   I am an RN in home health. A BSN isn't required but would it be a waste of money/time to get my BSN?

   Elektra6 replied to Ashlee59's topic in Private Duty

   Private duty. You are right. They didn’t care about having a BSN. WGU took me 3 semesters working full time which is a year and a half.

   Elektra6 replied to Ashlee59's topic in Private Duty

   I got my BSN right after my RN (was an LPN for 7 yrs) even though I stayed in homecare. I thought if I wanted to go into a supervisor position or switch jobs it would be required. I did it really cheap at WGU online. I don’t regret it but I’m glad I...

   Staffing issues

   Elektra6 replied to Kitiger's topic in Private Duty

   Same issues here. Or the nurses don’t show up and you have to stay. It’s awful. I don’t want to work 7 days a week.

   Family refuses to meet in person

   Elektra6 replied to NurseKel's topic in Private Duty

   Once upon a time, I had a supervisor that retired who I trusted to go out and do the work of setting up everything and making sure the household was safe. But now, I don’t have that same level of trust in the agency. So go with your gut.

   Jury duty. We were filling out a 20 page questionnaire about us (it was a death penalty case) when someone came in and said we were under attack. We couldn’t leave until we filled it out. A month later I had to go before the judge, the defendant and...

    Elektra6 replied to guest1143647's topic in Nursing

    I never worked in a hospital. I started out as an LPN and no hospital would hire me. After I got my RN I never got a hospital job. I DO feel like I missed out. I wish I would have have applied after I got my RN. Now I feel I’m too old to try ?

    Covid vaccine for homebound clients?

    Elektra6 replied to Elektra6's topic in Private Duty

    Update: Local VNA told me they will schedule home vaccines when they get the J&J one since it’s easier to transport and needs one dose only. I was finally able to schedule an appointment for pt and mom at local megasite for May 1. If we get somet...

    How much do you owe in student loans?

    Elektra6 replied to MJB2010's topic in Nursing

    $0. Gen X here. College in the 90s was WAY cheaper than today. Got a BA at a state college near home. Paid for with a part time job LOL. Went the LPN, RN, BSN step by step paying as I went later on. A second degree is not many courses.
