overlook hospital rn hospital and communty nurses someone around 38 to 45 with years of experience

sent my application in for fall 2011.. still waiting to hear- what other schools did you apply to? why did you pick umdnj? i work with 2 nurses .. both attending umdnj.. i works part time and said this is doable- one works full time and said it was rough- ill keep you posted-

i find the patient care and home visit to be a wonderful experience. it is calling dr's 3 and 4 times , pharmacies, charting that never ends and documentation that is for the jury in mind as well as check off boxes and naratives and 485s and updates and on and on.. i spend a full day in the field and then chart another 2 to 4 hrs a night- not sure if this is typical

nj community hospice working 4 to 5 days a week with some weekends and oncall if needed anywhere from 28 to 45 an hr smaller private companies pay less... hospital based hospice pay more.. always rushing... always.... loaded down with paper or computer work... (hrs of it) but if you like hospice and you like being a little manic.... ITS A GREAT JOB
