   tokidokifantasy replied to Asia_spain's topic in Job Hunt

   I think you need to start google online for the next Job Fair. I landed two interviews with job fair provided through the hospitals. And, submitting resume/application online does not guarantee you an interview. Going to a job fair guarantees you a 5...

   tokidokifantasy replied to tokidokifantasy's topic in Job Hunt

   yeah, I didn't want to sound like incompetent, because I knew my stuff, but needed more practice of course. DON said one month is fair, but will give additional weeks should I need them. I will receive weekly feedback and I know that will help me det...

5. Is home health nursing considered safe? A little nervous....

   tokidokifantasy replied to x28y31's topic in Home Health

   When in doubt, just ask for help from your supervisor. I was assigned a case to admit a patient at his home, and to find out next day that he has moved. He did not notify agency or me up until the very last minute when I was about to go see him at hi...

   tokidokifantasy replied to aging1's topic in Hospice

   Our comfort kits have morphine, ativan, atropine, and suppository. I don't really know how much it all help with my dying patients, because I still see on the pulse ox HR 156, consistently after giving those meds.

7. Thoughts on switching to HH nursing

   tokidokifantasy replied to NurseB2014's topic in Home Health

   I have been working as a HH nurse for the last few months. I am doing Hospice + HH for two different agencies. It is the flexibility and the autonomy that really attracted me. The fact that I don't need to rush with patients calms my nerve, and you h...

8. can someone pls explain to me?

   tokidokifantasy replied to tokidokifantasy's topic in General Students

   Ok!! I understand now! it makes sense now. I wish the teacher would explain better in her lecture. She basically said all isotonic solutions are vascular expander, they are used to treat hypovolemic shock and basic maintenance. If it was explained li...

11. can someone pls explain to me?

    tokidokifantasy replied to tokidokifantasy's topic in General Students

    LOL! well D5W is isotonic , so is NS, they are both vascular expander. that's why I picked D5W, but the answer is NS. I just don't understand why it isn't D5W because they are both isotonic solution and their purposes are the same.

13. Is Being Fluent in English and Spanish a benefit?

    tokidokifantasy replied to prettypiedra's topic in Student Assist

    it's not on the top of my resume, but I do highlight on my resume that I speak more than 1 language and other dialogs too. The hospital I did rotation at were just grateful that someone could speak other languages, because they did not have anyone at...

14. Is Being Fluent in English and Spanish a benefit?

    tokidokifantasy replied to prettypiedra's topic in Student Assist

    so glad I am multilingual too...while doing rotations we had a lot of Asian patients that need care but could not explain it because they did not speak English. I was able to help and that really made me grateful for not losing my native language. Sp...
