I worked nights as a private duty nurse. The good thing about nights is that the parents are sleeping most of your shift. You have a lot less interaction with the family. The hardest thing about home care is family dynamics in my opinion.

I graduated 3 years ago. I worked part-time in an assisted living facility while in school. I wish I would have gotten a job in a hospital as an aide while in school. I think it would really help prepare you. I would go for a job as an aide or clerk in the area you want to work in as a nurse. In my unit a couple of our aides are in nursing school right now and they have a bunch of nurses around to ask question and show them procedures we are doing so they get so much more experience than most students. you would also have an in when you graduate.

Southern MN, $5.50 an hour.

I've used both Epic and Cerner. Epic was a lot easier to learn and a lot easier to navigate through in my opinion. With Cerner I loved the task list though, everything you needed to chart on would be on one list so you wouldn't miss documenting something.
