   cny4rn replied to Pooksmom1996's topic in Home Health

   From what I can tell the point system only benefits the company. I started about two months ago for a company that uses it and gave a two and half week notice this week. We are reimbursed at 1 point...

3. Homebound guidelines

   cny4rn replied to cny4rn's topic in Home Health

   You know you're right actually. The truth should always prevail but it doesn't. She was let go for not doing her job .......the owner just took a while to figure that out. She wouldn't have lost her...

5. Homebound guidelines

   cny4rn replied to cny4rn's topic in Home Health

   Thank you all for your replies. The patient I was concerned with does not require a taxing effort for her to drive or leave her home. I know I did the right thing. It was interesting that after I...

7. Am I getting snowed? HH in North Texas

   cny4rn replied to alwaysBELIEVE's topic in Home Health

   Are you being paid 20 per hour or 20 per visit? If they are paying your travel time then 20 per hour is a fair payment. I am an RN and am paid 40 per regular visit with a 7 dollar trip fee if it is...

8. Homebound guidelines

   I have worked in home health for about 8 years now. Most as a part time RN in the field but some as a full time case manager. Recently I refused to recert a patient that had current medical changes...

9. I've had it!!! Need to vent again

   cny4rn replied to MzSuziQ64's topic in Home Health

   Ten patient visits is four too many to do a good job in my opinion. Eight should be tops. That is just ridiculous. Is there much driving on those days or are they close to one another? Anyway you...

    cny4rn replied to MzSuziQ64's topic in Home Health

    I am getting into this discussion late but I am glad to see other nurses standing up and saying they will not admit a patient that is not homebound or doesn't need home health services. I quit home...

    cny4rn posted a topic in Home Health

    At the agency I am working for, they told us that they would like the oasis turned in within 48 hrs, but if we got it finished in 7 days it was not considered late. So that is how we have been doing...

13. Leaving Job

    Also check into your companies policy on your PTO time. I just found out at the home health company I work for that the minute you give your resignation your accumulated PTO time is forfeited!!!...

14. Seriously considering leaving HH

    cny4rn replied to wonderbee's topic in Home Health

    Your right about the good and bad in everything. I am trying to work on my attitude cause sometimes it can be a bit stinky. Thankfully Texas doesn't have much ice or snow. It is the August heat that...

15. Seriously considering leaving HH

    cny4rn replied to wonderbee's topic in Home Health

    That's funny that you are going back to psych. A few of us were talking the other day about how we were disillusioned with home health and were remembering how we liked psych. My only problem would...
