Hey Everyone!!!, I am a new grad RN and I am considering going into home health. Hospital jobs are scarce these days and after filling out countless apps with no prospects of an interview I had to get this show on the road.Moving along I began to app...

Not to be rude I wouldn't have took this case. I have limited vent experience and taking people under the age of

^^^^You sound silly. I'm required to see them every 60days for an assessment and sup visit, these are not skilled clients, and no they are not in a group home they are in their own home with help from my hha's (company's hha) I use to see skilled cl...

Wow this thread has taken a mind of it's own. I have been doing homehealth since september of 2010 (roughly 2 mos now) and I like it.I work with DD clients I see them every 60 days, create their MARS, sipervise the Aides, make sure they do what they...

I accidentally went on a rant excuse me.

Just wanted to add my two cents. Do not let these negative Nancy's discourage you. Yes it is hard to find a new job as a new grad RN, BSN ADN whatever. The key is that it is hard not impossible. You have to do whatever it takes to get the job if you ...

I have a mature look, but some of us are young. Some ppl question how long I have been a nurse because I appear young,I just tell them a while :) and continue business as usual. I wear glasses too so I guess that helps me look mature. Some people wil...

I can not speak from experience but I can for a nurse at my job. I started in ltc lasted 2mos, now I'm doing homehealth. I talked to another RN at my job who started her career in home health (2yrs home health) and successfully went to work in a h...

I landed my first job by applying, seriously there was no rocket science. If i met the requirements I applied. I applied online, I applied in person, I looked on jobsites, the newspaper, talked to friends, family, etc. I even just walked in random...

Yay!!!

You will be pushing a cart as a supervisor if that's what you wanted know. They had given me my first nursing oppurtuinity prn. Where I live it is the best nursing home I encountered, they have supplies, computer systems, a pixis, ok patient load. Bu...

Well I am a RN new grad I work at an ltc of course,I usually work on a subacute rehab floor. I work 7p-7a. From 7-11 Ihave to float to other units I was never oriented to but whatever. From 11p-7a, I have 46 residents, I have to take these ppl bs che...

Hmmmm....I went to UT.....plentiful you say?

I have no idea why people do that. Theses nursing homes are different now, especially a rehab/subacute unit. You will see and learn a lot. So screw those people, it's ridiculous people would wrather be jobless than try a nursing home, you need to try...

Likewise :)

That's a good thing. Don't be picky. I do not like peds or maternity but if the oppurtunity presents itself. I want to be dialysis nurse, radiology nurse, piccline (assist with picc line insertion guess they are associated with radiology) nurse ultim...

Well I have no clue if I replied to this thread or not but I'll reply again. When I applied to hospitals, I put in 5+ apps a day everyday for 30straight days maybe 31. I took my boards in March applied to hospitals around Ohio all may, even the one I...

I tried to hang in the for a couple months but I had to jump ship and I'm never looking back. Or atleast I know what I don't want if I ever pursue ltc again. Money will come if I'm supposed to have it, I'm in a position where I saved a couple mos, w...

Well I'm in NE Ohio and the job market for nurses according to job sites etc, is alright, now for nurses with

Thanks but I quit. It wasn't getting any better and I hated my life. After I put in my 2weeks notice it really started getting unbearable so I just decided to not come back. Maybe I ll have better luck next time if I get a next time.

If you are written up I would say take it as a learning experience. Do not be written up for the same thing twice. I was written up in my first 90days,and was not even aware of my mistake until I was handed the paper to sign. There were fortunately...

I'm not sure if I should leave it off or not bc the people I spoke with some said leave it off some said put it on there.....I knew that this would raise hell and hot water, I was never expecting a reference

^^^Well I learned something new. Do not d/c the iv until you have the new one. Alright makes much sense sorry op for saying d/c it.
