About michaelhansonRN

michaelhansonRN has 11 years experience and specializes in Wound Care, Home Health, SNF, Consulting.

I began my career in healthcare when I was 16 years old, working in the dietary department for a small nursing facility in Southern Ohio. As soon as I turned 18 I applied for a job at the local hospital as an orderly. I was hired and worked about a year before going to school for my LPN. I was an LPN for several years before going back for my RN and then BSN. I am also Wound Care Certified and am a BLS Instructor. I currently work as the Director for Apollo Wound Center in Brown County, Ohio, where I oversee the operation of our Free-Standing Wound Center. I also do a lot of outside education and consulting for the company; and have recently developed and submitted a Continuing Education Program specific to Wound Care. Additionally I teach one day weekly for Beckfield College of Nursing, do many consulting gigs outside of Apollo, work PRN with a staffing agency, and am in the process of starting a new Home Health Agency. I am currently attending Ohio University and plan to complete my Nurse Practitioner, continuing in Wound Care, but also possibly spread my wings a bit, reaching back into Critical Care and maybe even some Primary Care.

    I can certainly relate to difficulty reaching PCPs for info. I'm sure it's much more involved on your end. I think HH is a special area of practice and definitely not everyone! Thank you for your response.

  5. Transcription Error- was I also in the wrong?

    michaelhansonRN replied to Bestmaf1's topic in Medications

    This is a peculiar yet not uncommon issue. I myself found myself in this same situation years ago. I was outraged when I had received a written warning (as did every nurse on every shift for over two weeks) in a nursing facility that I worked in as...

    Hey there. Thank you for your response. I have never thought about using "adhere" rather than comply, but can certainly see your point of view. I was talking with someone just this evening about the challenges in the home care setting. Most nurs...
