1. How do you guys do it for so long?

   ap05 replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

   I left acute care and took control of my choice in employment. Once you hit 2 years of experience, in my opinion doors open, so use it to your advantage. I work one part time job that gives benefits and always hold an enjoyable PRN. I also got a m...

2. Work for multiple companies?

   ap05 replied to ap05's topic in Home Health

   I won't be case managing so I wonder if that makes a difference. For my new company it will be SOCs and revisits to help the full timers as its a PT position. My old job I'd stay on for SOC only. To me the issue is these companies technically do co...

3. Work for multiple companies?

   ap05 posted a topic in Home Health

   Is that seen as a conflict of interest? I currently work for a private company but am thinking of taking a pt job at a hospital based hh company. I don't know if I'd feel comfortable bringing it up to either but staying PRN at my current company, wo...

   ap05 replied to NightingmaleRN's topic in Home Health

   Our wipes are disinfectant wipes, not cavicide or anything. Not sure the active ingredient.

5. Employer not offering COVID 19 vaccine in CA

   ap05 replied to NightingmaleRN's topic in Home Health

   Surgical masks are the only PPE required. For covid pts full PPE, however there are so many questions with that. I wear an n95 by choice if I feel at risk or if I've been around people in order to protect pts.

6. Employer not offering COVID 19 vaccine in CA

   ap05 replied to NightingmaleRN's topic in Home Health

   We have been asked if we want it but not officially offered. I guess at some point we will get it but who knows when. I actually have really struggled with hh and covid. We just haven't had any guidance. I'm frequently very nervous going into homes,...

7. I need advice. I work PRN for a Home Health Company who has not been able to make payroll on time twice now. What should I do?

   ap05 replied to guest825264's topic in Home Health

   I bet we work for the same company. I personally have multiple jobs so I'm not hurting but this is totally ridiculous to me. I'm silently looking for a different part time/prn job. I like what I do and its really a perfect fit for me but this financi...

   Not true. I left the hospital for a pay increase.

9. PDGM

   ap05 replied to CaliHHRN's topic in Home Health

   I dont know that I fully understand everything about it, but what I do understand kind of scares me. Our manager keeps using phrasing like "getting creative with visits" and "more with less" so that worries me. I plan on doing more research. Interest...

10. Md referral/pt education

    ap05 posted a topic in Home Health

    Something that confuses me a bit....when we get an md referral for nursing care and therapy why do we have the responsibility of saying there is no nursing need? I have run into a couple circumstances where the pt was referred for nursing, I schedule...

11. Email from dfpr??

    ap05 replied to futurenurse93_'s topic in General Nursing

    It is automated but I found it pretty offensive. I understand it is just for information, just kind of unnecessary in my opinion.

12. Coordination of care

    ap05 posted a topic in Home Health

    Hi I'm new to home health. I've done a couple other types of nursing and so far I really like home health. I'm only part time...I honestly don't know how anyone does this full time. The amount of phone calls I make for even 5 or 6 patients is insane....

13. Does anyone here actually like nursing?

    ap05 replied to Sumdaymurse's topic in General Nursing

    So this. I really love being a nurse but there are many nurses roles I really dislike. I've had a few jobs so I'm getting to the point of knowing where I fit. You really need to know your strengths to find a good place in nursing. Plus there is so mu...

    Hello all I taught college anatomy and phys, and microbiology for many years prior to nursing, so teaching is something I am passionate about. I made a career change as I've always been interested in nursing and I've been an rn a couple years now. I ...

15. Advice on path to follow

    ap05 posted a topic in Educators

    I am a nurse with 2 years experience. I was a career changer and before nursing I taught college level science for about 7 years. I truly love teaching, and I do feel I am good at it. My motivation to become a nurse was my love for education and I a...
