  1. Interview with Principal

    FloridaBeagle replied to BRIANNA1103's topic in School

    Congrats!

  2. Interview with Principal

    FloridaBeagle replied to BRIANNA1103's topic in School

    Does anyone have any articles about these issues or advice? I've got the emergency medical stuff down, the general medical stuff like diabetes/tube feeds/seizures/nebs down from working in hospitals,...

  3. Vacation?

    FloridaBeagle replied to Nurse131382's topic in General Nursing

    I think we work at the same hospital. We have nurses that plan vacations months in advance, only to find their time isn't approved (because they only approve time 4-8 weeks in advance.) My hospital...

  4. School Nurse Salary?

    FloridaBeagle replied to kegreat's topic in School

    Just saw an ad for a school RN in Flagler, FL. $12 an hour. Unbelievable. Flagler County - School

  5. Does the travel aspect of nursing make up for the jobs cons?

    FloridaBeagle replied to TimTamJimJam's topic in Travel

    I looked into that. All they want is ex-ER and ex-ICU nurses. It's so frustrating because it's as if us acute care nurses have never encountered an emergency. *eyeroll* Such a

  6. Anyone heard about opportunities through hirenurses.com in Ireland?

    FloridaBeagle replied to other2502's topic in Nursing Career

    I've visited Ireland and been to all the major cities. I never felt unsafe. I worked with an Irish nurse in Florida, and she said they specialize even more than we do - in school they have to pick...

  7. Tailoring resume for school nursing

    FloridaBeagle posted a topic in School

    Hi everyone, I've posted a few times about wanting to become a school nurse. I'm currently in acute care, and have applied to 2 school RN jobs in NY with no call-back. I'm revamping my resume to try...

    FloridaBeagle replied to FloridaBeagle's topic in School

    Oh boy. Now you've got me thinking Texas. I've never made 54K in my

  9. Tailoring resume for school nursing

    FloridaBeagle replied to FloridaBeagle's topic in School

    Well, I'm not making anywhere near 80K, so making a switch to school RN probably won't be very painful for

  10. Tailoring resume for school nursing

    FloridaBeagle replied to FloridaBeagle's topic in School

    If I had a dollar for every diabetic patient I've treated since day 1, I could have gone to Europe for vacation this year instead of Florida. Thanks for the tips everyone. I'll keep you updated. (and...

  11. Tailoring resume for school nursing

    FloridaBeagle replied to FloridaBeagle's topic in School

    I've got to think about that. In acute care I'm not doing anything along those lines. One of the jobs wanted 3 years of experience, so you're right, no surprise there that I didn't get a call back....

  12. Anyone heard about opportunities through hirenurses.com in Ireland?

    FloridaBeagle replied to other2502's topic in Nursing Career

    Let us know if you hear anything back or try this opportunity. I would kill to spend a year or two in Europe, any country in

  13. Leaving at 6 months in?

    FloridaBeagle replied to slippersocks's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I left my first RN job 7 months in, and instantly earned myself a $10 an hour raise, plus a better quality of life (I left the pitiful south for a northern state). You need to do what's best for you....

  14. Tailoring resume for school nursing

    FloridaBeagle replied to FloridaBeagle's topic in School

    I wish I could sub, but I work too much at my current gig (8 hour workday, can't get 12 hour shift to free up my time). I work in a unit that takes adults and teens. No ed/EMT. 90 clinical hours of...

  15. lasix not given..

    FloridaBeagle replied to acts456's topic in Patient Medications

    I see you haven't answered the other poster's clinical questions about the patient and dismiss their current evidence-based knowledge. I wish you patient lots of luck.

  16. SO hows the job market these days?

    FloridaBeagle replied to debi49's topic in General Nursing

    It's hard to say. 2 or 3 years ago Mayo was overstaffed. This year they've hired more nurses than ever, and it's still not enough! Too bad you won't be graduated in time, because you could have my...

  17. Anywhere in NY pay school nurses well?

    FloridaBeagle posted a topic in School

    Hi all, I'm hoping to get into school nursing within the next two years, and in scrolling through indeed and other job boards it looks like school nurses are paid horribly in NY. Not badly, but...

  18. Anywhere in NY pay school nurses well?

    FloridaBeagle replied to FloridaBeagle's topic in School

    Thanks for all the insights everyone. I guess I'm passing on my home state of NY and will be applying in NJ for the upcoming school year. I'm looking at NJ certifications now (Rutgers, TCONJ, etc)....

  19. New Grad Nurse Residency Salaries

    FloridaBeagle replied to tinatheRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Move to Minnesota, where a new grad can start at $31 with a good cost of living. It's where I ended up to get some experience under my belt. I wouldn't accept the peanuts most places want to pay new...

  20. Bedside Reporting

    FloridaBeagle replied to Bluebell.'s topic in Medical-Surgical

    Must be nice. We only have 1 tech for 15-18 rooms. S/he can't get everyone to the bathroom before report, so the patient asks during report and it means I get to stay

  21. Bedside Reporting

    FloridaBeagle replied to Bluebell.'s topic in Medical-Surgical

    I hate bedside report mostly because the patients think it's a fabulous time to ask to be ambulated to the toilet or to ask 50 questions or to tell their life story to the new nurse. This means we can...

  22. Anywhere in NY pay school nurses well?

    FloridaBeagle replied to FloridaBeagle's topic in School

    Very interesting. Thanks for the

  23. Anywhere in NY pay school nurses well?

    FloridaBeagle replied to FloridaBeagle's topic in School

    I have, but NY state is so big and I'm hoping to find a spot in the state that pays decently so I can focus my efforts. That's why I love allnurses. I wouldn't have known about NJ paying decently...

  24. Anywhere in NY pay school nurses well?

    FloridaBeagle replied to FloridaBeagle's topic in School

    Agreed, and job posting that misrepresent what they want. I applied for a school nurse job at a Manhattan boarding school last summer, but in the interview I realized what they really wanted was a...

  25. Anywhere in NY pay school nurses well?

    FloridaBeagle replied to FloridaBeagle's topic in School

    I'm confused. DOH nurses work in the schools? I wish I could move to Cali or Texas, but I'm currently living away from NY and have to get back home. It's where my family is, and I'm one of those NY...
