   lynnintn replied to momswann's topic in Case Management

   I let my CCM certification expire like an idiot and am retaking in a week. For those who have tested this year, is there much on the Affordable Care Act on the exam? Am hoping not as that just means one more thing I will need to review Thanks!

   lynnintn replied to theatredork's topic in Burn

   I believe you are mistaking a positive for a negative. I takes a special person to work with burn patients, people in terrible pain whose lives have been changed forever. I worked PICU for 2 years and it just about killed me...I wasn't strong enough....

7. Vent thread "universal" health care

   lynnintn replied to mauxtav8r's topic in Activism

   Amen! The public does NOT understand what universal health care really is. Due to disability and unemployment, my children and I have had to go on TNCARE, Tennessee's Medicaid program. I am thankful to have some type of coverage, but the reality is t...

   I used to use Burts Bees but am now a fan of Palmers Concentrated Cream for less than $3.00 at Walmart or Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream for @ $7.00 at Walmart. The Palmers smells like cocoa and I love it-the Palmers Lip Butter is also great...

9. If you could do it all over.....

   lynnintn replied to GeminiRN2007's topic in Relations

   No, I would choose another profession. I am still likely to do so, as I am only 47 (that is what I keep telling myself) and once my "baby" graduates from high school in 2 years, I am hoping to have a plan in place for a new career. Good luck. No advi...

13. <NEW GRAD for a year now, NO JOB!

    lynnintn replied to Winnie93's topic in Job Hunt

    I am a BSN RN and have never seen employers care whether or not an RN has a diploma, ASN or BSN, at least for entry-level staff nurse positions. Is this a new trend? Aren't there some LPN to RN (ASN) programs that work somewhat like a MSN-bridge pro...

14. Should I leave nursing?

    lynnintn replied to SnowShoeRN's topic in General Nursing

    You will need your MSN before becoming a psych NP; since you have your A.S. in Nursing and your BS in Psychology, you might just need to look at a "Bridge" program in which you essentially skip getting your BSN and go straight into a MSN program. I k...
