  4. ReRun: Hesi and NCLEX-RN

    AZMOMO2 replied to Soliloquy's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hummm... I thought the HESI was easier than the NCLEX questions I had been doing. I actually used the Prep-U program, the questions were supposed to get harder the higher you moved through the levels...

    AZMOMO2 posted a topic in Home Health

    As a Homecare LPN who is transitioning to RN now what is your advise? RNs have the option of being salary... that sounds like a good idea, based on a low client census I would get a guaranteed rate...

  6. Should I go salary or stay pay per visit??

    AZMOMO2 replied to AZMOMO2's topic in Home Health

    Thanks... I think that is exactly what I was thinking. I am in a contract negotiation... wondering if I can include a patient load stipulation in it. Who knows, we shall see I guess. Thanks

    AZMOMO2 replied to vdaniels's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Miteacher... FYI.... our Block 4 instructor said Saunders is too easy to study for her tests. I found a few test questions from the Mental Heath and Med/Surg Success Series that they used. They also...

  8. Gateway Community College Block 3 RN GWCC Program

    AZMOMO2 replied to miteacher's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I knew you would catch on and do fine! It's always the first test that gets people. I did not think the final was hard. Although I think Med/Surg was crazy, I want to say there were a lot of...

    AZMOMO2 replied to ro2878's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I don't actually work for either of them... I work for another company altogether... BUT the issues that you spoke of.... are they same here as well. It's the nature of the beast that is Homecare......

  13. The love of home health

    AZMOMO2 replied to Kcorder4's topic in Home Health

    I think its pretty common for this thought process... I mean people think the hospital is the be all end all for nurses. I was going to post about this very topic. I have worked as a Homecare nurse...

  14. Can a NP be charged with patient abandonment??

    AZMOMO2 replied to sschuh's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Long and wordy... but the gist of it is... that if you were not in the middle of caring for someone at the time... ie you had accepted this patients total care and you walked away during it without...

    AZMOMO2 replied to L&D<3's topic in General Nursing

  16. What motivates you to keep going?

    AZMOMO2 replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    Actualizing my dreams motivates me. Seeing the pride in the eyes of my family motivates me. My employer promising me a sizable raise motivates me. Fear motivated me! And I DID

  17. No luck with a new grad job- should I go back to school? Any nurse managers around?

    AZMOMO2 replied to BA_anthropology's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    The big issue is that right now you are not going to be a desirable candidate until after the baby. Why? Because as a new grad you have to have the new grad preceptorship which generally is about 3...

  18. is the lpn program less hard/stressful than the ADN program?

    AZMOMO2 replied to countrygirl1234's topic in LPN to RN

    There is no way that this is a real post. It's every cliche post I have seen on this board rolled into one. Please if you are too dumb for the ADN program then you are too dumb for the LPN program....

  19. Hesi: I Feel Like I Need a Miracle..

    AZMOMO2 replied to Soliloquy's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    I suggest the Prep-U RN 10,000 Lippincott quizzes. They are an adaptive quiz that gets harder as you get higher on their "mastery" leveling system. It will get you to thinking more in the NCLEX and...

  20. Starting the evening LPN program at Gateway Jan 2013?

    AZMOMO2 replied to vdaniels's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I went through the LPN program at Gateway back in 2009. It's pretty tough, fast paced and really prepares you for NCLEX-PN. Yes I worked full-time through Blocks 3 & 4... just took and passed my...

  23. First semester nursing student... at the brink!

    AZMOMO2 replied to abagail1220's topic in General Students

    I'd probably go into teaching Biology instead... no it doesn't really get better. The sad part is many people feel that nursing school did not prepare them for the reality that was actual nursing and...

    AZMOMO2 replied to Liketravln's topic in Arizona Nursing

    AZMOMO2 replied to jennell209's topic in Geriatric, LTC
