Inpatient case management in Massachusetts is 100k plus, same for utilization review.

This is a new law and I believe it goes into effect April 1st. I’m very nervous as I see so many risks.

Hi, can anyone tell me if this is legal. I work in Home Health. A case manager, Monday thru Friday 7 to 430. We are short handed and don't have an on call night nurse right now. So we, the day nurses, are forced to take the call shifts. So this means...

No, I do mon thru Fri, 730 to 430. Then the couple on call shifts each week. Just hate it! And when we have a bad night on call we still have to do our shift the next day. Ugg.

Mostly the hospice patients with issues or death pronouncements. I rarely will go out for regular home care patients.

:ancong!: very happy for you!!!!

No diabetes, no lupus, but yes on the infection control. Good luck!!!

I used Kaplan, scored high 50's low 60's on their tests and passed NCLEX in 75 questions. Kaplan was great IMO.

ok, I dont know if there is any way to make anyone feel better while they wait for the results.... BUT.... I took my test last week, I had 2 math questions that I had no idea how to do, so we will assume I got those wrong, I had meds I never heard of...

So I have been applying as a new grad RN for a few months and I have had a few interviews... but no offers. They all say that they are only hiring 5 or 1 or 2 new grads.... whats the deal?????? This is mostly west of Worcester, and I have read that B...

This was my killer... "You have 2 patients in need of care, which would you see first?" I said "the pt that was the least stable" Her: "They are both exactly the same and critical." Me: "they are both critical?, Then I would ask another nurse to assi...

Thanks for the responses... Moving out of state is sooo not an option for me with 2 kids and an ex husband that wouldnt allow us to go too far. Good luck everyone!!

Hi, did anyone apply to the new grad intern program here? I had an interview and they said they would call by the end of April with a decision. Its May , I still have not heard back yet. The interview was 3 hrs long, with 3 different people. I though...

I interviewed for the ICU. What about you? Did you accept? I was really hoping to hear so I will know if I am going to take my boards in Nh or Ma since I am right on the border.... Now I'm depressed. Jeeze... Well good luck to you!!

Final exam in 18 hours, 23 minutes and 24,23,22 seconds :balloons: Pinning May 13th Graduation May 15th WHHOOOOOO!!!!! :clpty: :onbch:

In our rotation we spent 6 weeks in a state hospital. We were assigned 1 pt and had to do tests with them like the mini mental and others. We also had to attend groups with them, attend the inhouse court, rounds and come up with a teaching project fo...

Hi, I am looking for suggestions on what to get my mom for graduation. I know its my graduation, but I have moved myself and my kids into her basement so that I could get through school. She has helped me with the kids like you wouldnt believe, from ...

I wish I could, but we are only allowed to have an RN pin us, which she is not. What a great idea though. Thanks.

Vicks vapor rub, either under my nose or wierd but on my shoulder, then I just turn my head and sniff and take a deep breath. But as everyone else stated, you'll get used to it.

My 6yo daughter fell at school on the playground and scraped her knee. She was sent to the nurse and the nurse squatted down and said "awww you have a boo-boo", my dd said "Nooooo, I have an abrasion". She got such a kick out of it and when she told ...

I saw one girl cheat all the time, ya know, big hooded sweatshirt that has to "go to the bathroom" during the test. I didnt turn her in, I would just rather see her fail the boards because you cant cheat on that!! Dont let others make you feel bad ab...

Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone that had to take ATI testing in school found the testing to be a good indicator for how well they did on the NCLEX? I took my last ATI today, the big comprehensive one and I got an 80. It said that I had a 98% c...

Thanks to all who replied. I of course still plan to study, I actually do about 100 questions a day!!! Augh.... My poor kids thought it would get easier when school was over, hahaha

I dont go there either, but also wanted to say CONGRATS!!!! :cheers:

I agree with Gauge, memorize the lab values now. It is so hard to memorize a whole set of electrolyte values when you have everything else to study. We all struggled with fluids and electrolyte in our class, you can get a book and work on that and w...
