1. Lehman FNP Program Fall 2023

   thecareerchanger replied to pickychic4eva's topic in NP Students

   Thanks @pickychic4eva! I feel like that's a CUNY/SUNY thing for some reason (I did undergrad at Brooklyn College "back in the day" and then ABSN at Downstate). I was also looking at MSN in Education at various SUNY/CUNY as that would be an interest f...

3. WOCN with MSN, what is your degree in?

   thecareerchanger posted a topic in Wound

   I am currently enrolled in WOC program at Emory (I just started last month) but would like to pursue MSN once done with program. I am just curious what MSN degrees other WOC nurses have? I go back and forth between FNP and education, even before purs...

4. WOCN: is continence necessary

   thecareerchanger replied to chappy34's topic in Wound

   I know this is super old but I actually was wondering this. I currently work in med surg/tele but may be transitioning to wound care role at current hospital. I initially was interested in eventually pursuing all 3 specialties but I was wondering if ...

5. Cleveland Clinic Online

   thecareerchanger replied to Anonymous666's topic in Wound

   I saw on the Webwoc website that the virtual practicum would be discontinued as of January 2023 but anyone enrolled prior should be fine. Cleveland clinic also has virtual practicum but no plans to discontinue from what I could see so far

6. Cleveland Clinic Online

   thecareerchanger replied to Anonymous666's topic in Wound

   OK this is good to know as I am interested in doing WOCN in the future but want completely online program. I work in med-surg full-time and home care PRN so I am not going to have those hours. I may have to consider WEBWOC again

7. Fear of Floating | Life of a Nurse

   thecareerchanger replied to JeanstarMSN's topic in General Nursing

   I dreaded floating when I was in the hospital but honestly my assignments were usually better than my home unit and I left on time more often then not. Most staff were appreciative as well. I am now trying to go back to the hospital, hopefully as a f...

8. Webwoc program anyone?

   thecareerchanger posted a topic in Wound

   I'm a new home care RN and have an interest in being WOCN certified. Two programs that interest most are Emory and Webwoc; Webwoc also has the clinical portion online which is very appealing and convenient, albeit expensive. Anyone currently in or co...

9. Any home health RNs that are CDCES/CDE?

   thecareerchanger posted a topic in Endocrine

   I am a new home health RN (almost 3 months) and have considered becoming a diabetes educator. Any current diabetes educators also working in home health? I have only just started logging my hours that qualify and it seems it will take forever to get ...

10. Transitioning From 10 years of Home Care Consultant/Home Infusion Nurse to Med-Surg Nights.

    thecareerchanger replied to BrooklynRN35's topic in Med-Surg

    Wow. Most nurses I know go the opposite route and with good reason in my opinion! Also I am surprised you were able to get a home care job as a new grad since they usually want acute care experience prior. Anyway I was a med surg nurse for almost 2 y...

11. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    thecareerchanger replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in COVID

    My employer has asked (I am a new home health RN) if I wanted to take vaccine but I have declined as I am not comfortable taking it at this time. It is not mandated but maybe it will be at some point since the agency I am under is part of a large hea...

12. Northwell Health Fellowship July 2020

    thecareerchanger replied to MelMendez28's topic in Job Hunt

    blastfellow I did not interview (I applied late though) this is why I doubt it will happen for me, plus I would need more than 2 weeks notice for my current employer out of curiosity. In any event, good luck to everyone else!

13. Northwell Health Fellowship July 2020

    thecareerchanger replied to MelMendez28's topic in Job Hunt

    Seriously?? Well if things don't work out (and at this point I don't see it happening) I will try periop in October if available

14. Northwell Health Fellowship July 2020

    thecareerchanger replied to MelMendez28's topic in Job Hunt

    They may still be interviewing for LIJ and Northshore ER/critical care since someone (I believe was a recruiter) reached out to me via email for possible phone interview; positions are for nights only (I can only do day or eve shifts) and they are lo...
