1. home health pay

   Cmyst replied to amylou85's topic in Home Health

   One thing you have to get straight is whether the EXPECTATION is that 6 visits = 8 hours? Because if you're new to home health, they don't. If you take over 8 hours to complete the 6 visits, will they...

2. Typical Day For A Home Health Nurse | Life of a Nurse

   Cmyst replied to hoolahan's topic in Home Health

   Yeah, this is a great thread and thanks for starting it, Hoolihan. :) I was supposed to go in for orientation to paperwork/forms today, but it was moved to tomorrow. Hopefully, I'll buddy up with a...

3. home health definition

   Cmyst replied to Merleyvonne's topic in Home Health

   For the legal definition, I bet you could check out some of the sticky threads at the top of the forum. I am just getting back to home health nursing after 5 years doing other things. It wasn't my...

4. Non smoker working in a smoker's home

   Cmyst replied to vermonthiker's topic in Home Health

   Even if no one is actively smoking, those who are sensitive to tobacco smoke have a hard time in a home where it has permeated the upholstery, air, and clothing. Does your employer know about your...

5. HH GN Internship

   Cmyst replied to cloudydrms's topic in Home Health

   I would guess it would depend on just how structured and supportive such a program really was. If it's a good one, then -- yeah. I know where you're coming from. I wanted to do *anything* to stay...

6. Mercy General Sacramento

   Cmyst replied to midwife sarah's topic in California Nursing

   Yes, you're right: Bakersfield is in the great Central Valley of California, which is in essence a scrub-land/desert. It's kind of desolate, but that is coming from my own perspective, as where I...

7. Mercy General Sacramento

   Cmyst replied to midwife sarah's topic in California Nursing

   I hope that you find a great position here in Cali; no matter where you end up be assured that we need you! The pay here is good, compared to most of the US, but on the other hand the cost of living...

8. Mercy General Sacramento

   Cmyst replied to midwife sarah's topic in California Nursing

   Well, it figures I wouldn't check the Allnurses forums for weeks and during that time someone had a question on Sacramento! I am familiar with MGH, but not with their OB floor. I did a bit of per diem...

9. Home Care Home Base

   Cmyst replied to CardioTrans's topic in Home Health

   Thanks for the info. Their site makes a lot of promises, but doesn't have a demo of the product. Why does your friend dislike it? Is it because of the application itself, or does she feel...

10. Home Care Home Base

    Cmyst replied to CardioTrans's topic in Home Health

    No, but could you give us some info on it? I'm interested in programs specific to home health that I can get for my PDA, but even a desktop software program would be interesting. Is this software for...

    Cmyst replied to par08's topic in Home Health

    The traffic does concern me. Since Interim was very clear that they didn't accept referrals outside of metropolitan Sacramento and that they did not want to send nurses outside their preferred area of...

    Cmyst replied to par08's topic in Home Health

    Trying to be objective, but also going into the meeting with the cautions given here clearly in mind: The office environment was quiet, calm, yet seemed supportive. Very professional. The area for...

13. Gentiva

    Cmyst replied to par08's topic in Home Health

    Thanks for the replies, so quick! Well, rats. When I left HHC around 5 years ago, OASIS paperwork had been implemented and PPS, so I'm not sure if the paperwork burden is increased now in comparison...

    Cmyst replied to par08's topic in Home Health

    Happy to see this thread! Does anyone out there know about Gentiva in Sacramento, CA? I have an interview with them on Tuesday, and an alternative offer as well. One question I have is re:...

15. I want to travel, but am scared, please help!

    Cmyst replied to PedsNurse1981's topic in Travel

    Another option may be to work in-house registry or float pool for the hospital you already work at. This option has kept me at my present hospital for months longer than I would have stayed had I not...
