  1. Why don't you just read the chart?

    For the same reason that an ED RN will document "Awake, alert and oriented x 3" when the patient can barely tell you their own name. Or document that skin is intact when they know they haven't looked...

  4. Baptist Versant Program 2014

    My friend got a job at Florida Hospital in Orlando a few months after graduating from our BSN Program. She got in at the ICU but there is a 2-3 yr contract she has to finish out there. Yes I'm in the...
  5. I remember doing a rotation in the Pedi ER during nursing school, and we were treating a frequent flyer. She was a teenage girl with cancer receiving chemo, and my preceptor told me that although she...
  6. Congrats but I agree... never do that again. I just had a drug screen this week and the nurse told me that they can test you at any time!! At my facility if you so much as cut your finger they'll send...
  7. I just don't understand

    I am a new grad as well, and have been looking for a job in South FL since last July when I passed NCLEX!! I have my BSN AND a Bachelors in Health Science and it still took me a ridiculous amount of...
  8. Relocating to South Florida from NYC

    I have spoken to several associate degree nurses who have gone waaaaay longer than 6 months. As for myself, I went almost 10. And I think I'm pretty well educated with two bachelors degrees (health...
  9. Relocating to South Florida from NYC

    I'm not telling you NOT to move to South Fl... I'm just telling you to do your research and not be disillusioned so there aren't any big shocks when you get here. Visiting a place and living there are...
  10. Roaches ON the patient

    Advocate for the patient.... Who obviously can't do it for themself!!! Those conditions sound abhorrent and you don't want that on your conscience.... Wondering if there was more you should've done....
  11. Baptist Versant Program 2014

    Ok I sent you a private message. I hope I can help you
  12. Fall in the ED!

    I start a new grad residency in March and honestly my biggest fear is that I make a mistake or someone gets hurt. I'm sure everyone goes through these feelings but it's so
  13. Fall in the ED!

    The thing is idk what I would've done in those situations. I mean the ED is obviously not 1-1 so you have other patients to care for. Maybe you should've gotten a tech to assist them in the bathroom?...
  14. Pre-Nurse interested in MSN

    I know that my instructors in nursing school discouraged going straight into an NP program without experience as a bedside nurse. Bedside nursing teaches you a lot. My instructors told me that they...
  15. Fall in the ED!

    Wow that's extremely unfortunate. I'm a new grad and I haven't started working yet so I probably can't provide too much advice. I guess all you can do is tell your side of the story, be truthful and...
  16. Best nursing associations to belong to?

    Awesome question I'm curious to know as well.
  17. Becoming an Old New Grad in Jan 2015!

    I mean at a recent interview I met a girl who had graduated in Dec 2012 and hadn't been able to find a job yet.... So even if you do stay there's no guarantee of finding a job regardless. It's hard...
  18. Awkward and Shy Student Nurse

    Nursing school is a very stressful time, I think it tends to exacerbate any underlying problems you may have going on. I don't say it as a bad thing, however I knew of a girl who actually had a...
  19. Relocating to South Florida from NYC

    You're talking only about apartment prices.... I'm talking cost of living in general. And if you wanna live Downtown or in Brickell I assure you rent can reach and even exceed those prices as well....
  20. Relocating to South Florida from NYC

    Also, the cost of living in South Florida is not all that low. The public transportation system here is nowhere near as good as NY and most likely you will need a car, depending on where you go to...

    Ya I saw and replied..... Thanks ? but I tried to send something else after and it said your message box was full
  22. Baptist Versant Program 2014

  25. Relocating to South Florida from NYC

    Well Baptist is like a fortress to get into with no experience. They recently hired for a new grad residency but it was only open to BSNs. That's actually where I just got hired. Good luck with the...
