    HisTreasure replied to Tangerine.atl's topic in Chamberlain College

    Paperwork I just signed says they offer an interest-bearing loan but doesn't list

    HisTreasure replied to Tangerine.atl's topic in Chamberlain College

    Congrats!!! Hope you get

  3. CNA as School Nurse?

    HisTreasure replied to JustADream's topic in School

    I am not sure about what state that is, but LPNs can be, and are school nurses in some places. LPNs are licensed to give medications, do wound care, and document. In schools without a nurse (only...

  4. Chamberlain College of Nursing in Atlanta, GA

    HisTreasure replied to Tangerine.atl's topic in Chamberlain College

    I was deemed academically eligible on Tuesday! I may have to take a remedial math, which was a bit unexpected but then again, it has been 9 years since I've sat in a math class and a little refresher...

  5. Love my fellow nurses!

    HisTreasure posted a topic in Private Duty

    Alright, so I was sitting in a care meeting for a potential foster placement. The current foster home is closing- errr, moving agencies might be a little more politically correct- and the county wants...

  6. Most shocking thing you've seen another nurse do?

    HisTreasure replied to SuzieVN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    May not the most shocking, but definitely one of the most irritating: I was working agency and witnessed the other floor nurse going into her narc drawer, snapping the Lortab out of the card and...

  7. Mom has problems getting the right DME

    HisTreasure replied to PerfectlyPlump's topic in Private Duty

    Has she ever received a full, correct order? Do you have a copy of the orders, or can you request one? Perhaps if you ask the DME to fax over a copy of what they have on file as the standing order you...

  8. Spouses have no idea what it takes!

    HisTreasure replied to ArrowRN's topic in General Students

    While I can't relate completely, I do want to applaud your dedication to both your education and your family. You're a standup guy! I've been with my husband 13 years. We have 4 children together,...

  9. Chamberlain College of Nursing in Atlanta, GA

    HisTreasure replied to Tangerine.atl's topic in Chamberlain College

    I don't know how I'm going to finance it, but I'm walking by faith. Paying out of pocket really isn't an option right now. Took my placement tests today. Hope it's not in vain because committee...

  10. certified LPN considering CNA/PCT/ or MA instead

    HisTreasure replied to notyetnurse's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You *should* be able to apply as a PCT at a hospital as an LPN, and while MAs do have phlebotomy and EKG out of school- those are very trainable skills and I learned those along with becoming IV...

  11. Can't believe I'm a nursing student again...

    HisTreasure replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Students

    I did consider the options. Unfortunately, my options for a traditional, non-private school are limited. Life and a failed back surgery in the past has gotten in the way of my success as a student so...

  12. Can't believe I'm a nursing student again...

    HisTreasure posted a topic in General Students

    I really didn't see myself being here again. I was almost done with my LPN-RN bridge and had to stop due to a back injury. Life, kids, foster care, church obligations, and moving away from my home...

  13. Can't believe I'm a nursing student again...

    HisTreasure replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Students

    Thank you so much!!! I am getting psyched. Please keep me in your prayers. This just feels right. NURSE

  14. Can I handle working/LPN school?

    HisTreasure replied to chacha82's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    In our class about half of the students worked. Some were on a "scholarship" that paid all their expenses (I went to a tuition-free school, but did not cover books, uniforms, etc), and in return they...

  15. Does this sound wrong to you?

    HisTreasure replied to CloudySue's topic in Private Duty

    I've had this conversation with the nurses in my home, and with other "special needs" moms. The consensus seems to be that the moms feel the nurse is there for the one client. The rest of the home is...

  16. Chamberlain College of Nursing in Atlanta, GA

    HisTreasure replied to Tangerine.atl's topic in Chamberlain College

    I applied for the May term. I am so excited. I am working on the financial aid stuff now and I go for my HESI in April. Now I have to read this whole thread to see what to

  17. March 2013 Caption Contest: Win $100!

    HisTreasure replied to Joe V's topic in News, Announcements

    Look at the bright side, Jim. We can now hide from the annoying family members in the linen closets. We'll blend right in, like

  18. Working in unpleasant conditions

    HisTreasure replied to CloudySue's topic in Private Duty

    I had a case where the boyfriend and the mom argued allll the time. Uncomfortably so; once I pulled up to the police being there (having been called by the prior nurse!) It was a ranch style home and...

  19. Sleeping Nurse = No Agency?

    HisTreasure replied to HisTreasure's topic in Private Duty

    YES! ^^This. I have worked to optimize the conditions to be condusive for work and sleep. I do have a unique perspective because I have worked PDN nights and I've been on shift in homes where it's...

  20. Sleeping Nurse = No Agency?

    HisTreasure replied to HisTreasure's topic in Private Duty

    Thank you for your reply! (Everyone else too!) We don't have the camera for the nurses, we have the video baby monitors because all of the foster children placed with us are MWO (maximum watchful...

  21. Do your families give you anything for the holidays?

    HisTreasure replied to CloudySue's topic in Private Duty

    I admit, sometimes I can be overly sensitive so I did re-evaluate the conversation after Gemma woke up and she went back into the room to do cares. It made me feel uncomfortable. We have a lady come...

  22. Do your families give you anything for the holidays?

    HisTreasure replied to CloudySue's topic in Private Duty

    I'm not working as a PDN currently, but we have PDNs in the home. We gave our nurses iTunes/App Store and Racetrack gift cards. They weren't much ($25/$25 split) so total $50 worth of gifts in a card...

  23. Oral intubation kiddos in a home setting?

    HisTreasure replied to dirtyhippiegirl's topic in Private Duty

    I've worked with a patient on a NIV 24/7, who I think probably should've had a trach, but the mask was the same (or very similar) to a CPAP mask. There was no artificial airway and I don't see how an...

  24. The perfect private duty setting

    HisTreasure posted a topic in Private Duty

    I am a prior PDN on the flip side of the coin with a medically fragile foster child. He is vent dependent at night and when napping. Trach, TPN dependent right now due to a recent gut shutdown...

  25. One case only or a whole bunch of them?

    HisTreasure replied to CloudySue's topic in Private Duty

    I would hate that! I've met 7 nurses over the past weekend for our foster son and I have to tell ya, I really don't want to meet another anytime soon. I've picked 4 for my core team and 2 as backups...
