1. Is home health that bad?

   Denali_25 replied to trinan71's topic in Home Health

   I took a HH job last November and was so terrified to make the transition out of acute care. But let me tell you, it was the best career decision I've ever made! I love it so much. No other area of nursing offers the same freedom, flexibility, and ab...

2. Questions regarding HH

   Denali_25 replied to ash12345's topic in Home Health

   1. I am an RN and I only received two days of training out in the field. 2. The first month was really rough and I felt very overwhelmed. But after that I got used to things and I absolutely love my job now. I would have said that two days was not n...

3. Inappropriate things patients say

   Denali_25 replied to Lev's topic in Relations

   I have a home health patient who boggles my mind with the kind of stuff he says to me. I once asked him for his signature and he "jokingly" said I would need to pay him $10. I told him I did not have $10 on me and his response was, "That's okay, you ...

6. STNA assessing lung sounds?

8. STNA assessing lung sounds?

   Denali_25 posted a topic in General Nursing

   The Scene: You walk into your patient's room/home. After chatting for a bit you pull out your stethoscope and begin to listen to your patient's lungs. Your patient then tells you that her STNA previously informed her that her lung sounds are clear. Y...

9. Nursing Supervisor salary

   Denali_25 replied to KBICU's topic in LTC Directors

   I have to disagree with those saying you need more than two years of nursing experience to be a good supervisor in LTC. I was a supervisor for the first 15 months of my nursing career. While it was tough, and I had to learn a ton of leadership skills...

10. 3.4 gpa-doomed?

    Denali_25 replied to iheartcells's topic in General Students

    "Today, everyone has a 4.0 b/c they go to community colleges that are not challenging or cheating is rampant." That's interesting. My community college courses were a heck of a lot more challenging than my university classes.

11. "Bless Your Heart"

    Denali_25 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Relations

    Why do you (OP) care whether or not someone makes outward identification of their spirituality? Does it somehow have an affect on you? Seriously, I don't understand your vehement reaction to the phrase "Blessed day".

    I'm an inpatient oncology nurse in a rather small regional hospital. I was just hired in July, 2014. Before then I had a little over a year's experience in LTC. This was my initial nursing job after graduation in December 2012 because nursing jobs ar...
