  1. Holistic Health Assessment starting 9/23

    danarooo replied to Shara2RN2012's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I'm now starting the last part and it's so old at this point. I like learning, but maybe this class shouldn't be a 5 week but an 8 week without fluff and repetitive assessment questions? I totally...

  2. Holistic Health Assessment starting 9/23

    danarooo replied to Shara2RN2012's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Yep, the due dates are not very workable when you are already a working nurse. I wonder why they picked Thursday of all days? Sundays would have been so much better.

  3. Holistic Health Assessment starting 9/23

    danarooo replied to Shara2RN2012's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Can anyone tell me why the book says a "risk for" diagnosis can be shorter than the "actual" or "readiness for" diagnosis but when we use "risk for" we get dinged on it? I don't remember anything...

  4. Input needed from the more experienced agency nurses please

    danarooo posted a topic in Private Duty

    Alrighty, I'm newer to agency nursing and a "baby RN" as far as time in goes (2.5 yrs). I am working for a Pediatric agency doing PDN. Now I know states have different regulations etc...but in...

  5. Finally landed a job in Hampton Roads

    danarooo replied to ArmstrongLPN's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Not sure about the pay, but congrats on landing a job. I know how hard that can be! It took me forever after graduation (from a different state). The pay is low here, but a job is a job and you will...

  6. Jobs in Virginia Beach area?

    danarooo replied to tashacorinne's topic in Virginia Nursing

    This is my opinion on the possibilities for low pay here. This area has a high Medicaid use, and in Virginia the reimbursement rate is very low for Medicaid services which means companies who...

  7. Could Obamacare cause a shortage in nursing again

    danarooo replied to RescueNinja123's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    100 % agree. Where I am (few hours from DC), I see the results of just this. I moved to this area from a state with great practice acts, clear delineation of practice and high use of nurses to do...

  8. Could Obamacare cause a shortage in nursing again

    danarooo replied to RescueNinja123's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I hope "been there, done that" is right as well. I am finishing my BSN and I have no idea what direction to go precisely because of health care reform. I have so many questions, do I get a DNP?...

  9. When assessment skills go wrong

    danarooo replied to CheesePotato's topic in Nursing Humor

    That is hilarious. It kills me when after working five back to back 12 hour shifts someone who is aware how much I've worked asks me "you ok, you look tired". Ummmm NOOOOO. I AM TIRED, 60 hrs in 5...

  10. New Grad Nurse 757/Hampton Roads, Virginia

    danarooo replied to Bea Bea's topic in Virginia Nursing

    What about home health? Some home health agencies may hire you without acute care experience. Not Maxim, but PSA might. Also look at correctional nursing, the agencies that hold contracts often will...

  11. Jobs in Virginia Beach area?

    danarooo replied to tashacorinne's topic in Virginia Nursing

    The job market here is not great, but I came from Washington State and it was horrible. The other nurses aren't kidding about sticker shock, the wages for an RN in SE Virginia are downright insulting...

  12. Cry baby CNAs

    danarooo replied to DrkCocoMurse215's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We ALL work hard, NONE of us (CNA, LPN, RN) has an easy job by any means. We are meant to be a TEAM. Each member of the TEAM needs to be realistic here. You are paid for the education and hard work...

  13. Georgetown University ONLINE FNP...

    danarooo replied to flower25's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm wondering the exact same! Information would be

  14. College Algebra 08/19

    danarooo replied to twindad85's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I'm so glad I came across this, I'm doing classes at UTA and dropped this class last spring due to my hours at work doubling and lack of time to give college algebra enough study time. I don't...

  15. New nurses wanted.

    danarooo replied to nurseprnRN's topic in General Nursing

    Great article! I think that there are more experienced nurses out there that want to help us newer nurses learn and become seasoned. Yes there are nurses out there that are just plain mean, but that...

  16. Useless degree! At what point do you quit trying?

    danarooo replied to SuburbanGypsy's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I feel your pain. It took me a long time to find a job, and it's not even in a "clinica" area. I looked into volunteering, but any place that I could have had a chance to even be around and meet...

  17. Feeling extremely frustrated :(

    danarooo posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am a new grad, although I graduated Marh of last year. When I graduated we were told to expect it to take 6 months or more to find a job and possibly longer if you have no previous healthcare...

  18. New to Virginia Beach, VA RN

    danarooo posted a topic in Virginia Nursing

    I am new to Virginia Beach and a newer grad with a graduation date of March 2011. I couldn't find anything in the state I previously lived in, other than flu shot nurse during flu season. I can't...

  19. Worst night ever

    danarooo replied to beeker's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. I had a similar instance at the tail end of nursing school. I had a patient that was way over my head and a horrible unsupportive clinical instructor, the nurses on the floor I was on weren't...

  20. did I make a huge life mistake?

    danarooo replied to lovelylilly85's topic in General Nursing

    Even though the job market for nursing is horrible in many places, with your 5 years experience I bet you do find a job. Psych nursing is amazing, and if you can do that then you could handle nursing...

  21. Working RNs and the CNA are to blame for new graduate RN program shortages .

    danarooo replied to murs's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I understand the frustration felt by the op. I am a "new grad" and can't find a job anywhere. I don't blame the odler nurses, I value them because they are here to teach us what we don't...

  22. Input needed!

    danarooo posted a topic in General Nursing

    Ok. I am a newer grad who has done only seasonal flu shot work since graduation in 2011 because I've had a heck of a time finding a job. So, after what feels like forever I get two interviews this...

  23. Input needed!

    danarooo replied to danarooo's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the input. Last night I did my option weighing and decided to give the correctional nurse job a try, however this morning first thing I was informed it was already filled. I did not know...

  24. New to Virginia Beach, VA RN

    danarooo replied to danarooo's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Thank you for the helpful input Amy! I will look into it. I've applied for a few positions with Bon Secours without luck but I'll keep my eye out!!!! Thanks

  25. I'm tired of it!

    danarooo replied to sunnyskies9's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ok I laughed really hard at the "paralysed, sedated orphan" thing. I am going to remember that for
