  1. Case Management vs Care Coordination

    5228shamrock posted a topic in General Nursing

    I’m wondering what everyone thinks- How are Case Management and Care Coordination different? How are they the same/similar? (I work in an outpatient setting,) Thank you in advance for your...

  2. Do hiring managers ever re-interview candidates?

    5228shamrock replied to Aliceozwalker's topic in General Nursing

    If I felt after the interview that you were not a good fit for my organization and for my team, or that you just don’t have the skills that the job requires then I would not interview you again....

  3. WGU

    5228shamrock posted a topic in Western Governors University

    Can someone tell me what WGU is really like as far as their RN to BSN program? I tried an online RN to BSN program and didn't like it. I hate the discussion boards because I think they're busy work...

  4. WGU

    5228shamrock replied to 5228shamrock's topic in Western Governors University

    This is helpful information! I'll give them another look. Any comments from anyone

  5. Poor selection of plus size scrubs

    5228shamrock posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I've read several posts from nurses looking for plus size scrubs, but most of those are about folks looking for 2x or 3x. I admit that I'm larger than I would like to be. I typically wear size 4X. I'm...

  6. Poor selection of plus size scrubs

    5228shamrock replied to 5228shamrock's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    These are both great ideas.

  7. Extremely Sore Feet!! HELP

    5228shamrock replied to TenerifeSea's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Vionic!! I'm overweight and have all the joint pain that goes along with that. Plus I've had an injury to my left ACL and meniscus, followed by surgery. I frequently have pain in the left knee....

  8. Pain Scale

    5228shamrock posted a topic in General Nursing

    What pain scale do you use for your patients? Do you feel that it is a good tool? We need to find something that assesses pain better than the smiley faces and frowny

  9. Pain Scale

    5228shamrock replied to 5228shamrock's topic in General Nursing

    Lots of things to think about here, and a really good discussion. It's true, sometimes patients don't get appropriate treatment for their pain. Sometimes patients under report because they feel that...

  10. Pain Scale

    5228shamrock replied to 5228shamrock's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you KindaBack. I agree100% and you stated my point much better than I did! I was looking for something that is more useful than faces or numbers. Maybe it doesn't

  11. RN to BSN online or on campus

    5228shamrock posted a topic in Western Governors University

    I am all set to start the online RN to BSN program at WGU. I am 70% of the way complete before I even start the program. The only non-nursing classes that I need to take are statistics in chemistry....

  12. Pain Scale

    5228shamrock replied to 5228shamrock's topic in General Nursing

    Well said, JKL33. Thanks for

  13. Pain Scale

    5228shamrock replied to 5228shamrock's topic in General Nursing

    The faces allow us to communicate with non-English speaking people who might not understand the English numbers, even though we have it translated in multiple

  14. Pain Scale

    5228shamrock replied to 5228shamrock's topic in General Nursing

    Sour Lemon- you made me laugh! Our scale has both faces and numbers on it, but I find that folks can't really come up with an answer on the spot. I don't care if their pain is 2 or 8, but I need them...

  15. Pain Scale

    5228shamrock replied to 5228shamrock's topic in General Nursing

    So thanks for the comments but I'm really just asking what pain scale everyone uses, in hopes that I can find one that better meets our needs. I'm not really interested in explaining our current...

  16. RN to BSN online or on campus

    5228shamrock replied to 5228shamrock's topic in Western Governors University

    You do put a twist on it. Online classes were helpful to you, but I'm afraid that it will be the opposite for me. I hate the logging in, making comments to simulate classroom discussion, etc. You have...

  17. Pain Scale

    5228shamrock replied to 5228shamrock's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that the faces work remarkably well with children. I do not work with children. I'm also not trying to second guess someone else's pain. I work in occupational health. I often see people who...

  18. UALR (university of Arkansas Little Rock)accelerated program

    5228shamrock replied to Rose92's topic in School, College Programs

    Did you start classes at the U of Arkansas at LR? I'm looking at their RN to BSN

  19. Pain Scale

    5228shamrock replied to 5228shamrock's topic in General Nursing

    I don't like the faces either. I find that most people rate their pain high with this scale. We often get folks who say their pain is 8 or 10, but they have full ROM, no objective findings, and are...

  20. NEED A JOB?

    5228shamrock posted a topic in Occupational Health

    I currently have an opening for an Occupational Health Nurse- either a LPN or RN in Nebraska City, NE. It is sometimes difficult to find nurses in our small community. Therefore, I thought that it...

  21. WGU

    5228shamrock posted a topic in Western Governors University

    This has probably asked and answered, butplease humor me. I'll be starting the RN to BSN program at WGU soon. I need to take biochemistry and statistics. I'm a little nervous about those. Can you tell...

    5228shamrock posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am brand new to this forum, so please excuse me if I am doing everything wrong. I am a RN with an Assoc Degree. I have been a nurse for a long time, but have a long-time goal of having a BS degree....
