    Broward College nursing program Fall 2023

    ButterflyRN90 replied to Chatejanuary25's topic in School, College Programs

    I went to Central because I was in the LPN to RN transition program at the time. My husband went to South but North was always considered the easiest. Yes, we also took those two together Pharm and...

    Broward College nursing program Fall 2023

    ButterflyRN90 replied to Chatejanuary25's topic in School, College Programs

    During my time we had professors give tests that were irrelevant to what we were taught. I fight so hard during one of my exams, I woke up early in the morning, drove there with 15 of my classmates...

    Broward College nursing program Fall 2023

    ButterflyRN90 replied to Chatejanuary25's topic in School, College Programs

    I've been. 2015. Brutal. Lots of test banks being sold, previous professors were sketchy, the stress was unlike any I ever experienced. I lost weight. I cried. I had to retrack. I would never do it...

    ButterflyRN90 replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I work a covid exclusive unit. I get $27 base pay with night/ weekend differentials. I'm immunocompromised. Not. Worth. It. I'm jumping into travel nursing because honestly, if I HAVE to care for...

    I'm going to make this as clear as possible . I work nights at a hospital on a tele floor. I'm currently on orientation and am towards the end of it. So, one night I had a pt who was in ARF, dialysis,...

    Mandatory Hurricane Evacuation - Can I be Forced to Work?

    ButterflyRN90 replied to Lorie Brown RN, MN, JD's topic in Nursing Career

    Evacuate where?? We don't get orders to evacuate. The Keys did, but evacuation had risks. A lot of these women are HIGH RISK. Finding a high risk OB on short notice AND in an area you evacuated to is...

    Mandatory Hurricane Evacuation - Can I be Forced to Work?

    Um no. OP specifically states if she's required to work at a hospital that was ordered to be evacuated by the Governor yet the hospital has chosen to stay

    ButterflyRN90 replied to KB4848's topic in General Nursing

    Be VERY CAREFUL about that move. I had the SAME issue. I was on Tele and the hours were killer with my classes. I only function well on night shifts so day shift I spent my time nauseated with...

    Nursing vs nurse Residency Program

    ButterflyRN90 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Not sure where to put this but I would like some feedback on the differences. The description on my job site doesn't really explain it and I'm very interested in applying for this. Anyone who's been...

    Mandatory Hurricane Evacuation - Can I be Forced to Work?

    ButterflyRN90 replied to Lorie Brown RN, MN, JD's topic in Nursing Career

    It's a catch 22. I live in FL which is hurricane central and during Irma (I still hadn't begun working at my hospital) my husband mentioned a coworker evacuated with his family and didn't show up...

    I'm freaking out about getting a failing grade! Need advice

    ButterflyRN90 replied to DH1234's topic in General Students

    We had a saying in nursing school: "C is for "continue". The reason we said that was because nursing school is difficult! Those who had straight As in HS were freaking out when they got Cs. It truly...

    New grad need help

    ButterflyRN90 replied to cberry1's topic in Medical-Surgical

    When suggesting nights it's not really easier. I love nights but we have fewer nurses, less resources, the NM is not there, and you become "friends" with Rapid response. Nights is a different beast....

    ButterflyRN90 replied to KB4848's topic in General Nursing

    Actually scheduled classes during work week is normal for me. I had to take an 8-5p class then go to work 6:30a-8pm to then practice and study and go back to class 8-5p to then repeat the cycle. The...

    I get free parking in the garage and the garage is across the main entrance INSIDE the hospital campus. They even built a new employee garage just for us because we used to have to take the

    Your post did not make sense. I dealt with the heavy responsibility of what happened for weeks. Is that not enough? I took everyone's feedback and it's still not enough? I fought for my job AFTER the...

    Very concerned

    ButterflyRN90 replied to ButterflyRN90's topic in General Nursing

    Highly doubt that. They investigated and it wasn't the Levemir decision. It was the lack of teaching and a large amount of verbal abuse that made me afraid to speak up. Everyone flipped their story...

    No offense, but I wasn't really asking for advice on what to write. I already have appointed people assisting me in this. The moment you mentioned that horrid person, Charles Cullen I stopped reading....

    True, but my hospital acted like new nurses are the only ones and should be reprimanded harshly. I read of a nurse who killed a pt for giving 10x the dose of digoxin and her punishment was transfer to...
