1. Trend for PT doing RN role?

   smrslr replied to Floater In FL's topic in Home Health

   Our PTs don't do labs, but yes PT's can be case managers, you do not have to have an RN case manager. We have several PT only patients which means they get no nursing at all. If an acute issue comes about that requires a skill of a nurse, then we h...

2. Chart Corrections/Fraud?

   smrslr replied to MotoRN34's topic in Home Health

   Being properly trained in OASIS is key. In any home health setting, I would suggest taking OASIS training or reading CMS guidelines and see what it is really asking. Are they asking you to change your charting or change your OASIS....Remember CMS i...

   I tested today too, I got 75 but it was sooo hard! Idk why I thought it wouldn't be lol. I'm too nervous to try PVT. I jad lots of select alls and infection control too. Very little drugs, no math. Several psych

4. Homehealth Salary exempt help!

   smrslr replied to nursetx2016's topic in Home Health

   The HH company I work for (also in TX) do on call pay, even salaried. They said you they have to give on call pay if you are on call, whether you get called or not. We also have around 400 patients and calls aren't that hectic and our company is re...

5. Education Conspiracy

   smrslr replied to Avid reader's topic in ADN/BSN

   1000 likes! There is such a big push and pressure to continuously advance and obtain the next level degree, which is great....but what would happen if everyone advanced their careers to the NP or administrative roles? You have to have bedside nurses!...

   smrslr replied to Avid reader's topic in ADN/BSN

   Whichever side of the fence you sit on, at the end of the day, we all bear the same "RN" after our name and sit for the same state board exam. As far as critical thinking goes, ADN and BSN are expected to graduate with the same clinical reasoning ski...

   smrslr replied to vanessa0710's topic in School Programs

   Shabba, the transisions first semester is an 8 week class and starts mid October. They don't get to those applications until all the generic students are processed. We start back up on Monday, so they will probably start calling after that, but I wan...

   As of now the only summer classes are for the transition students that start in the spring. Generic ADNS take fundamentals/Med Surg 1 in the fall, and the fall transitions take a transition course. Then they all take Med Surg 2 and Pedi in the spring...

    It's going ok. For transition, your first semester is an 8 week transition class, and it's one day a week, and honestly like a waste of time, LOL. After that you merge in with the "generic" class and for the most part you are in class for 2 days a we...

    They're really slow with the accepting process...I wouldn't look for them to call until probably July! Hang in there. For transition, it took forever and then they called us to come test like in a weeks notice, and then test again, and then maybe cal...

    smrslr replied to FutureRN_2016's topic in School Programs

    I applied for the Fall 2015 LVN-RN transitional. The deadline for apps is May 15. How long does it take for them to contact you to schedule a HESI and what about the blue card? Doesn't seem like a whole lot of time from now until August!

    I did not go to Lee College for the LVN program. I turned in my application and everything I needed, so now it's just the waiting game!
