if it something you are interested in doing and the drive isnt too much then I would say go for it now days it is becoming more difficult for nurses with no MDS experience to get in to the field. So if you have the opportunity, the money is right an...

so what exactly is your question? When I write raps I start my rap by writing what triggered the rap and then i write out my reasoning as to why I do or do not agree with the trigger and whether or not I will write a care plan (does that make sense)...

Well since as a travel nurse you technically work for the agency. I would put the agency down and then list the different departments you worked as well as pertinent clinical skills. In an interview you would be able to further explain all the diffe...

where in minnesota do you live? have you considered anything besides hospital work (like home health, Assisted living, agency nursing(esp with you ltc experience)

where do you live? I do know of one company in minnesota. I would like to get into casemanagement but am having difficulty finding a company that doesnt require a bsn

if you go to medicare.gov you can do a nursing home compare and that will give you all the LTC in whatever city or area you are looking for

I dont see why it wouldnt. I have heard that sometimes hospitals like it when nurses come from long term care because they are used to multi tasking. where as i have seen the opposite when a hospital nurse comes to ltc.

where did you here this the last thing i read was that MDS 3.0 was still expected to come out in Oct 2009.

sorry to hear that you are struggling. I would consider a long term care or home health agency at least to get your feet wet you can always continue looking and applying to hospitals. I am not sure where you live but i wish you luck

Was your license affected by your addiction? If it was not affected how do potential employers know about it? Have you looked into non hospital/clinic nursing ie case management, insurance, telephonic interviewer etc? Good luck to you addiction to...

it is my understanding if you get your CNA in wi that minnesota and wisconsin have a reciprocity agreement and that you just need to apply to be on the minnesota nar registry. Minnesota does not charge to put you on the cna registry but wisconsin ma...

It is probably not worthy of a deficiency however surveyors will find deficient practice where they want to. The social worker made a note in the chart about her concerns. You witnessed these complaints (did you make a note). I would also get out ...
