Hello everyone, had a question Im wanting to work home health soon full time, Im in the beginning stages of divorce and wanting to move away from husband and move like an hour away. So I decided on home health so I can work while my kids are in school and wont really have to rely on a babysitter. Anyway any home health nurses out there who got approved for home loan with just home health income?

Hello, I am currently on a telemetry unit. Have been a nurse for about a year and a half on tele. Really wanting to do home health because I am a single mom and need to be with my kids when they are not in school to help with homework and sick of being tired all the time with working nights. My question is how many patients per week is considered full time? I am going to be moving to Chicago soon and I know that HH pays 50 per patient. Would 25 patients per week be too much to handle? Would home health work for a single mom? Thanks

Hello, I was reading another post about when to call the dr. What are general guidelines on when to call the dr. or transfer a patient to ICU or IMCU, for example a patients BP is 70/60 or if a patients O2 sats are low, any tips? Thanks

Hello, I am a new graduate and currently working in a medsurg/tele unit on nights where the nurse patient ratio is 8 patients/1. I am not by myself yet but when I am I feel like Im going to be really overwhelmed. Is this an unsafe patient ratio? How can I manage 8 patients by myself being new and all?

Why is your family so rude.

Yay, I passed the NCLEX!!! I am now officially an RN. I remember posting on this site how excited I was getting into nursing school, and then how excited I was graduating, and now its finally over. Congrats to everyone who passed and good luck to everyone ready to take it.

Any other responses, I'm also having trouble with this.

Nursing is a great field to get into. You wont have to worry as much about not having job security. As far as nursing school, there is a tremendous amount of studying to do. I have 2 kids and am almost done (in my last semester) so its even a bit tougher when you have a family but it can be done. It is possible as long as you put it in your head that you wont have much of a life but just mostly studying, and between semesters you can relax, but during semester you just hit the books like your life depends on it. So good luck and whatever it is you decide if you have a strong will to do it, it can be done!

My pinning is on Saturday May 16!!!! I cant believe the time is getting so close!!

NS is different because of the tests. The tests are different than any other tests you have taken in your life. Its about picking the best answer, the answer that takes priority, multiple multiple.

You can do it. If you want this bad enough, nothing will get in your way. Like Randy Pausch said "Brick walls are for people who dont want it bad enough." Do not let him get in your way, it can be done with your families support.

Congrats on your first semester! Good luck to ya!

I always have trouble falling asleep at night. Most of the time I have to take a sleeping pill but then I have to deal with that hangover. So you cant win but only 16 more weeks for me of having to wake up early, then its off to my night owl shift .

Im totally going to be a night nurse too. Good thing there are night owls like us to cover the night shifts.
