   iSurvivor replied to SaraTayRN's topic in Home Health

   Do you have a keyboard for your iPad? I've learned to chart VERY little in the home, just enough to jog my memory for when I get home to complete the note.

   Love Kinnser. I've seen the Mckesson format and it was extremely confusing.

7. Patient complaint-freaking out!

   iSurvivor replied to CrazierThanYou's topic in General Nursing

   Reason # 523 why I don't work in a hospital. Patients and their families treat it as a 5-star resort. Ultimately, every dissatisfaction falls on the nurse's shoulder. "I've never had a complaint against me in the 5 years I've been a nurse but the ho...

   iSurvivor replied to iPink's topic in General Nursing

   At one point, I worked for 4 different home health agencies. I got two $25 visa giftcards, a $15 Starbucks giftcard, and a cute keychain with "nursing" type charms on it.

9. My coworker was high and got away with it

   iSurvivor replied to Volley88's topic in General Nursing

   I think OP is pulling our leg. This must be a joke. What I get from his/her post is how "4/20" doesn't affect one's performance or thought process. Anyone else?

12. why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

    iSurvivor replied to murseforever's topic in Relations

    I get it. Your points are valid from a legal standpoint. I was referring to RN, LPN's, etc that find it personally offensive outside of work ethic. This seems more of concern for the facilities which hire such individuals.

13. why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

    iSurvivor replied to murseforever's topic in Relations

    Not sure why this bugs people. I don't care if an MA, CNA, PCA, etc calls themself a nurse. At the end of the day, they don't receive the same pay nor work under the same scope of nursing practice.

14. To Go for DNP or Not?

    iSurvivor replied to 2016BSNGraduate's topic in Doctoral

    BSN-DNP program 3 ½ yrs at fulltime. Assuming you won't be working simultaneously or only PT, you should be eligible for finaid, scholarships, work loans. Total program cost estimate $50k at the school I'll be attending. I estimate (hope!) to pay le...
