Now that I’m re-reading my previous post, I’m thinking….I should just give up & file for my social security (I’m single). There will be no pension since the majority of Ohio nurses are...
This is exactly how I feel. I’m 64 years old & again looking for a new job, after working PRN for 2 years while caring for my mom in my home! I have 10-15 “electronic” resumes &...
Hi HillieRN - I totally understand your concern! I was the first, full-time, on call nurse hired with a not-for-profit agency, with a census in the 50's. No rules, no boundaries, no back up, etc....
Hi Stella - I am looking at my score report right now. There are 150 questions total, however only 135 of them are actually scored. There are 15 pretest items for future tests that are not included...

Hi Nursecheryl - Thanks for the congrats. I am really glad to have it behind me. I think a lot of hospice agencies are starting to require certification within a certain period of time. Not...
Thank you so much, CannondaleRN!! So happy to have that behind me-lol. I have been looking on-line, and have been unable to find any information whether the certification qualifies for any CE's? Do...
Hi Nursecheryl - So happy to report that I PASSED the CHPN exam!! (Thank you, God) I have every faith that you can too, especially since you report feeling better about having studied a little...
Hi CM - I think if you truly want to return to hospice, you can negotiate with them. For new grads (RN's) that may be comparable. However, I wish more credibility would be given once in a while, to...
