    Hello, I recently starting PRN for a home health agency. I have been a nurse for 1.5 years, and all of that time has been NICU. The HH agency I am working for is very small and is just really getting started-I think we have about 5 or 6 RN's now. Any...

  3. Do I REALLY need a BSN?

  13. Best place to work PHS or lovelace job offers at both

    Congrats on getting offers to both! What a luxury in these times to have to choose. I don't have any advice except that I have heard a few times about Pres' good reputation...but, then again, Lovelace is willing to start you out at a higher rate. Goo...
  14. What are the best NICU books you've read?

    Is it "Pediatric Heart Surgery - A ready reference for professionals" by L. Eliot May, PA-C?
  15. Any Good Books to Read Before Nursing School?

    I just finished "Tending Lives" by Echo Heron. I think it has priceless viewpoint on the day in the life of a nurse. It was great! I also highly recommend "The Baby Catcher" by Peggy Vincent if you're interested at all in midwifery. :)
  16. Future student looking for good NMW reads

    I just finished up "Baby Catcher". Awesome book if you want a look into the real lives of home birth midwives! I know some Midwifery schools have it as a required reading before students begin coursework. Good luck!:)

  19. I bet! I have two toddlers at home now, I get a full night's sleep (sometimes), and I'm still exhausted!
  20. It would be nice, definitely, to have someone come stay at our house. So, did you sleep when she went to school, then?
  21. That's a pretty good idea, too...:)
  22. Wow, you are my hero! How do you manage to get any sleep when they're there? I have two 2 yo twins, so I know how it is. :) That is a good idea about taking them to sleep at grandma's those nights.
  23. Hi all, I am taking the HESI A2 for admissions on April 20th. I have been looking around online for a review book to buy, but I don't know which one is best Just thought I'd ask if anyone has suggestions, or if anyone has their book they'd be willin...
  24. I am applying to get into CNM's Nursing program straight from UNM, so I am not yet familiar with how they sort applicants. I heard that they accept those who have been on the waiting list longest (if so, then I'm SCREWED!)...if they go by GPA, tha'd ...
