1. Pay Per Visit ... Good or Bad?

   nursedaddy123 replied to bringmeashrubbery's topic in Home Health

   Pay per visit seems to be a way to screw over nurses.

4. How many years of experience for home health?

   nursedaddy123 replied to Good Morning, Gil's topic in Home Health

   In Ohio, if you're not working at a small facility, you need at least a year they told me. I work at small agency and they just want a license and some hands on experience. Home Health has its own issues, but for now I like it better than the hospita...

6. I am done

   nursedaddy123 replied to emilysmom,RN's topic in Home Health

   Have you tried taking some handwriting classes? I have medium neatness handwriting. My job said something in the beginning but they're decent about it now. I still would like to improve it more.

7. Home health nursing... safe?? What about PSYCH HH nursing?

   nursedaddy123 replied to NurseCard's topic in Home Health

   Patient's homes are like battlefields where I'm at. I do regular Home Health. When you are in someone's home, they have rule, but as long as you're respectable they are okay. Give patients a couple day's notice before you visit them so to show them r...

8. Pay cut!

   nursedaddy123 replied to paddler's topic in Home Health

   That's bull! Does anyone know how much an agency gets paid per opening?

9. Admissions/corrections for other nurses...who is responsible

   nursedaddy123 replied to chenoaspirit's topic in Home Health

   Being a nice person with co-workers gets you screwed up in home health I think. I'm new too. Even if you open plenty of patients, do other people's jobs, and work your butt off it really doesn't matter. The next week comes and you're back to square o...

10. Do you have patients call late

    nursedaddy123 replied to emilysmom,RN's topic in Home Health

    My job gives us work cell phones. I one time, in a emergency, called a patient on my personal cell and she still to this day has my number and calls occasionally for random things like pill boxes. I told her she could call my work cell and she said s...

11. What kind of shoes do you wear for work?

    nursedaddy123 replied to missie1's topic in Uniform/Gear

    When I do occasional case managing in patient's homes, I wear the Nike Air Goadome Boots! These are necessary in people's homes. I've had ankle dogs gnaw at these shoes, I've had to kick open doors and dogs with these babies, and more. Home Health Nu...

13. What is the first thing you are going to buy once you are a nurse?

    nursedaddy123 replied to Living4Peace's topic in Male Students

    I bought an iPad 2 that I just recently sold for a Mac Mini. I love Apple!

14. Easiest and Toughest Classes In UT Arlington RN-BSN Program

    nursedaddy123 replied to commonsense's topic in Texas (UTA)

    Hey Meriwhen, I am also taking the class now. I am having a hard time with it. I will definitely try to start early as you say. I follow the book and lab manual verbatim. That Common Errors Sheet seems to be my downfall. Sometimes while following the...

15. iPhone app!

    nursedaddy123 replied to freebirdRN86's topic in General Nursing

    It would be cool if they'd enable it to work on Tapatalk (iPhone App for forums).
