1. Overworked Home health RN

   ErnBlz replied to jeepluv818's topic in Home Health

   I suggest you go somewhere else. If the RN managers aren't willing to go out there and help by doing oasis admits and discharges and supervisory visits, then they are just using you to be more profitable so they can get bonuses.
