  1. Getting the right kind of experience for nurse education

    TanyaBRN posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Hi there. I an RN with 2 1/2 years experience in group homes and homecare. I really really want to advance my career and am considering going back to school for nursing education and becoming a...

  2. New Grad in Home Health

    TanyaBRN replied to pemoRN's topic in Home Health

    You can get refreshers on a lot of skills just by searching YouTube. I did that when I wanted to show my husband what a wound vac was, and there is lots more on there that I haven't watched

  3. Plz read!!! Nurse using drugs what should i do???

    TanyaBRN replied to J-Star's topic in General Nursing

    What people do in their personal lives is NOYB, I agree. But if a nurse was spending time in the supply closet having oral sex instead of taking care of patients, then it becomes your business. The...

  4. How many of you became a CNM without L&D?

    TanyaBRN replied to BabyLady's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I suppose most OBGYNs don't work as L&D nurses before finishing their education...then again they also go to school

  5. Plz read!!! Nurse using drugs what should i do???

    TanyaBRN replied to J-Star's topic in General Nursing

    You've gotten a lot of good feedback already, but I want to answer the question of "is it wrong to do nothing." It is my impression that you are still in nursing school (sorry if I am...

  6. Ominous physical symptoms

    TanyaBRN replied to catlvr's topic in General Nursing

    I think the worst symptom in my mind is apathy. If a patient doesn't care about their health anymore they are most likely not long for this world. All of the above are manageable but they require the...

  7. Pt from Psych unit knew everyone in my community!

    TanyaBRN replied to 2126's topic in General Nursing

    I think from a professional standpoint I would have found a polite way to end the conversation and found a different patient to talk to. People dealing with mental illness often become overly attached...

  8. Let it snow !

    TanyaBRN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    You guys should try home care in Minnesota. It rocks. Really. Gravel roads with 6 inches of snow and 10 feet visibility, not to mention I drive a pontiac sunfire. Staying home is not an option when...

  9. LPN and RN-What does this mean?

    TanyaBRN replied to handyrn's topic in General Nursing

    I think people put it on here just so other users know their educational/work history. You wouldn't put it on your nametag at work,

    TanyaBRN replied to Little_Babycatcher's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Thanks guys that is so encouraging you have no

  11. Need some ideas

    TanyaBRN replied to mustlovepoodles's topic in General Nursing

    You could also look into if there are any group homes in your area that offer respite care where he could stay for a few weeks until his hip heals. Does he have a county case manager? They should be...

  12. Frontier school of midwifery?

    TanyaBRN posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Any midwives out there who did the online program from Frontier School of Midwifery? Have you found it more difficult to get a job after doing an online program? Was it difficult to find a preceptor...

  13. The Lack Of Teamwork Is Astounding!

    TanyaBRN replied to gt4everpn's topic in General Nursing

    I think this is a chronic problem in both long term care and homecare. I have never worked in a hospital but I hear that there is much more teamwork there, probably by necessity. I am quitting my...

  14. Need some ideas

    TanyaBRN replied to mustlovepoodles's topic in General Nursing

    I get the feeling with a disabled child you're probably a pretty light sleeper as it

  15. Need some ideas

    TanyaBRN replied to mustlovepoodles's topic in General Nursing

    You've gotten lots of good advice so far. There are some alternatives to restraints you may want to consider that you can buy from a medical supplier. A pressure alarm to go under his mattress on his...

  16. Frontier School of Midwifery - Class of 82...anyone with me?

    TanyaBRN replied to Little_Babycatcher's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    What kind of experience did you guys have before applying to Frontier? I have 2 years in group homes and 6 months of homecare, nothing even a little related to midwifery but I SO BADLY want to be a...

  17. Getting the right kind of experience for nurse education

    TanyaBRN replied to TanyaBRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Wow, never really thought about that...probably basic nursing theory and some adult health stuff, the stuff I know the best. I just remember all of my nursing profs had hospital experience, except...

  18. Question regarding medicine administration

    TanyaBRN replied to Nissan350z's topic in General Nursing

    Once you start your clinical experience have the nurses in the hospital show you whatever system you use. Having a daily worksheet helps, I played around with using a few different ones in nursing...

  19. What do your hands say about you?

    TanyaBRN replied to AltaEnfermera's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a Home Care nurse so they would probably think I drive a snowplow or

  20. How many of you became a CNM without L&D?

    TanyaBRN replied to BabyLady's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Thanks for asking this, I was wondering the same thing myself. Has anyone ever met a midwife who never worked as an RN in the hospital? I am wondering about transitioning from a family practice or OB...

  21. Clinic vs. hospital nursing?

    TanyaBRN posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Hello, wondering if anyone has any advice on working in a clinic vs a hospital for a RN looking to go to grad school in the next few years. I have been a nurse for 2 1/2 years. I worked 2 years in a...

  22. Where to start?

    TanyaBRN replied to Cilantrophobe's topic in Nursing Career

    I don't know what state you live in but a lot of new graduate nurses (BSN and ADN alike) are having trouble finding hospital jobs, because the hospitals are hurting for money and don't want to pay to...

  23. New RN can't find a job!!!!!

    TanyaBRN replied to ajitamamasita's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Non hospital jobs are really the only option without experience right now. It sucks, I know, but the economy has to turn around sometime. I know some states are better than others, have you considered...
