  1. New grad in HH $20/visit no mileage.... is this right?

    bubblejet50 replied to vn-rn's topic in Home Health

    bubblejet50 replied to Starfish, RN's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    Wow 20 would have been awesome! When I was a new grad LPN I.would have 30-35 residents depending on census. When I was a medication nurse I would have up to 50 residents on my cart to get done in 2...

  3. how to gain experience

    bubblejet50 posted a topic in Emergency

    bubblejet50 replied to kittycorpus's topic in Ob/Gyn

    bubblejet50 replied to meghan91's topic in General Students

    Invest in the stethoscope. I have a Littman Cardiology III and LOVED it. I could hear so much with it but it runs anywhere from $100-200 depending on where you look for it. I never had to buy a BP...

    bubblejet50 replied to SaraMC's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are there any CNA classes that you can get taken in 2 weeks? My class was 4 weeks and met like 2-3 times a week (it was about 4 year ago now). I know our community colleges offer a 2 weeks CNA class....

  10. Is this too much?

    bubblejet50 replied to shannonyocum's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Micro isn't bad. AP does take a lot of time. I thought micro made sense while in lecture and lab was super easy just took a long time when we did staining. I got A's in Micro and AP 1 and 2. I took...

    bubblejet50 replied to petem35's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  14. Help Help HELP!!!!

    bubblejet50 replied to badgirlsclub's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't like NCLEX prioritization because it is not how I would prioritize in the real world. Now delegating. I don't know if you worked as a CNA or LPN before but that's how I always remembered it....

  15. Need some input, NCLEX next Tuesday 7/31/12

    bubblejet50 replied to blynn9173's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I didn't study at all. I am a firm believer that if you don't know it by now you won't. My fellow classmates did 150-300 questions a day up until the test day. I know a few who would get psyched out...

  16. Not even a word of English

    bubblejet50 replied to MomRN0913's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I know a very small amount of Spanish and most of it is irrelevant to nursing. I used to teach swim lessons and one session I had a three year old who was deaf and only read lips in Spanish and did...

    bubblejet50 replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

  19. what to do ? Where to study?

    bubblejet50 replied to Ms.Gaby's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Well you will need to do some clinical aspect to obtain a nursing degree. You cannot do this online. I just got my RN degree and will be finishing my BSN online. This is a common approach. I had over...

  21. Common Misconceptions of myself as a Nurse Aides/Medication Aides

    bubblejet50 replied to miabia's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I started out as a CNA, now a RN, and I have to say the worst thing a nurse can do is **** off their CNA/MA. It will cause them to not communicate and not want to do anything extra so when the nurse...
