1. Nurse Week Goodies, funniest ones you've seen

   Maybe, slightlymental_RN. However, it does confirm my belief that nursing does drive a person to drink!

2. Dept. of Human Services nurse ??

   tk3100 replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Nursing

   I saw the position you are talking about, I think. I took it as someone that administers the non-skilled waiver programs that the home health agencies staff. The DHS folks make referrals to the home health agencies that do non-skilled waiver services...

3. Oasis review/ Coder

   tk3100 replied to tk3100's topic in Home Health

   I just think that that many active patient cases for 485 reviews and oasis review and submit alone is enough to make a person crazy. I am not a certified coder, but I had more home health experience than almost any of the clinicians and supervisors.

4. Oasis review/ Coder

   tk3100 replied to tk3100's topic in Home Health

   I agree with that. I am still reeling over being fired yesterday due to "poor performance". I really do not know what else she wanted from me. She said that there were missing recerts and I should have known this. This follows a state survey that I w...

5. If we had a conservative nurses forum

   tk3100 replied to FLmomof5's topic in Activism

   A proud, southern conservative to add to your list:)

6. Oasis review/ Coder

   tk3100 posted a topic in Home Health

   I am wondering. How many cases should one person be responsible to review and submit oasis for? Is there a maximum amount? My agency requires that I am responsible for approx 650. We have a relatively new computer system within the last year and many...

7. RN Salary survey

   tk3100 replied to RNnurse07's topic in General Nursing

   Nursing supervisor, just hired, in LTC. I think my salary breaks down to about $21.50 per hour. I live near Fort Smith, Arkansas (second largest city in the state).

8. anyone??????

   I did it with a toddler and a crumbling marriage while working weekends. Very difficult, but it can be done.

   Virgo here. Worked ICU, surgery, and home health/hospice.

10. whats the diffrence ???

    tk3100 replied to beachbound1023's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like you have been lied to! No, you must do an LPN program to be able to take the nclex(nursing licensure test) and then be licensed in your state as a nurse. I'm so sorry for you.

11. UA Fort Smith??

    tk3100 replied to cancergirl24's topic in Arkansas

    Well, you would think that curriculum would be the same wherever, but I am told by a couple of people I know that started at UAFS and went to another school afterward that they found a difference. One was in the LPN program and failed a test then wen...

12. UA Fort Smith??

    tk3100 replied to cancergirl24's topic in Arkansas

    I did both the LPN and ADN programs there. Yes, the curriculum is tough. The pass rate is high for nclex as compared to other schools statewide. I don't really know the instructors there now, as I finished my ADN in 1997. I can say that I got much mo...

13. Sarah P's views regarding nursing issues

    tk3100 replied to bossynurse101's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure where this number comes from, but I pay less than $275/mo for insurance for my family of four. This is with a $2500 deductable, but as you well know that is the equivalent of 15 min in the ER. After the deductable all is paid at 80%. All I h...

    Thank you for your responses! I tried to do the research online for myself, but I didn't understand what I was reading. You've been a big help.
