I created this channel to help all those prospective nursing students, as well as those in a nursing program currently! The idea is to give an upper-hand to students thinking about going into nursing and have available aid for those needing to study during the program itself.
Taking the NCLEX
In this video, we talk about the NCLEX-RN exam and what to expect before you take it! We also dig into the Next Generation NCLEX (NGN) that is being administered as of April 1st, 2023, and what new features come with this change!

Often in our journey into a Nursing program, we try our hardest to get everything we need to succeed before we start. We forget something CRUCIAL to our success though...
10 year ER nurse converted to walk in clinic and now that job is going away. Looking for something with flexible hours due to being single dad. Pointers on how to learn documentation and time management. Websites, cheat sheets for speeding up documentation. Would prefer to get as much done between 8-3 when possible.
As someone who has worked ltc, lt-acute care, and acute care including icu rotations, screw the "excitement". I just want a chill job that is good for my mental and physical health, good pay and allows a good work-life balance
I agree that the depth of nursing is not what I would prefer. However I can’t get a job in acute care and I’ve been trying for years to
Great video and very informative as usual. Thank you
Thanks for the video, do home health nurses run night shifts?
Great question! There are some positions that will allow for night shift in home health but I don't think it's as regular as inpatient care (acute care). I think if you were looking for night time positions you could find them but there is a much higher concentration of home health that happens during the day. Thanks for the comment!
I’m working in Ambulatory care. It’s a government hospital so we have a lot of patient also procedures but I like working in outpatient department than ward we don’t have bedside care like in the ward.
It's called Ambulatory Nursing, not Outpatient Nursing😓
Wow 😲 guys... You can't believe it I passed my Next Gen 😊...a big thanks to Mrs Amelia 😊 i couldn't have done it without her
Congratulations dear 🥰 I'm jealous when i hear people saying I pass my exams...It seems this Mrs Amelia is a nice woman
I’m not doing ADLs..I just got a computer science degree and I can not understand any of it nor can I find a job so now I need to go into another field and start over..is there anyway not to do blood, shit, pee, showering, etc??? Like what nursing area could I do
Can you do home health without doing toileting, bathing ughhh I’m so over everything
I'm an LPN and just finished a residency program with a home health company. I love it. I work with Trach and Vent and I like knowing what every day is going to be like and getting to see long term progress
That sounds like a great gig! Home health has expanded into quite a robust sector over the last several years and they offer some pretty cool options! I'm glad to hear you're liking the new gig! Thanks for the comment!
Do you typically have to have a clean driving record to work as a Home Health Nurse?
Hey P.J. I am not 100% sure on this one so you'll want to do some of your own research. What I do know is that many home health organizations will require the use of your own car and need proof of license and insurance for that. The organizations that use their cars for the nurses may have different options. In short, I would say yes, you probably need a clean driving record. However there may be some things that are allowed. I hope this helps! Thanks for the comment!
I've been an RN for 26 years and in home health for 19, almost 20 years. When I was in school, the rumor was that home health is where the lazy nurses go. I know it was a LOT different back then, and that might have been the case in 1996, but it's not now. Home health nurses must be highly skilled, self-motivated, competent, and confident. We must have good time management as well. Many are not comfortable going into the patient's home, but I love delivering care at home. As an RN, we do the admits, recertifications, resumptions, and discharges for the most part. We don't usually do routine visits, but at times, we do them. A Skilled admit usually takes around an hour, which is usually the longest we will be in the home. Most routine visits are between 30 min to an hour. We do some longer infusions that require the nurse to stay with the patient, such as Radicava or Iron. I have filled several roles over the years from field nurse to Director of Nursing. I will say that if you are considering a career in home health, it is not easy. The documentation is extensive and does take personal time to complete, but it is very rewarding and does give some flexibility in scheduling. Always make sure that the agency offers support to its field staff at all times. Make sure that your director is willing to do whatever it takes to make sure the patients are cared for, including going out to do visits and covering on call when needed. It's about teamwork. As far as pay, RNs can make more working in a facility or hospital, but you don't get the flexibility or autonomy that comes with home health. I will end my career as a home health nurse. Getting to know your patients as human beings is very rewarding.

@oluwatobimoses1072 what?
What is the cases of pt in home health care
@duaaalghuti918 not sure what you are asking. Yes, PT is done in the home
I'm thinking of leaving hospital bedside to go to home health. I hear how bad the charting is as a home health nurse. How much worse is home health charting as opposed to hospital charting?
May your holidays be filled with cheer, warm memories, and happiness. Thank you for serving our business so well. Merry Christmas to everyone! ua-cam.com/video/qyCThoY49N8/v-deo.html
Like the sound of the outpatient nursing
Right! It is a path that a lot of RNs take in their career journey! Thanks for the comment!
Nice explanation but please gift case sample in out patient clinic brother so we can learn more waiting your next vidio.thank !!
Personal care nursing is for Nurse assistants not RNs. You should know this if you’re a nurse. We home health nurses so skilled nursing. Don’t speak on things if you don’t know what you’re talking about.
