WHAT AREA OF PUBLIC NURSING DO YOU WORK? 3. DID/DOES AN EPIDEMIOLOGICAL BACKGROUND HELP WITH YOUR WORK? 4. DO YOU GO OUT INTO THE FIELD OR DO YOU WORK IN AN OFFICE? 5. DO YOU LIKE YOUR JOB? 6. WHERE DO YOU WORK? 7. JOB TITLE? 8. WHAT DO YOU SPEND MOST OF YOUR DAY DOING? 9. DO YOU USE THE SKILLS YOU LEARNED IN NURSING SCHOOL AT YOUR CURRENT JOB? Thank you for your time!! and if possible, please tell me anything else you think would be fun/relevant for a future public health nurse.

I am a nursing student and need to ask a PUBLIC HEALTH NURSE some questions. Please let me interview you... 1. WHY DID/ WHAT MADE YOU CHOOSE PUBLIC HEALTH NURSING? 2.

Anaris, my name is tom. I am a LVN going to school for BSN. I would like to interview you as a public nurse. I am interested in going into public nursing. Please hit me back so I may ask you some questions (Interview). I am not selling anything this is just an interview for school project. Please!!! [email protected]

Thank you for your post. Nursing IS my passion. I can't wait to start the BSN program because I can't wait to FINISH IT!! Sure the school costs as much as a house, sure there will be problems, and sure there will be disgruntled students and teachers along the way (I will probably be one of them), but I feel I have no choice. I need to reach my goal and I chose this route. It may not be the best way to go but is the way I decided to go. Thanks again and good luck with you.

omg. thank you for all of that. I will keep it in mind.

Thank you. I just was called by the representative at the school telling me that my schedule has just been emailed to me. Just in the nick of time, don't you think. Thanks again.

WEST COAST UNIVERSITY-ONTARIO BSN Is there anyone out there who is going to start this program this coming Monday, February 1st, 2010? No one from the school has told me what the schedule is yet. We start the BSN nursing program in 4 days and I do not know what to tell my employer. Is there anyone out there who is going and knows the schedule?

Hey rex3838 did you work and go to wcu at the same time? I am in the same boat you were in. I am the same age, lvn, and NEED my bsn. Tuitiok is staggering but what can I do? I can't hang out waiting to get into cc classes then nursing program.

Question: I work for hospice. I am no stranger to the MSO4 and Ativan Cocktail. It seems to be prescribed to all of my termanilly ill pts. Usually it is 0.5mg to 1.0mg q4h to q1h and always PRN. Here is my question after reading your posts: Once I go to work at bedside, I notice in the MAR that all the nurses before me gave these PRN meds regularly and consistently. Many times, after several hours with my patient, I do not see signs or symptoms of pain, SOB, agitation, anxiety, etc. so I hold the PRN pain and anxiety drugs. Am I being overly conservative with these meds? Am I setting these patients (and their other caregivers/family/nurses) up for a horrible breakthrough pain comeback? I have experienced positive results by holding these meds before. I do not want to "dope" my patients but I also need them to be pain free. What says you?

I hope this message goes to Leslie :-D. Do you work for hospice? I have some questions regarding meds, family dynamics and such. I just sent you a friend request. If you allow me to, I would like to pick your brain every now and then. I seem to always have questions re: my brand new LVN in hospice career. Thanks in advance, squeekymc
