   Panhandler, You are telling it like it is! I like your style and wit. You are right on target as I read through your posts and others here. I have been out of circulation on this forum due to a family emergency that has just now settled down. Comi...

   LadyCharge replied to missrhonda's topic in Florida

   just go to an online real estate website and you will see what the costs of homes are. I can tell you they have doubled. Homes are not cheap and rentals are not cheap anymore. It all happened after Hurricane Ivan. I thought I was living in Calif...

   What are the terms for that bonus? How do they distribute the money to you? Is the going rate for a graduate RN $16 per/hr?

   This was a good post I enjoyed reading as well. Its interesting to see how many nurses are going through this or have been. And you are right on target when you say hospitals are an 'Industry' now. Indeed they are...capitalization is a good thing ...

   Panhandler....I like you! And you are so right, don't get emotional about this. Its about facts and getting desired outcomes...hopefully the right outcomes given this pathetic match between the strong arm health system vs the caring, ethical, highl...

   Kim, I'm so sorry for everything the U.S. Healthcare System has done to you. Sadly, evil is alive and well in the hearts of self-seeking men and women and free enterprise has been corrupted in using our poor, elderly, and terminally ill and it matte...

   I have a good friend whose a pastor that lives in Oakland and told me this the night before last. Since I live in Florida I do not keep up with all the news there. However, I did hear Swartzeneggar speaking on our news channel recently, appealing ...

   Indeed....Panhandler, I love your posts! I have sadly and reluctantly these past few months been in transition of changing careers because I cannot work under the authority of unethical, vindictive, and selfish adminstration in this kind of "Busines...

10. Pensacola pay rates

    LadyCharge replied to missrhonda's topic in Florida

    The pay here sucks. Cost of living has doubled for owning a home and even doubled for rent. My rent for a 3 BR townhouse was $1250!!! With a pay rate of a puny and pathetic 19.47 per/hr I cant do this! Hurricane Katrina caused the housing to sky ...

    LadyCharge replied to EarlD's topic in Florida

    I worked at Baptist and Sacred. Neither are good places to work. However, I hear Baptist has improved, but the main hospital is not in a very nice place of town. However, I have heard nothing but raves about the Baptist Hospital in Gulf Breeze onl...

12. Pensacola Area

    LadyCharge replied to nursemary9's topic in Florida

    I would really do my homework before moving here. Call the home health agencies and hospice here and get a telephone interview. Housing has almost doubled here since Hurricane Ivan. Things have settled down quite a bit, but this city is a far cry ...

13. Pensacola nursing schools good?

    LadyCharge replied to l2ebeccaLynn's topic in Florida

    I dont know about UWF, but avoid PJC at ALL COSTS!!!! Unless you want to teach yourself. At one time they were a good nursing school, but trust me they aint been so in years now. Also, I wouldnt work in any of these hospitals. They are low pay, a...

    I just read through this entire thread and first of all I want to tell you how greivous this is to me because I have experienced the same thing, and I too, felt "sad in my heart" as you described in an earlier post...so NO you are NOT corny one iota ...
