S.N. Visit BSN, RN

If the client has been discharged due to being in the hospital or away on vacation and we pick them back up to readmit during a cert period, then we use the new SOC date because it's a completely new episode, but we don't change our SOC for routine r...

I can only speak from my experience. I hire LPN's & brand new RN's to perform less critical types of cases, for example: simple wound dressing changes, Foley Cath's, or to set up routine medications. I leave the complex cases & management to...

Care Scout, is my favorite other Insurance company. Paperwork is a breeze in compared to Senior Bridge.

I've been a nurse since 2006, own my own home healthcare and don't regret my career decision one bit.

I just bought into a Home Health Care Franchise as non skilled at this time. All in all, I think you are looking to start with about $125,000 to get started through the first year. The banks, and SBA are being very tight at this time with lending, ...

Can some-one explain to me why I am prone to fainting when I give blood? I have no history of fainting, so I'm very puzzled about this. The first time I gave blood, I made it until the end of my donation, before I passed out. The second time,( w...

I have severe allergies as well and take 3 rx strength antihistamines daily (optical, nasal and by mouth). Benadryl and other OTC antihistamines are useless to my reactions, so I understand completely about having to take a ton of antihistamines. ...

I'm on a new path too, sort of.. My current employer (HHA) is shutting the doors this friday. I'm going to give it a go and start my own. Best of luck to you!

Too much to post here and not enough time to list my reasons I feel they hated me. I agree the above examples weren't the best to use. Maybe they didn't "Hate Me", instead they really disliked me intensely. I had nearly 2years experience with th...

:lol2: This makes me chuckle!!

I cannot deal with vomit either! It grosses me out to no end. Luckily to date, I have not had to clean it up in my short nursing career. I started as an RN in inpatient psych (all patients physically stable) and now I am a Case Manager, RN in Hom...

RN's in Iowa most definately pull PICC lines. Additional training comes into place when an RN "places" a PICC line according to policies of workplace/BON.

Maybe she became an LPN?

Oh Yes, I had two med surg clinical instructors absolutely hate me. To this day, I still don't know why. I sucked it up, did everything they asked and passed. Biting my tongue during the last face to face evaluation with the two who hated me was t...

I also work home health, so I will reschedule as well.

Nurse, mother and 7th & 8th grade certified Cheer-leading coach.:anpom: It really depends on the day which occupation I prefer. The pay & my mental sanity is so much better being a nurse.

Studies have shown that artificial nails, as well as chipped nail polish, possess a greater amount of gram negative bacteria and pathogens than natural nails. The grooves and rough areas create a perfect space for bacteria to reside.

I'm not sure what to think about this...I'd rather have a publicly advertised site to check out a physician, surgeon, or dentist rather than a nurse. * Note my sarcasm* Since everyone is now encouraged to check out nurses, how about adding on to...

In addition to the heavy transfers, I think the OP is also meaning she hasn't been orientated to the CNA's usual routine. Such as the CNA's will know where the shower heads are kept, but the nurse may not if they don't use them often. Maybe the C...

I do! Case Manager in HHC...Love my Hours & schedule flexibility, type of work, co workers and patients.

I'm only on my 3rd class, but so far so good. I take 1 class every 8 weeks. Yes, they accept Federal funding. They only offer the FNP program or MSN-Nurse education program right now, so if you want to go into mental health NP you will have to g...

I'm an ADN nurse . There is a need for Mental Health but lack of providers in my area so it is a consideration.

I did a quick google search and came across this site : Psychiatric / Mental Health Nurse Practitioner / CNS Program Directory Looks like there are several programs . Btw, I am doing RN-MSN (FNP) through Graceland College in Lamoni Iowa, all onlin...

I've seen a lot of Sonata given .

I found nursing school to be very challenging because I had other responsibilities and conflicts going on like raising 3 young kids, building a new house, and work. I think it all depends on where you are at in life and where you go to school if i...
