1. Postpartum home health?

   mom2is replied to mom2is's topic in Home Health

   My visit was covered under my insurance. Now that I am thinking more about this, I wouldn't mind doing antepartum visits for high risk moms too. I found an agency affiliated with a university health system nearby that offers both services! I think I ...

2. Postpartum home health?

   mom2is replied to mom2is's topic in Home Health

   I know! I had a pp nurse come to my house after the birth of my second daughter and I thought it was great. I would love to start something like this, but wouldn't even know where to begin! Any ideas???

3. Postpartum home health?

   mom2is posted a topic in Home Health

   I am an L&D nurse who would love to work home care. Are there any companies who would hire a nurse to do strictly postpartum visits? If so, what type of experience would they look for? I have almost 1 year of hospital experience as an RN and also...

4. Rn New Grad Pay in Michigan?

   mom2is replied to PACIFICWHALES's topic in Michigan

   I am a new grad working in a metro Detroit hospital and I make $24.50/hr plus shift diff. I honestly have not heard of sign on bonuses for nurses without experience in this area. The only thing I have heard of is loan forgiveness programs.

5. New Grad:All jobs requiring 1 yr experience?

   mom2is replied to tiffnshaker's topic in Michigan

   Henry Ford (downtown) has some type of ICU internship. I can't remember if they call it an internship or something different. A friend of mine applied for sicu. Beaumont also has them and they are very competitive, require an essay etc, so look into ...

6. Step Up Program at St. Johns

   mom2is replied to inspire's topic in Michigan

   I also wanted to add that if you start now, you will have almost two years in by the time you graduate. Your seniority will go by date of hire! Something to think about... many floors offer day shift positions by seniority.

7. Step Up Program at St. Johns

   mom2is replied to inspire's topic in Michigan

   I did this program and was part of the first graduating class to be offered this opportunity (there were 3 of us who just graduated and were part of the first group to go through the program. There is an article about it in the hospital's newsletter ...

8. SC4 vs Macomb

   mom2is replied to smn0408's topic in Michigan

   Also, don't just go by driving distance to the school; you need to consider where the clinical sites will be. There are semesters you will be at clinical more often than at the college. For example peds is at Royal Oak Beaumont, Children's downtown a...

9. Who has the shortest waitlist in Metro Detroit?

   mom2is replied to Ilovehellokitty's topic in Michigan

   If you are in Ann Arbor and don't plan to move closer, I don't think I would necessarily recommend Macomb. That is a VERY long drive and not a lot of fun in the winter! (they rarely if ever call of for weather and I live much closer than you and hate...

10. MCC Nursing Qs and advice

    mom2is replied to ToxicShock's topic in Michigan

    I would really aim for all A's in your classes! The program is very competitive and most students have a 4.0 or very close to it and a high HESI score. There was also some talk about not using the last 12 credit hours for the gpa and using the gpa fr...

11. Professionalism?!?!?!

    mom2is replied to MOMTOFIVE's topic in General Students

    I see nothing wrong with students wanting to get together to blow off some steam at the end of the semester! Why did this student feel as though she had to "police" the rest of the students and turn the email over to the dean? She could have easily i...

    mom2is replied to linux7's topic in Michigan

    Most of the classes are based on 2-3 test grades. Occasionally, there will be 10 "buffer" points from homework, but not always.

13. Is there ANYWHERE in Michigan with no waitlist?

    mom2is replied to springing's topic in Michigan

    Macomb doesn't have a waitlist, but they typically get 1000 applications for 120 spots. They also are not offering the accelerated program anymore which had added an extra 30 spots. There is also talk that they will soon change the gpa calculation to...

14. To Scarf or not to Scarf

    mom2is replied to 2bNurse Smart's topic in Michigan

    I have seen nurses and doctors (residents) wear them in the metro Detroit area. If it is a longer covering, some tuck them into their lab coat or scrubs.
