Hi. I have been an HH nurse for almost one year, but I must improve my documentation skills. Suppose there are nurses who can give me guidelines on regular SN notes. I think I got OASIS down, LOL. Any help is appreciated! I appreciate any help you ca...

you'll do fine :) I have to say, give yourself 3 months, and you'll be walking down the hall like you've beeen there forever! first month might be hectic, and everyday will be a learning experience for you.

Hi SBRN12, I am one of many many many RNs with interest in aesthetic nursing... came across your post just today. I know its been months since you've posted this note, but I was just wondering where you are now. Have you found your dream nursing care...

I've been in the traditional nursing field all my nursing career... and recently, my interest in medspa/ aesthetic nursing just SPARKED!!! I've started looking into schools/courses that provide training in injectables and lasers. But they are quit...

Hi GypseyGirl, thanks for updating your current status, about quitting the med spa. but I just wanted to ask you, since I am actually looking INTO changing my nursing career into the field of aesthetic nursing!!! "Not all med spas are the same way ...

our agency has over 7000 patients, still doing old school paper charting too! nothing for the field nurses is computerized.

yup, i've been in your shoes too! I've been in home health (started as new grad) for 1 yr 6 months... and still i find myself looking up BASIC stuff... like first semester nursing school lol! but its all about brushing up and keep learning, right? es...

Theres a difference in home care and home health. I was a new grad hired for a home health agency, and now I've been doing this for 1 year and 6 months. It wasn't a smooth ride, but I am proud I stuck to this. Cuz so many times, I felt like quitting....

I work in LA, drive about 20miles give or take. How about everyone else? where do they live?

I'm totally against it! I think keeping the professional/personal social life boundary is important. Could it possibly lead to be a HIPAA violation?

Dear Home Health nurses, I've been in the home health field for a over a year, and recently started home Prolastin infusion. I accompanied my supervisor for the first time, but only stayed with her for the medication preparation.... and agh are ther...

those questions you asked are very good, because like the other nurses are telling you, vary by agency. I'm in the field, and yes it is very flexible. but like you mentioned, very low pay. that's one of the reasons im looking into a hospital job myse...

you should really consider home health nursing before getting yourself into it. I say this because I started in home health as a new grad over 1 year ago, because it was a RN position that "trained" new grads. but really, not all agencies compensate ...

I have an appointment for 2 interviews for different positions at different hospitals. If I go to both, and they both want to hire me--I would like to weigh both the pros/cons and decide which position I would like to be hired for--would it leave ...

thank you thank you thank you dura_mater!!! this helps.

okay. thanks!

I just graduated in December 2009, and took kaplan course in January with many of my classmates. I was one of the first ones to take the NCLEX in early February. After I found out that I passed a week later, I immediately started applying online to l...

thanks for the info. it helps. i will try to look for that.

I just got a RN license this week, and I'm starting to apply for jobs... I'm wanting a PT job. 1. Do they usually offer orientation programs for new grad employees who are hired as PT? 2. If I decide to work at a hospital/agency where they do not of...

yes I'm from Cali, where everyone seems to be wanting to come for jobs... ugh. but I'm trying to be positive, and will be happy with what anyone has to offer for me.

Wow. I'm just starting to read these post replies. I just got my license last week, applied for 4 positions/hospitals, and I'm getting worried I might not have anywhere to work! I felt like 4 positions was kind of a lot... but I guess not! I just sta...

i was wondering if there was anywhere i can get a list of the new 17th nanda nursing diagnoses?? i have the old one, but i need a new list... i don't want to get a new book just for the sake of getting the new list of diagnoses... i can't seem to fin...

thank you for your quick response. i didn't know that. thank you!!
