Hi I have been traveling as HH/Hospice nurse for several years and had a recent itch to maybe try correctional. Do I need a year in corrections to travel? Thanks, J
Fyi- i just found out that a bill to add Indiana to the Nursing compact state license agreement has passed the Indiana senate and is in house committee. They have until April to decide. If it passes the house it will go into effect July 1st. This wou...
Hi, I am working in HH and I love the actual work, it is the charting that drives me crazy. My supervisors keep changing my OASIS/ assesment answers to ones that just aren't true, especially in functional scores. I am guessing that the aagency gets p...
Hello all, I am currently in the FNP program at IWU and the one thing that has me considering not finishing us the freaking portfolio. I am not stupid by any means. I carried honors in my other masters, on nursing school and currently in the FMP pro...
Hi has anyone heard of using santyl as part of a wet to dry dressing? As in applying the santyl then putting wet gauze over it then covering it with a foam dressing?!
Geeze, scanning too fast and misread it as How many NP's does it take to diagnose a patient? I thought it was a joke, like how many politicians does it take to screw in a light bulb! Actually, I think I like mine better. So- what do you think? How m...

Hi, I am slated to start in Nov 2015, but have concerns that they are so vague about the financial aid. What has your experience been? I have never heard of a school that does not reveal financial aid umtil AFTER classes start. I don't want to be bli...
Hi, I have been a nurse about 5 years, and have done mostly hospice with some LTC (about a year) and chronic dialysis (about 6 months), with hospice being the most recent. I am worried that I have forgotten a lot of things I will need. Any suggestio...

Do you know anyone who has graduated and passed the licensing exam? How hard was it to set up your clinicals? What is the eval process re: clinicals? Did you have to pay your clinical instructors? Thanks, Jennifer