Hey! Thanks for the comment! I'd love to hear more about what you do as a home health nurse! As I mentioned in the video, what RNs do in home health varies a lot from place to place and patient to patient. Personal care is an aspect of nursing that is handled by RNs in almost every aspect of nursing as we don't only preform skills but we care for our patients holistically. I have no doubt that the majority of tasks you do are highly skilled but I'm sure you're giving personal care, companionship and skilled nursing to every patient as well. Thanks again for the comment! Feel free to let us know what your day looks like when you're working to help those that have no frame of reference at all!
How to get home health nurse certification?
Hi Katherine, you will need a nursing license to provide nursing care but there are many aspects of home health that have a lower barrier to entry. You could look into getting an LVN, or even starting with your CNA. Some states in the US have home health jobs that only require in house training but I don't know much about these off the top of my head. Thank you for the comment!
What's your contact details?
What do you mean about Nursing Visit Frequency? Thanks for the Answer
Hey angelica! With a lot of home health care, insurance will pay for a certain visit frequency depending on what you are needing home health for. Although there are many different perspectives, I was referring to the frequency of visits per week. I hope this helps! Thanks for the comment!
A simple way to care for a foot wound or ulcer is the use of an antimicrobial shoe insole like one called PodoPhylus. It releases iodine slowly keeping the wound sterile. My sister used it, and it works…
@@nursology590 . Yeah a very inexpensive way to prevent amputations..
Thanks for this info on top paying nursing jobs. I appreciated the way you broke it down by degree.
Thanks for the comment! I'm glad it added some value for you! We will be posting more videos in the near future so be looking out for those!
I'm looking to transition in my career and I really appreciated this video. Thank you.
I have been a home health nurse for over 20 years. In my state I don’t really know of any “companion” type care. We do skilled care and education. We have several pts a day and most are only seen 1 time a week depending on the care. If we are in the home for 2 hours something serious is going on.
Much needed video, and channel ❤️
Thanks! I'm glad I could add some value! Taking some time out of our week for some self care is SUPER important and, in my experience, health care professionals are really bad at doing this!
Keep it up! Loved your video. Very informative and helpful.
Thanks Nicole! We've got big plans for 2023 on the channel so stay tuned! Thanks for the comment!
Great information!🤩
Thanks! I appreciate the comment!
Can you do a video on Practice Nursing please? (UK)
Hey Aylin! If I'm understanding your question you're wanting some information on Practice Nursing in the UK? I don't have any experience outside of the US but I'll look into it and see if I can gather enough information to put together a video! Thanks for the comment!
This was very insightful! I’ve been applying for outpatient jobs as well as school nursing (RN). Would you have any advice for school nursing? I just landed the job as a new grad and I’m super excited. Thanks!
How does one get into home health nursing if you are an ADN- RN (med-surg) with 10 years hospital nursing exp. wanting to re-enter the nursing field after being out for +5 years due to BURN OUT. How do they look at gaps in work for nurses wanting to rejoin the nursing field. I've been reading about certain job requirements for documentation experience for CMS/Oasis. Where do you gain that type experience in a documentation knowledge base without having worked in home health? Thanks<>
Hey Johnson Lillie, Great question! I think there are a lot of nurses in your situation, especially with the pandemic putting such a strain on the healthcare field in general. To be quite honest, I don't know what route you should take specifically. Furthermore I think it's something you should give a lot of thought to prior to jumping back in. Here are some things to consider from my perspective: Depending on which state you are licensed in there are continuing education credits that are required to keep your license so you will want to make sure you have an active license prior to jumping out there. For example, in some states, going 5+ years without work requires you to take a small test to determine whether you are up to date on laws etc. I would look into that first (which will give you some refresher there). My main recommendation after that would be to start small and call some local hospitals or clinics and tell them your situation and ask them if you can shadow for a day or two. There is usually very little you have to do to be able to shadow. Then do the same at a home health facility and ask them about their systems and what kind of training they provide. After that I think you should just go for it. That said, there is a huge demand for nursing right now and as long as you are transparent with the facility you're applying at, I feel confident that they will provide the training necessary to get you up to speed. I hope my response helps! There truly is no one answer for everyone but these were just a few of my thoughts. Please let me know if there are any other questions!
Hello Joe. I've donated blood at American Red Cross blood drives several times over the past 5 years. I also started donating plasma a couple of months ago. Before donating blood and plasma, I go through screening, which is essentially a mini-physical. I get my hemoglobin, hematocrit, and protein levels checked with a finger prick blood test. My weight, blood pressure, and pulse are also checked. I also answer a series of questions about my past medical history. This is all to ensure that I am healthy enough to donate blood or plasma. I'm sure that there are nurses that help to collect blood at blood drives and source plasma from healthy donors. Would nurses working in these roles and settings be considered outpatient nurses?
Hey awofadeju1, To my knowledge, I believe most of the people working a blood drive through donation centers and drives are usually phlebotomists or specially trained technicians that are trained in blood drawing techniques. There may be an RN on site but I don't know quite enough about that to answer with much certainty. That said, I think if there are nurses there, you could consider that outpatient nursing. Thanks so much for your comment and please feel free to ask more questions if any pop up!
