    Home health aide as RN student?

    Skips replied to esunada's topic in General Nursing

    Being a home health aide is rewarding. You really get to know your clients well, and can attend to their needs without them asking after awhile. It's enjoyable! I am a home health aide, and I like it....

    Ok, what's the real deal with new grads?

    Skips replied to future nurse1's topic in General Nursing

    If you're not looking to offend, maybe you shouldn't have included the word "morons" in the post. Just a thought.

    I am so confused and need some advice!

    Skips replied to Single_Mom's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! Let me just say that you seem so strong!! 30 years old, 2 kids, on your own since you were 23 with two small children! It sounds like you and your children are making it! But you know, I think...

    What was your first nursing job?

    Skips replied to Idaho Murse's topic in General Nursing

    My husband is an LPN, starting an RN program in June, and his first job as a nurse is home health. He really likes it! He pretty much schedules his own hours, as long as it's convenient for the...

    home health aide certification

    Skips replied to lenabeana's topic in General Nursing

    I am a HHA in Nebraska, and I did not need further training other than on-the-job training for home health. I only needed to be a CNA. I would do what the above poster said to do: call a home health...

    Single Mom and Night Nurse??

    Skips replied to akaRNmle's topic in General Nursing

    I am not a nurse (yet), nor am I a single mother - but I must admit that I agree with the two above posters. Would it really be better for your son to be 4 hours away from his grandmother and father?...

    Why do nurses feel the need to put RN on their license plates?

    Skips replied to 3dayRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've seen a teacher have a teacher type of license plate before. I can't remember what it said, though. I just know it was a teacher.

    What schools can you get into with a 3.6 GPA?

    Skips posted a topic in General Nursing

    Any schools in Omaha, really. I'm really scared I won't make it in to any schools with a 3.6 GPA. I haven't taken microbiology or a&p II yet, so I might raise my GPA by the time I apply to any...

    What schools can you get into with a 3.6 GPA?

    Skips replied to Skips's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for the encouragement! I get so hung up on grades, and the horror stories of having a great GPA and not getting accepted. You made my

    methadone clinic..good 1st job?

    I would take the job, if I were you.

    Ever had a nursing instructor hate you?

    Skips replied to bustthewave's topic in General Students

    It sounds like she's trying to teach you, not belittle you. From the paraphrase of the conversation between the two of you, I see nothing wrong with what she was saying. Perhaps you are stressed out...

    Anyone going into nursing because of an interest in science?

    Skips posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi! I was curious, and I couldn't find any past threads about this. Just a fun question, I suppose! I chose to study pre-nursing because of the biology/microbiology/chemistry of medications behind...

    A&P Advice..?

    Skips replied to jellybean321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't feel badly about a 79. I got an 83 on my first A & P I test, which is very similar. I say good job to you! Once you get the hang of the teacher's style & testing style, you will begin to...

    What does your username mean?

    Mine is a play of words from a Dr. Seuss book called Happy Birthday To You! (: It's from the part that says, "There is no one alive who is youer than

    Fired. Will I ever work again?

    Skips replied to Jack43's topic in General Nursing

    Keep on truckin', Jack. You sound like a great nurse, and you have a good deal of experience to back it up. You will get another job. I wish you all the

    Petite CNA?

    Skips replied to Hopeful1982's topic in General Nursing

    If this helps you any, I am 5'4" and 114 lbs., and it hasn't affected my care. I did my CNA clinical at a no-lift nursing home, though. I could turn residents easily, and help them transfer without a...

    You put way too much thought into that. Don't worry about it. (: If he weren't a doctor, but a fellow nurse or even somebody that didn't work there, would you still have gotten

    Skips replied to LaughingRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would adore to have a new tab for this type of nursing! I am a pre-nursing student, and perhaps this specialty will be something I might want to do someday. Reading about it and bettering my...

    Getting avoided by a nurse...in my own family

    Skips replied to kimbo9's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds to me like she is possibly insecure, and she doesn't want to live up to that. I've encountered it during my life, and it's a very real thing. I'm sorry this is happening to you. You don't...

    CMA posing as nurse...?

    Skips replied to WannaBeNrse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a little confused... so, is it wrong for a nurse to delegate something to a CMA? I thought the RN was higher up on the hierarchy than the CMA. I am not a nurse, so I don't

    Help me find out which nursing position is right for me.

    Skips replied to Vicky Laursen's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm a little confused what you are asking, but your job duties sound like LPN work more than CNA work. I hope this helped!
