  1. having questions

    Hi mz.free, Looks like no answered your question. I am also interested in cm. I am currently in home health and we are considered case managers. I plan to take classes through Kaplan on line to become certified but I live in MD and depending on where...
  2. Anyone else thinking of leaving home health?

    What a relief, I thought I was the only one that felt this way. I had my interview with the local health department almost 4 weeks ago and haven't heard anything yet. The whole hiring process takes entirely too long here and dumb me was so eager to g...
  3. That MD sounds like a jerk. Just make sure to include in your documentation what the patient told you and the conversation with the MD and MA. It probably won't do any good to put in the MD's attitude. You did everything right because you followed th...

    I've worked for 2 different HHA and we don't do late visits. If its an IV patient and they need to get a 9pm or 10pm we let the hospitals know we don't do visits that last but we open them the following morning so usually the hospital gives them the ...

  9. I have an interview, need help!!!

    I would ask what are their on call, weekend, and holiday requirements. 1 agency I worked for, we took call about 1-2 times a week. We had a weekend nurse so we only had to work if she requested off or sick. We had to take call on holidays but the age...
  10. Hi all, I've been in HHN for 2 years. I love the flexibility, teaching, and the rewards I get from helping my patients, but there are some things I am getting tired of. Things like being in and out of cold, rainy weather, and just running around all...
  11. I've been in HHN for 2 years and recently switched home health agencies. Well, after being at my new job for 1 week, I received a letter to interview with my local health department for a Community Health Nurse position. I really want to accept the p...
