    MagsMom replied to Mariesmith's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  3. Higher Paid Nursing Jobs

    MagsMom replied to mbrn1985's topic in Nursing Career

    I work in a system that uses the PCMH model. I am a patient navigator and work closely with clinic care managers. The clinic care managers pay range is between 45k-65k. My role range is 55k-75k. PCMH...

  6. Allowing Corpsman to Become Nurses

    MagsMom replied to Asystole RN's topic in Government, Military

    I think that they should be allowed to take NCLEX-RN exam based on a certain number of years. In addition the military could formalize training to equate to nursing school requirements (in...

    MagsMom replied to MJB2010's topic in Research

    Klone, where are you going to do the Masters program? That sounds interesting! I started out by working in a lab doing when I was in college - when the benchwork went clinical I was the only one...

  8. Any point to a certificate in Clinical Research Management?

    MagsMom replied to cindyloowho's topic in Research

    No I don't think it would be useful. I agree that it would be more beneficial to work in research and then take SOCRA or ACRP. SOCRA, I think, has a history in oncology so it might be more applicable...

  9. Thinking about going back to the hospital

    MagsMom replied to insnurse's topic in General Nursing

    There are some options with less stress - you can try case management or utilization review in the hospital. It will be similar work but your day will be over when you go home. If you live near an...

    In the hospital I work in - informatics specialist are really the nurses who show an aptitude. Very few of them actually have a degree in

  12. need advice

    MagsMom replied to shelly123's topic in General Nursing

    I would just say that it is not working out the way you planned. Short and simple. You need to do what is best for you and your family. It is unfortunate that you are in this siutation but I doubt an...

  13. PhD Public Health

    MagsMom replied to MBARN's topic in Advanced Practice

    A PhD in public health will help get a job in an academic setting - in my opinion, I think your years of experience as an RN count more for job promotion (outside of teaching) compared to a PhD....

  14. Starting Salaries for NP's in Major Cities Across the US

    MagsMom replied to FNP-2-BE's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The NHSC is not cutting back on nurse practitioners - it was a big part of additional funding in the new healthcare affordability act. I heard it from Mary Wakefield who is head of HRSA. This is great...

  15. Dove Apparel Uniforms

    MagsMom replied to Content11's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    We had to have Dove uniform - there actually was NO other place to buy except the website for us. I will have to say that I loved my uniform (we actually just had the tops). They were stain resistant...

  16. Need ADVICE is 4 weeks postpartum too soon to go back to work?!

    MagsMom replied to ladybugme!'s topic in General Nursing

    MagsMom replied to starrys's topic in General Nursing

  19. CNM? Confused...

    MagsMom replied to ambach's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I think how much you miss depends on what kind of practice you have. I know midwives who practice in a large group and their call schedule is better than the OB docs at the same facility. I know some...

  20. Accommodations in nursing school- are they good?

    MagsMom replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    FWIW, med students also get accommodations if they qualify. They also get accommodations on the MCAT and USMLE. So do PA students, OT students, PT students, law student, etc. The idea is to level the...

  23. RNs that have children aging from 2-18 years old

    MagsMom replied to kalin's topic in General Nursing

    One thing that I had to get accustomed (since I am a bit controlling) is the idea of "good enough." Don't think everything is going to be perfect and decide that some things really don't matter that...
