1. Nebraska RN home health wages

   ladyapj replied to Texas_RN's topic in Home Health

   I just started working home health & get $45 per visit + mileage but mileage isn't paid on the 1st visit of every day and one of my patients is 45 miles out. No insurance, 401K, continuing ED reimbursement, phone, etc. I took this job just to mak...

2. Being forced to give corporate access to my medical records?!

   ladyapj replied to IRN2011's topic in Nursing

   Probably, because they knew they were doing something wrong and want to keep other nurses blind to what's going on. However, no identifiers posted so they can't trace without hacking.

3. school nurse or clinical instructor?

   ladyapj replied to 2bnurse_it's topic in Career

   That's very true. I think there's a lot of room for improvement in some aspects of nursing educarion.

4. school nurse or clinical instructor?

   ladyapj replied to 2bnurse_it's topic in Career

   Because that person had very little experience and it was only in an out-patient dialysis unit. If clinical experience is all that's required to teach, why would schools require MSN's to teach RN's? The school was a for-profit one that charged 3 time...

   I just passed my NCLEX and I am confused about what to do. I have a job offer at a hospice that I would love to take, but my long-term goal is to teach. I have applied to many residencies, but haven't received a response yet. As I am much older than most new grads, I am wondering if I should skip the hospice job for now and wait for a residency position that starts in June/July. The only information I have been able to find on MSN programs is that they require at least 2 years of RN experience. They have not specified if the experience needs to be in a hospital setting. I do have 5 years of direct patient care experience as an EMT/Paramedic so there are many things I know about patient care, just not from an RN perspective. I worked on ambulance and not in the ER so I have no hospital setting experience. Any info will be greatly appreciated.

   I know an ADN that got a job teaching in a private nursing school. I was horrified! My understanding is an MSN is required, at least at reputable schools.

7. Patients Viewing Nursing Notes In Real Time

   ladyapj replied to Tnurse24's topic in Nursing

   I requested to see my records as a patient back in the early 90's. The nurses seemed upset by this, but I was allowed to see them. I wasn't checking up on the nurses, I was checking up on the doctors. Turned out I was right about my suspicions. Most ...

   Definitely consult an attorney. I wouldn't sign it. They have no right to your medical records.

9. Huge Zoom Mistake....Nurse Instructors Caught!

   ladyapj replied to Pre.Nurse_tobe's topic in Nursing

   This is horrifying and should be reported immediately! Racist remarks have no place in today's society and these instructors need to be fired! The instructors are the ones that are not professional. My BP is off the charts reading this! The students ...

    ladyapj replied to NurseStudentK75's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I am 57 and have finally reached my last semester. I began my career in medicine when I was 19 working as an EMT and then paramedics. Back in those days, women were only just beginning to work in firehouses. Many years later, it is common to have wom...

    I applied to Brookhaven and Mountain View for Spring 2019 semester. I had 32.5 points for Brookhaven and did not even get an interview. I don't remember my exact points for Mountain View but I think it was maybe 13. I did get an interview with Mounta...

    ladyapj replied to FUTURE SH RN's topic in Texas

    I would take Mountain View over El Centro any day. El Centro supposedly made all kinds of changes since they got suspended but if you look at their website, they're still using the same screening criteria. They also could've told everybody that appli...

    ladyapj replied to FUTURE SH RN's topic in Texas

    We only know how many points we started with. The writing sample & interview also add or subtract points so nobody will ever know what their final scores were. I started with 17 points & I felt like I did really good on the interview but I di...

    Actually, my first choice was Brookhaven because it's closer to my house & it only takes 16 months to complete but I didn't have enough points. I also applied to Tarrant County & Mountain View & Mountain View was my 2nd choice because it'...
