  1. Stress and Work Guilt

    Peachpit replied to throwaway1's topic in Health, Stress Management

    If you were stable on medications please re think having stopped them. So many times people will think they are better once they are on medications for an illness/disease process (of any kind) then...

  2. Is it me or is hiring at Kaiser Permanente a joke?

    Peachpit replied to MsBlissful's topic in Nursing Career

    While I am still hoping this position rolls out, I am interviewing with other places and where I am working part time has a FT position opening up so I may just end up moving into that. I have heard...

  3. Stay or go?

    Peachpit replied to summertx's topic in General Specialties

    If the job is effecting you like this chronically (meaning it's more than just a couple of tough days), go because sticking it out will only drive you further down emotionally and physically and no...

  4. Feeling overworked. Is this normal?

    Peachpit replied to Jessica1019's topic in Home Health

    Unfortunately, this is normal for home health, at least most of them, now. Most home health agencies/home health recruiters, paint an idyllic picture of productivity/points/salary/mileage etc but...

  5. Is it me or is hiring at Kaiser Permanente a joke?

    Peachpit replied to MsBlissful's topic in Nursing Career

    I see some of the posts on this thread are relatively new so I thought I would let everyone know my experience thus far with Kaiser. I applied for an outpatient position in May, was interviewed about...

  6. Help with salary as Home Health nurse

    Peachpit replied to cadela0713's topic in Home Health

    Some companies, like Amedisys, pay on the point system do depending on what you do (regular visit, admission) you are paid a certain amount no matter how long that visit may take. There is also...

  7. New Nurse in Home Health

    Peachpit replied to CookieRoo9413's topic in Home Health

    You posts is exactly why a lot of nurses, even seasoned ones, end up leaving HH. Myself included. The points/productivity and user unfriendly HCHB/promisepoint is just chronically stressful and there...

  8. Home health!

    Peachpit replied to Curious nurse's topic in Home Health

    As others have posted, that is a heavy load and there is no way, especially if you are new to HH you will finish everything in 8

  9. Home Health Driving?

    Peachpit replied to freesia29's topic in Home Health

    HH is Georgia pay mileage though most deduct the first 15 miles and the last or similar. No way I would drive the amount you are without being compensated in some

  10. charting!!!! I am about to leave home health...

    Peachpit replied to principessaGG's topic in Home Health

    Exactly why I, along with a lot of other nurses, leave home health. The points/productivity on top of the Oasis has changed HH a lot and not for the better. While SOME nurses can knock out a...

  11. VA PACT RN Question

    Peachpit replied to carnnurse08616's topic in Government, Military

    I worked at a CBOC as a PACT RN. It was basically just like working at an MD office. M-F 5-4:30, break for lunch, vital signs, medical history, sometimes do lab work if the on site lab was busy,...

  12. Biden loves nurses...awkward

    Peachpit replied to Nurse Beth's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Thank you but no. I see enough of his "successful both in national policy and in international coalition building" in my higher taxes, increased crime, inflation..not to mention all the extreme "woke"...

  13. I Made A Serious Medication Error: Help!

    Peachpit replied to Hailey.B's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with klone. Take a deep breath, several if you have to and know you did not kill the patient. Obviously if you and another nurse read the order/protocol the same way then the failure is NOT...

  14. Biden loves nurses...awkward

    Peachpit replied to Nurse Beth's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Biden is not mentally or physically capable of being President. This has nothing to do with politics. It's obvious he has cognitive and physical impairments. It's shameful those around him who profess...

  15. On-call hospice nurse

    Peachpit replied to lwheatley's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Just saw this thread after posting something similar about on call and triage LOL. I won't reiterate what my other post said but ..I'm going to pass on the offer I received. Like a few other posters...

  16. On Call and Triage Question - is this normal?

    Peachpit posted a topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I'm hoping for someone more recent in this kind of position to reply as most of the posts on here currently are older and maybe this is how on call is done in 2023. I have been offered a...

  17. Leaving Bedside

    Peachpit replied to Nora Joyce's topic in General Nursing

    With your experience there are many options for non bedside nursing jobs where you wouldn't have to wait 6 months or more to get away from it. Have you considered hospice? Home health?...

  18. Surgical clinic—-is this really doable?

    Peachpit replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    It's been a few months since you posted this and while I don't work in an ambulatory clinic, I still identify with everything you said - including going to work in a grocery store. I have told me...

  19. VA telehealth nursing question

    Peachpit replied to bookel's topic in Telephone Triage

    I see this is an old post but will answer..I worked for the VA and telehealth was started where I worked. The hours were M-F 8-4. An RN where I worked was assigned as the Telehealth RN and oversaw...

  20. Nurse Recruiter Threatened Me after I Asked a Question: Need Advice

    Peachpit replied to CGB's topic in Travel

    Advice: go to another company NOW. How many red flags do you need before you accept there is something WRONG with this recruiter/company? Telling you not to contact the compliance people? Not paying...

  21. Concealed Carry...as a nurse?

    Peachpit replied to mcknis's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    So by looting stores, breaking windows, burning cars, blocking highways, etc they are effecting change? No, they are destroying their own cities/communities, shutting down real conversations and...

  22. Concealed Carry...as a nurse?

    Peachpit replied to mcknis's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    That is part of the problem.."cops aren't welcome" just like all nurses are serial killers etc, all cops aren't bad. Just like ANY group/profession, the response/lack there of in Uvalde shouldn't...

  23. Concealed Carry...as a nurse?

    Peachpit replied to mcknis's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    My state currently does not require a concealed permit to carry. Yes, I own and carry a firearm but do not take it into places that law explicitly

  24. Remote RN positions

    Peachpit replied to WLW's topic in Nursing Career

    Amedisys Home Health hires remote nurses for CTC (Care Transitions Coordinator) positions. Some are M-F, some just weekends. They are nationwide as far as I know. Their website can be a little tricky...

  25. Delta 8 THC now federally legal, what does this mean for nurses?

    Peachpit replied to RNMN667's topic in General Nursing

    The issue is not if we, as individuals agree about whether pot is evil/good/helpful or gate way to Taco Bell..it's about the fact it's legal. A nurse can be prescribed medication (like Xanax for...
