  1. When to apply to Frontier

    HHheart posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I will finish my BSN this summer (from WGU) and would like to continue on toward CNM through Frontier without a hiccup. Do I have to wait until I have my BSN "in hand", or can I begin the application...

  2. When to apply to Frontier

    HHheart replied to HHheart's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Thanks for the response. I've been a RN for longer than I care to admit, LOL! I emailed Frontier but got no response. Apparently I'm not worth their time until I have the BSN in

  3. IV Bumex in home?

    HHheart replied to KateRN1's topic in Home Health

    Did you bring that to the doc's attention (no K+ replacement / labs)?? Did they insist on it

  4. Too good to be true?

    HHheart replied to KateRN1's topic in Home Health

    I hope things are better for you in your new job. Sorry you had such a bad experience. Sounds like that agency needs to hire some real home health managers. I've seen the fallout before when an agency...

  5. How do you

    HHheart replied to prmenrs's topic in Home Health

    I like Caliotter's post about conduit for the tubing - I once had a patient accidentally drag her tubing across the warming plate on her coffee pot and you can guess what happened! ....Please be...

  6. Question for those that hire

    HHheart replied to EDRN-2010's topic in General Nursing

    I hire the nurses that work in our home health agency. My early days in nursing were spent in a teeny tiny little rural hospital where the nurses did everything from ED to ICU to dumping the trash....

  7. Well, today we all start OASIS C

    HHheart replied to chenoaspirit's topic in Home Health

    Hmmm.... makes me wonder if you're using the same software my office is

  8. Advice on making your life better and easier

    HHheart replied to DrBunn's topic in Home Health

    I am the director of a moderately sized home health agency in Florida. We (myself and 2 of the companies VPs) shopped electronic/point of care devices for 2 years. We looked at literally everything...

  9. We are looking for home health nursing software

    HHheart replied to PALOMAHOMEHEALTH's topic in Home Health

    Well, there's more to my leaving than the software issue - that was just the last straw. This particular position has never been a good one, and I had hoped that going paperless would ease some of...

  10. We are looking for home health nursing software

    HHheart replied to PALOMAHOMEHEALTH's topic in Home Health

    Best of luck to you in your search! We looked at Cerner, Mysis, McKesson, Delta, Homecare Homebase, Carecentric, just to name a few. I don't have much info on the data storage issue - I'm more on...

  11. We are looking for home health nursing software

    HHheart replied to PALOMAHOMEHEALTH's topic in Home Health

    From someone that has spent the past 2 1/2 yrs evaluating software for our agency - I can tell you that none of them are perfect. They all have their shortcomings, it's just a matter of what features...

    HHheart posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thank you both so

  14. Homebound status Medicare vs. Insurance

    HHheart replied to Aredhel13's topic in Home Health

    That makes no sense at all. Each commercial insurance company has differing criteria. I'll bet he was a fairly new surveyor - sometimes you have to remind them that commercial insurance is a...

  15. Vintage nursing uniform

    HHheart replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    You will have better luck if you look at regular dress patterns for that era. Find something similar and she should be able to reproduce it in white. If she can't make minor adjustments (belt,...

  16. Work from home

    HHheart replied to trixyone's topic in Florida Nursing

    I used to work from home as a telephonic case manager. Check with companies such as Concentra, Paradigm Health, etc. You will generally be required to have a CCM certification, but I was able to...

  17. No L&D experience - is CNM unrealistic?

    HHheart posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I began nursing school 15 years ago with the intention of going into L&D - I had no intention whatsoever of doing anything else. Well, wouldn't you know that when I was a new grad and needed to...

  18. Those of you that are paperless...

    HHheart posted a topic in Home Health

    I'm the director of a HH agency that is fervently searching for the best software program... does anyone have experience with Homecare Homebase? Does the small screen pose a problem? Any comments on...

    HHheart replied to LadyNASDAQ's topic in Case Management

    Telephonic case mgmt is the process of monitoring a patient's status by telephone. You call the patient on a regularly scheduled basis, as well as accepting calls from the patient regarding any new...
