  1. Home Health agencies paying nurses per visit

    I am currently salaried with a quota of patients to see a week and definitely see the downfalls of it. You can see 7,8,9 patients a day and will not get any additional reimbursement for it. I am now...
  2. Missed certification visits.

    Yes, you will have to discharge and readmit the patient. The paper work is more for the insurance or legal aspect of homecare. It is not for the benefit of the doctor. It is a pain but it does have...

  5. Temple University Hospital-My dream hospital

    I saw an ad for the VNA of Philadelphia offering to pay up to $100,000 for home health care nurses (experienced). Has anyone worked for that agency and do they know if this is true and was are some...
  10. Could a recent graduate do home health?

    I have been a nurse for 18 years, 4 of which are now in home care. I have done various things in those years that have prepared me with the assessment skills I now possess. I would not recommend...
  11. Home Health

    I agree with all the other posters. I have been a nurse for 18 years but in home care for 3 1/2 years. I love it. I have the most flexibility that I have had in any job (I have done everything from...
  12. Help!

    I think you need to talk to that nurse and discuss what happened. I would then go to my administrator. It is a shame to have people leave home care who love it. It can be so rewarding. Go back....
  13. Thank you all for the great posts. Now another question... How do you decide where to send out letters/marketing material? Do you just randomly send them out or do you have some type of method?...
  14. I would also like to hear more about this. I do quite a bit of blood draws already so why not do it for my own business. I would appreciate any info you can
  15. I think that what you have done is great. I know nurses in Nigeria and would like to assist them to coming to the U.S. If you can provide any advise, please do email me privately. Best of luck in...
  16. I'm tickeled about Home Health Nursing!!!

    I agree with you. I have been a nurse for 18 years and it is the 18 years experience that I draw on when I am out in the field. I definitely suggest getting at least 1 year experience in med/surg...

    Dear Darcy, I have now been in home care for almost 2 years. When I started, it was getting on my nerves. I had them sending me all over the place, when my day should have been over, just to make my...
  20. 3rd week in home health, ready to quit

    Please hang in there. IT was that way for me as well. I was very frustrated as I started working part time but felt like I was working a full time job. What solved it for me was to go per diem. I...
  21. What specialty is most needed in Travel?

    Is it possible to take a traveling job in your local city? Will you still be entitled to the same perks as those who travel
  22. I was having that problem with being sent all over. I solved that by going per diem. That was the best move I ever made. Now I let them know where I will go and I have found my niche. Home care...
  23. MSN/HCAD or just HCAD or MBA?

    I have a similar dilemma. I am an ADN RN with a BA in organizational management. Unfortunately, I have learned that this has thrown me off of a lot of nursing related positions. I chose this degree...
