Depending on the policy of your employer overtime may be counted as time and a half for anything over 40hours/week. Hospitals and critical care pays the most. Each year a nurse has been working a pay increase of about one dollar per hour is standard. You may ask for a raise after six months of being on the job.
How much money does a registered nurse earn in Florida?
New York, California, and Florida are the highest in demand, varying from about $30-$50 per hour depending on if you are staff, charge, or management. Experience also matters quite a bit Also shift differentials. Ok, the above answer is not true. As an RN in Florida I can say that RN's starting salary is between $21-$24 per hour with an average of 1 dollar pay increases per hour per year, not to mention this is before taxes are taken out. RN's are in demand in Florida, but they are not as well compensated as is rumored. In California where the cost of living is very high as with New York, and the population density is also high pay scales between $25-$32 per hour are feasible. But, even in these higher paying cities the cost of living will drain your pocket book, so ask yourself twice if it is worth it. In Florida, however, though RN demand still is high, the pay scale for nurses has yet to be pushed up to the $30 per hour average standard. MSN's in Florida working in hospitals stand to make only about $34-$42 per hour for their extra 3 years post BSN training. Florida is ridiculous and new nurses need to boycott the state until the pay goes up. Florida is a cheapo state for RN's, so watch out. With overtime, I made $100,357 in 2007. Averaging around 48 hours per week. This is in South Carolina with no benefits.

It's what most doctors tend to do when they can't easily diagnose the problem with the patient. Most physicians want patients that have clear cut issues to they can be treated (and billed) quickly, then the physicians move to the next "assembly line" patient. This is obviously NOT the REAL answer to your question, but it seems to be the trend in medicine these days, and I urge anyone who feels they have been abandoned by their physician to make their issues known. You CAN find the real definition of patient abandonment via the internet - just keep looking a little further. You'll find that many cases you may THINK are abandonment are really just examples of unprofessionalism, but not truly abandonment since other options and/or doctors were available to you within a reasonable time. Yet, that doesn't mean your physician should get a "pass" for unprofessional conduct. Remember there are other ways you can let people know about the conduct of your doctor. Find out the controlling authority for physicians in your state (who provides licenses to practice medicine) and complain to them. You can also send complaints to the Better Business Bureau, the Chamber of Commerce for the county where the physician does business, and there is nothing to keep you from sending letters to the local newspapers - especially small community newspapers that are typically desperate for anything relevant to print, and local organizations. Many of your letters may be dismissed and ignored, but if you send enough letters and make enough phone calls you can actually create an atmosphere of community dislike toward a particular physician (or business). Surprisingly, a single - but determined - dissatisfied client/patient can create the appearance of multiple issues just by the influx of letters by the various organizations and community officials. I'm NOT advocating you harass a doctor for a single case of misdiagnosis that was somewhat inconvenient, but not substantially damaging to you. And I'm not suggesting everyone should make a major issue over every mistake a doctor makes. They are humans and are naturally imperfect. But I AM encouraging those who have been recklessly (or selfishly) ignored by doctors or mistreated in a way that caused serious "damages" (discomfort, job loss, etc.) to STAND UP and make yourself heard because you will be helping others who will likely be treated as you have been treated unless there is some kind of intervention. Good physicians are becoming increasingly rare, and they should be respected and thanked for their contribution to the community. Bad physicians (or selfish physicians who care more about their business than their clients) should be identified so others can avoid the same experience you've had. Complaining about bad medical care is more than a right; it's a responsibility. Don't quit. Find - AND DEMAND - proper medical care, and pursue those who denied that care to you until those medical professionals are driven out of business or clean up their act. It's for the common good. Good luck.

I don't know if you'll have to make a new full appointment every time, but in the entire United States, all ADHD medications are Schedule II, which means they cannot be prescribed by phone, cannot have refills, nothing -- the *only* way to get them is a paper prescription, which in addition must have security features such as a watermark, etc.
It is the same way with OxyContin, Morphine and other high strength pain medications.
No refills, no phone prescriptions, ONLY a hard copy paper prescription can be used.
