New Home Health Nurse

[Shell7280]

Hi! My name is Michelle, and I've been an RN for a year and a half now. I just started working for a home health agency as basically a case manager. Doing admits, recerts, chart audits, etc. I've worked there for two weeks now, and I love it so far. It's pretty good money and it's going to be even better money after 90 days. So I be prepared for newbie questions .

How is your home health job going?

Hey !

I just wanted to update things! I'm still at my home health care job. I still really enjoy it. And I've been told that I've adapted unbelievably quick to home health care. My capacity is assistant administrator now, instead of merely the office RN. I do all admissions, recertifications, supervisory visits, some prn SNV's, and QA.

I am having a problem with getting nurses to understand that things have to be done right, things have to be completely filled out, etc. There are some nurses that I just have no idea where they went to school! They don't even know how to assess their patients. It's very frustrating trying to get nurses twice my age to listen to me, alot of them have serious issues with this. Any advice on staff education would be greatly appreciated! I am presenting an inservice this week (for the 3rd time).

Oh and on another, better, note.....I am getting married!!! In October!
