  1. Foot care training

    yrmajesty3 replied to kernow's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Hi BLessedskmom, Glad you are joining in on the conversation. I am attending the Emory class next week. How long after the course did you take the exam and what materials did you use to prepare?...

  2. Would you do it all over again?

    yrmajesty3 replied to emttonurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    NP is the way to go. It's more flexible than PAs if that is the priority. If $$ is the priority, then PA maybe better depending on the specialty. In my ever so humble opinion and experience, MD is...

  3. The problem with nursing

    yrmajesty3 replied to passionflower's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    I've read these posts with great interest. I have decided last year that I will NOT work a 12 hour shift ever again unless it's for myself. I've also decided that I WON"T be muscled out of nursing...

  4. Foot care training

    yrmajesty3 replied to kernow's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Dynamique, We are still struggling with price. A home visit will definitely have to go for a minimum of $55-$75 (consider gas prices/travel time/insurance). Don't know how we'll handle a clinic...

  5. Non Nursing job suggestions needed for former OB RN

    yrmajesty3 replied to GrooveeBabee's topic in Retired Nurses

    If you don't care to renew your license, consider delivering non-medical home care for the senior population. I have friends who are NOT nurses or healthcare workers, but have developed a VERY...

    Hello Dynamique, The Eau Claire campus of University of Wisconsin has a course....I know that they still have openings. I cancelled my registration recently in order to attend the much closer Emory...

    yrmajesty3 replied to kernow's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Heartsome, You didn't mention what you thought of the conference. Was it a valuable learning experience? I am wondering if could offer me more info than what I've done already ( shadowing a...

    yrmajesty3 replied to kernow's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Thanks for the info Rosebudd. Flockone, I did indeed cancel my Eau Claire class. Looking for something closer....trying to find one on the East Coast. In the meantime, I've been reviewing the MUSC...

  10. Foot care training

    yrmajesty3 replied to kernow's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    For Flockone.... I'm in Southeast Pennsylvania. I'd be flying out of Philly or Allentown. While I'm registered for this class, I am second guessing my decision. The site is very inconvenient to the...

    yrmajesty3 replied to kernow's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Hi Woogy, Can you tell me a little more about Dr. Overstreet? I am curious to know if her presentations and DVD's would prepare one for the CFCN exam in your opinion( do you plan to get certified?)?...

  14. Foot care training

    yrmajesty3 replied to kernow's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Hi Reenieday, I personally have put the idea back on the backburner. As an ADN(with 15 yrs experience), I still can't qualify to sit for most of the wound care courses and exams because they require...

  15. What do you consider to be nursing's biggest setback?

    yrmajesty3 replied to almost30's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Interesting you bring up that angle. With my extensive pediatric vent/trach/g-tfeed/foley-cath/ IV experience, I'd expect to get paid at least a higher agency rate for complex care than the RN...

  16. Philadelphia VA hospital salary quote, is this right?

    yrmajesty3 replied to vikichck's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Just curious....Is a BSN required for the VA system or are ADN's

  17. What do you consider to be nursing's biggest setback?

    yrmajesty3 replied to almost30's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Biggest set-back??? How about the actual lack of hands-on care ( that seems to be the job of an assistant now)! My unconscious mother -in-law sat in an premier hospital's ICU for 3 days. We were at...

  18. Foot care training

    yrmajesty3 replied to kernow's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    I just checked out that web site. It seems a little scant on information. Do you know anything about the creators of the program and its curricula? Given the cost, I'd expect a little more detail...

    yrmajesty3 replied to nursemarie's topic in Private Duty

    Hello Ladies, I've been reading with great interest as I contemplate registering with an agency while between jobs. It sounds as though NY state is very organized and open about this process. I...

    yrmajesty3 replied to jpearsonrn's topic in Wound, Ostomy, Continence

    Hi DRW.RN, I decided to hold off on this course for a bit. I am pursuing a position in a per diem position at a LTC facility as well as a nursing agency that provides a wound care service. Both...

    yrmajesty3 replied to jpearsonrn's topic in Wound, Ostomy, Continence

    Hi LisaMarie, Wondering how you liked the WCEI course. Im thinking about attending in Feb in the Philly area. Did your place of employment pay for the course? ( it's a bit pricey...I'd be paying out...

  22. How much pay per visit or salary?

    yrmajesty3 replied to BChapp3182's topic in Wound, Ostomy, Continence

    WAY TOO LOW......but it is true about the insurance reimbursement. I work as a trach/vent nurse in home care agencies and hospitals. Home Care insurance coverage is notoriously low. I get paid the...

  23. Would you marry a Doctor?

    yrmajesty3 replied to fleurafor's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    While working in a large teaching hospital as a new nurse, I witnessed more residents and docs (married) chasing after nurses rather than the other way around as some here have suggested. I...

  24. Comfort Food After a L o n g Shift

    yrmajesty3 replied to EMSnut45's topic in General Nursing

    I needed pasta after a 12 hour shift. Usually spaghetti with a quickly made fresh tomato sauce with lots of garlic. It used to drive my parents crazy to be smelling those food aromas at 7:30 in the...
