2. Asked to not recertify d/t expensive supplies

   RENnurse4/17 replied to RENnurse4/17's topic in Home Health

   No and I would like to be more specific but I'm paranoid. Our "boss" and managers call us into meetings if they catch wind of clinicians talking amongst ourselves or "complaining" over our schedules, being too busy etc.... We have a high turnover and...

3. Asked to not recertify d/t expensive supplies

   RENnurse4/17 posted a topic in Home Health

   I was asked not to recertify a patient only going into her second episode. I believe it's because her supplies are expensive. I'm usually begged to keep patients for a second episode even if they are doing great. This patient isn't doing well at all ...

   Not a cashier. We had a front office that handled that. That seems like a lot. Have you accepted the offer?

6. HELP: Must choose Methadone Clinic Job Offer Tomorrow

   RENnurse4/17 replied to skittlebear's topic in Addictions

   I am leaving because I could just not get used to the early mornings (5am to 1pm) and the other nurses I worked with were gossipy and unfriendly. It's a small clinic in a rural area and I felt the gossip was unfair to the clients (everyone knows ever...

   You don't live in NC by any chance do you? I ask because I am actually leaving my job at a methadone clinic and my last day is this week.

9. Hospice...hostile and toxic work environment!

   RENnurse4/17 replied to RENnurse4/17's topic in Hospice

   TammyG, we usually go in to our office first thing in the morning, especially Mondays when we meet to talk about the what happened over the weekend with the patients. The difference is probably that it is a small hospice in a small town. If I need to...

10. Hospice on-call schedule

    RENnurse4/17 replied to fireball78's topic in Hospice

    We do one night a week and one weekend a month sometimes there is an extra weeknight or weekend day snuck in there. Unlike the last poster, there are no extra days off the week you are on call (on the weekend). We pretty much work twelve days straigh...

11. Hospice...hostile and toxic work environment!

    RENnurse4/17 replied to RENnurse4/17's topic in Hospice

    Thank you for your advice! I am on the job hunt and trying to stay focused on the positives of hospice while I do it! I really do feel like I'm out there all by myself with no backup. And I agree, it's definitely a job that needs support and teamwork...

12. Hospice...hostile and toxic work environment!

    RENnurse4/17 posted a topic in Hospice

    After almost 2 years as a hospice case manager, I'm finding the work environment to be increasingly toxic. My coworkers are backstabbing and gossipy. The sad part is that administration and management are in on it too. I'm pretty much getting in "tro...
