  1. "Clinical manager"

    Thanks for the replies. Kate, that's quite a job description and is not what is happening in my agency. Thanks for the info!
  2. "Clinical manager"

    Hello all, In our office we have an LVN who is the Clinical Manager. I'm working on revamping some things in this agency, and I was just wondering: does your agency have a clinical manager and what exactly does he/she do? I appreciate any help you ve...
  3. I don't blame you for that. I used to work at a prison, and this one inmate had swastikas and other "white power" type things tattooed on him. Several of the other nurses saw these and immediately did not care to help him (he was having difficulty ...
  4. It's sad to say, but it is typical of "religious" people to wonder how in the world anyone could be offended by the OP question, and imply that those of us without a belief in any god still have some kind of faith. How can you say that an atheist is ...

  9. Supervisory visits

    The patient is out of town for an MD appointment. He is most definitely homebound, has dialysis 3x per week, and is an amputee. So if a sup visit is due, but pt is out of town for MD appt, then what?
  10. Supervisory visits

    Hello, I work at a small rural home health agency. For patients with aides, the RN usually sees the patient every other week for a supervisory visit. My question is, what if the sup visit is due, and the patient is out of town? What are the Medicar...
