    New Yorker Patients

    HH_RN13 replied to Adrian32's topic in New York Nursing

    Looks like the OP skipped the Cultural diversity and sensitivity courses in nursing school. FYI you can have rude people

    odd case

    HH_RN13 replied to KATRN78's topic in Private Duty

    That is just ridiculous. I work for home health and while some patients do forget to offer you to sit down, most are very nice. If I had to sit on the floor while taking care of someone I would not be...

    Breastfeeding/pumping and 1st yr nursing school

    HH_RN13 replied to chwcbesteph's topic in General Students

    I was in the exact same situation as you. My baby was 3 months old when I started. Yes the right to pump is there, but first semester was so overwhelming and busy that I could not find the time for...

    Lets talk about $$$

    HH_RN13 replied to russki1313's topic in Home Health

    Los Angeles, ca Depends on the type of visit. Starts at 55$ for follow up and up to 105$ for initial assessment with oasis. No benefits, there are a few sick days per year available but I'm not sure...

    I got my first job!!! But I am worried...

    HH_RN13 replied to Bunny99's topic in Home Health

    Do you mind saying what area you will be covering? And did you accept the job? I am going through the training this week and starting seeing my own patients next week. I get paid per visit as well, so...

    Test failure

    HH_RN13 replied to FutureNurse114's topic in General Students

    It would help to know what class you are having a problem with. I had studied by reading and rereading the material right before

    How do you get to sleep?

    HH_RN13 replied to eva123's topic in General Students

    Not the best method at all, but after having my daughter and heading to nursing school when she was 3 months old I had major sleep issues. I've tried everything I could and eventually I agreed to try...

    Do I reapply for a new ATT if I failed the NCLEX-RN the first time

    HH_RN13 replied to maxilove's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    No, your att is good for the length of time it states on the letter. You do have to go to Pearsonvue and register again and pay the fee to schedule another

    HH_RN13 replied to Bunny99's topic in Home Health

    Thanks! :-) I am a bit nervous going out on my own, but my employer seems very nice and willing to train and prepare me for whatever the cases might

    I got my first job!!! But I am worried...

    HH_RN13 replied to Bunny99's topic in Home Health

    I wish I could get a job some place else, but these days in CA it's next to impossible! And I needed income :-) I do agree that experience would be a good thing to have for home health. Unfortunately,...

    I got my first job!!! But I am worried...

    HH_RN13 replied to Bunny99's topic in Home Health

    Yea I meant health, dental, vision. Those would fall under benefits. Some employers cover 50% some do 100%. My employer doesn't offer that at all saying that it balances out since she pays more per...

    I got my first job!!! But I am worried...

    HH_RN13 replied to Bunny99's topic in Home Health

    Thanks! I got lucky :-) hopefully your employer at least provides good benefits because with that pay it would be hard to buy your own

    I got my first job!!! But I am worried...

    HH_RN13 replied to Bunny99's topic in Home Health

    That seems very low. I'm in LA area and just got a job in home health as a new grad as well. I will be getting paid per visit ranging from 45$-100$. I can take on 3-5 patients a day. Are they covering...

    New Nursing Student: Should I spoil myself with an electronic BP cuff?

    HH_RN13 replied to Amcanarn's topic in General Students

    In my school we were not allowed to purchase electronic bp, only manual. We were tested on manual only. Anyone can do a bp measurement with electronic bp. Save yourself some money and buy a manual one...

    No one will hire me...

    HH_RN13 replied to TheWalkingDeadNurse's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think the most important thing for you right now would be to take control of your health and then you will succeed with finding a job that you will be able to keep. Also, have you tried to contact...

    So far so good.

    HH_RN13 replied to iroberts2's topic in General Students

    Ahh that's what I was saying after my first semester which I managed to finish with a 4.0. However, every semester after that has gotten harder - much harder! In my 3rd semester we have lost about 20...

    Young, Thin, and Cute New Hires

    HH_RN13 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So I've been reading all the posts, and all I can say is where are those places that hire young, thin, and cute?? I'd love to get a job there!! On a serious note though, from personal experience it's...

    Question on chest tubes!

    HH_RN13 replied to nathaliav's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    From my understanding they would have one going to the upper chest to remove air and one for lower chest to remove drainage since air rises and blood/drainage goes

    BSN vs RN-BSN degree for CRNA school

    HH_RN13 replied to RNtobe15's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Not a CRNA yet, but have done my fair share of research. It does not matter. What matters is the gpa you will have, your experience in the required setting (icu for most schools) and shadowing a CRNA...

    Strategy vs content review

    HH_RN13 replied to Katniss88's topic in General Students

    When I was preparing for nclex I thought my weak point was some of the content simply because it's been some time since I had my psych or gero or or ob rotations. For that purpose I went with Saunders...
