  1. Hospital CMs - What's the most difficult part of your job?

    fmf13 replied to yessica1831's topic in Case Management

    It depends on your typical workload and environment. At our hospital, we are supposed to handle a case load of 15-20 and do concurrent UR. I love case management, but there are many factors to a...

  2. Can you answer

    fmf13 replied to Imreks2014's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree that you should educate yourself on BRCA mutations. Not only for your learning purposes, but understanding how this could affect you personally, if you are a woman (I never assume gender)....

  3. BSN program hours (for non-RNs)

    fmf13 replied to clf1926's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello! I did an ABSN program and can tell you that it requires a lot of extra work. I know I would go to class sometimes from 8-6 on or 5-8 on other days. Classes are variable and I felt I studied...

  5. OB to Discharge RN...Now What?

    fmf13 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello All! I am a RN with 1.5 years experience in OB postpartum. Recently, during a really (and I mean really) bad low census, my manager decided to send me to another floor to train as a Discharge...

    fmf13 replied to fmf13's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry I have not replied, my account didn't show any new activity. I went ahead and pursued Case Management and enjoyed the few months before I ended up as the hospital's Nurse Navigator due to...

  8. Advice please..NICU VS L&D

    fmf13 replied to rnmm18's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I was a Mother/Baby RN for 1.5 years and I loved it. The only reason I left bedside is because I fell into a different job that I love more. I am not someone who enjoys the ICU, so NICU was something...

  9. WHERE do I begin?!

    fmf13 replied to Allie_G's topic in Case Management

    Honestly, I agree with above poster. I "accidentally" fell into a Case Management position at the facility that I work. It is easier to get hired as an Internal applicant for a job than to try outside...

  10. I'm having doubts about nursing... :(

    fmf13 replied to Texasstudent0's topic in General Students

    I remember that I was paired with a CNA for several days within my rotation. I was humbled at how much they do behind the scenes. I don't understand why we are complaining about something so trivial....

  11. 2 years out of Nursing School. Failed 3 times Help!

    fmf13 replied to Jewelzzz's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I chose Hurst, because they teach the material in a simplified manner. I loved all their teachers and you can rewatch lectures online as well. You can't pass if you don't have the information. I felt...

  12. Accelerated BSN Versus Accelerated MSN - California

    fmf13 replied to siesepuede's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You have to pay for them to have a MSN with no work experience. On top of that, even if they don't pay you for that degree, what was the value of getting that MSN only to be paid the same as a BSN....

  13. 2 years out of Nursing School. Failed 3 times Help!

    fmf13 replied to Jewelzzz's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I know it is expensive, but I did Hurst in a live classroom. After the 3 day class, I studied for 4 hours each day on the materials I learned from Hurst and took weekends off. Two days before, I did...

  14. Accelerated BSN Versus Accelerated MSN - California

    fmf13 replied to siesepuede's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly, this is a very vague question. We do not know anything about your learning ability or work experience to base our opinion for you specifically. That said, I did an accelerated BSN. It was...

  15. Mom suing nurse after suffocation accident

    fmf13 replied to MunoRN's topic in Nursing News

    I am an OB Mother/Baby RN. We do give our C/S moms narcotics 3 day PO, but not all choose to take it. It is very common for moms to still be taking narcotics even after they are discharged. They were...

  17. I have 60 grand of student loan when I finished BSN

    fmf13 replied to Sam. W's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, it isn't just for government agencies, but is also for people who work at non-profits too. This is why a lot of nursing jobs qualify for this form of forgiveness anf I personally know a...

  18. I have 60 grand of student loan when I finished BSN

    fmf13 replied to Sam. W's topic in General Nursing

    I have 50k and I pay $528/month to pay it off in 10 years, so $600/month is not unrealistic. Also, 60k is no form of chump change. That could be used as a down payment for a house or you could buy a...

  19. I have 60 grand of student loan when I finished BSN

    fmf13 replied to Sam. W's topic in General Nursing

    Hi! I am in a very similar boat, but I did an accelerated nursing degree after getting my first bachelor's degree. I have found through researching that you can apply for Public Service Forgiveness....

    fmf13 replied to SpunkyStarGazer's topic in Illinois Nursing

    My interview was different, because the CNO had an emergency (I feel everything was crazy for me), but they will just ask a few questions to make sure you are a good fit. Don't sweat it. They...
