   Patty Rn you should definitely find a better agency, that is just wrong!! To the nurses and the patients both! That company doesn't care about either it seems. Sad.

2. Case Manager Pay

   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 for regular SNV, 1 point DC, 1.5 for RC, 2.0 for R...

3. Homebound guidelines

   cny4rn replied to cny4rn's topic in Home Health

   The owner told us at the mandatory meeting we had when he announced the other superivisor being let go, that our goal was to get the patient to a level of health and independence to be discharged in a timely manner. Of course some of our patients are...

4. 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 job over recerting someone that wasn't homebound....

5. Fired!!

   DeeAngel, your name doesn't fit the harsh reply you gave. Hope your not that judgemental all the time.

6. 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 said I didn't feel right recerting this patient the s...

7. Homebound guidelines

   cny4rn replied to cny4rn's topic in Home Health

   I am being told they can drive short distances to visit the doctor, church, etc. but I didn't feel good about it and am glad I refused to recert the patient.

8. 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 the second or more visit of the day. No trip fee fo...

9. Homebound guidelines

   cny4rn posted a topic in Home Health

   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 but was driving daily. I was told by my supervisor t...

10. 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 definitely should stand up as you did and say you ca...

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

    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 health after 6 years cause of this type of thing an...

12. Home Health Drama

    cny4rn replied to lisa41rn's topic in Home Health

    I also worked for an agency that had those that liked to put others down and start rumors. I suppose with any office type atmosphere there will be some of that but this place has one girl in particular that is full of bitterness. She went to the sup...

13. what is your oasis deadline

    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 it. Well now the new supervisor is saying that was ...

14. Leaving Job

    cny4rn replied to jack4408's topic in General Nursing

    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!!! Start using it if you are planning on resigning.Unless...

15. 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 will kill you. Again, good luck to you in your ne...