Home Heath RN 6+years here. What you describe as companionship and ADL care is not delivered by a home health nurse but by home health aides through unskilled agencies typically Medicaid, Waiver etc. I work for a skilled Medicare agency with older, higher acuity patients. I see 6-7 patients a day 5 days a week plus on call rotation every 4-5 weeks. Typical skills involve PICC/Central line management and care, woundvacs, trachs, Chest tubes, ostomies, catheters, biliary drains, Lab draws, etc. Documentation expectations are high due to Medicare requirements esxpecially with SOC, ROC, Recerts. Lots of charting that follows you home even with good time management. Home health nurses wear many hats. At times I feel like a social worker, pt educator, nurse navigator etc. Pts are often unstable and at high risk for hospital readmission.
Hi Joni! Thank you for your valuable input! I love having nurses comment that work in the fields I make videos about. As I say in my videos, these are not exhaustive explanations and they vary widely depending on where you live and how large the facility is, etc. I have heard that the documentation is extremely stringent due to CMS guidelines and requirements! Thank you for commenting and adding value to those that may be reading in the comments!
Hi @joniK I’m starting a new role as a RN case manager in home health. Would you say you have a good work life balance? About what time do you usually finish your shifts? I’m excited to start this role. Thanks
Yes - what Joni K said. There are some wealthy clients that pay out-of-pocket for a private duty RN, but typically, home health aids are the people assisting with ADLs. In my experience, days working as a home health RN go by quickly as you drive around helping people with the things Joni K mentioned, and I usually enjoyed that part of the job. The documentation at home was too much, though. It didn't allow for much family time. Add in chronic problems, in my experience, with the companies I worked for (communication issues with the office staff, difficulty obtaining supplies, scheduling craziness), and it was time for me to find a new area of nursing. There must be better companies out there, and I truly wish the best for anyone considering home health, but that was my experience with two employers.
We are not companions
It’s amazing how to explained everything that we should know as a nurse but took it for granted You did a great job
Thank you so much Beverly!
Good job 👍👍👌👌💐💐💐
Also, can you cover what resources you used to pass NCLEX and what you learned about different nursing specialties. Hope you come out with more content soon!
Great video! Super informative, coming with a unique perspective. I really hope you continue to make more content. This is awesome!
Thank you so much Liliana! I took a break for the last several months (mostly due to the demands of covid on an ER nurse) but I am planning to pick things back up around august September!
Thank you for this. I am getting back into home health care nursing and kind of needed a refresher about what to expect again
Hello, can I ask for a link about nursing update for outpatient adult? I can't find any in internet.
Can you give me advice on being a LPN in home health is it different for a RN or same in Hospitals, Nursing Homes, & or Home health..?
Why did you stop the podcast? Those three were very informational! I am excited to see what else you come out with!
Thank you so much! I am planning on picking the podcast back up! It has been a crazy year and a half and I haven't been able to break away and find time but I am picking it all back up this coming September!
Great video you put a lot of time and energy into this video. Keep up the good work. Very on point and simple explanation
Hey great video I was looking for this information. I’m an international trained Rn My question is how do you get specialization skill to work in these different clinics. Can you do a video on different specialized skills for nurses to do and where do you get these experiences. The reason why I asked is because I’m my country if you work in a specific area you are offered courses to be trained in that area and it qualifies you as specialized. Thanks love yr video and your simple explanation.
This was a pretty good in-depth video and you’re a good speaker, surprised you don’t have more followers, I think you should keep making videos 👍🏻 take care!
I appreciate that! Thanks for the comment!
I want to become a nurse but I don't if it is hard 😕
Iam a nurse.may I get a job in us like a care taker in home
In many states, being a "caregiver" doesn't require a license. However, some states or organizations require some sort of formal training. You will want to check into that first.
Very helpful. Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful! I'm planning on putting up a lot more content in the future, stay tuned!
Thanks for the info. I've recently started and I love it. Took awhile to learn all the protocols and documentations but once it click it clicks. Another hurdle was being independent in scheduling and routing but I found a cool app for home health workers called Zigbuddy and that made keeping track of appts, doing my schedule and routing so much easier. When it comes to companies to work for it was hard finding one with great benefits though. Lot of 1099 work out there.
Very thourough, informative video
So it’s kinda of a medical assistant? Like the work they do? Hoping for a response
Hey! Thanks for the comment! I would say that they are not the same. In many clinics, in fact, RN's will oversee the work of Medical Assistants. In general, the training and schooling that RN's go through allows them to develop critical thinking and skills that are usually beyond the scope of a medical assistant. Nurses can utilize "nursing diagnoses" and a wide array of assessment skills to help the primary care practitioner develop a treatment plan. They can also teach on medications and procedures proficiently. It's very important to remember too, that the job of a nurse is very diverse. No nurses will have the exact same experience and depending on the location, type of clinic, and state laws among other things, the experience of a nurse will differ drastically. These videos are intended to give a broad overview for those that don't have any idea about the position. Thanks again for the comment and feel free to ask more questions! I'll do my best to respond to them promptly!
Thanks Joe
