1. Any Hospital CM/LCSWs here? Got a load of questions about your job.

   CrazyCoconut replied to CrazyCoconut's topic in Case Management

   Thanks for your detailed response. What happened then when you and the CM told the surgeons that? What is the hospital suppose to do when the family refused to learn? They have to pay for IVB Antibiotics?

   CrazyCoconut replied to CrazyCoconut's topic in Case Management

   Thank you. Without getting too detailed, its part of a government agency's assessment of the roles in the hospital. And no, it's not for accreditation or anything. It's more for surveying.

   CrazyCoconut posted a topic in Case Management

   Hey Case Managers/LCSW/Social Workers, I was tasked with following the hospital case managers the other day. Looking, watching, and observing what they do. And I'm an excellent observer. Most were very busy and stressed because of high census. So I h...

4. Tuition, how much is too much

   CrazyCoconut replied to hopefulkim99's topic in Post Graduate

   2 years for ADN, 1 year for RN-BSN, 2 years for MSN. So 5 years in total. I suppose there are faster, accelerated routes but then, they cost a ton. $100K for BSN/NP is definitely not worth it, especially with the influx of new grad RN's/NP's I'm hear...

5. Tuition, how much is too much

   CrazyCoconut replied to hopefulkim99's topic in Post Graduate

   My friends and I have found the ADN route to be the cheapest. In California, they would give us a tuition waiver if you were low income, so costs were extremely minimal. So the financial aid that came through would go to other things like rent and fo...

6. Which NP specialty is most in demand?

   CrazyCoconut replied to portx's topic in NP

   Geriatric because of the aging population and Acute Care gets my vote. HIGH need for them.

9. Anyone go to a Nursing convention?

   CrazyCoconut replied to lrc1203's topic in General Nursing

   How much do these convention events cost usually? Is it like a 3-day pass for so-and-so amount?

10. Did I Make the Right Decision?

11. LOL. Lost track of time...

    CrazyCoconut replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    Yes, there's nothing like waking up 4AM Sunday morning dressed in scrubs and ready to go to clinical because you thought it was your Monday AM shift.

12. Visually impaired nurses/ legally blind nurses

    CrazyCoconut replied to MTtoBSN's topic in Disabilities

    I agree with Esme12. I just want to add to please seek student disability services at your school should you need it. They can accommodate your visual impairment with things such as text readers, text to speech, low vision aid software, and more. Als...

14. A&P I & II + Microbiology for one semester

    CrazyCoconut replied to sunshine&shots's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Surprisingly, all borderline A's (there were no + or - thank goodness). I swear I got a few grey hairs though lol. Shoot for the A's to be competitive, as your peers who will be applying to the programs will likely have 4.0 GPA in these subjects.

15. A&P I & II + Microbiology for one semester

    CrazyCoconut replied to sunshine&shots's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Glad you found your classes. Just remember to do things at your own pace, since everyone's situation or circumstances are different (i.e. kids, etc). I remember when I did my pre-req's, I took a 4-week A&P I followed by a 4-week A&P II alongs...
