  4. Medicare Fraud?

    Hi, I am working in HH and I love the actual work, it is the charting that drives me crazy. My supervisors keep changing my OASIS/ assesment answers to ones that just aren't true, especially in functional scores. I am guessing that the aagency gets p...

  7. How many NPs have had to prescribe or diagnose a patient?

    Geeze, scanning too fast and misread it as How many NP's does it take to diagnose a patient? I thought it was a joke, like how many politicians does it take to screw in a light bulb! Actually, I think I like mine better. So- what do you think? How m...
  8. FNP curriculum

    Hi, I am about 9 months into the 2.5 year FNP program at Indiana Wesleyan and I feel like I am repeating high school and undergrad. In the last nine months we have covered the three branches of government and their duties (high school civics), how t...

    I thought so too! Makes sense to me, but, no. When I worked for hospice and had a lot of local patients, I could not get paid at all for mileage a lot of days. In this job, (HH) I can easily drive 85 miles to my first patient, 85 home, and maybe 10-1...

    Hi, just starting in HH and looking for apps that would allow me to track number of visits per day, oncall days/pay, total mileage, business expenses, etc. This agency pays .25 per mile and subtracts 42 miles per day that they consider to/from work. ...
  13. Primary Care Nursing Program at Indiana Wesleyan University

    Hi, I am slated to start in Nov 2015, but have concerns that they are so vague about the financial aid. What has your experience been? I have never heard of a school that does not reveal financial aid umtil AFTER classes start. I don't want to be bli...
  14. New to LTAC

    Hi, I have been a nurse about 5 years, and have done mostly hospice with some LTC (about a year) and chronic dialysis (about 6 months), with hospice being the most recent. I am worried that I have forgotten a lot of things I will need. Any suggestio...
  15. Do you know anyone who has graduated and passed the licensing exam? How hard was it to set up your clinicals? What is the eval process re: clinicals? Did you have to pay your clinical instructors? Thanks, Jennifer
