  1. Nursing Salary Hall of Shame

    eagleriver posted a topic in General Nursing

    Lets look at this salary situation another way, by taking a poll of who is working for the least amount of money, or has been offered the least in recent history. For example, in January, 2003, as an...

    eagleriver replied to eagleriver's topic in General Nursing

    when i was a young 'un, i drove a school bus for a while. i was fascinated that the guys who hauled produce made 3x as much money as i did transporting "yuppy larvae." (terminology courtesy of dan...

  5. Nursing Salary Hall of Shame

    eagleriver replied to eagleriver's topic in General Nursing

    take another look at what you wrote here. i don't believe you really feel that way. i suspect that like the rest of us, you do your best for your patients, regardless of the crap you are putting...

  6. Nursing Salary Hall of Shame

    eagleriver replied to eagleriver's topic in General Nursing

    thanks for your perspective. i do admire those who come from other countries, learn our language, listen to our crap (or remove it), care for our bedridden and are usually pleasant about it. it's...

    The American Chambers of Commerce Researcher's Association has most of Florida in the 96-98% range of the national cost of living index. Tallahassee is .1% higher than the national average. Major...

  9. Nursing Salary Hall of Shame

    eagleriver replied to eagleriver's topic in General Nursing

    If you are the only one willing to require decent treatment from the doctors, you may not succeed in changing things. Also, to what extent will your supervisors support you? There is no status...

  11. Nursing Salary Hall of Shame

    eagleriver replied to eagleriver's topic in General Nursing

    I grew up in and around Detroit. Tell me something, if you become snowbound at your facility, or others can't come in to relieve you, do you get paid for as long as you're

  13. Consequences of Bad Choices

    eagleriver replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, we need to be careful, but not excessively fearful. With the millions of "case studies" that exist, a person could make up anything or report anything and have SEVERAL individuals whose...

  14. Tallahassee

    eagleriver replied to giftedRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    Well, you posted in November and it is now March, so you probably have seen me at the Nursing School once in a while. I'm the young looking guy with lots of grey hair. :chuckle If you have any...

  15. ANY Independent Home Health Providers?????

    eagleriver replied to nursebailey's topic in Florida Nursing

    I have never looked at the possibility of practicing home health nursing independently, but this state is steeped in bureaucratic red tape, so make sure you have all the bases covered before...

  16. Is the Eve Shift Gone in FL?

    eagleriver replied to sunhill's topic in Florida Nursing

    You must be like me, wanting to sleep late! However, I suspect that most home health agencies in your area would hire you and pay well for psych case

  17. maintaining FL RN license

    eagleriver replied to Henryk's topic in Florida Nursing

    I'm not familiar with that requisite, because I'm an in-state nurse, but I imagine it means you need to document 2 years of employment as a nurse. The nursing process is just a systematic approach to...

  19. Too young for Hospice?

    eagleriver replied to MelRN13's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Debo, that's really impressive that an agency nurse can work in hospice. I don't think it's possible in Florida, at least not in Tallahasee. I'll bet they checked up on you quite a bit before...

  20. New to all this

    eagleriver replied to anita4's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    by Sally Karioth PhD, RN I've learned that nursing is the hardest and easiest thing I've ever done. I've learned to take my job seriously but myself lightly. I've learned that everyday I've held a...

  21. New to all this

    eagleriver replied to anita4's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    It is hard to watch someone suffer, especially if there's nothing that can be done to make it better or to help the person understand and/or accept what is happening. I feel that it is an honor to...

  22. End-Stage O2 Research

    eagleriver replied to MarcusKspn's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    It's possible that additional oxygen can cause a patient to stop breathing. If the patient has used oxygen before, has emphysema or something else that has their blood gasses messed up, their system...

  23. Should I stay with Hospice?

    eagleriver replied to jmg6481's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I went right into a small memory care facility, where most nursing skills languish, but I was continuing on to get a master's degree, so I didn't worry about it. I don't understand why someone can't...

  24. exposure to hiv in the work place

    eagleriver replied to psychnurse01's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    You may end up having to press charges against the County Attorney for not doing his job! I suppose you could drag this kicking, screaming monster child to the Attorney's office and see what

  25. LPN VS BSN VS ADN?

    eagleriver replied to SUBQ's topic in General Nursing

    I have been a CNA and HHA for about nine years. I finally got into the BSN program at FSU. I can easily understand why some folks stop their education at the Associates level due to life...
