   morningmom posted a topic in Home Health

   I finally found a company to give me a chance. I am still training, but so far, I LOVE IT. Just like any other job, and in other occupations, I know there will be many trials, but from what I have seen so far, I will take the bad with the good! So...

   morningmom replied to hoolahan's topic in Home Health

   I just had orientation for HH! I was in SNF prior. It has taken me 3 months to finally get a break, but I got it! :)

   You probably know this by now, but I talked to the DON the other day and she said they no longer do interviews.

   morningmom replied to barleany78's topic in Ohio

   I dont remember how long it took, but they do have an interview process first. I dont think it took too long after that. (That is of course, they havent changed it)

7. Abused by A&O Residents

   morningmom replied to MisMatch's topic in Geriatric

   When I was working in SNF we had a resident who came in and was just horribly mean! She was my least favorite resident ever. She would refuse meds constantly, not just refusing but when we would get her to take them (in as) she would spit it out at...

9. Anyone get their degree from Akron Institute?

   morningmom replied to barleany78's topic in Ohio

   I am thinking their next start date is April, and I believe the next following will be in August. I know I posted it somewhere on the boards what their schedule was, but that was well over a year ago...and I lost track.

10. You told me so....

    morningmom posted a topic in Home Health

    I went to my interview with Maxim yesterday...I knew I would be offered lower pay, but wow. I figured I'd check it out myself, it couldnt hurt, all I loss was a little time. After filling out the paperwork, and taking a short test, I talked to the g...

    morningmom replied to morningmom's topic in Home Health

    Thanks caliotter. I get the whole bending rules thing, I am ok with it...But what I was being asked to do was way beyond bending rules and the like. I like what you suggested and I will probably use that. I knew how you felt about Maxim, I have rea...

12. You know the untouched left over food items on pt trays>

    morningmom replied to NanikRN's topic in General Nursing

    It isn't only the sanitary end of it...It is a safety issue. I think a lot of us forget that there are horrible people in this world that will do whatever they can to cause harm to random other people.

13. Can't break in!

    morningmom replied to morningmom's topic in Home Health

    Funny you should say that...3 hours after I posted that, I got a call from Maxim for an interview Wednesday. From everything I read, it isnt the best place to work, but I will be able to get my foot in the door into the HH world. I REALLY want to ...

14. Can't break in!

    morningmom posted a topic in Home Health

    Just a little vent, and maybe someone can give me some insight. I can not get a job in HH to save my life! I have put my resume out everywhere...including Maxim. I had a phone interview with Gentiva, and that turned out to be for only one job...so ...

15. documenting

    morningmom replied to DDdove's topic in Geriatric

    I figured I'd put in my .02 and tell you what I would do. Skilled/medicare residents have a full head to toe q 24 hours. Each shift splits up the resdients and it rotates that way each shift does not do the same resident every day (with the exceptio...
