I was just curious if anyone had had any experiences with L&D nurses doing home visits (pre-delivery or post partum)? I absolutely LOVE my job as an L&D nurse but not getting my hours due to low patient census. I would love to be able to do o...

Any suggestions for a person who is just at the beginning of possibly establishing a home health care agency (I am looking into opening an agency that serves pregnant patients and does initial post partum/newborn visits)? Any opinions on hiring a hom...

I am an L&D/well baby RN who is looking at possibly opening up a home health care agency in my area that provides home care visits to pregnant mothers and post partum mothers/newborns. There are no such home services provided in this area of Ariz...

LOL - I know. I was curious to the know the name of the HHA you work for to see if you have a website or FB page at all. I am really interested in trying to educate myself on what other agencies offer.... :) Thanks for your input! :)

salvadordolly - I have started to become quite "educated" on the start up costs (LOL). May I ask what HHA is that your boss owns? We don't have any "competition" (yet) at this time..... :)

jkat276 - I have been informed that many insurance companies (even state funded insurance companies) do indeed cover antepartum and post partum home visits as they feel it assists in good teaching and preventative care. I have no interest in being a ...

Thanks everyone for your great advice! :0)

I am a new grad that will be starting a fulltime L&D position next weekend - working nights. I worked nights for a very short time at a nursing home years ago. I hated the lack of sleep and the "zombie" feeling I had every day. Can I please get s...

I graduated from nursing school a few weeks ago and I am scheduled to take a HURST 4 day Live Review next week. Would like to hear from others who have taken the Hurst Live Review - I understand that the review doesn't cover pharmacology, is that cor...

Sunrise TX - for myself, I didn't have the discipline to sit and watch the all the videos and complete the fill in's in the Hurst book - especially with 2 kids home on on summer vacation. I totally recommend the 4 day Live review. You are also given ...

gcat626 - I felt Hurst fully prepared me for the NCLEX. I took the NCLEX 1 week after I did the Hurst live review. I reviewed my Hurst book a few times and did the 750 practice questions - that was all I did to prepare for NCLEX. The majority of my c...

Thanks everyone for your encouragement! I passed the NCLEX and just accepted a position as a Labor & Delivery nurse today! :0)

Thanks to all of you for the great information!! :0) It really helps (and sets my mind at ease a bit that I am on the "right path" of studying)..... I have been doing the Hurst online review the last couple of days and will start my LIVE review on T...

Yes- I understand I have to prepare on my own, hence, that was why I asked the question. I would like to hear from someone who has taken the review on what areas they suggest I spend more time on studying that is only briefly gone over or absent from...

THE ERI NET Test Study Guide book is what I found the most helpful in studying for the NET. It has many practice tests in the book that will really help......

I think it is great! I currently have 4 men in my nursing class. You can tell all of them will be great nurses (one of them is even a pharmacist who decided to pursue his RN degree to be able to broaden his opportunities when he graduates)......

Just take each day as it comes. If you look at the full picture, it sometimes becomes a bit overwhelming... Hang in there! Your almost DONE with 3rd semester..... Congrats..... :-)

You and I sound a lot alike!! As much as I say I want to "relax", I'm sure I'll be busy preparing, organizing, and reading many of the posts on this website to try to prepare myself as much as I can for what "lies ahead"! Good luck to you....... :onb...

I'm taking Microbiology (last co-requisite class I have) and an online Cultural Anthropology class (elective towards BSN program after graduating AS program). I then have 2 1/2 weeks off before Nursing 1 starts for me in August. I have been told by m...

Just got my letter of acceptance for Fall '09 at Mohave Community College!! WOOOO HOOOOO!!!:clpty::clpty:

I know for my school and many more, reading and math are the only two areas on the test that are calculated into your final composite score. The learning style and stress level profile sections is just informational, it is not part of the score...

If it were me, I would take my NET test into the nursing dept. at my school and have them go over your results with you. At least you will then understand how they "weight" the scores. I can't figure out any other way they could score a test like tha...

Who did you call, ERI? Or did you call the nursing department at your school???

Let us know when you find out!! Good Luck......:wink2:
