1. Does this sound do-able?

   jenmlee replied to jade-athyst's topic in Geriatric

   The biggest med passes on the 3-11 shift are typically at 1600, 1700, 1800, 2000. With the two of you there, it shouldn't be a problem. In my LTC, the dressing changes seem to be mostly on the 7-3 shift. I should say I work the 7-3 shift now and i...

3. MDS coordinator help

   jenmlee replied to jenmlee's topic in MDS

7. Please Help

   jenmlee replied to physiologytutor's topic in Michigan

   The best way is to call the schools and speak to someone in the nursing department and put in your inquries. I know @ KVCC they just started their part-time program (as someone previously mentioned) in Allegan. So, just get out there and make those...

8. CNA vs. LPN vs. RN

   jenmlee replied to finola's topic in Michigan

   What a lot of people who are in similar situations do is work as CNA's while going through nursing school. You can work on prereqs a couple of classes at a time toward your ultimate nursing goal. That way you get a chance to get out and start worki...

9. Calling in Sick

   jenmlee replied to Jesskanurse's topic in General Nursing

   At my facility, all we have to do is say we are ill and won't be in now questions asked. If we are really sick and will need/call in several days in a row the policy states we need a Dr.'s note.
