Oh ok. I read the question wrong..I was always under the impression that the child was older so the part about the delivery went over my head. Dont know how I came about that conclusion. Ok thank you.

omg you are a life saver, i have been struggling with this question for weeks! lol and made the change and voila! can you explain to me how the HCP delivers the infant first?

don't think so

This is what it says: When a health care provider reports an infant to a county agency, the law requires the agency to take these actions: •Ensure the safety of the child immediately •See the child within 48 hours of receipt of the report •Contact the parents of the child within 24 hours of receipt of the report •Provide necessary services for the childWhen a health care provider reports an infant to a county agency, the law requires the agency to take these actions: •Ensure the safety of the child immediately •See the child within 48 hours of receipt of the report •Contact the parents of the child within 24 hours of receipt of the report •Provide necessary services for the child So I thought the order was: Health care provider reports to county agency immediately Health care provider delivers an infant with a fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. County agency ensures child is safe immediately. County agency contacts parents, sees child, and provides services within time frames set by law.

OMG I am attempting to finish my powerpoint but can't seem to get past these answers: Please help: Review: Mandatory Reporting Process for Infants Exposed to Drugs or Alcohol Directions: Place the steps in this situation in the correct order: Directions: Place the steps in this situation in the correct order Health care provider reports to county agency immediately. County agency contacts parents, sees child, and provides services within time frames set by law. Health care provider delivers an infant with a fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. County agency ensures child is safe immediately. I am this close to banging my head against the wall, can someone please help me get these answers, I would really appreciate it!

I would love to do prn but u have to b employed for 6 months prior to requesting status change. Don't think Tue less than friendly hr will even grant that to me.

hello all, i have a little dilemma. i am currently entering my final year in nursing with graduation date of december '13 and found a job as a cna at a local hospital to set my foot in the door so that i can have a job once i graduate. well, im quickly realizing that this part time job is going to put a strain on my studies. basically the days i am not in school are the days i will be working 8 hours. i figured make it work by using any opportunity to study as much as i can and stick with the heavy schedule but last semester i didn't have a job and i still struggled with the work load. im comtiplating, finishing up my summer job and when class restart in september, i will drop the job. im afraid however because in this economy, employers dont want to hire inexperienced nurses and being a cna, lpn or pca is the best way to get a job after school. should i stick it out for 4 months when school starts or go ahead and leave the job and attempt to reapply as a nurse once i graduate? can i even do that or would HR laugh at me? thank u all

one of my issues with the degree is that in the real world, NP and PA are somewhat interchangeable, meaning that most job listing ask for either or. then why force NP to be educated at a doctorate level's and somehow still compete with master's prepared PA's? Unless the DNP puts NPs at a preferred hires, it serves no significant purpose in the real clinical world. now someone who runs their own business, or seek to become an expert in their nursing field can and should pursue the DNP; it may prove beneficial as it adds credentials. other than that, forget it.

i thought as a cna u had to work under a RN license?

I was let go a few days ago becauce i went to hR with a letter documenting my being bullied by the senior cnas. A week ago, the DON met with me to discuss my performance review. I had a really low score due to my preceptors reporting me for no reason other than to sabotage my work. I told her it was retaliation and explained to her that I had been bullied for quite some time. She said she would investigate and gather info from my work from other sources. I then drafted a letter (to document in writing what was going) and gave it to HR and the DON. well, a few days ago, HR and the DON called me into office, asked me to explain to them exactly what was going on and then terminated my assignment anyway. As a matter of fact, seems like they weren't interested in resolving the situation they just decided that it was more trouble than it was worth so they let me go. bummer but i can't help to feel like i was done so wrong. I live in a at will state and i was on a probationary period but what are my recourse still?

bump, can anyone answer the poster aove me, i would like to know the same info. thanks

hi, i am very interested in ur resume for entry level cna. can you send me one? i can't pm you for some reason.

I'm unclear about whether or not it is necessary to declare a major and follow through. i read that some of you just take the needed course and then up and go without graduating from CC, but when I spoke to my advisor she stirred me towards declaring a premed major that would keep me in school for 2 years and will award me a A.S that I will not use to seek employment. I already have a BS and don't really care for an associate degree so I was asking how you all went about it.

I'm sorry ladies, I'm still confused on how you all do it.

Hi, I am planning on taking my science prerequisites at a local community college. They want me to select a major and I have chosen Premed/Biology since it had most of the courses I needed. Is it how it's done? You chose a major, transfer the classes you can from your BS and then take the courses. That would mean that if I pass everything I will have a A.S. Did you guys enroll as something else? I just want to make sure I'm doing this the right way. Thanks!

Hi all, I am in the process of taking my prereqs for either a BSN or MSN. I already have a bachelor in accounting. Now I know that to get into any nursing program, advisors prefer experience. I will be starting a home health aid course next month and will be train for free by a company that would like to hire me. I know the general preference out there is for CNAs or higher, but is HHA looked down upon by admission commitees? Do they consider it real nursing work?

I agree, I have a great disdain for MD just because of that. I love customer service and am very compassionate and patient, always willing to help and answer all that is asked. That's one of the reason why i believe I will make an exceptional NP or PA. I really want to work with the underpriviledge, not sure about rural but definitely poor and underserved. I'm glad to know that there is a demand and I guarantee most of it has to do with people tiring of MD and they're lack of respect for patients.

Hi all, I want to ask, browsing these forums puts a real damper on things. So many nurses unable to find work and the ones that do, end up working for CNA pay. In my state of jersey you can forget it, the schools are pumping out LPN and ADN left and right. But i plan on actually going for my NP or PA, is there a need there? I would still do it even if there is no shortage because I just love it, but what is the market like for NP and PA vs RN? Thanks!

yea, I finally got through and will have to retake the course. good thing is I can take it for free again.

well, thank you to you both. I guess I will get my prereqs then. It's funny how some schools only list a few prereqs like Mircobio, A&P as if you can just walk in a college, take them in a few semesters and leave. They don't tell you that these prereqs have their own prereqs.

Hi, I took a free cna class in 2007, however I was hired by another company and did non health related work from 2007 till now. I would like to go into nursing and would like to know if it's possible for me to go take the exam without retaking the course. I am attempting to call my bon (nj) and no one is answering:mad:

Hi all, I have been browsing these forums for quite some time now since I am making a career change into nursing. I need some advise because I am confused as to what steps would be better for me to take as I pursue my career. Ok, I live in North NJ and am interested in getting my BSN. I already have another nonnursing related degree and will be seeking an accelerated BSN program. I currently do not have any science prerequisites such as chemistry, anthropolgy, biology, microbiology and others. I know that I will have to get them before I apply to a program. Now here's my dilemma. I currently live at home and my parents don't mind supporting me for a bit as I pursue this degree. (my goal is to become a NP or PA) However, I want to be able to get into the workforce as soon as possible. I have two options so far: Option1: Spend 1 year taking prerequisites (work as CHHA or CNA) Go to LPN school (don't work) Apply for A- BSN or Option 2: Go to LPN school (don't work) Spend 1 yr taking prerequisites (work as lpn) Apply for A-BSN Option 2 will allow me to work as an lpn while I do my prerequisites and support myself, my only fear is that reading this forum has me discouraged since so many LPN aren't able to secure jobs, the other downside of option 2 is burnout and finances (20000 to go to eastwick college for LPN program). i am leaning towards option 2 but My parents recommend option 1. What do you guys think is most realistic? oh and anyone knows if credits for Eastwick Hohokus schools are transferable? Thank you all.
