   fastaff.com was the agency looking for nurses for Harvey. I have not seen anything for Irma but I know they'll be needed.

4. Say what...?

   hawkfdc replied to kidzcare's topic in School

   How interesting that this conversation is here today. I don't necessarily have teachers sending me kids at the end of the day but they do question my clinical judgement which flips me out. I'm in a middle school and I allow kids to call for whatever ...

6. Nurses fired for refusing flu vaccine

   hawkfdc replied to BrandybunsRN's topic in COVID

   There comes a time in everyone's life where enough is enough. I reached mine about two and a half months ago and I left direct patient care because I was tired of being force fed CMS regulatory kool aid anymore. I was shanghai-ed at 4am by the HR nu...

   hawkfdc replied to kcmylorn's topic in Activism

   I'm a home health RN for another week or so (getting the he** out of healthcare). This readmit thing is getting bad. The reality for those of you in bedside nursing and PCP offices is that I can only do so much with a stethoscope and a blood pressu...

11. New nice car

    hawkfdc replied to tinderbox's topic in Home Health

    Um yeah, I wouldn't buy a new care in home health. I did somewhere around 38000 miles per year in the last two years in home health. I wouldn't take a new car financial hit (let someone else take the depreciation) of buying a new car knowing that I...

    hawkfdc replied to QTBabyNurse's topic in Home Health

    Its hard to determine what the hourly rate works out to because like the other posts said, we bring our paperwork home with us-sit in front of the tv and write out nursing notes. But if you are independent enough and want flexibility along with mone...

    hawkfdc replied to smartandgrit's topic in Home Health

    I made the transition to home health nearly a year ago and am so glad I did. Enchantment basically summed it all up. If you are organized, like to drive and can not let things bother you too much then you can do home health. Some have said salary ...
