1. I have a nagging dilemma regarding an accident

   jenhen82 replied to arnoldlayne's topic in School

   Perhaps you need to think of this as you would an incident occurring as a staff nurse in a hospital or long-term care facility. You would never turn over an incident report to anyone not w/in your organization because it's an "internal" document. Jus...

2. Floating all staff when census is zero

   jenhen82 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

   Simply looking for any thoughts or experiences in regards to smaller facilities that deal with a zero census at times. Does your facility float staff? Will they float all LD staff, leaving no staff on the L&D unit, with the intent to bring staff ...

3. choosing an agency

   jenhen82 posted a topic in Agency

   Hello, fellow nurses. I am new to agency staff nursing. I am in the process of checking out different opportunities in my area (Niceville/Ft. Walton Beach/Crestview/Destin, FL). I am already employed fulltime at a local hospital, but I need to fin...

4. Can't find a job..how to be more marketable??

   jenhen82 replied to StrugglingLPN's topic in Job Hunt

   I doubt i would spend $250 for oxygenation education-I would hope that you learned sufficient info. on that in school-besides that's pricey for a course on the subject. Anyway, I'm responding because I, too, would like some input on how to become mor...

5. Pregnancy Discrimination - Interview

   jenhen82 replied to Art_Vandelay's topic in Job Hunt

   BlueDevil,DNP: I'm surprised you admitted such a detailed hiring experience that you state was so recent. You may want to reconsider what you post on a public forum. Such detail of something so illegal, whether you are in an at-will state or not, c...

6. OCU Kramer nursing

   jenhen82 replied to zntd's topic in Oklahoma

   Don't be scared...the instructors and your fellow students will smell the fear. It just takes a true commitment to make it through. You can't have the mindset that your family will come first or that work comes first...or you won't make it. The mi...

7. OCU Kramer nursing

   jenhen82 replied to zntd's topic in Oklahoma

   Just a thought for everyone: If you do your research on any school with high NCLEX pass rates, then you will find that those schools do "weed out," as you call it, a significant portion of their students. Both lpn and rn schools I've attended lost ...

8. Need nurse with MSN for preceptor, Montgomery, AL

   jenhen82 replied to tokki2u's topic in Alabama

   When I think about it, it's harder to think of someone with an MSN to precept Rn-BSN courses than it is to think of someone to precept form MSN (I can only think of doctors not MSN prepared nurses/nurse practitioners). I knew a DO when I worked in P...

9. Is there a such thing as "set schedules" in nursing programs?

   jenhen82 replied to LizinAL's topic in Alabama

   Unfortunately, I've never met a nurse who didn't complain about the lack of a schedule in nursing school. I have never heard of one with set hours/schedules. Things can even change as little as the day before a clinical or lab. I've attended two n...

10. Need nurse with MSN for preceptor, Montgomery, AL

    jenhen82 replied to tokki2u's topic in Alabama

    I hope someone answers...I have the same question. i'm hoping to go to USA's program next fall. I'm in Birmingham, but I would be willing to travel to Montgomery if it meant finally getting school stuff together.

11. ****Highly decorated RN new grad can't find a job...Any advice???****

    jenhen82 replied to 95catamount's topic in Career Support

    I haven't read the whole thread of responses, yet, but had some suggestions. I, too, have had difficulty finding employment as an RN even with experience as RN, LPN, and CNA. Anyway, I know of a couple of places to try in Virginia Beach area if th...

12. How do I find a list of accredited online adult NP programs?

    jenhen82 replied to Beth Beck's topic in NP

    92mxMom, I've read a few of your posts in my search for info on South Alabama's clinicals. I used to attend USA in hopes of doing the BSN accelerated program when I was an LPN. I was Waitlisted #75 and my usa advisor basicly said pick a new major or ...

13. Anyone currently in Part time St Vincents Program/ Jeff State

    jenhen82 replied to indieflower's topic in Alabama

    All nursing schools that I know of do ERI testing. I went to LPN in Virginia in 2005 and we had to take them. Same at RN in Florida in 2008. We were told in the RN program that we had to pass test in order to pass program....50 pwople out of over ...

14. Failure rate of nursing schools.

    jenhen82 replied to merrywhiterose's topic in General Students

    Just a thought here, but I often attribute the increasing failure/dropout rates to the admission process (or what it has become over the last several years). At this time, it seems that the majority, if not all nursing schools, adhere strictly to adm...

15. Health Insurance Between Assignments

    jenhen82 replied to Sailingshoes's topic in Travel

    I don't think that answered the original question asked, and I'm wondering the same. I have found that maintaining my own insurance can actually cost the same or more than COBRA due to preexisting conditions-not to mention it never offers the same c...
