Hey guys, Can someone share some tips on how to perform an assessment in the patient's home? My first visit was a lady who had her grown up kids there, and there was no place for us to talk privately, she didn't want to show her messy bedroom. Even if the family member would step out, can you examine her on the chair? Can we skip genitalia examination (if no diagnosis involved)? I am a little scared to miss something, but my agency seem to be laid back about it ( i guess cause its my license that would be targeted, right) Anyway, i am newbie, please enlighten me)

What kind of bag do you use? backpack? any particular brand?

Guys, any advice for the newly hired homecare nurse? Im going to cover Brooklyn and Queens. My agency pays 60/initial and 55/recurrent, i am very grateful to have any job because i just got my license, however, loans, rent, daycare and other bills have to be paid, would appreciate any input)

Hey guys, I am not sure if you should say "First score", NCSBN site says it will be double-checked, so the same score will be checked for possible system errors, but the estimate score is calculated right away....not sure why I need to post this, maybe to calm my own nerves ? Good luck to all!

Mariana, did you pass? whats happened? my readiness test had 65% as well

well that was exactly what i needed being burned out from studying and super anxious! thanks!

As far as transferring credits for BSN program, it is true that some colleges wont accept ASA credits. But some still do, Chamberlan, St. Francis, Hunter etc. I am surprised hearing about rude staff. I have just graduated the program and i found a lot of professors to be very pleasant, and accommodating, so are the students. I think people will treat you the same way you treating them. Regarding prices, it is not a cheap school, the only reason i chose it over others in 2013, was absence of waiting list and low bar for NLN passing score. However, i think right now situation is changing as more people want to get in into the program. Would i have chosen ASA if i had more time on my hands and different life situation, perhaps not, but having graduated in less than 2 years, with good clinical experience and seeing the possibilities for future growth, i think ASA has worked for me and i am very grateful for that.
