  1. HH visits at ALF

    anticoagulationurse posted a topic in Home Health

    Does anybody else do admissions or visits at an assisted living facility that is staffed with NURSES? This has always perplexed me and it makes me feel like I am "bending the rules" just to get a...

  2. Lost my CPNE files!

    anticoagulationurse posted a topic in Excelsior College

    Help me! My computer crapped out and on it the files I have been sending out for almost a year now (to folks who respond to the Passing the CPNE... sticky thread). So sorry to those of you who have...

  3. Excelsior AND RN applications

    anticoagulationurse posted a topic in Washington Nursing

    For those of you interested in Excelsior College, please be aware WA does accept Excelsior grads for RN licensure BUT they do require a 200 hour contracted, unpaid preceptor experience before they...

  4. Washington State and Excelsior

    anticoagulationurse posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    For those of you interested in Excelsior College, please be aware WA does accept Excelsior grads for RN licensure BUT they do require a 200 hour contracted, unpaid preceptor experience before they...

  5. We are looking for home health nursing software

    anticoagulationurse replied to PALOMAHOMEHEALTH's topic in Home Health

    Our agency uses Cerner RoadNotes and it is terrible! The opposite of user friendly/intuitive. Crashes frequently, etc. Bad, bad

  6. Dear Lord: Please give me patience....

    anticoagulationurse replied to elizabeth8503RN's topic in General Nursing

    I have learned to not ask Him for patience or He will give me a means and a reason to learn

  7. Necrotizing Fasciitis from a PAPER CUT

    anticoagulationurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    Scary! I have a patient who had a normal little paper cut. She worked in a medical records department. Two weeks later her arm was being eaten alive from the inside out by necrotizing fasciitis...

  8. The Money is my motivation

    anticoagulationurse replied to RNDreamer's topic in General Nursing

    Emergency Nurse - I don't think your sentiment matches what the OP is trying to suggest and lacks the very sensitivity that you are insisting the OP have. Not all nursing is bedside nursing, and maybe...

  9. Cannot find a job here in Washington!

    anticoagulationurse replied to thrumylense's topic in Washington Nursing

    Go2WorkSource.com - Search Jobs, Post Rs, Career Resources This covers all of WA (but of course not all jobs are listed here) but many are since it is a free site. Best

  10. The Money is my motivation

    anticoagulationurse replied to RNDreamer's topic in General Nursing

    Well, in the beginning I too, worked for my paycheck. I was not only bored with certain jobs but HATED them and cried most days, despite the fact I was still learning and had the challenges I craved...

  11. What kind of nurse are you?

    anticoagulationurse replied to EricaSAFJAF's topic in General Nursing

    Home Health nurse for the last 2 years. Intermittent visits. I LOVE it, but it's not for everybody. This was after 5 years of nursing jobs I did not love. I went into Nursing because I took a...

  12. working prn for two different agencies...

    anticoagulationurse replied to Timetochange08's topic in Home Health

    My agency does not allow

  13. How long can till the blood is bad?

    anticoagulationurse replied to nursecher's topic in Home Health

    I would call the lab and find out. But our lab requires us to deliver them within 4 hours so they can be centrifuged if needed. Otherwise, the specimens themselves are always kept at our lab for 7...

  14. What do you wear?

    anticoagulationurse replied to RRlc's topic in Home Health

    Scrub-a-dub-dubs here. There's not really too much of a dress code (no jeans no shorts, no tanks), but I am lazy about fashion and scrubs are

  15. Blood draws and home health

    anticoagulationurse replied to Sensoria17's topic in Home Health

    First let me assure you I was kind of (unnecessarily) terrified of phlebotomy. I had never attempted a phlebotomy until I was in HH. I knew the principles, had IV training (but no real experience),...

  16. Hospital/SNF and hyperglycemia

    anticoagulationurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    Ok, this is something I have wondered about for a loooong time. Keep in mind I DO understand that cases of illness/surgery related hyperglycemia are transiently related to the physiological stresses...

  17. Hooker in the house?

    anticoagulationurse posted a topic in Home Health

    I'm serious here and want to share a hunch and an LOL. Did an admission visit on this fine Sunday morning for a man with whom I was familiar from a prior SNF job years ago. I remembered sort of...

  18. LPN to RN wage in current LPN position

    anticoagulationurse replied to sallyjane's topic in LPN to RN

    Yes, but being an RN automatically imbibes more responsibility as per the nature of the licensure. I could work at Starbucks as a barista and would still expect more than a starting wage because of...

  19. pay per visit?

    anticoagulationurse replied to GRnurse57's topic in Home Health

    Well, I know my company certainly hires travel positions for everything else... except nursing for some reason. Not to say the jobs aren't out there, just don't tend to need travel nurses in my...

  21. can someone review my resume?

    anticoagulationurse replied to kerussll's topic in General Nursing

    A few things: 1) you have a lot of education and maybe they think you will expect too much pay and don't want to bother offering you a job you may be "overeducated" for. 2) It's good to use verbs,...

  22. LPN to RN wage in current LPN position

    anticoagulationurse replied to sallyjane's topic in LPN to RN

    You want me to take more responsibility (which having an RN license automatically adds) then you pay me more money or I go work somewhere

  23. Most annoying things when starting as a nurse or a nurse in a new place?

    anticoagulationurse replied to SchoolNurseLaura's topic in General Nursing

    Dittos! I also do not like being oriented to each nurse's special and specific way of doing this or that thing and expecting me to keep track and do it their way when working with them rather than...

  24. Is it legal for them to have me take sick call unpaid?

    anticoagulationurse replied to cokeforbreakfast's topic in General Nursing

    I am guessing...

  25. Hooker in the house?

    anticoagulationurse replied to anticoagulationurse's topic in Home Health

    Interesting discussion here. I would like to add that even mild harassment is that which is unwanted. That is NOT to say I wanted to see his Mediaos or the woman in the next room, but I was...
