    Same thing is happening in Indiana. LPN's getting the cush "clinic jobs" because they cost less. I'm an RN, never thought I'd be scrambling for work.

  7. Can you have a life AND do HH?

    I have been in HH for 10 years. This last week was when the line was drawn into the sand, and I said enough was enough. The agency I work for is private owner/family run agency. Not such a bad idea, however there is never a let up on the demands. SOC...

  13. "Fee Basis" Exemption for Home Health Nurses

    Yes, the pay per visit is a means to cheat nurses out of their rightfully due pay. The agency I worked for changed from hourly to pay per visit with the bold remark they were doing it 'so we dont have to pay overtime". Two very large national HHA h...

  15. Obamacare Survives, Supreme Court Rescues 'Big Health'

    I've spoken to several Canadians who've left Canada to seek medical attention..."from the USA broken system" They are all in horror in seeing what is happening here. Socialized medicine does not work.
