  1. Any home health manager/Admin/DON/Nurse Super etc

    renerian posted a topic in Home Health

    I have been in home health since 91. I find the office politics are really getting to me. Having worked for lots of companies, quite a few no longer in business, that the atmosphere has become almost...

  2. California Fires/Ventura??

    renerian posted a topic in General Nursing

    Does anyone live in Ventura? I live in Ohio and cannot get ahold of my brother which I always can. I am listening to KATV in Ventura on the web and it sounds like a fire in Santa Paula is heading...

  3. sales nurses

    renerian posted a topic in General Nursing

    Are there any nurses involved in sales? My good friend who I used to work with has offered me a dynamite job, no oncall, no weekends, no holidays as a Sales Rep. Wondered if anyone has ever done this?...

  4. Certification for Disease Management Nurses

    renerian posted a topic in Infectious Disease

    I was doing a search to find out if anyone knows a program where Disease Management Nurses can be certified. I have been looking for days. Anyone know a program of that nature?

  5. kneeling chairs

    renerian posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am having a horrible time at work with sitting at a desk moving paperwork around. My neck is killing me. I look down most of the day. I have tried everything and was thinking of getting a kneeling...

  6. Number of Disease Management nurses

    renerian posted a topic in Case Management

    I was wondering if there are many of us in the club? I rarely have seen postings from DM nurses so I wanted to do a head count. If you just post you are one that would be great!

  7. home health aides knowing patient diagnosis

    renerian posted a topic in Home Health

    Need experienced home health nurses input on this situation. I think that when a home health aide gets a new patient they should at least know the patient's diagnosis. A person at one of my home care...

    renerian replied to nrcnurse's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    The poor family sounds like they are suffering with fear and grief.

  9. On Call

    renerian replied to deniseS's topic in Home Health

    In the 20 years I have done homecare, I went out more often than others have.

  10. Weekends and Holidays?

    renerian replied to mimi1's topic in Home Health

    In home health I worked alot of weekends, nights and holidays. Much more than when I worked at the hospital.

  11. mowing the lawn, driving and working

    renerian replied to erroridiot's topic in Home Health

    I would offer private pay/big smile.

  12. How long does coding take?

    renerian replied to tnava's topic in Home Health

    That is a very long time for 2 to 3 files. Accuracy is important but I don't think any employer would keep someone on who can only process that little of work. NO offense, just a thought.

  13. Please share nurse to pt ratio

    renerian replied to RADONC-RN's topic in Oncology

    I have never heard the term'belly bath'either...

    renerian replied to RNontheroad's topic in Travel

    Are you talking a masters in nursing?

  16. Starting own agency to negotiate own contract?

    renerian replied to psychsurf's topic in Travel

    Hubby and I have owned two companies, one still open. Paying the estimated tax payments to the city is a pain/required here for companies. We pay all our own taxes, malpractice insurance is not that...

  17. Are they trying to rip me off?

    renerian replied to biteme's topic in Travel

    Wow sounds really good to me too.

  18. Disease Management how many are there ?

    renerian posted a topic in Case Management

    I have posted this question before but it has been a long time so I want to post again to see if there are more nurses in DM. I wanted to know because I would like to approach allnurses about adding...

  19. Disease Management how many are there ?

    renerian replied to renerian's topic in Case Management

    I was wondering also if any of the DM nurse are required to have some type of certification. I did obtain a certification but wondered if othere companies require it.

  20. Would this be allowed?

    renerian replied to seemerun's topic in Home Health

    I have seen people do both roles. Depending on how much you end up getting up at night, going out at night, how far you have to drive, the weather and most of all if you get "stuck" with admissions,...

  21. Leukoplakia

    renerian replied to Kim O'Therapy's topic in Oncology

    Kim, I have the same white lines on both sides of my mouth from teeth grinding at night. Good reference information from posters.

  22. Who's charting is it anyway?

    renerian replied to Cattitude's topic in Home Health

    I read all the thoughts about this post and felt a need to respond. As a person who processed a ton of OASIS and coded them as well, I found that calls often were made due to OASIS questions,...

  23. home health forms

    renerian replied to stephera's topic in Home Health

    JCAHO has nice forms for sale. Have you looked there? I have had to make my own before if an agency does not allow money for purchasing forms.

  24. Does this seem wrong?????

    renerian replied to Narcoleptic Nurse's topic in Home Health

    May I ask the pay source for the clients? With Medicaid a person might have that happen more than Medicare.

  25. Disease Management how many are there ?

    renerian replied to renerian's topic in Case Management

    Dria, thanks for your input. I agree a merge could work. I know Ohio State Medical Center uses PCRMs that work in what I am guessing is a similar merged role. They watch the person throughout the...
