    tk3100 replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe, slightlymental_RN. However, it does confirm my belief that nursing does drive a person to

  2. Dept. of Human Services nurse ??

    tk3100 replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Nursing

    I saw the position you are talking about, I think. I took it as someone that administers the non-skilled waiver programs that the home health agencies staff. The DHS folks make referrals to the home...

  3. Oasis review/ Coder

    tk3100 posted a topic in Home Health

    I am wondering. How many cases should one person be responsible to review and submit oasis for? Is there a maximum amount? My agency requires that I am responsible for approx 650. We have a relatively...

  4. Oasis review/ Coder

    tk3100 replied to tk3100's topic in Home Health

    I just think that that many active patient cases for 485 reviews and oasis review and submit alone is enough to make a person crazy. I am not a certified coder, but I had more home health experience...

  5. Oasis review/ Coder

    tk3100 replied to tk3100's topic in Home Health

    I agree with that. I am still reeling over being fired yesterday due to "poor performance". I really do not know what else she wanted from me. She said that there were missing recerts and I should...

    tk3100 replied to RNnurse07's topic in General Nursing

  10. whats the diffrence ???

    tk3100 replied to beachbound1023's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like you have been lied to! No, you must do an LPN program to be able to take the nclex(nursing licensure test) and then be licensed in your state as a nurse. I'm so sorry for

  11. UA Fort Smith??

    tk3100 replied to cancergirl24's topic in General Nursing

    Well, you would think that curriculum would be the same wherever, but I am told by a couple of people I know that started at UAFS and went to another school afterward that they found a difference. One...

  12. UA Fort Smith??

    tk3100 replied to cancergirl24's topic in General Nursing

    I did both the LPN and ADN programs there. Yes, the curriculum is tough. The pass rate is high for nclex as compared to other schools statewide. I don't really know the instructors there now, as I...

  13. Sarah P's views regarding nursing issues

    tk3100 replied to bossynurse101's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure where this number comes from, but I pay less than $275/mo for insurance for my family of four. This is with a $2500 deductable, but as you well know that is the equivalent of 15 min in the...

    Thank you for your responses! I tried to do the research online for myself, but I didn't understand what I was reading. You've been a big

  17. Fired, concerned, worried, job issues, need information, and salary info!! help!

    tk3100 replied to cutehumor's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure why you were terminated for this. It was a matter of routine to have several things connected to pump/tubing when I worked in ICU. As long as you weren't running something concurrently in the...

  19. New Law in florida blocking nurses from per-diem work

    tk3100 replied to scma's topic in Home Health

    Of course I am not from Florida, but I have never heard of such a law. My HH agency has a non-compete agreement they want you to sign upon employment. But I am not so sure than your DON hasn't told a...

  20. Who Should Pay This

    tk3100 replied to chaschata's topic in General Nursing

    Best of luck in your endeavors, as they richly deserve it. Administration seems to care only for the bottom line. While I realize that not all admin is this way, I have not yet met one that isn't...

  21. I don't know if I can do this-again (long)

    tk3100 replied to fifi2323's topic in General Nursing

    My aunt was told by one of her instructors that she would never be a decent nurse, so she just needed to drop out. She has been a nurse now for over 20 years and is the director of an ambulatory...

  22. Would You Have Done This?

    tk3100 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    An issue such as this came up last night for me. My neighbor calls me at home and says her mother in law's cath is leaking and her home health agency has discharged due to refusal of care. She didn't...

  23. Skilled Nurse Visits

    tk3100 replied to athomemom56's topic in General Nursing

    Also, I spend between 30 min to an hour in most homes, some longer depending on why I am there. Home health is pretty autonomous, and in part that is why I like it. Lots of critical thinking and...

  24. Skilled Nurse Visits

    tk3100 replied to athomemom56's topic in General Nursing
