  1. Shadowing a Hospice Nurse

    mother_matters replied to Runninwoo's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Hi Runninwoo. What part of the country are you in? I would recommend contacting local hospices in your area and explain exactly what you told us to see if they would let you shadow with one of their...

  2. CHPN certification

    mother_matters replied to Elle23's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I also took the test two weeks ago and passed (phew!). I agree with others who said that you're not sure if you passed or failed when you hit the finish button. The version of the test that I took...

  3. Travel Time

    mother_matters replied to amble26's topic in Home Health

    For my first and last visits of the day, a previous employer would pay me for the mileage that was above and beyond the distance for me to travel from my house to the office (and vice versa). For...

  5. Can an LPN take the CHPN exam?

    mother_matters replied to tscoggan's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    It looks like there is a different certification for LPNs: CHPLN. According to the accreditation site, in order to sit for the CHPLN exam, you need to have an unrestricted practical/vocational...

  6. Ensuring the delivery of high quality care in hospice setting

    mother_matters replied to Ahmedkhan's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Whoa---that's intense! Sounds like you have a great plan. I would also make it a point to emphasize the importance of family centered care. In hospice, I've found that the family members need as...

  7. Marymount Accelerated Fall 2011

    mother_matters replied to Mamz1's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I graduated from the MU accelerated BSN program in May '11 and have a ton of publisher's study guides that I would love to pass on (no charge) to an incoming student. I found these study guides...

  8. Pre nursing vs nursing which one is more difficult?

    mother_matters replied to European's topic in General Students

    Completely agree. I'm prior military (enlisted and officer) and I am really struck by the similarities between nursing school and basic training/officer training. Much like boot camp didn't resemble...

    mother_matters replied to European's topic in General Students

    i'm in my second semester of an accelerated bsn program and the biggest lesson that i've learned so far is not to sacrifice sleep. i have made a serious commitment to getting 7 hours of sleep every...

  10. UMB Spring 2010 Applicants (BSN or CNL)

    mother_matters posted a topic in Maryland Nursing

    After following the Fall '09 thread with great interest, I thought it might be time to start a new thread for the Spring '10 applicants since we're inching closer to the Sep 1 deadline. I have a...

  11. UMB Spring 2010 Applicants (BSN or CNL)

    mother_matters replied to mother_matters's topic in Maryland Nursing

    CNL package arrived in the mail today (and I was one of the ones who was just notified a few days ago). At this point, I'm 99% sure that I'm' going to go with the Accelerated BSN program at Marymount...

    Here is a link for the Med Calc book that was recommended to me (I've also seen this same one for sale at the Baltimore campus and at the Shady Grove bookstore):...

  13. UMB Spring 2010 Applicants (BSN or CNL)

    mother_matters replied to mother_matters's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Just got the call---I've been accepted into the CNL program. Now I have some serious soul searching to do but am grateful to finally have the ball back in my

  14. University of Maryland Spring 2010

    mother_matters replied to RosesArePink's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Thought we could all use some comic relief today (see YouTube link below for Footloose--Nursing School Style). These student nurses have WAY more rhythm than I do---glad that wasn't a prerequisite...

  15. University of Maryland Spring 2010

    mother_matters replied to RosesArePink's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Haha, Grey Lady. There are a few of us on this thread who have training in hand-to-hand combat. Let us know if you would like for us to come and pose as applicants sitting in the audience to ensure...

  16. UMB Spring 2010 Applicants (BSN or CNL)

    mother_matters replied to mother_matters's topic in Maryland Nursing

    This is starting to feel like a really bad boyfriend relationship. I feel so dirty and empty inside every time I check my status on SURFS but I just can't get past the seductive appeal of UMB's...

  17. UMB Spring 2010 Applicants (BSN or CNL)

    mother_matters replied to mother_matters's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Haha---I forced myself to shut down the computer and I treated myself to a lunchtime Bikram yoga class and then some Pho. I'm feeling allot more serene now!

  18. UMB Spring 2010 Applicants (BSN or CNL)

    mother_matters replied to mother_matters's topic in Maryland Nursing

    It was a very, very, very long weekend for those of us who didn't get a CNL call, knowing that others did----especially when status still says Committee Ready, not denied. Seems especially cruel to...

  19. Board of Nursing NCLEX application process

    mother_matters replied to Almost_there09's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Rookie question here from someone who will be starting nursing school in January. What state should you apply for a license in if your nursing school is in a different state than where you live?...

  20. University of Maryland Spring 2010

    mother_matters replied to RosesArePink's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Ya know---I don't think they notified all CNLs either. Seriously---it seems like only 3 or 4 CNLs mentioned that they got calls. I didn't get a call and my status hasn't changed. I'm licking my...

  21. CNL program at University of Maryland

    mother_matters replied to Blondell's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Well, it's 5:00 and I still haven't heard anything. *Sigh* Glad I also applied to a safety school. :) Feeling genuinely happy for those who received acceptances. What an emotional journey this has...

  22. CNL program at University of Maryland

    mother_matters replied to Blondell's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Yay Southernliving---I'm so very happy for you (and not the least bit surprised!!). Another friend who's not on this list just e-mailed me and said she got a CNL acceptance call a few minutes ago as...

  23. CNL program at University of Maryland

    mother_matters replied to Blondell's topic in Maryland Nursing

    It finally occurred to me why I'm so irritated.....they expect absolute perfection from us but then can't be held to the same standard. Here's hoping that the wait ends tomorrow! I've really enjoyed...

    mother_matters replied to Pokytrokyt's topic in Virginia Nursing

    After allot of tossing and turning, I've decided that Marymount is the best fit for me. Such a relief to have this decision finalized! I've created a Facebook group so that we can get to know each...
