1. Medicaid paid company, but company didn't pay me! ADVICE PLEASE!!!

   edwardsrn62 replied to edwardsrn62's topic in Private Duty

   I read all the laws on labor board in sc and it states an employer is allowed to decrease an employee's pay but only with a written notice one week in advance. Unfortunately for me, I signed the contract which I'd bet serves as their "one week".

   edwardsrn62 replied to edwardsrn62's topic in Private Duty

   I contacted the Medicaid case worker as she does home visits and we have team meetings every few months so I have met her in person during these times. She gave me her business card and did if I ever had any questions to contact her, which is what I ...

   Very true... don't just say oh well I'll just not learn this part and I'll study harder later because it was all building on top of each other

4. Does Micro + Chem I = Death

   edwardsrn62 replied to mrlqn2's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Wise? Probably not... But I am living proof it can be done. I took Micro and Chem 1 over a summer semester (only 6 weeks to cover all 16 weeks of material). I also worked as a waitress 6 hours every evening 5 nights a week and had an infant at home. ...

   edwardsrn62 replied to edwardsrn62's topic in Private Duty

   Ugggh! This is getting so frustrating. I checked out the link you put up and that's exactly what I've been looking find... only for sc instead of nc. The search has been super unsuccessful. I contacted Medicaid and they seem to have no clue what I'm ...

   I never mentioned that in my initial post. I agree with you that new grads may be able to work PDN but as I have learnedthe hard way they need to make sure they are working for a good company, with clear concise information and have a good nursing su...

   edwardsrn62 replied to edwardsrn62's topic in Private Duty

   Thank you all for your responses. This has truly taught me allot. I feel as though I had made an honest mistake, and it has turned into a huge issue. I absolutely see now why new grads should not do home health or PD nursing. I fully take responsibil...

10. Medicaid paid company, but company didn't pay me! ADVICE PLEASE!!!

    edwardsrn62 replied to edwardsrn62's topic in Private Duty

    Oh also, I was given absolutely no orientation. They did have all the nurses go to the patients house to meet the family the day the patient was released from the hospital. We all were told to stay for two hours to "meet and greet" with the family bu...

    It was hard... I was a single mother going for my BSN, RN. My son was 7 months old when I started. I bartended at night, went to school during the day, and cleaned 2-3 homes on the side for extra cash. It was hard. I was condemned A-LOT by A-LOT of p...
