  1. why is the corrections facility hiring so much?

    erroridiot replied to luckie's topic in Correctional

    Correctional facilities house some very sick people. Many are very high risk due to lifestyle choices, poverty and a "less than adequate" start in life. Most of the problems are multigenerational...

    erroridiot replied to shondaRN's topic in Home Health

    How do you do it? This sounds like terrible working

  4. Hourly pd RNs:How does your HH agency work mileage into productivity?

    erroridiot replied to shondaRN's topic in Home Health

    There should be a federal regulation: Any HHC agency not giving productivity points for driving over 15 miles between visits, lab drops, or supply and paperwork drop/pick up or to the office for...

  6. I Quit!! What do I say?

    erroridiot replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    I would not give any reason at all. This is not required. Date of resignation and thank you is enough. You may want to go back to work at this place at some time in the future and they can and will...

  7. Older nurses taking forever to computer chart

  8. Nurse with Body Odor

    erroridiot replied to prettyinblu's topic in General Nursing

    I have worked with a lot of stinkers over the years. I wouldn't take any action about this issue. I might keep a bit more distance between the odor source and myself. During the work day, I spend...

  9. Huge Dilemma...please help!

    erroridiot replied to Traum-a-Rama's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    My pin was pawned to survive when I did not have enough work. I live in a struggling area with high unemployment. I would not miss the interview, but I might make a request for a different time with...

  10. How far will you drive between visits?

    erroridiot posted a topic in Home Health

    If required to do 28-32 visits per week, how far can you drive between patients and meet your productivity? If an agency has patients up to 200 or more miles apart, or even 100 or more miles apart, it...

  11. How far will you drive between visits?

    erroridiot replied to erroridiot's topic in Home Health

    You obviously are working in a more fair and enlightened environment than the one I am describing. There are no extra points for patients great distances from each other of 50 to 150 miles apart. The...

  12. My preceptor is writing her novel during my orientation... at WORK!

    erroridiot replied to CS1234's topic in General Nursing

    It is possible that the "alien" was the unit manager. You never know. Back to the original post: This preceptor is totally out of touch with reality. This is probably not news to you and is not...

  13. My preceptor is writing her novel during my orientation... at WORK!

    erroridiot replied to CS1234's topic in General Nursing

    Well, it could be worse. I've had sleeping preceptors and even one communicating with aliens (and invited me to join her). These preceptors were the darlings of the unit managers! Be careful who...

  14. Fired because they "can't afford me"...now what?

    erroridiot replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am so sorry you had to endure this "doctor" and what he had to say to you for any length of time whatsoever. Are you sure the FBI or other enforcement agencies aren't already keeping an eye on this...

  15. Fired because they "can't afford me"...now what?

    erroridiot replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    This person is your personal physician? Someone working there is your health care provider? Oh no, never in this life would I take my health care to such a dirtball. This guy is not the sharpest...

  16. Home Care Orders.....I need help!

    erroridiot replied to np7797's topic in Home Health

    Home care agencies that operate outside of the rules are a dime a dozen. They are looking for staff who "do not know any better" or will "do what they say". If you don't fit into these categories,...

  17. Agency pay dropped ?

    erroridiot replied to AC439's topic in Agency Nurses

    Stay out of the pimp's territory. They are

  18. No Complaining Policy

    erroridiot replied to KateRN1's topic in Home Health

    ROTFLMAO This is quite common in health care situations and more so in home health agencies with doofus owners. Sorry, can't control myself. A full moon is coming in a couple of

  19. Would you leave a new job for a better offer??

    erroridiot replied to mappers's topic in General Nursing

    You don't owe an employer any explanation for leaving and you don't have to participate in any exit interview. The explanation you give for leaving may perfectly reasonable, but to some employers it...

  20. pay per visit?

    erroridiot replied to GRnurse57's topic in Home Health

    It depends on the type of home care and if you are an RN or a LPN. Is this medicare certified or private duty? The mileage should be 58 cents/mile. If it isn't, you can keep track of it and deduct...

  21. What do you do when the CO's won't take action?

    erroridiot replied to katkonk's topic in Correctional

    Captain, Lt...... all the way up to the Warden is just more of the same. The guards are often experts at all kinds of abuse including psychological. They all "cover" for each other and are usually...

  22. What to do when the agency is beyond the help of a QA?

    erroridiot replied to erroridiot's topic in Quality Improvement

    The last 2 DONs left. They just hired another one. I turned down the job at least 20 times. Medicare has issues with noncompliance and reimbursement. Doctors are sending weird referrals. For...

  23. What to do when the agency is beyond the help of a QA?

    erroridiot posted a topic in Quality Improvement

    I was asked to review some charts and begin a QA department for a Home Health Agency. They have not had any QA at all prior to my arrival. Frankly, I have done this before, and maybe I am burned out,...

  24. What to do when the agency is beyond the help of a QA?

    erroridiot replied to erroridiot's topic in Quality Improvement

    We had one "untrainable" nurse who is now gone. All staff have had extensive inservices and training. Most of our cases are PT. The owner is the PT. That is the problem. The nurses won't stay...

  25. What to do when the agency is beyond the help of a QA?

    erroridiot replied to erroridiot's topic in Quality Improvement

    I'm still plugging away at this, but it is one step forward, 3 steps back. If the QA is appalled by what is seen on a daily basis during chart reviews, what chance does the agency have to survive...
