What do you think is too old to bridge? I am debating the cost, the memory and the body aches. I want to die with RN behind my name on my headstone.

I am Home Health/Hospice Nurse and always wear gloves and whatever I need to prevent getting or giving infection. I would report any nurse to Infection Control who is lazy or sloppy in these guidelines.

Hope you aren't too bored with HH. But remember...It's YOU making the on the spot judgement calls and that takes a great nurse! God Bless...KD

AHHHH.. but WHO PAYS for this? THAT is the problemo...

I am SO GLAD I work for a fanatically HONEST Director!!!

I have 170,000+ miles on the 04 Corolla and it cost me .7 cents/mile and I make up to .58/mile. It depends on where you live. Here in the midwest a 4x4 is needed a lot! My hubbie has a 4x4 if I am desparate...but I love my Toyota and it keeps on pou...

Do a GREAT job...us LPN's are counting on other LPN's to prove their worth! Best Wishes!

I went into HH after 17 years of being home raising kids and running a home based business. It took me a bit getting back up to speed, but it is the best nursing job I ever had! I had to learn new meds and tecniques, but I am a better nurse for gain...

I have long thought this would be an excellent idea, especially for nursing mothers and high risk for pp depression.

We use CPSI. I am very cpu literate and yet this program took me a long time to master because you may answer the same question in many different system assessments. It takes me 30 min if I hand chart and 45-1hour if I use the cpu. I luck out a lo...

Glad you didn't hold back in fear you would be sued! God Bless You!

Tell them next time you know an LPN whose State Board (NY 1974) was 700 Questions and 8 hours long. What ignorant people!!!!

Sweetie, I have been "only an LPN" for 34 years and STILL wish I went on, but choose to raise children instead. I cringe when I have to work with a ADN because there bedside skill is nill, and the head is huge. LOL! I am an EXPERT at the bedside an...

How come you hated workig at Skaggs and where did you live before? Thanks! Karmil

Missouri pay is low, BUT so is the cost of living. You can buy a nice house under 100K and gas right now is $1.45/gal. Weigh the factors. I am from NY and LOVE Missouri.

I have an RN friend in Branson and he told me the pay was terrible. I would love to live near there and the the cost of living is cheap. Check out Skaggs Hospital. It't good size. There are good large hospitals in Springfield (30 min from Branson).

I trained in NY, but the CHALLENGE came when I took a job in a small rural hospital in MO. I learned to be a multi-tasker quickly. I nursed all ages and dealt with all sorts of illness and did OB. Now I am a Home Health/Hospice Nurse in this rural ar...

I am a Home Health/Hospice Nurse in a small rural area, but can drive up to 130 miles a day to see 5 pts. Everybody is related to someone here and the main town is 6,000. I am from NY (LI) and LOVE Missouri!! I have nursed here 30 years. The pay is...

I am looking to go to South Africa. I am an LPN, my daughter is an RN, NICU BSN. We may both be intersted. Keep me post, please.

I am very interested in your education in SA to get your RN and what your job description involves. My daughter lives in SA and I would like to go there and volunteer. I am an LPN. Do you have LPN's in SA? She is married to a SA Dentist and he cann...

I was a new grad Nurse in a psych hospital when it took 8 cops to bring this gal in, in a straight jack (1975). They busted out all her front teeth in the wrestle. She apparently was on LSD and took an ax to her boyfriend in a bar. He introduced him...

NO WAY!! I would join the Armed Services FIRST if I wanted to sign 3 years of my life away. At least then there are long term benefits!!

I am 52.5 years old and have no pre-req's. I have a friend who is 58 and about done. She has been a LPN Neuro trama nurse for years and they bumped her in a buy-out opting for RN's only, despite her 20+ years experience! Now she gets her RN, her hu...

I have a very heavy bag that carries my cpu and supplies. It is on wheels, but I often have to carry it. We are looking into new bags and I would appreciate anyone with a great one to e-mail me photos. Thanks!!

When the SOC RN goes out to assess pt, she has a sheet from our Dept. of ALL the info we have on hand to teach. She quickly circles all the pertaining necessary teaching topics and brings it back to the office. Our NA then gathers the sheets and puts...
