1. What do you love/hate about home health nursing?

   tinybbynurse replied to JJsMama79's topic in Home Health

   I just started in HH about a month or so ago. I'm currently the DON, but until another RN is hired, I'm doing field nursing 2x week. Pros: Flexibility - you can run an errand in the middle of the day, meet a friend for lunch, run home if yo...

2. General home health questions

   tinybbynurse posted a topic in Home Health

   Being new to this area I have a few general questions for those of you who deal with Medicare patients / OASIS charting. The old DON and other RN left recently and it’s a small company - and my supervisor isn’t an RN and has some answers but not all....

3. Should I recertify this patient?

   tinybbynurse posted a topic in Home Health

   Fairly new to home health. Wondering if I should recertify this patient - as far as I know, there are no specific guidelines in place, it’s based on clinical judgement. However, I was told sometime next year Medicare will have a specific guide to go ...

4. Fishy, illegitimate contract..?

   tinybbynurse posted a topic in General Nursing

   I just started working at a HH agency and actually really love it. The only thing I found to be really weird is this week the administrator, who was out most of last week when I started so just had me fill out new hire paperwork this week - had me ha...

   So ridiculous!! All over potatoes? ? supposedly... some people are just in positions of power who shouldn’t be.

   Right. Very true

7. let go from job

   tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in General Nursing

   @T-Bird78 thanks for sharing!! Look at that - what’s up with the weekend trend of letting people go from their jobs at the end of the day?! I’m sure you’ve come a long way since then. I appreciate your words of encouragement. My parents can’t wrap ...

   tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in General Nursing

   @T__BSN_AGNP21 I’m glad to know i’m not alone. Thanks for the encouragement! @Davey Do oh my goodness I didn’t mean to come across like that ? I figured you meant in a long time span - my reaction was more geared toward how awesome it is that you p...

9. let go from job

   tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in General Nursing

   @Forest2 I totally hear you. I’m generally an easy going person and get along with everyone. A lot of people were buddy-buddy there though and would crack jokes with each other and have in depth personal convos - I suppose I assumed a more profession...

10. let go from job

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in General Nursing

    @Oldmahubbard thank you for your words as well!! It’s terrible that personal favor by one or two people plays a role in some nursing jobs. But I know this is just the way it is sometimes. I’m so glad to hear that you ended up becoming an NP and perse...

11. let go from job

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in General Nursing

    @ZenLover I totally agree - Justification and truth ARE two separate things. And you’re right - I don’t want to work so closely on a regular basis with a provider who is cold and unfriendly on purpose. I find that to be blatantly rude and not necessa...

12. let go from job

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in General Nursing

    YES!! This is EXACTLY what I told my SO the other day! I was like... ya know...they could’ve just let me go in the morning or called me or something, so I could spend the day figuring out my next move, it truly takes A LOT of time searching for jobs,...

13. let go from job

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in General Nursing

    Three times? And you persevered - that is so encouraging. Thank you for sharing! I am naturally still in shock seeing as how it’s been less than 24 hours and I’d be lying if I said I don’t feel immensely insecure and crushed af the moment, but I’m tr...

14. let go from job

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for your words. I definitely agree with you. This clinic actually often hires friends of employees, so I wouldn’t be surprised at all if there’s someone else someone, perhaps this provider, “preferred”. It almost seems old fashioned and ou...

15. let go from job

    tinybbynurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    Anyone ever had that happen? I know many have. I never expected to have it happen to me. I started a new job not even 2 months ago, and when they let me go, they didn’t even give me specific reasons besides “not a good fit”. They mentioned the whole ...
