    I took their BSN online program, graduated in 2013, loved it so much I have continued there for my MSN. I took 2 classes per 8 week session. Definitely doable, I worked full time and have 4 school aged children. Sometimes laundry didn't get done on t...
  4. Homebound Status

  10. Coenzyme Q10 through G tube

    Market America sells a liquid coenzyme Q10 that is meant to be taken as a drink, not sticky like regular liquid. Feel free to inbox me if you are interested in finding out how to order.
  11. Helpful Apps for Home Health

    I use Epocrates which is a drug/disease reference tool and has a great med interaction feature which I love. I use it on my iphone and it is so much easier than carrying a drug book in my bag all the time.

    Skin prep is often used to protect heels from becoming boggy or when heels have already developed unstageable eschar (thick black scab) to allow heels to heal from the inside without disturbing scab and thus creating a wound. It may be a pain to app...
