    RN1263 replied to hhrnohio's topic in Home Health

    My best is when I get a called (it's happened more than once) regarding a patient admit or recert done weeks ago that I didn't even do. Oh Yeah, manager going off about this or that and I say nope...

  2. Bossy/nosy co-workers

    RN1263 replied to RN1263's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You're right. Although I said I considered it a closed issue, I keep think about it and how it can come back to haunt me and/or what she (the backstabber) may do next to sabotage me. If she continues...

  3. Bossy/nosy co-workers

    RN1263 replied to RN1263's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yeah, I do know her intentions....and they're not good. I thought we were friends (or friendly), but guess not. I did document everything in my narrative and throughout the oasis, then she wrote a...

  4. Why HH nurses quit

    RN1263 replied to Willow Moonsidhe's topic in Home Health

    I'm paid hourly and yeah that aspect is great, except if you don't play by their rules at every turn, they b*tch, moan, whine constantly- They fired a nurse last week. They want all charting for a...

  5. Why HH nurses quit

    RN1263 replied to Willow Moonsidhe's topic in Home Health

    Yes, I agree. I feel that are DON didn't practice (when she was in the field) what she now expects and preaches to the nurses, which angers me, but I'm realizing that she's getting some or all of it...

  6. interview question not sure how to answer (hh)

    RN1263 replied to lsvalliant's topic in Home Health

    I don't do peds, but restraining is probably not what they wanted to hear. Perhaps using distraction techniques, such as "Oh I have a great game we could play, but you need to settle down, .....so on...

    RN1263 replied to juliam's topic in Home Health

  9. Always "on".

    RN1263 replied to twokidsmom,rn's topic in Home Health

    If a wound is not healing it's time to call the doc and/or case conference and change the wound care- NOT quit nursing. I too have had patients I think about a lot, but I came to realize that there's...

  10. Applying for jobs aggressively?

    RN1263 replied to eaRNed's topic in General Nursing

    What's going on now a days is flabbergasting compared to when I graduated in 2007. Then, if you had a decent resume and half way decent references you could get hired as a new grad in ER, ICU, step...

    RN1263 replied to namazonian's topic in General Nursing

  13. Christmas Eve in Home Care

    RN1263 replied to hawkfdc's topic in Home Health

    Absolutely NOT a pitiful HH nurse! It's not as though he's in a facility and you can manage everything regarding his diet/intake on a daily basis. I'm sure you've done a great job and the best you...

  17. Was offered an Intake RN position at a home health agency

    RN1263 replied to Tzu911's topic in Home Health

    I have never been an intake nurse, but I can say at my agency the intake nurse can make or break the field nurses day! Nurses will get an admit on their paper schedule and have to sit and wait until...

  18. Why HH nurses quit

    RN1263 replied to Willow Moonsidhe's topic in Home Health

    Do I think you're over-worked....YES. Would I want your job?...NO. Would I take a job that consumed my life and stressed me out daily... Not anymore, been there done that... no thanks. Now, I do know...

    RN1263 replied to Willow Moonsidhe's topic in Home Health

    HHmmm, see your own quote below, sounds like you were doing more complaining regarding the actual "industry", then I. As a matter of fact, you referred to it as a "brewing pot of failure" waiting to...

  22. Why HH nurses quit

    RN1263 replied to Willow Moonsidhe's topic in Home Health

    Do you think that is "reasonable" to expect for one nurse to have to do? I want work to be part of my life, not BE my life. Maybe YOU have not, but believe me others have.... I just hate when nurse...

  23. Why HH nurses quit

    RN1263 replied to Willow Moonsidhe's topic in Home Health

    Spoken like a true "manager" that has forgotten what it's like in the field...what a shame....you will no longer be able to "relate" well to your nurses. "Policies" are thrown out the window when the...
