Is nursing a good career if you want to raise a family?
Nursing is a very family-friendly career! You can work various shifts that cater to your lifestyle. Nights, evenings, weekends, etc. When it comes to having babies and younger children, you can work nights or weekends and "tag-team" parent with your spouse. That way, you aren't shelling out money to a daycare or babysitter and paying someone else to raise your child. That can be a substantial savings (and a blessing). While you will likely have to work every other holiday, most families with health care professionals (or public safety professionals like police, fire, ems) simply adjust the "gathering" time of celebrations or even do them the day before or day after. It's all about being flexible! Most facilities pretty much have a "set schedule" for regular staff and you can request to work (for example) Monday-Wednesday night shifts and that's it. Most places are very willing to accomodate (OB is one of those that really caters to making it family-friendly for the staff).
How to discontinue Nurse-Family Partnership service?
Please, no nasty comments! I am currently almost 8 weeks pregnant and for the time being I am on Pregnant Medicaid and am not receiving any other government assistance. My husband is working full time and is a member of the Army National Guard and I am a recent college graduate and going on job interviews now for a teaching job. I am on Pregnant Medicaid until I am able to get my own insurance through my job. I am seeking my prenatal care at my own OB/GYN clinic which is in a different county (but nearby) than where I live. Yesterday, I received a phone call from a nurse at my county health department. Apparently, since I am a first-time mom on Medicaid I have to participate in a program called Nurse-Family Partnership. The thing is, I don't want to be involved in this program, even though I answered the nurses questions via phone call yesterday. My sister was enrolled in this program (for the same reason) two years ago and its just a hassle and waste of time really. The program has a nurse call you every one to two months during and after your pregnancy to ask you "safety" questions about your pregnancy. Not only does the nurse call you every few months, but home visits are conducted by nurses for the first two and a half years after the child's birth. When I spoke to the nurse on the phone she also made it a point to tell me that she wanted me to see the dentist at the Health Department for at least two cleanings during my pregnancy, although I have dental insurance through my father and I have my own dentist. You only get cleanings every 6 months and I'm not due for another one until November and after that in May, when the baby will already be 3 months old. She also wants me to go see a primary doctor, that she is setting me up with, because I have asthma, although I stressed to her that my asthma is under control and I have all the medications I need. Pregnant Medicaid won't cover asthma needs and I don't have the money for that at the moment. I would like to forego these services, but how do I tell the nurse to "go away"? I am happily married, have a doctor I am seeing for prenatal services, have supportive family and friends, and have a steady income along with hopes of a career in teaching within the next month. I don't need extra help with raising a child in a safe home because I am qualified as being "poverty stricken" and a first time mom, which is the goal of this program according to the website.
Is there such thing as "unregistered nurse"?
There are different types people that may be called 'nurses', based on education. A registered nurse has completed the longest program of study and has written and passed an exam specific to Canada/US. They have to keep up their skills by working a specified number of hours over a set number of years (1125 hours in 5 years used to be the rule) and maintain their registration with the professional organization in their state or province. Some RNs have a degree (BScN), while others have completed a diploma program through a hospital or community college. Most hospital unit charge nurses (here, anyway) are RNs. A licenced practical nurse has taken a shorter program and does not have quite the same range of skills as a registered nurse. They still perform a huge amount of patient care and their range of responsibilities is getting wider (in some facilities, an LPN of today is doing the work of an RN of 10 years ago). They have their own licensing body that they must be part of and answer to the rules of. A certified nursing assistant/registered nursing assistant/nurses aide has varying amounts of training; in this community, there is a special 18 week course they can take on basic caregiving, charting as well as clinical exposure. They may or may not be part of a licensing body.
In Romeo and Juliet, how does the nurse help the Capulet family?
She is basically the messenger between them. First, she talks to Romeo in scene one at the party and answers his question to who Juliet is. And then at the end of the scene she finds out who Romeo is for Juliet. In ACT 2 she goes to Romeo to give him a message from Juliet about the wedding. And she is supportive.
How many years does it take to become family Nurse Practitioner?
First, it is NOT stupid to be a nurse. It is in fact one of the most respected occupations seen by the American public. Nurses can make a ton of money right out of school and can make even more working overtime. Nursing is a very stable career choice. Step 1: You have to become a Registered Nurse through an accredited bachelor of science in nursing program, which is a 4 year college degree. To get into nursing school you have to have a really good GPA in all the prerequisites, esp. the science and health classes. You also need to take an entrance exam after your 1st 2 years in the "pre-nursing" program to get accepted into the official "nursing" program. After you complete the 4 year degree you sit for the NCLEX, a national test to get your RN license. Step 2: Get a job in the hospital and make friends with your supervisor bc he or she has to write you a reference letter for the nurse practitioner program. Also you need a reference letter from someone else, probably a clinical instructor from your undergrad program. Step 3: Take the GRE and get over a 1000. You will need this or an undergrad GPA over 3.5 to get into the masters program. Step 4: Apply to the Masters program (specify Family nurse practitioner) and then hopefully you will get an interview. The MSN program going full time is 2 years. Going part time takes 2.5 years. -Nurse practitioners are different from doctors because they practice NURSING, which focuses more on holistic care of a person. They focus on the overall wellness of people and in specific teach patients about things so they can make good lifestyle choices and health maintenance decisions. FNPs can prescribe most medications (in some states they cannot prescribe narcotics). Good luck! And remember, nursing is a very noble profession.
Ncs diet vs lcs diet for diabetics in nursing homes? If family request a no sugar diet is dietary at legal ris
Most nursing homes give diabetics regular diet with no concentrated sweets. If the "responsible party" or Power of Attorney or the patient (he if is mentally competent) requests a no sugar diet then you have to abide by their wishes.It's called patient rights.As long as the physician is made aware and it is documented in the nurses notes and in the dietary notes then the dietary manager is not responsible and can not be cited.The unit manager should call the M.D. and ask him to change the diet to a no sugar and quite frankly I don't see a problem with the dietary manager calling him.Also this needs to be brought up in the next care planning meeting and addressed on the care plan.
Does the Philippines have nursing homes?
Contrary to the first two answerers, there are actually nursing homes in the Philippines. The most well known and probably one of the pioneers is Golden Acres which is located in Quezon City, near SM North EDSA. There are other nursing homes as well, though perhaps not as numerous or common as in the US. While it's true that in the Philippines, families care for their elderly, there are also those who for some reason end up homeless. Some are abandoned, some have no relatives to care for them. There are also some nursing homes that have sprung up to cater to elderly foreigners who wish to retire in the Philippines but do not have any relatives in the Philippines. One such home is the Rose Princess Home 1 in Cabuyao, Laguna which caters to elderly Japanese who find living in Japan on a pension expensive.
