1. It's still mild right?

   peace_solace posted a topic in COVID

   My understanding is that they're more concerned about this virus becoming more virulent and coming back around a second time. Why don't they allow it to spread now while it's still mild so we can all build up an immunity to it? Maybe that's a stupi...

4. Night shift??

   peace_solace replied to Lutie's topic in LPN/LVN

   I would take it if I were you. I work night shift and I love it. It's great when you have kids because if they have a program during the day or an appointment, you don't need to try and take off of work to get there. You can be available for those...

5. Home health to hospice?

   peace_solace posted a topic in Hospice

   Hi all, I'm thinking of making the transition from home health case manager to hospice triage/on-call RN. Has anyone made this transition? How are the two similar, and how are they different? Is the charting as extensive in hospice as it is in ho...

6. hoping to get into home health nursing

   peace_solace replied to colleennurse's topic in Home Health

   When I interviewed I told them that I would prefer to be able to focus on one patient at a time and give them my undivided attention without being pulled in several different directions at once. In the home, you can spend more quality time with each...

7. How long did it take you to chart your first admission?

   peace_solace posted a topic in Home Health

   Just curious how long it took everyone to chart their first admission. I did my first one last night and it took me 3-1/2 hours!! I'm hoping that's not too far from normal for the first one, and I'm also hoping that I'll be able to whittle that dow...

   Hi all, I'm a new grad and I'm also new to home health. I'm in my third week at the company and enjoying it a lot. They have a very extensive orientation and have a lot of support available so I feel comfortable working there as a new grad. My que...

    peace_solace replied to hoolahan's topic in Home Health

    Hi all, I'm a new grad RN and will be starting a job as a home health visit nurse next Monday. I know many of you don't recommend starting right out of school, but I'm hoping you'll accept me here anyway? The company I'm starting with has an extens...

11. Has anyone gone to school with a new baby?

    peace_solace replied to alliestar's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, it can be done. When I started school my girls were 6 and 3. Now we have three kids, they are 9, 6, and my son is 3. I had my son and did all online classes the semester after he was born (still doing prereqs at that time). I have worked 20 ...

    peace_solace replied to catnip's topic in General Nursing

    That's how our school has done it all along. We have to get 77% on the tests, and everything else is added in after that. No matter how good we do on the rest of the stuff, if we get an average of less than 77% on the tests for the semester, we are...

15. fear of vomit?

    peace_solace replied to maggijo's topic in General Nursing

    You are not alone. I also have a fear of vomit; in fact I would call it a phobia. It has taken a lot for me to decide to face my fear and go to nursing school in spite of the fact that I am going to have to deal with it, because I know that in all ...
