  1. Is this a violation of HIPPA?

    eldragon replied to Laecie's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    eldragon replied to soon2bnurse5's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I got a job offer the other day for $13 an hour. The lady actually said she didn't think I'd interview for the job, but that's all she can pay. She said its basically a triage job - giving some shots...

  3. Does Anyone Know About Federal Re-Hire policies?

    eldragon posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I am employed in the private sector. I was employed in a Federal job, GS7. I quit that position (worked out a notice) because I was offered a VA position. This was a different Federal agency than I...

  4. Does Anyone Know About Federal Re-Hire policies?

    eldragon replied to eldragon's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thanks. Yes that facility has a union. Perhaps they can help. I'm trying not to dwell on it, but it sometimes feels like I gave up my dream job and will never have an opportunity again like that...

  5. Who knew this was so LONELY????

    eldragon replied to mustang_convt's topic in Travel

    I feel your pain. I felt the same way when I was traveling. I used to cry whenever any sad song played in the mall, or on the radio. Things I liked to do with my family, I couldn't enjoy without...

  6. Who knew this was so LONELY????

    eldragon replied to mustang_convt's topic in Travel

    I'm staying at a motel that my agency pays for, and it has a gym. As far as other nurses, I did meet one and we got a long great, but her contract ended and she went home. I am just biding my time...

    eldragon replied to mustang_convt's topic in Travel

    I'm not turned off on travel nursing, though. I plan on doing it again because local stuff just isn't working for me

  11. Who knew this was so LONELY????

    eldragon replied to mustang_convt's topic in Travel

    I take drives, in fact - have to commute 40 miles each way to my assignment. But on my days off, I drive - I go to restaurants - I go walk around in the shopping malls and outlet malls - work out at...

  12. Best paying travel agency covering housing in 2016?

    eldragon replied to Sunshine94031's topic in Travel

    Nope - my perspective is correct. I've lived in large cities (Atlanta? Las Vegas? ) before and have had my car stolen, had my apartment robbed, etc. Not afraid of being raped. I am very self...

  13. Who knew this was so LONELY????

    eldragon replied to mustang_convt's topic in Travel

    This is a really old thread, but it's my life right now. I am married to a very supportive person and my kids are grown - in college. Traveling pay is twice what I make at home, meaning I can work...

    eldragon replied to Sunshine94031's topic in Travel

    Also, discharged where? Back to the hospital? Home? Did she leave

  16. HELP! Discharged 1 day after admission

    eldragon replied to mydoggierocks's topic in MDS Coordinator Information

    You can't do an assessment. She wasn't there long enough to really receive payable services. An entry and a discharge. She wasn't there for a 5 day scheduled assessment, which takes a complete 5...

  17. Where Should I Begin with Training

    eldragon replied to Paula C's topic in MDS Coordinator Information

    I also had on the job training. It's overwhelming but if you are sharp and detail oriented, it can be done. You can't go into MDS without experience and be the only nurse, someone has to be there to...

  18. RUG meeting disaster today..sigh

    eldragon replied to TigerxLiLy's topic in MDS Coordinator Information

    You need a different Med A nurse. She's awful! I've never heard of a Med A nurse, but I was a QA nurse on a skilled unit and had to look over charts for new admits and report on them in meetings. I...

    eldragon replied to outside_child's topic in Home Health

  22. Getting my life back

    eldragon replied to steffyh's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think you were working with my last boss. She spoke to me the exact same way. She was a loon. She cried all the time. She jacked with schedules just because she could. She would talk about my...

  23. Plan to get Oasis certification and ICD-10 knowledge

    eldragon replied to outside_child's topic in Home Health

    I'm Oasis certified. The test is something like the NCLEX. It's timed and has about 80 very long questions, with multiple questions per question. You only get 90 minutes and you're rushed, to say...
