  2. Returning to Nursing after a year away

    VegGal posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello. I'm an BSN, RN who's been away from nursing for about a year. I'm unsure of what type of nursing jobs I should apply for. I want to avoid IVs and catheters, etc. (I'm fine with med...

  3. Moving to Nashville

    VegGal replied to dmiranda88's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Hello, my response may be a little late, but I thought I'd respond anyway. I worked in the Nashville area not too long ago and hospitals were paying up to about $40-$45/hr, with some offering sign on...

  4. For anyone considering Capella for an MSN...

    VegGal replied to NotMyProblem MSN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Wow! Congratulations on completing your MSN! While you were waiting the 8 months to begin the Capstone, did you have to pay tuition each 12 weeks or did they put that on hold until you actually...

    VegGal posted a topic in Western Governors University

    Hi, I'm interested in WGU's MSN Leadership. Just wondering if anyone knows if a lot has changed from the old version last year? Also are there any online tests or is everything based on writing...

  7. Do MSN programs have to be approved by your state BON?

    VegGal posted a topic in General Nursing

    I just have a general question that I'm hoping some will have the answer to. Do MSN programs have to be Board of Nursing approved? There are so many programs out there and I can't imagine that our...

  9. Do MSN programs have to be approved by your state BON?

    VegGal replied to VegGal's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you NRSKarenRN. I understand that all nursing programs have to be approved but I'll give you an example. Grand Canyon University's MSN program for example is approved by California but it's not...

  10. What the heck? (fat-shaming at work)

    VegGal replied to HopefulRN4ever's topic in Home Health

    I'm going to keep this short because that's how you should respond to them - short and sweet. I've had to deal with some ignorant comments from former patients' family members, and I've learned to say...

  11. Help With Software

    VegGal replied to Frank Wisniewski's topic in Home Health

    Hi Frank, The nurses are all given 24 hours to get their documentation submitted, and it then shows up in QA. Some follow the rules, and others don't. We say that we submit everything within 72...

    VegGal replied to moomin's topic in Home Health

  13. Help With Software

    VegGal replied to Frank Wisniewski's topic in Home Health

  14. WGU vs Aspen University

    VegGal replied to mswill04's topic in Online Distance Learning

    May I ask why you did not like the MSN program at WGU? Anything you could share would be much appreciated.

  15. schedule

    VegGal replied to Jmg's topic in Home Health

    I think that if you were covering mostly Skilled Nursing and Recert visits vs SOC, then your schedule would be a little more flexible. If you're doing mostly SOCs then it would just depend on what...

    VegGal replied to simba and mufasa's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You've got to me kidding me! You're using MEDIUM as your justification that black people can't be racist? Do you know who writes on Medium? People who are trying to become writers. They write and...

    VegGal replied to LaraHeartsRN's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Hi, I'm sorry I can't help as far as Florida but a friend who started her own HH company in Colorado told me that she joined a number of HH groups on FB and learned through the members there. Not sure...

  22. Covid-19 Vaccine Trials in South Africa: Another Tuskegee? #Black Lives Matter Around the World

    VegGal replied to simba and mufasa's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It has nothing to do with minding caring for others. We can and do care for many even in a capitalist economy. How are our schools, roads, hospitals and other public services funded today? It's from...

  23. I need advice. I work PRN for a Home Health Company who has not been able to make payroll on time twice now. What should I do?

    VegGal replied to guest825264's topic in Home Health

    Why don't you take the agency to small claims

  24. schedule

    VegGal replied to Jmg's topic in Home Health

    VegGal replied to simba and mufasa's topic in Disaster Preparation

    "White dominated capitalism"?? Really? Asia is a capitalist continent. Most Asians are not white. In fact none are. That was an ignorant statement. Also please keep in mind that capitalist principles...
