  3. Does anyone work for Eversana?

    I<3H2O posted a topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    I<3H2O replied to Mamanurse0810's topic in Home Health

    Would you be responsible for all SOCs and ROCs on Saturday and Sunday? If this is part of the job then you won't be working from home. You will likely be out seeing patients all weekend. Ask about how...

    Does anyone know from personal experience of cargo scrub pants that have pockets on both legs? I don't live near a scrub store so I have to buy online. What brands?

  10. Home health has become too much!

    I<3H2O posted a topic in Home Health

    I'm just about at my wits end. I cannot keep staff. Everyone is stressed about the continuously updated list of "you must have this on every chart" that they are ready to give up. Our OASIS...

    I<3H2O posted a topic in General Nursing

    What is the lowest HGB you have seen on a pt. that is still alert, talking, upright, who exhibits no active bleeding? LOL we had a little old lady present to the ER with "weakness" and her HGB was...

    I<3H2O posted a topic in Home Health

    I work for a large corporation and they are forever changing what is "required" in our documentation. When I started several years ago, orders were written kind of vague such as wound care: "cleanse...

    I<3H2O replied to RN-DC's topic in Home Health

    I had a discussion about this topic with one my coworkers. I'm sorry but I do not care how badly someone needs care, if I cannot use a proper bag technique due to filth and bugs then I'm not starting...

  16. Am I Allowed to Say "No?"

    I<3H2O replied to dogsandchickens's topic in Home Health

    Is 25 visits the minimum or the maximum? That should be your first question. Secondly, I would simply approach the scheduler and ask about how assignments are made. My previous scheduler didn't...

  17. Visit Frequency

    I<3H2O replied to NurseBeefcake's topic in Home Health

    KelRN215, I think you may have missed my point. :) Maybe I was not clear. However, if you have someone who takes a BP med and they know the purpose, action, and side effects of that med, the...

    I<3H2O replied to NurseBeefcake's topic in Home Health

    Someone who is likely to return to the hospital (CHF, pneumonia, etc) within 30 days should be seen as frequently as your company will agree. Probably at least 3x week for the first week and twice...

    I<3H2O replied to Tigerlily8's topic in Home Health

  22. How is a HHA reimbursed for milage?

    I<3H2O replied to CatHair's topic in Home Health

    I<3H2O replied to TXRN44's topic in Home Health
