    Isabelle49 replied to JZ_RN's topic in Home Health

    Isabelle49 replied to LanaWRN's topic in Home Health

  17. who has left nursing ?

    Isabelle49 replied to sabatical's topic in Retired Nurses

  18. New Grad RN got a job offer for homecare nursing but only 1 day orientation?

    Isabelle49 replied to katherine86's topic in Home Health

    I agree with what caliotter3 has said. Not only do many agencies not properly orient employees, but they will make your life miserable if you don't do your job right. I have never gotten caught up in...

    Isabelle49 replied to HHN2472's topic in Home Health

    Isabelle49 replied to Isabelle49's topic in Home Health

    Isabelle49 replied to Isabelle49's topic in Home Health

    Isabelle49 replied to KittyLovinRN's topic in Home Health

    I used to wear Birkinstock exclusively, but started having plantar fasciitis. Now wearing Orthaheel with no problems. Tennis shoes/sneakers do not provide enough support for this flat-footed nurse,...

    Isabelle49 replied to Jmsimpson10's topic in Home Health

    All agencies I have worked for, and there have been quite a few, are pay per visit and it is a flat rate. There is no compensation for increasing complexity of visits. Visit to patient with DM and HTN...
