  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...

  11. Gentiva

    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...

  12. Gentiva

    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...

  14. Gentiva

    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...

  17. Home Health visit rates

    Cmyst posted a topic in California Nursing

    I did Home Health for many years, but left the field about 4 years ago due to decreased visits and increased paperwork and my aging cars. I'm beginning to miss it...... but I need to pay my bills,...

  18. Home Health visit rates

    Cmyst replied to Cmyst's topic in California Nursing

    Thanks, Renerian, for the info. I was also offered a job in Monterrey a few months ago, for around $35/hr., through a travel company. Since housing was included, that rate was pretty good. Hours...

  19. Home Health visit rates

    Cmyst replied to Cmyst's topic in California Nursing

    In the last year I've looked into travel nursing, agency nursing, and independent contract nursing -- so yep, I've considered just about everything :) If the job you took in Seattle is a home health...

  20. HOw To Start YOur Own Business

    Cmyst replied to nightingale's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Wow, thanks TouchRN! I have to give my significant other (at my age, "boyfriend" sounds so hilarious) the credit with help with business. Well, at least 70% of the credit. Thanks for the...

    RN 11 years Currently working Med/Surg, some Tele, some Neuro, some Ortho Nocs/Float Pool Sacramento, CA just under

  22. HOw To Start YOur Own Business

    Cmyst replied to nightingale's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    I can't really speak with any authority on this from the IC route, although I've established my own business, because I haven't gotten any contracts yet. I've pursued one that didn't pan out, and...

  23. Independent Nurses providing medical care?

    Cmyst replied to rachel h's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Congrats on your success, Retiredusaf :) The Workman's comp bit confuses me, though. I thought that workman's comp was to cover *employees*, and that to cover oneself it would be disability...

  24. correctional nursing pay rate

    Cmyst replied to lorita's topic in Correctional

    Kimprn, (I know it's a longshot, this thread ended in March!) I am an RN trying to get a contract with probably the same place (NMR?) that you posted about. I want to work in the Sacramento area;...

  25. HOw To Start YOur Own Business

    Cmyst replied to nightingale's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Thanks, Lavslady I understand how you feel about NAIN, and I have been a bit dismayed myself at what seems like very arbitrary decisions about the implied motives of certain threads and posters, when...
