1. So overwhelmed..any advice?

   FredericksX replied to Rachelks's topic in Home Health

   My agency is currently "asking politely" that nurses see 6-7 pt minimum in a day, no matter what. And SOCs, recerts, or ROCs are NOT considered more than one visit. You have an agency-wide meeting that runs two hours? too bad, you still need to see a...

2. Nurses working midnights and sleep disorders

   FredericksX replied to Elisheva's topic in General Nursing

   I don't have any diagnosable sleep disorders, but I also have no discernable sleep pattern: some nights I can get six hours, some times when not working I'm up until 3 or 4 in the morning, wake until the afternoon, and crash until midnight, etc. It's...

3. Low/moderate stress nursing jobs???

   FredericksX replied to Genista's topic in General Nursing

   Ha, no - I'm LEAVING a Med-Surg floor, not heading back to one (at least, not in the forseeable future). And, Itshamrtym (cute name, btw), I'm heading into public health nursing. Steadier hours, imo.

4. Low/moderate stress nursing jobs???

   FredericksX replied to Genista's topic in General Nursing

   I too bit the bullet and gave my notice in a couple of weeks back, although for a Med-Surg floor. My reason was, basically "it's way too stressful on the floor", and when I told one of my assistant managers that some days it's so bad I'm actually fee...

5. If you won the lottery, would you still do your job?

   FredericksX replied to SK-222's topic in General Nursing

   If I won a certain amount of money (more than 2 million) I'd quit working bedside and head into research/education. I'd need enough to pay off all my education bills and put down for a house. I love my job, but dealing with administration and working...

   FredericksX replied to kryssie's topic in NCLEX

   As I didn't start the thread I wasn't sure if I should reply here or not, but there's something to be said for closure. I got my results two days after completing the exam, not two business days later (I took the exam on Thursday and was able to obta...

7. i stopped at 75! help me im nervous..

   FredericksX replied to kryssie's topic in NCLEX

   I'm in NY. I was told the results from the NCLEX wouldn't be posted until two business days after taking the test. I searched for a possible license and nothing's up BUT my permit's still coming up as valid...so that's encouraging maybe? *fingers cro...

8. i stopped at 75! help me im nervous..

   FredericksX replied to kryssie's topic in NCLEX

   *grin* We're all of a kind. I took my exam yesterday and I also stopped at 75. It took me about an hour and fifteen minutes to get to 75. When I left the room I was completely hollow. Some of the questions were no-brainers, but interspersed were some...

9. BSN (RN) or MS (NP) - Which should I go for?

   FredericksX posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   Howdy everyone, I'm not exactly sure where to stick this inquiry, so I might double-post it. Please forgive me in advance. I'm a second-degree student very interested in becoming a nurse. However, as I learn more about the positions within the field...
