I am currently seeking a position as a nurse who has one year of Med/Surg experience. I want a Mon-Friday position. I am wanting to know what seems a little less stressful .. Doctors office or Case Management? There is a case management position at a...
You are right. I thought that was strange. She reassured me that it is very rare to get a call at all. The call goes to a triage nurse first and if its bad she tells them to call 911. If its small she tells them it can wait til Monday. The man anger ...
The hours for home health you start around 8:30 or 9 am and she said you may finish around 3 pm and take home charting. Its Mon thru Friday with occasion on call for one week. No Sundays.
The home health job pays 36$ per visit. Which I'll do like 5 patients per day. You are on call one week every 4-5th week. On call pays 250$ along with your regular hours you'll do that week. They reimburse mileage .45 on the gallon. Again my main con...
It may sound bad but I am just looking for stability and a routine. I am not interested in going higher up or worried I will not have a "career". I see your point of needing to know what I want to do and what's important to me. I want more time to sp...
I am curious to know if you all had an option would you take a doctors office making less pay per hour (16.00$) or a home health position where they pay you 36$ per visit. I am a RN with almost 2 years of experience. The office job stated they will p...
I was offered a job here in VA at a doctors office. They are going to pay me $16 per hour. 140 hours of PTO per year. Insurance seems good but they pay is very low I know. I was also offered a Home Health job. Not sure which one to take? What are som...
Your right. Thank you for your feedback. From my understanding you would be seeing roughly 5-6 patients per day. If they happen to be hospitalized and not home then the manager will reschedule them or give me another patient to fill the void. Both jo...
Thank you for your reply. I live in a small town in VA. I dont have many options to choose from unless I did a commute which I am trying to avoid especially due to times of inclement weather. You are certainly right about the pay. But taking off the ...
And don't give up! I didn't pass the first time either. Here are some tips... Think ABCs as priority. All answers may be right... but what is MORE important? What will keep your patient safe? What will keep them alive? What can you do now to fix the ...
Hello.. I am a "new grad" in a sense. I have been a Med/Surg nurse for a year now. I absolutely hate it where I work because we are so short staffed and it makes things so difficult. I work many hours and never have time for a break. Money is not a ...
When I first graduated I wanted to go straight into the Pysch Unit. But they encouraged me to get MedSurg experience. I know it seems I am running away based on my thread. However I do have a genuine interest in talking one on one and helping people....
I wouldn't say I am running away from MedSurg... it id hard on my body running ragged from one floor to the other end constantly. However I accepted the Pysch position. Any thoughts? (Positive mainly)
Thank you for this information! I did not think of it this way. I appreciate your input. I live in a small town in Virginia, I thought that was low pay as well. They told me it was due to having one year experience and also an office setting is much ...
Get the Prioritization Delegation and Assignment book by Lacharity. It is blue yellow and red. It is a thin paper back. It is great. Either edition will work. Study it good and you will pass!
They need help at night on the Pysch Unit. I will be working 11-7am and occasional 12 hour shifts at night. I don't mind working with shorter staff on pysch because its not postop patients and people wanting pain and nausea medication every hour lik...

You will learn to prioritize... You will find you wont always have time to keep reorienting the same patient when you need to focus on your ABC's and Maslow's heiarchy of needs. You do need to keep snacks and plenty of water with you and snack as you...
