case conference and your...

  3. How do you apply for a Florida nursing license?

    KateRN1 replied to HISpeach's topic in Florida Nursing

    I'm also in the queue for a FL license. Filled out onlie app, paid fee. Got a letter two weeks later that I needed CEUs and fingerprint cards, which I already knew, but no way to include those...

  4. RN IN JAX JOBS

    KateRN1 replied to MSNorBUST's topic in Florida Nursing

    I interviewed for a per diem position that I ultimately decided not to accept. The pay was to be per visit, $90 for admit, $50 for hi tech, $40 for low tech. No mileage reimbursement. No idea about...

  5. New Grad going into Hospice

    KateRN1 replied to NurseMarla's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I can really only answer the question about ACLS--I can't for the life of me see any reason why a hospice nurse would need Advanced Cardiac Life Support. Basic CPR sure, but you generally don't have...

  6. New Grad Moving to Florida

    KateRN1 replied to rwright15's topic in Florida Nursing

    I'm not sure about the rest of the state, but the situation is not much better in Jacksonville. Seasoned nurses are having a hard time finding a job, let alone new grads. They pay isn't any better,...

  7. Nursing Dilemma

    KateRN1 replied to Sash123's topic in General Nursing

    Have you considered home health care? Lots of one-on-one time with patients, lots of time for patient and family ed, decent hours, decent

  8. Jacksonville RN opportunities

    KateRN1 replied to RN2binjax's topic in Florida Nursing

    Thanks for the info. I'm in Mandarin and wanting to stay a bit closer to home. With 20 HHC companies in the area, all of them advertising open positions, you wouldn't think it would be so hard. I'm...

  9. Jacksonville RN opportunities

    KateRN1 replied to RN2binjax's topic in Florida Nursing

    Where are all these home health positions? I'm beating down their doors, with over ten years of experience, and can't get a foot

  10. Re: Florida's 1st prize in the "Salary Hall of Shame"

    KateRN1 replied to CLLRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hi, Dee: I moved from MO (with three years in Istanbul, Turkiye in between) and the pay here for BSN RNs is *less* than what it was when I left MO 4 years ago. It's ridiculous. I've seriously...

  11. Prayer @ staff meeting

    KateRN1 replied to HIPPIECHIKRN's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I would be totally stoked, but I'm a Muslim. As regards the original situation, if the ADON leading the meeting didn't understand that prayer was inappropriate at that time and place,...

  12. Jacksonville RN opportunities

    KateRN1 replied to RN2binjax's topic in Florida Nursing

    Jacksonville = murder capital of Florida. Cost of living is high, although not as high as Boston, I think. Jobs are scarce for nurses with experience and I've seen nurses that graduated *last*...

  14. Best/ Worst Places to Work Near Punta Gorda.

    KateRN1 replied to nurseaboveboard's topic in Florida Nursing

    I'm in the process of endorsing my license from another state now. It was $200+ for the application fee, $4 for the fingerprint cards, another $10 to pay police station to print me, $60 to nursys to...

  15. FL CEU providers

    KateRN1 replied to KateRN1's topic in Florida Nursing

    I never did get any info from Med-CEU, so I've given up on them. I went with Allison's suggestion of RN.com and have found the CEU courses to be more interactive and engaging than what I was used to...

  16. Anyone Done a Nursing Cultural Exchange?

    KateRN1 replied to NursingAgainstdaOdds's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, sorry for the lateness of this response, but I just found your post doing a keyword search on Istanbul. (I'm homesick, what can I say?) I think one major hurdle, maybe you've considered, is the...

  17. Blessing in disguise? Cold feet?

    KateRN1 replied to sunshine365's topic in General Nursing

    I like to tell people that I started out in Med School but decided I wanted a *real* challenge and went into nursing instead. I would suggest that you really consider what it is you enjoy about...

    KateRN1 replied to kiya05tall's topic in Florida Nursing

    FYI: CAP is a standardized exam that gives a numeric score, ranks you in comparison with your classmates, and ranks you again compared to other students in the country who also sat the exam. It's...

  19. FL CEU providers

    KateRN1 replied to KateRN1's topic in Florida Nursing

    Thanks, I may end up using that one if I can't get any info on MedCEU (they have more course offerings). And for the life of me, I can't figure out when licenses are renewed here. It says...

  22. Turkey

    KateRN1 replied to KateRN1's topic in International Nursing

    Hi, sounds like you've been here just a bit longer than me. So far, I've not been looking for a job in healthcare, although that may change someday. Will keep up my license, in any case. I would...
