Male RN, looking to get into hospice care.

  1. Am I crazy to take a hospice job?

    Hey Kate: I've also been having this same thought process. When I got out of nursing school, I had to take the first job I could find, which was analyzing clinical data for QC. I got a kick out of it at first, but find that I spend most of my time...
  2. My thoughts too...if they're that narrow-minded, I probably wouldn't enjoy being around them anyway.
  3. I just can't do this anymore...

    I agree, your husband should be more supportive of what makes YOU happy. As far as the job goes, get somewhere that you are happy and you enjoy. Many years ago, a pharmacist I knew told me "we spend too many waking hours at work to not enjoy what w...
  4. what shoes do you wear...

    I've actually been having great luck with the New Balance MW575WT all white walking shoes. They're comfortable, easy to clean, and didn't cost a fortune. I have high arches, so I'm very particular about what I put on my feet.
  5. Best Lotion for cracked hands?

    My fingers and thumbs were getting in horrible shape because of constant hand washing and gloving. I finally started to carry a small tube of Eucerin w/me and would re-lotion as often as I could between pts, to help retain moisture at work, and then...
  6. Shift Change!

    I've only been on the job as a CNA for a little over a month, and work 2nd shift (2-10). It's okay, get the residents after they've had lunch, before dinner, and then afterward just have to put them to bed. Third shift seems like they have the best...
  7. Announce that you passed your CNA exam here!

    I passed my CNA exam on 1/4/2009. I had passed the written test on the first try back in December, but the evaluator started talking to me during the practicals and asked me to perform one of them differently, and then she failed me for it, so I did...
  8. National American University???

    I can't speak for the other campuses, but at the Denver campus, we have some very competent instructors. The director of our nursing program is one of the advisors to the council that writes the NCLEX exam (so I was told, anyway), so maybe it's somet...
  9. about being harassed as a male

    Don't give in, just walk away. This kind of "fake" crying is almost always a ploy, because she knows she screwed up and she's hoping that by crying, you'll feel sorry for her, not report her and she'll be off the hook -- you've heard the expression ...
  10. what's a good stethoscope for nursing school?

    For those of us who are not familiar with advanced sound technology, I take it this is a good thing? LOL
  11. National American University???

    Well, I won't be eligible until probably next June, as I am taking A&P I this qtr, A&P II + Algebra 2nd qtr, Micro and Nutrition 3rd qtr (they took Eng Comp as a transfer, so I'm taking Nutrition to get enough points). I've already had all ...
  12. Where are the Accredited Programs?

    When I enrolled at NAU, I was told by my counselor that the NLNAC was tentatively coming in this fall to evaluate them for accreditation, and they felt optimistic that they were going to get it. According to her, there are currently only two other n...
  13. National American University???

    Hey there, Kenaldo and MomOf6WannaBeRN....I'm enrolled at the NAU Denver campus too! Are either of you interested in getting a study group together (assuming we're taking the same course)? I'm taking A&P I, Mon & Wed. Let me know!
  14. A&P 1 Spring 08

    Don't waste your money on a tape recorder, get a digital voice recorder. Microcassettes have to be flipped over, which can disrupt the class, and you can only record a short amount at a time before it fills up. Go to Best Buy or Office Max (or simi...
  15. Teas test question

    By the way, many thanks for the website info, I'll use that too. I absolutely need every advantage so I can make sure I get into clinicals without having to wait. Much appreciated from all of us that still have it in front of us.
