:bowingpur Klinger. ha ha ha ha I love Mash. One of my all time favorite shows.

Me, too!! I have been in a major funk lately but that is going to end soon. In two weeks I will be starting my new DAY job working in Public Health! I get all holidays off and weekends off. My hours are 8-5 with a 1 hour lunch. All I do right now i...

So sweet.

I worked at Fort Defiance which is north of Gallup. I have friends that work in Gallup. Fort Defiance is now run by the "tribe" and is no longer under IHS. Gallup is still under IHS and working there you would still be a federal employee. You will ...

If you're willing to move I would suggest looking into the indian reservations in Northern Arizona and Dakota's. Got to IHS.gov or USAJOBS.gov. I worked on a Navajo reservation for a year and it was an awesome experience. Will go back one day when ...

LucasRN, how long did it take you? I'm considering the MSN in public health. Is it totally online? Any group projects?? (hope not)

Great advice and so true! Good Luck!

Yes, we are doing this. I had to do write mine for the first time recently. I had no clue what I was doing or what they wanted to know. I was given a guideline but it very generic. It focuses a lot on "outcome". What did you implement and what was t...

I'm thinking about taking MDS courses through the AANAC website. I have no experience with MDS and have no idea which program I should start with. 2.0 or 3.0??? (i'm clueless). Which module should I begin with? Thanks

Since my original post I have taken all the required AANAC MDS course and I'm now RAC-CT certified. Currently, I'm taking the rest of the courses to get the C-NE certification. I'm not working ast a MDS co-ordinator, yet. I work for the V.A. (Hospice...

I agree with the previous replies. Flashcards are great!! Good luck :-)

Thrilled that I found this thread. I'm interviewing for a Health Department position this week.

Her Own Catalyst RN, In my opinion, those two are doable together. Congrats on the new baby!

I wish my nursing instructor had done that way back when. We had a student that told every detail of her life. TMI (too much information) on a daily basis. We knew all about her STD's, bowel habits, family's bowel habits, etc, etc. On top of that s...

Awesome!

Wow!! I've heard of such things but never witnessed it in real life. NM caring enough to send you home. Wow..just ...wow.

Congratulations!!!

I made hand written flashcards and I have flashcards on Studystack.com. I will send you the link. I got a B on the Micro exam and I learned something. I carried the flashcards with me everywhere. When I was near a computer I was studying my online ca...

I hope if I'm ever in that resident's situation that someone like you is my nurse. You are a true avocate. I've had to fight for my patients and have strongly considered leaving the nursing profession. The only thing that keeps me going is the love ...

Indian Health Service! I loved it. Go to USAjobs.gov or IHS.gov. For me, it was a wonderful experience. I worked on a Navajo reservation. Will go back one day.

Here is a link to her update from October. https://allnurses.com/hospice-nursing/my-friend-dying-625805.html . It's quite bizarre. Make sure you scroll down.

Warm prune juice and a cup of coffee. Does wonders.

I'm very interested in working case management. There doesn't seem to be a lot of openings in Mississippi. I've checked a couple of insurance company websites and applied to one. Will wait and see.

So true!!
