MSN or CCM
You don't necessarily need either to get into CM. On your resume/application, highlight your experiences with pt education, health coaching, care coordination, and collaboration with different members of the Tx team. You can tell a prospective employer that you are preparing for/planning to work toward CCM. Best wishes!!!!

Leaving Nursing for Another Career
Case Management might be a good fit for you. SW doesn't pay well, and options are limited. A nurse CM role though will incorporate your training and experience and you'll have normal hours and good pay. Best wishes 😀

How old is too old to become a new RN?
I think you should fulfill this goal. It sounds like it has always been in your heart and mind. Nursing is a 2nd profession for me and I was in my 30s in nursing school but in my class there were 2 ladies older than you. I even worked with a nurse who was in her 70s and the best smartest most capable nurse I ever worked with!! Best of luck to you !

New Grad Home Health
Good luck! I totally understand. I stayed in ltc for the required year and it has just about ended my desire to be in nursing...until I QUIT for a hh job which I haven't started yet! I was going to suggest that if you stayed in your ltc job that you keep documentation of everything; notes for yourself. As you said, the environment you have been working in risks your license and the company is bigger than us little nurses! Good move. I hope you like hh!!

OB Clinicals
thanks for the input, everyone; its interesting how schools do it so differently. I am not panicking anymore but I will attempt to avoid that exam; from what I'm learning, in our text, it could be dangerous if you're not "a skilled practitioner" ......maybe the same could be said for a foley though or IV.....so hopefully it will be uneventful and a memory soon.....!!!!!!!!!

I appreciate your responses; I'm really anxious about it and I don't want to do it after school. I was very assertive in my other clinicals but this one; not feeling that way! I hope mine turns out to be observational mostly too. Thanks again! A.:nuke:

Hello everyone I was wondering if it is the norm for students to do exams during L&D; I had read somewhere, maybe on this site, that most schools do not allow students to do this as you really have to be trained/experienced/etc. to not possibly cause damage. My studies in the text indicate something similar. What do you think? Thankyou and I hope everyone is doing well.

thanks for this opportunity: 1. to some of my fellow students: thank you for being easy to work with and fun to learn with. now for the frustrating getting it off my chest stuff: 2. i will never again share a project to 'compare' a 'vague' assignment...do your own work. 3. it is so wonderful that you work in a hospital as a tech or assistant or whatever but you are not my teacher ..for whom i have paid a lot of money to listen to; not you. 4. do you really think it is wise to let yourself take rx relaxers on occasion or have a drink before a test when you are a nursing student? i will keep up with where you work and will not let you ever take care of me or someone i care about. i know its stressful, but buy some ice creame or go swimming. 5. buy your own books and use them from time to time. 6. yes we are a 'close group' but i paid my own tuition and my grades come in my name: every single thing is not a x@#! group project. i admit i've been in a bad mood today, frustrated with new classes already; but it feels great to say these things that you can't really say.... great idea thanks
