I was hired by a home care agency, but they required at least 1 year of experience to be hired. Even so it was a bit tough for me being here by myself. One of the things I did was come in early before my shift & talk to the nurse I was relieving for any questions I had & for advice & I took a lot of notes. Then the nurse that would come into relieve me I would ask for tips & advice as well. Also when I was new the family was really nice & they also helped me out. So if you really wanna stick it out, the best I can tell you is ask for advice & take notes. Those notes were critical when I first started.

Sorry Honestly I have never been through state survey, but I was told that if you Pass meds, they may watch you pass meds to your patients. So just make sure you wash your hands before med administration, match the medication with the MAR, and check name bands. State will also interview residents too, so if you have any residents that like to make false accusations, make sure that is documented and care planed to protect you. Just provide safe care for you patients and don't stress out and you'll be fine. Hope it helps.
