2. home care per visit pay

   RobinlynaRN replied to Bee_home care's topic in Home Health

   RUN!!! Run as fast as you can!!!! I am paid by the visit, and frankly it seems QUITE unfair! You cannot possibly do everything that case management requires you to do, and see your patients and document on them on a per visit basis!

   RobinlynaRN replied to starfishlpn's topic in LPN-RN

   Hi Starfish, I had been out of school for over 20 years when I bridged in. There was no way that my skills were up to date and no way that I could make up for anything that I might have lacked. I am proud to say that I graduate this weekend with a fi...

    RobinlynaRN replied to RubyRaven's topic in General Nursing

    I know it is frustrating, but the very best thing that you can do is call the State Board of NY and ask them. That way you aren't getting conflicting messages from people here, and left with more questions than answers! You might also want to speak w...

12. Roll Call, LPN to RN Students!!!

    RobinlynaRN replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in LPN-RN

    Congrats harvmania on your new license! It is hard for LVN's just starting to get into a specialty area, especially OB. I do recommend that you get into an acute care setting ASAP as keeping skills current will be hard in most LTC settings. You need ...
