2. Case Managers???

   PamSICURN replied to cynthiamc's topic in Home Health

   I have worked with both scenarios. I like being the field nurse and the case manager. That way, I know everything going on with the patient and in some cases, the family. I just don't think that someone in the office, who has never seen the patien...

3. Help!

   PamSICURN replied to pocovan's topic in Home Health

   I'm glad you'll give us another shot! And I'm glad they are going to orient you with someone else. Yes, I wear scrubs. There is nothing else quite as comfortable to work in for me. (besides, I have a zillion). Coming from the ICU myself, I find ...

4. Help!

   PamSICURN replied to pocovan's topic in Home Health

   For some reason, I have seen nurses in all areas (HH, ICU etc) do this. I think that they have some strong psych issues to make themselves feel better or more superior at the expense of others. Please do not judge all HH nurses by this one's action...

6. Do you ever miss working w/ other nurses?

   PamSICURN replied to RN1263's topic in Home Health

   I too, do not miss having other nurses around all the time. When I need to be sociable, then I go to the office for awhile. There's always something to do there (chart audits, etc.). One of the reasons that I chose HH was the autonomy and not havi...

8. Weekly Client Requirements?

   PamSICURN replied to HealinghandsRN's topic in Home Health

   Hi healinghands, Welcome to the world of HH! In my agency we just went to CM. I have worked for another agency where we did CM so it wasn't difficult for me to make the transition. Some of the other RNs are having a hard time with it though. I lik...

9. Fingerstick Protimes

   PamSICURN replied to SWRN84's topic in Home Health

   We use them all the time. I have had good and bad results with them. Sometimes I have to stick more than once. As a whole though, I would say that I like having the results right then and can call and get change in dosages.

10. Calling all HH Nurses, roll call

    PamSICURN replied to hoolahan's topic in Home Health

    good Lucck to you. I've been in HH for 3 yrs now from the ICU and love it. The only difference you should face as an RN is the paperwork (yuk). It's so great though, the patients make up for the paperwork Good Luck, again! Pam
