Just curious what your companies expectations are for number of visits and time spent in patients home? Do you complete charting at patients bedside or your own bedside and how many hours do you estimate you spend on charting away from bedside. Going on 15 years in Hospice and still struggle with charting even with computer. I know I am not alone in this. Patients first , right ?
Hi Deb,
Thanks for the reply and good luck on your new endeavor. You mentioned the 7 week online course, ALNCC based. Was that through a local college ? The Kaplan program is close to $4000 for the certificate program. I have not officially signed up yet and won't do it under pressure. I just really want to get started on it ! Thanks again for the reply.
Hi everyone,
I know this is what I want to do and am ready to take the plunge! I have been an RN for 20+ years primarily in Palliative Care for the past 12 years. I love being a nurse(on most days) but I so enjoy the law and know this is the direction for me. I have an appointment with an Attorney to find out what views he has on LNC's. I have investigated many programs including VMI, Kaplan and ALNCC. VMI basic would appeal to me if DVDs and Seminar were included but that is only in the Executive plan.Kaplan is waiting for my answer. I have the motivation but I need the education with formats to follow.Any thoughts? I need to make decision STAT !! Thanks
