I left an agency that I was working for last week. I gave them 2 weeks notice and last week, my last week, I told the nursing supervisor that I would give her report on Friday (my last day).. I got a call Wednesday from the office stating that Friday would not be good and that the nurse that would be taking my patients wanted to meet with me to get report... So, I called the office and spoke with that nurse (she was in the office at that time) and she said she was off Thursday but could meet. Remind you, I would take time out of my schedule that day to meet with her... I had quite a few patients to see that day. I called her that AM cuz I had a person with a PEG tube that needed a lot of help and I was at their house for an hour and a half. WHen I called the nurse it was aorund 10 and she said I could come to her home and we could go over patients, but she had to leave at 10:30... I went over there. When I did go there I gave report on patients with last names A-H and she had no paper, wrote nothing down, and then after 15 minutes said "I have to leave to meet a loan guy" and she left. SHe never called me Friday and that was my last day. I did send a spreadsheet to my administrator and brought copies of this week's schedule for her (which would have been mine), the nursing supervisor, and the scheduler... So, her work was cut out for this week.. The spreadsheet has all my patient's last visit date, next visit date, frequencies... What else do you need? Now, she calls yesterday and today saying she wants report and I Legally have to give it... I told her my last day was Friday... Anyways.... I need advice on this situation...
A communication form is nothing more than a blank form with the agency identifying data on the top, perhaps a few check-off boxes at the top for reasons for submission such as "change in condition", and "death of patient", or "additional information", and a page full of blank lines following the check off boxes. At the bottom of the form, there might be a line for signature, printed name and date of submission.

Lulu, I'd love to see that form. If I PM you, would you be able to fax or email it to me?
