  1. LNA's Salary...Hospital or LTC???

    NHmommy posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm currently enrolled in an LNA program, and due to finish in Sept. I've heard the payscale is anywhere from $11-17/hr. Quite a stretch. Currently there is a tech job available at Elliott per diem...

  2. Going to school to be an LPN but...

    NHmommy replied to DelanaRN's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Yes, you can work as a CNA while in nursing school. I'd look for a job that has tuition re-imbursement. Most hospitals are so desperate they will pay CNA's to upgrade to LPN's and LPN's to upgrade to...

  3. Grief Counseling

    NHmommy replied to leannek90's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If your hospital does not have available grief counselors, at the very least maybe you could give a list of names of grief counselors in your area. From experience I know first hand talking about the...

  4. Anyone Going or been to NHTI Nursing program?

    NHmommy replied to RNWannaBe724's topic in General Nursing

    each school has different dates for the NLN exam. Call the schools and find out. You can take it anywhere...it doesn't have to be at your school of choice. Just send the grades to the schools you're...

  5. LNA's Salary...Hospital or LTC???

    NHmommy replied to NHmommy's topic in General Nursing

    Does anyone know how hard it is to get hours when you work per-diem? Is it possible to work per-diem in two places so you can get full time pay? Just curious as to what the best course of action is....

  6. Something all OB nurses should know.

    NHmommy posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi I'm new to this site, so I apologize if what I write has already been discussed. I am currently a nursing student, and I hope to work in L&D once I get my degree and get my license. Anyway... I...

  7. Something all OB nurses should know.

    NHmommy replied to NHmommy's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi Amy, Yes, I go to SHARE in Manchester, and I do remember talking to you. I'm the one taking classes at the NHTI in Concord, and we talked about being an LNA before joining an RN program. I'm...

  8. Something all OB nurses should know.

    NHmommy replied to NHmommy's topic in Ob/Gyn

    "Every individual situation should be evaluated individually" I agree, and I'm certainly not arguing that point... All I'm saying is every mother should be INFORMED of what choices she may have, and...

  9. Something all OB nurses should know.

    NHmommy replied to NHmommy's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't think I said anything about everyone wanting something (other than acknowledgement that their baby was 'real'). I meant that most people don't know that they can have things (memorials, photos...

  10. LNA's Salary...Hospital or LTC???

    NHmommy replied to NHmommy's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks. I actually got that info from a nurse at a LTC facility in Derry who teaches an LNA class there. I was surprised it was that high... When I was taking A&P (I'm working on my ADN, but plan...

  11. Something all OB nurses should know.

    NHmommy replied to NHmommy's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think "I don't hear/see a heartbeat" is probably the best response. NO ONE wants to hear the word 'dead' from anyone...even if they know it's true. Even now I never think of my babies as "dead". I...

  12. Something all OB nurses should know.

    NHmommy replied to NHmommy's topic in Ob/Gyn

    i'm so sorry for all that you have been through. like you, i wonder if it will be too difficult to see someone else in the situation, and i have also considered what people (rn's w/ much more...

  13. Something all OB nurses should know.

    NHmommy replied to NHmommy's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think that's great, and I hope to see/hear about this in more hospitals. A person is a person no matter how small ~Dr.

  14. Something all OB nurses should know.

    NHmommy replied to NHmommy's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm so sorry to hear about your twins. It does help me to know that even though only a short time has passed, you are able to help others who are in a similar situation. I know for a fact I'm no where...

  15. Something all OB nurses should know.

    NHmommy replied to NHmommy's topic in Ob/Gyn

    One other thing.... NEVER SAY "it's ok, you can try again" or "at least you have other children" These comments don't amount to a hill of beans when someone is losing the current baby, and all the...

  16. Something all OB nurses should know.

    NHmommy replied to NHmommy's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Deb, you are right, and I'm sorry if I made it sound like a earlier loss is 'better'. Of course a loss is a loss, and sometimes it is harder when no one knows/acknowledges that you ever had a baby, or...

  17. Something all OB nurses should know.

    NHmommy replied to NHmommy's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thank you. I have also had 1st trimester miscarriages in between my kids, so I thought I was well knowledged in the subject of loss until I had my s/b baby, then a subsequent loss (which was in the ER...

  20. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    NHmommy replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    I just found this board, and I'm LMAO at these stories! I haven't worked in an ER yet (new student) so now I can see what I have to look forward to! Ok...sharing a stupid story about myself: One night...

    NHmommy replied to 2bNursewith7kids's topic in General Nursing

    Hello I don't know anything about getting accepted into Rivier's nursing program, but I can tell you you can take A&P, Psych, Micro, etc without being accepted into the nursing program. These are...

    NHmommy replied to cheyne stokes's topic in General Nursing

    HCA just sold Parkland...so I'd find out what happens to your scholarship and contract if I were

  23. LNA School in Dover or Manchester?

    NHmommy replied to Angela1336's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, I'm so horrified to read the negative experience you had w/ LNA Health Careers. I am in a class now at HCTA (evenings in Manchester). We haven't started clinicals so I don't know how the...
