1. Need help with job offers!!

   livelaughlove09 replied to MotoRN34's topic in Home Health

   I would definitely clarify the on call responsibilities. If you will be case managing I see a future of assessments for you and not many routine visits. Will you be working with an LPN? In that case, and if your agency has a steady census and refer...

2. Need help with job offers!!

   livelaughlove09 replied to MotoRN34's topic in Home Health

   I wouldn't do salary home health unless your agency has an issue with census and referrals. There's a lot more to examine here, what is expected productivity? How far will you be traveling? Are there on call responsibilities? Do you case manage o...

3. Overworked Home health RN

   livelaughlove09 replied to jeepluv818's topic in Home Health

   1 RN for 350 patients is ludicrous. there is no way you can provide any type of quality care for those patients. Your agency is also probably not getting your LPN supervisory visits completed as required. Home Health is difficult to staff and kee...

4. Nurses who hate patients - advice

   livelaughlove09 posted a topic in Relations

   I'm afraid I'm too idealistic. I'm actually reeling and so irritated I want to jump out of my skin. Here's my situation... I want to spew all the information but of course you never know who's reading so I'll just be somewhat vague. I work on a bu...

5. Home Health RNs: mileage reimbursement?

   livelaughlove09 replied to iridium54's topic in Home Health

   Usually the mileage is not paid to the first patient and from the last patient to your house but everything is in between. That's odd. Mileage is a big deal, it adds up quickly, and is sometimes the only reimbursement you get for your time when you...

   livelaughlove09 replied to DeepDimples's topic in North Carolina

   Hi there! I graduated from Mercy and was in the accelerated program. Mercy gets two thumbs up from me. They have a fantastic program with knowledgeable educators and give you every opportunity for success when you apply yourself. Accelerated stude...

7. Where does the job end?

   livelaughlove09 replied to MomRN0913's topic in Home Health

   That's a terrible shame the experience you had. I'm sorry for that. Not all agencies are like that. Good luck to you.

8. Where does the job end?

   livelaughlove09 replied to MomRN0913's topic in Home Health

   Same thing. Work all day, try to get all charting done in home and handle issues there but it can put you in a time crunch if you're carrying a full or overfull load. I myself would work 24/7 if I didn't have other responsibilities. Love the job. ...

9. New to home health

   livelaughlove09 replied to MakemehappyRN's topic in Home Health

   All this really depends on the agency. I never considered home health, in fact it was at the bottom (rock bottom) of my list of nursing jobs I was interested in doing. Surprise surprise! I love home health. I am paid per visit and there is never ...

10. Do you have this problem too?

    livelaughlove09 replied to nursynurseRN's topic in Home Health

    I like to schedule with mine for their next visit as well, I just can't lock down a time with them unless day they're the closest ones to my house. I have a very large area and we get SOC's the day before so I never know until the night before after...

11. Home Health RNs: mileage reimbursement?

    livelaughlove09 replied to iridium54's topic in Home Health

    I shouldn't be giggling at this but I am. You'll get it in a second. You HAVE to be reimbursed mileage, and run run run if you don't. I actually bought a car to use for work (used...4w drive) because I didn't want to run up the mileage on my famil...

12. Do you have this problem too?

    livelaughlove09 replied to nursynurseRN's topic in Home Health

    "if you have a better social life than I do, you're not homebound." :)

13. Do you have this problem too?

    livelaughlove09 replied to nursynurseRN's topic in Home Health

    I have this problem sometimes. I'll tell you what I do. First let me say I am NOT the most organized person, but it can bite me sometimes, so i just keep it simple. I make my schedule for the next week late in the week (Thursday or Friday.) I alwa...

14. Failed NCLEX with Kaplan..bummed

    livelaughlove09 replied to Lucy12784's topic in NCLEX

    Kaplan is supposed to give you a money back guarantee. At least they did when they pitched it to my school. I didn't personally use them, because they told me they didn't review content in the course I thought it was pointless.

15. So we want to be respected as educated professionals?

    livelaughlove09 replied to Guttercat's topic in General Nursing

    Then again, some of it could be the forum, because it just reformatted my last post.
