    How did you guys make the choice to become nurses?

    anh06005 replied to planetoi's topic in General Nursing

    Oh and before anyone says anything I know NPs don't "play doctor." That's just what my mind thought at 10 years old.... And I also know forensic nursing exists. I'm still considering it

    anh06005 replied to planetoi's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not really sure what inspired me to be a nurse. I didn't have a "clouds opening and angels singing" moment. I always loved science class...especially biology and A&P. I thought about marine...

    Need a HH daily agenda

    anh06005 replied to foggnm's topic in Home Health

    Oh and I hardly ever clean people, help to bathroom, etc. We only go out a couple times a week (depending on the issue) and the RN's go to assess the patient, educate on diseases and meds, notify...

    Need a HH daily agenda

    anh06005 replied to foggnm's topic in Home Health

    I do intermittent HH nursing and worked a shift today! I'm charge on the weekends (so I adjust the schedule if need be and take call). I got there about 0640. Looked at the schedule for the weekend...

    HELP, PRAY, how is everyone doing on practice exams?

    anh06005 replied to Dancon's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I keep making in that same range also. Set to graduate in December. It's scaring the crap out of me too (and I have a new Lexapro prescription to prove it). I keep trying to remember that 86% or so...

    New Grad, needing advice regarding work relationships

    anh06005 replied to illumi15's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Sometimes people also over dramatize things thinking it's funny (just another side of the coin). I would make those remarks to my friends or family (or other coworkers depending on their humor). BUT...

    AANP Exam: Not too bad

    anh06005 replied to googs's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm glad to hear it wasn't too bad also!! I graduate in 29 days (woot!) and hope to take the exam soon after so I can (hopefully) be stress free for the holidays. I read the posts about people failing...

    ATT: How long for AANP and ANCC?

    anh06005 posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have already applied for AANP and the only thing they need is my final transcript (so they can release my scores). I hope to take my exam ASAP after graduation. I was wondering how long it took to...

    anh06005 replied to koster22's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I've gotta say I worked cardiac step down for about 1.5 years and then moved to home health where I have been for 3 years. Home health is pretty much on the opposite end of the nursing spectrum from...

    Do nurses have free time?

    anh06005 replied to nickchan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sometimes you can find a weekend option position (like I've got). I work 12 hrs Saturday and 12 hrs Sunday but get paid for 36 hours (plus full time benefits). It's not a bad gig. And if something...

    Yes as PP said. At regular visits RNs and LPNs pretty much do the same thing. Medicare regulations say that only the RNs can do the OASIS paperwork (which is done at the visit types I listed above)....

    anh06005 replied to branthebrat0789's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Actually you REALLY need to review proportions. Medication calculation is life or death in some situations and you can't get on here and ask for help. Just some perspective. But practice makes...

    20 mg / 5 ml = 10 mg / 2.5 ml So 30 mg = 7.5 ml Maybe you should review some proportions and such since that is a lot of medication calculation. Youtube often has helpful
