    RNRutRO replied to texasgirl77's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Keep trying. Don't give up easily. Have you talked with your advocate to see if they can give you some ideas? It just depends where you interview and who you interview with. Do NOT, I repeat, NOT...

  8. Pay for RN doing home health care in Houston

    RNRutRO replied to robert2010's topic in Home Health

    Robert2010- From what I have seen in Houston area, LVN's who become RN's have to have a year experience before most will hire you. Even if you had a year experience as an LVN---go figure! I've...

    RNRutRO replied to texasgirl77's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Actually, here in Texas it is very possible to do. I know from experience. There is an extra page in the contract you have to agree to along with employer, but I didn't find it too difficult. One...

  12. Oasis C

    RNRutRO replied to Sue Damonas's topic in Home Health

    Took a really good class on it (we'll see when I actually have to do a real one) It did away with what I thought was silly questions, and clarified others. I think with all things new, there will be...

    RNRutRO replied to KC's topic in Home Health

    Chimers-Help! I looked up that book on Amazon. Am I doing it wrong? I only see 1 USED available, and it's $999 (that's more than a bit pricey to me) I've seen this book before, and it is good....

  15. A running list of low abuse specialties

    RNRutRO replied to shopgirl44's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Didn't see anyone mention Home Health. I know that not everyone can do it because of their restrictions, but I find it to be a very low abuse specialty for me. Good luck finding a

    RNRutRO replied to Junebug59's topic in Nurses Recovery

  17. Just a vent....oncall nurse calls me at night

    RNRutRO replied to chenoaspirit's topic in Home Health

  19. HHRG and medicare billing

    RNRutRO replied to kellyjstc's topic in Home Health

    Thanks for your input. I wonder if we are getting mis-information. What about "out lyers" patients? The 3-4 time a day diabetic patients? What are other agencies doing with those patients. From...

  20. HHRG and medicare billing

    RNRutRO replied to kellyjstc's topic in Home Health

    RNRutRO replied to OSoStressed's topic in Nurses Recovery

    In TPAPN you are allowed to work homehealth. There is an additional form to the contract that must be filled out at time of hire. Actually, I think that HH is a safer area to work. If you're not...
