  1. Case Management Interview!!!

    Hi! I'm an RN with a year HH experience. I will have my BSN in June and have recently been asked to interview for my company for a Case Manager position to open up. It's for a rather large company in MA and deals primarily in HH, and LTC. I literally...
  2. Ya I think you have to work at the highest license you hold, unless you just recently obtained that license. When I was a CNA I was given 6 months to find an RN job before the hospital would terminate me, as they said it's a conflict to work with RNs...
  3. Boy/Girl Who Cried WOLF Syndrome

    My daughter is a frequent flyer at her school, and I've told her numerous times to stop going to the school nurse for a "magic cup of water or a hug" and the nurse has even admitted to me "well I do coddle them a lot so they like me". Sure enough she...
  4. Ridiculous NCLEX Wait Times

    MA def doesn't offer a temp license.
  5. Case Management Interview!!!

    Anyone?
  6. Case Management Interview!!!

    Oh and I did research average salaries but would like to hear it from those out there!
  7. Could be pregnant. Gap year?

    How about you be an adult and take a test. A hypothetical pregnancy is just that.
  8. Anyone else a planner nerd?

    Limelife Planners are where it's at! I love mine!!!
  9. Boston RNs

    I live in Quincy
  10. Boston RNs

    I make 29/hour but I work in Weymouth. But I get a Veteran pension as does my husband.
  11. Taking the Teas before completing all required science courses?

    I took the TEAS during A&P 1 and before micro and 2. I suck at science btw (weird I know) but even taking those classes I don't think I would have done any better. I rocked the rest of the exam, so my 45% overall in science wasn't a huge deal.
  12. Military nurse

    Not impossible, but no branch are accepting ADNs, as Bachelor's are required for commissioning.
  13. Military nurse

    But the 1stSgt, unless directly overseeing health care recruiting, doesn't have much to do with it. Not trying to be disrespectful, as I stated previously I was a SNCO as well, but from my experience and research healthcare recruiters have their own ...
  14. Military nurse

    Having a good head on your shoulders (your opinion), as well as research will not adequately contribute to your decision. I was an active duty Marine for 10 years and spent my 21st birthday in Iraq. We are not at war right now (actively), so you need...
  15. UWORLD for NCLEX

    My average with Uworld was 71. I took 12 tests I think and when I sat for my boards I passed first try, 75 questions. I was a very average B-C student and excelled at clinical. Feel free to message me with any questions.
  16. New grad RN-- Is home care good??

    I have been a home health nurse for 6 months, since the week after I passed my boards. In this time, I've gotten trach, vent, g tube, and various other expertise and experience. I get paid more than my classmates, who are all mostly in acute care, lo...
  17. Frustrated by cheaters?

    Trust me, we had a bunch of those in my class. As well as those that "appealed" and got their grades changed (i.e. 63/73 (which is passing)) and guess what? We graduated 7 months ago and they are on their 3rd or 4th nclex attempt....and I've been in ...
  18. Clinical Alone

    I had that exact community health clinical. I was part of a pilot program and I loved it. The independence was awesome and I had a nurse there to check everything I did. Good luck! (Side note, this isn't Quincy College is it?)
  19. Quincy College ASN fulltime day 2016 application

    Army Medic....I just graduated their day program as well and I have to concur with my classmate. Daycare/childcare issues mean absolutely nothing to them. They give you what they want. On the bright side, you are a Veteran yes? 5% of their slots for ...
  20. I paid 200 dollars for pvt

    She quoted me so I got confused. Sorry!
  21. I paid 200 dollars for pvt

    Actually no. I don't regret doing it. I was never charged bc I didn't put in the right info. Gave me the good pop up.
  22. I paid 200 dollars for pvt

    Worked for me, I used am incorrect exp date. I did it to my hearts content bc I knew my exp date was wrong. Everyone in my class that did it and got the good pop up passed....and those that failed, their card was declined
  23. Night Shift Woes...When Do You Sleep On Your Days Off????

    Loving these tips! I just got started on nights and the first week was the worst! Slowly but surely getting used to it and keeping up my fitness as well!
  24. Yep. And ATI counts for 12% of your grade, there's 6 exams, and 4 quizzes. A friend of mine is in the part time (last semester) and asked me to pin her and she was telling me about the new rules the Dean put out.
  25. Our Med surg never went to 330, only 130-145.
