Peachpit

Anyone work or worked for Amedisys in the past year or two? I have been contacted by a recruiter for a weekend baylor position. He tells me the company has changed/improved a lot of things in the past few years as I told him I was hesitant about the ...

This isn't a traditional home health RN Case Management position - it's a CM position for patients receiving private duty care. If there is a difference in what the company pays for mileage and the government allowance if the company pays less ...

For CM's who see patients in their homes weekly/biweekly or monthly, how far do you travel in an average day? I've been offered a position that requires patients to be seen once weekly/biweekly or monthly as determined by their needs with recert...

LTC and Home Health are within nursing, just a different speciality than acute, etc. As far as any job being better than no job, guess it depends on if you are in a position you need your bills paid.

Though hospitals scream they need nurses they are notoriously slow to respond to applicants..part of that is the ebb/flow of when new grads hit the market. Hospitals can bring them on for a lot less than an experienced nurse. You may have to bro...

Davita Dialysis, home health agencys and also the VA are options. Health Departments too. Seems really extreme measures from the BON just for CPR issue given you never had another issues. Ridiculous. I'm sorry you are going through this.

No need for anyone to comment as I found out my answer today - company definitely the same as before - still deserves the negative reviews from employees.

I currently work a M-F position in an occupational health clinic. The job is 20 min. from my home, clinic hours are 7:30 a-4:30p, benefits, because of company size, are high priced insurance and 5 hours of PTO a YEAR. I work alone in a small, cement...

I accepted a weekend on call position a few months ago. The position was to be Sat/Sun only and the offer letter stated "weekend on call" but no specific hours. I confirmed with HR and the Administrator it was Sat/Sun only (48 hrs total). ...

I would request an in person meeting with the family, yourself and you clinical manager or whoever you report to so there can be a discussion/rediscussion of expectations from both sides. Your manager should've already stepped in and spoken to the fa...

Both my undergrad and grad degree are from Brenau. Loved the school and the program, hated the cost!

I don't know specfics but I can tell you Athens Tech has an excellent reputation and I have worked with nurses who have graduated from there who seemed well educated and experienced.

Fraud to leave a job off a resume? What states would that be...?

Most travel agencies require recent (with in a year) experience. If you are wanting to travel I would suggest applying for PRN jobs close to you. That would satisfy the travel requirement and also get you back into the swing of things. Doesn't sound ...

I would focus on school and kids and only school and kids if I were in your place. You are thinking WAY too far ahead and creating anxiety that doesn't need to be. You have several more years to go before graduation. A LOT can change for you personal...

I went back and asked for an updated compenstation and schedule in writing as well as mileage clarification, the nursing bag, badge and car stock that I should have in addition to the forms for revocations/deaths/admissions as suggested. I have ...

If they are documenting assessments done and haven't actually done the assessment then its not a trend, it's fraud and that needs to be addressed with the nursing leadership at the facility.

There is no harm is talking to your manager about going back. At least you would know, definitely, if going back to Onc would be an option. The manager may say no then you can decide how to move on from there or if the manager agrees then you can dec...

Only in California...

I know this post is old but I will throw my 2 cents in..I accepted an on call weekend position a few months ago. 5pm Fri to 8 am Monday, census averages 20 patients. There is an answering service but no triage so all calls fall to me. There is ...

No, not abandonment. What your supervisor is doing is trying to cover as much of the schedule as she can and using "soft guilt" (repeatedly asking you to do PRN) to string out your time because its easier for her to keep visits covered. You gave her ...

I know this thread is old but I am wondering what the OP decided to do? I moved into a weekend on call position a few months ago instead of moving back into the hospital setting. And I regret it. While the position is not physically or tec...

Most hospices, at least in the area I work, either don't have Admission Nurses per se or the Admission Nurses have worked in hospice for several years. Whatever hospice you apply to ask if they have a dedicated on call team, a lot of the larger...

You are not alone, have had this happen to me as have many others on this site. Move on and count your blessings you don't work for a company that plays these types of games. Interviewing for jobs goes both ways though HR seems to forget that.

First, do not let one nasty person color your whole view of yourself - especially a virtually stranger that at the end of your life you won't remember their name (I know, easier said than done). You have what sounds like two things going on here...
