About LunaBuna

LunaBuna has 9 years experience as a BSN, MSN, CNM.

Okay so I came to nursing late in the game after getting a couple of degrees and then living in another country. I got my BSN through an accelerated program and jumped into home health care. I have been in that for five years consistently while also doing some other things. I was also in a health center for two years doing work as a Certified Diabetes Educator (which I loved!). I then went on to get my MSN to be a CNm which I thought I would live but I don’t at least right now. I do get to work at a pretty awesome organization doing sexual health, contraceptive and gynecological care so that was worth it. I am skipping over to another state fairly soon and have a desire to take a leap into bedside nursing. So that’s me. There is a lot more other than nursing but you may not be interested in that so I will leave you here. Thanks for reading!

    Hi All, I realize I'm a little late to this thread but I wanted to know more about this program. Do they offer a psych NP post masters certificate? I have my CNM and I am trying to find an affordable program. I am also based in CA so not sure if...

    No hospital will hire me!

    LunaBuna replied to ineedachange1's topic in Job Hunt

    While I appreciate your offering input, it doesn't feel to me that it is very supportive. I actually have tried smaller hospitals both in this area and within a 150 mile radius. I don't have issues working in any area and I don't care about big name ...

    Where to look for jobs in Bay Area

    LunaBuna replied to kcwhitRN's topic in California

    Yes, thank you! I pour over Indeed every day! I stopped trying with Kaiser - that's like the ivy league of hospitals out here and it feels impossible to get an interview! I will look more at LinkedIn as well. Unfortunately, I don't have the experienc...

    COngrats! I'm still searching. Unfortunately, I don't have the acute care hospital experience so it is really tough to find anything but home health nursing for me. Wish me luck!

    Home Health

    LunaBuna replied to webblarsk's topic in COVID

    Yes I agree and I also feel like some of the referrals are really not appropriate - like “family requests home health nurse to check vitals” ummmm no thanks. This is not the hospital. They are isolating themselves at home for a reason. I feel bad but...

    Thanks for the heads up! Does it have to be responses to other people’s posts or does it also include my own posts?

    Thank you for the advice! I’m moving to CA, specifically Palo Alto. I’m really not sure what is in that area. I’m moving from CT so it is a big change for me. I hear you about the APRN degree - sometimes I wonder if I should even include it in my res...
