  1. Gwynedd Mercy Fall 2015 BSN

    PhillyRNtoBe replied to Mommyoffive's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I'm scheduled to register for classes on May 12 and there is a info session before that. I wonder if we get more detail then or if that's just a general school info session? Did you register

  2. Getting cold feet! Thoughts on ACEN vs CCNE?

    PhillyRNtoBe replied to PhillyRNtoBe's topic in General Students

    Well that makes sense. I really appreciate your response. Getting ready for finals and we are all in panic mode over here. As soon as I tell people I want to pursue a Masters after I get the BSN I...

  3. Getting cold feet! Thoughts on ACEN vs CCNE?

    PhillyRNtoBe posted a topic in General Students

    I was accepted to a BSN program that is ONLY ACEN accredited. I need to know if anyone had issues getting into any Masters or Doctorate level PMHNP program with a BSN program that is NOT CCNE...

  4. Is this normal? Am I over reacting or just new with nerves? New HHA on Hospice case

    PhillyRNtoBe replied to PhillyRNtoBe's topic in Home Health

    It's strange because it's the opposite where I live, there is no type of certification needed to be a HHA, some places have a little class they offer before they have you go out on cases but being an...

    PhillyRNtoBe posted a topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I officially accepted and will be transferring to GMU's BSN program in Fall 2015! Wondering if there are any other transfers out there with me? Excitement is kicking in, I still have yet to register...

  7. Gwynedd Mercy (transfer) BSN Fall 2015

    PhillyRNtoBe replied to PhillyRNtoBe's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Really, a letter? Financial Aid is the one thing I was on top of from the beginning, lol. I emailed them the last document they needed Friday but I will call again to be sure it's officially complete....

  8. Gwynedd Mercy (transfer) BSN Fall 2015

    PhillyRNtoBe replied to PhillyRNtoBe's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Update: I just looked at the email they sent again. They have May 12 listed for another registration day. I might go to that or make an appointment to go sooner. I'm still taking Microbiology and...

  10. New grads and Home Health -placed on Vent Cases

    PhillyRNtoBe replied to ShannonShidler's topic in Private Duty

    Now I'm getting confused. Haha! Can you please enlighten those of us who work for Home Health Agencies (per diem 2, 4, 8hr+ shifts per case) the differences between the two? Also the OP is...

  11. Is this normal? Am I over reacting or just new with nerves? New HHA on Hospice case

    PhillyRNtoBe replied to PhillyRNtoBe's topic in Home Health

    Thank you for your response! That makes me feel better. I like that you added not to bad mouth other aides, this is so true. Its important for the client's family to trust everyone involved with...

  12. Gwynedd Mercy University

    PhillyRNtoBe replied to ChrisBeckham's topic in School, College Programs

    Which program did you apply to exactly? Accelerated, Traditional BSN etc? I don't remember seeing anything about a part time nursing program. I thought LaSalle was the only one to offer that for BSN...

  13. New grads and Home Health -placed on Vent Cases

    PhillyRNtoBe replied to ShannonShidler's topic in Private Duty

    I'm a newly certified CNA working as a Home Health Aide for 1 month. I recently had an incident where I feel I was taken advantage of by my agency. There were several call outs by regularly scheduled...

  14. Gwynedd Mercy University

    PhillyRNtoBe replied to ChrisBeckham's topic in School, College Programs

    So happy to hear. I was accepted as a transfer for Fall 15 but waiting to hear from a few other programs. I'm trying to get as much feedback about the nursing program as possible. Thank

  15. Is this normal? Am I over reacting or just new with nerves? New HHA on Hospice case

    PhillyRNtoBe replied to PhillyRNtoBe's topic in Home Health

    Thanks for the information! Yes, they had a hospice folder on the table with the triage nurse line number. My office told me its a general number, (I'm assuming to the hospital) that would then...

  16. Is this normal? Am I over reacting or just new with nerves? New HHA on Hospice case

    PhillyRNtoBe replied to PhillyRNtoBe's topic in Home Health

    Thanks! Yes, after yesterday I realized that they are not the lifeline they were promised to be in orientation that's for sure! They are too busy and just don't have the time to

  17. Is this normal? Am I over reacting or just new with nerves? New HHA on Hospice case

    PhillyRNtoBe replied to PhillyRNtoBe's topic in Home Health

    Why thank you! I got myself into that mess so I had to ride it out. I'm a tough Philly chick, I've seen worse, lol. I just don't like feeling as if I'm lost without a clue. I can handle being out of...

  18. Is this actually a HIPAA violation?

    PhillyRNtoBe replied to Anonymous6578's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Just curious was the ER a part of the clinical site that you were attending? Maybe I missed it somewhere else in the thread but I don't remember reading if the clinical site was also the same hospital...

  19. Is this normal? Am I over reacting or just new with nerves? New HHA on Hospice case

    PhillyRNtoBe replied to PhillyRNtoBe's topic in Home Health

    Thank you! The Hospice Aide asked me how long I have worked for the company. I told her I am brand new and that I was just certified a week ago, I also told her I am a pre-nursing student so I'm eager...

  20. Is this normal? Am I over reacting or just new with nerves? New HHA on Hospice case

    PhillyRNtoBe replied to PhillyRNtoBe's topic in Home Health

    Thank you! I knew something was not right about it. I left out the part where the scheduler called me back AGAIN because the over night girl called out as well. Really, BOTH the regular aides called...

  21. How to prove nurse looked up my medical record

    PhillyRNtoBe replied to Marmolada's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Yes, I thought that as well. Maybe the husband put her ( his friend) in this position and that is why he is acting like he needs to diffuse the situation instead of defend his

  22. Searching for a go-at-your-own pace online Anatomy & Physiology I plus lab course

    PhillyRNtoBe replied to karbs's topic in General Students

    I honestly think that most schools will not allow online core science prereqs. Every program I know (that can actually lead to getting a job) once you are done school will not accept online science...

  23. About to lose my mind! Help me!! Pre nursing student in the Charlotte, NC Metro area

    PhillyRNtoBe replied to dnllprtt's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in my mid 30's taking Microbiology now. It's the last class I need. Do not take micro until you had chemistry and Anatomy. Micro is just too much with those classes. Also the key is you must get...

  24. How to prove nurse looked up my medical record

    PhillyRNtoBe replied to Marmolada's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Good for you. It seems like what you want is for her to admit it to your husband at a minimum. Have that one last conversation with her. Tell her you feel uncomfortable with her interfering with your...

  25. How to prove nurse looked up my medical record

    PhillyRNtoBe replied to Marmolada's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Unless she is referring to an account that some major healthcare systems have for patients. For example "MyPennMedicine" for University Of Pennsylvania patients. You create an account and you as the...
