    Software for RN Oversight

    I haven't used Therap, but on a personal level I use an app called Hours Keeper. I use it to track how much time I devote to one person or activity. I use an Outlook calendar for everything else.
  2. We all benefit from position changes, and I would strongly recommend working with a PT for an evaluation. Perhaps a local DME vendor sponsors a seating clinic where a PT can work with the DME provider to try and get the right piece of equipment. Med...

    What to expect

    Tell you what I know of specialized private duty nursing - very little downtime, maybe at night there is more. The cases I'm familiar with nurses were responsible for all ADL's, they help with homework if applicable, read, do ROM, reposition, assist ...

    new job/ pay

    Do I understand that you are getting paid per visit and not hourly? Is this specialized private duty nursing, or home health? I'm currently in process of applying for a home health position and the wage is hourly.

    You can always check out the DDNA (Developmental Disabilities Nursing Association) for more resources. They also hold an annual conference. Plus you can become certified! Love the job - love the field.

    Health Dept. pay and work enviroment

    Although that is a really low pay rate, it's not the only place where RN's are poorly paid. Clinic nurses for a large health care provider in WI were being offered $17.00/hr a couple of years ago. I made more in an LTC as an LPN. It's too bad the p...

    I'm a new grad interested in Public Health

    Follow your heart and your head. If it's what you really want to do, pursue it. If the PH agencies in your area require you to get some hospital experience first, than do so, but don't lose sight of your goal to work in Public Health. Good luck.

    Educations requirements to be PHN

    Most positions I seen require a BSN or equal amounts of work history to substitute.
