  1. BHS: BA/BS in Health Science in Community Health?

    xEdgexRNx posted a topic in Public, Community Health

    Hi! I have my ADN and want to go into Public/Community health. It doesn't necessarily have to be in the nursing field, but I would love to do more of a health education type of thing. I saw that a...

  2. ADN + BA Psych = Good Combo?

    xEdgexRNx replied to xEdgexRNx's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Thanks for the advice! What's strange is that Elementary stats needs more pre-reqs than Psych stats. And, what's even MORE frustrating is that each school requires a different stats. Ugh. So much...

    xEdgexRNx posted a topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Hi! I have my ADN and need to get a bachelors (where I live, you can't get a job ANYWHERE in any field without some kind of BA degree). I've always been interested in psychology, so would my ADN + BA...

    How difficult was psych stats? Math scares the stuffing out of me! Would elementary stats or psych stats be

    What are some community health programs you suggest I check in to? This field is foreign to me! Thanks so

  8. ADN + BA Psych = Good Combo?

    xEdgexRNx replied to xEdgexRNx's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    That really makes me sad that the job prospects for health educators are slim-to-none. :-( It's my dream to do that... nursing is not what I thought it was, for I wanted to do more direct patient...

  9. ADN + BA Psych = Good Combo?

    xEdgexRNx replied to xEdgexRNx's topic in Nursing Career

    jjjoy: I do not like acute care. I would love to work in public health, especially with a focus on teaching. Mental health is also of interest, but not as much as teaching about nutrition, exercise,...

  10. ADN + BA Psych = Good Combo?

    xEdgexRNx replied to xEdgexRNx's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    What about getting a Bachelors in Community Health with a concentration in Health Promotion Education in the Community Setting? A college nearby has this degree... I'm hoping it would lead to a career...

  11. ADN + BA Psych = Good Combo?

    xEdgexRNx replied to xEdgexRNx's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I saw that a school in my area has a BA in Health Sciences with a Community health Education track. Would this enable me to do more of the teaching-side of health care? Would I need an advanced...

  13. ADN + BA Psych = Good Combo?

    xEdgexRNx replied to xEdgexRNx's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    So a BA in psych won't allow me to do anything, even OUTSIDE of nursing? Why does this degree even exist, then, besides acting as a segway to grad school? There seems to be such a debate about what...

  14. Typical Day For A Home Health Nurse | Life of a Nurse

    xEdgexRNx replied to hoolahan's topic in Home Health

    Do visiting Home Health RNs have on-call hours? What are the typical shift hours (start to finish)? Do you work past your shift

  15. ADN + BA Psych = Good Combo?

    xEdgexRNx replied to xEdgexRNx's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Thanks for the tips! I was interested in Public Health, but I'm not sure exactly what kinds/types of jobs/careers are available and what the market is for this field. What does one do with a MPH or...

  16. Frustrated and considering a career change

    xEdgexRNx posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I thought nursing was to be more than simply a career choice; it felt like my calling. After having several close family members and friends battle cancer and other serious illnesses (and being their...

    xEdgexRNx replied to xEdgexRNx's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure why this thread turned into a personal attack on me. To the people who offered caring advice and a compassionate ear, thank you. Your patients are lucky to have such kind and empathetic...

  20. Frustrated and considering a career change

    xEdgexRNx replied to xEdgexRNx's topic in General Nursing

    Very true. I'm just afraid that the same thing will happen as did with nursing: that I will have built up this image of teaching in my mind, yet when I actually start my career, I will be sorely...

  21. Frustrated and considering a career change

    xEdgexRNx replied to xEdgexRNx's topic in General Nursing

    Thank u for the support... I must admit, I am quite taken aback by the rude and hurtful responses I am getting by some of the nurses here. Perhaps they are taking my original post as a criticism to...

  22. Frustrated and considering a career change

    xEdgexRNx replied to xEdgexRNx's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, that's rather harsh. Perhaps my confidence is extremely low d/t the fact that I've gotten laid-off twice since graduation. Perhaps my perceptions of nursing is wrong----the job is not at all...

  23. Frustrated and considering a career change

    xEdgexRNx replied to xEdgexRNx's topic in General Nursing

    Even nursing homes aren't hiring. Isn't it sad that THIS is what nursing has morphed into? Florence is probably rolling in her grave! I did not go into this field to treat my pts like this.... yet...

    xEdgexRNx posted a topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Hi! After being laid-off twice since graduating last year, I finally got a job offer from Fresenius as an Acute Care Traveling Apheresis RN (I'll cover 74 hosp in a 75 mi radius). This job sounds...

    xEdgexRNx replied to xEdgexRNx's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology
