   calemjess replied to danyd's topic in Hospice

   I have been out of nursing since 1998 and I'm worried that my skills won't be up to par, but am interested in getting back into nursing. Hospice has always been of interest to me, since I had a grandmother that received Hospice care in her home. I ...

4. Need advice!

   calemjess replied to calemjess's topic in General Nursing

   I am just thinking out loud. We have a local university that allows you to do a fast track if you already have your RN. Most of the coursework can be done from home as web-based programs. You set up your clinicals with your instructor. I'm just...

   calemjess replied to calemjess's topic in General Nursing

   One of the hospitals I have talked with would train me in mother/baby and when I'm ready to work more (when my last child gets into school) I could easily transfer over to L&D. I guess I just feel somewhat invaluable because I only want to work 1...

8. Training question?

   calemjess replied to calemjess's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Everyone mentions mother/baby. This particular hospital has it set up as one unit for all. You do everything in one room. As a matter of fact I had all 3 of my children there. It was sooo nice because it is like being in your own living room, the...

    Sorry, I cannot offer any advice, but I am in a similar boat. I have been on the look out for a job (part time). I worked over 5 years in Neuro ICU and have been out of it for about 7 years. I feel like I need a refresher course. If you find any...
