  1. Would you do this???

    Luv2care0907 replied to RN1263's topic in Home Health

    This is becoming a wave of the future where seriously ill clients are sent home because it is more cost effective. On top of that, they are reducing our pay as RNs to care for

  2. Hooker in the house?

    Luv2care0907 replied to anticoagulationurse's topic in Home Health

    That was well said. I am sure that I would try to ere on the side of this being an unintentional incident. I would probably turn the covers of the videos over, personally, if they were as bad as some...

  3. Hooker in the house?

    Luv2care0907 replied to anticoagulationurse's topic in Home Health

    Everyone draws the line somewhere. I don't like to see people get hurt for any reason. I guarantee that you have a line. So, yes, I have one too. This...

  4. Hooker in the house?

    Luv2care0907 replied to anticoagulationurse's topic in Home Health

    I read this post before going to sleep today, was troubled by it, but too tired to respond. Now that I am awake, I have to tell you that I think there is a marked line between healthy sex and...

  5. Sad to leave LTC but not sure what to do?

    Luv2care0907 replied to pn2rn08's topic in Home Health

    I work in Florida. I am a little concerned about giving out too much personal information on this list. But suffice it to say that where I live, being a nurse is very very difficult. And

  6. Looking for guidance from a few HH vets.

    Luv2care0907 replied to eriksoln's topic in Home Health

    Yes, I was forced into this position. I submitted over 100 applications online to the hospitals in my area. I never was given an interview or anything from those who actually do the hiring. I...

  7. Sad to leave LTC but not sure what to do?

    Luv2care0907 replied to pn2rn08's topic in Home Health

    Home health is a unique field of nursing. You are going into someone's home and caring for a family member that is usually chronically ill. In the hospital or LTC facility, you do get close to...

  8. Looking for guidance from a few HH vets.

    Luv2care0907 replied to eriksoln's topic in Home Health

    If I had a hospital job and was working at it fine, there is no way I would do home health. The pay is half what you get. I am making $1 more than what the secretaries make in the hospital. I mean,...

  9. Looking for guidance from a few HH vets.

    Luv2care0907 replied to eriksoln's topic in Home Health

    When I first started home health, I had to take what was available. The ideal for us, as home health nurses, is to find a case and work it for an extended length of time even if it is once-a-day...

  10. It cost me $59.25 just to apply for a job?

    Luv2care0907 replied to Blackcat99's topic in Private Duty

    In my city, the police do fingerprinting for $5. As I recall, I had the documentation provided as well. I think they can be printed online. I had to print them on cardstock paper. Is that

  11. Was I wrong?

    Luv2care0907 replied to feisty_lpn's topic in Home Health

    I have had about six cases so far. Of those six cases, I have never been asked to do laundry. I have been asked to prepare food though. Of those six cases, I had three situations that were...

  12. Me vs. 3 year old

    Luv2care0907 posted a topic in Home Health

    I have a situation that is causing me to lose sleep. I work night shift. So the folks I work for do not oversee all that I am doing in their home. I often leave the house without their even coming...

  13. Medicaid pay reduction for RNs

    Luv2care0907 posted a topic in Home Health

    I found out today that Medicaid is no longer paying for an RN for certain cases but only LPN if the client doesn't have a "need" for an RN. Thus, I will now get another pay reduction to $16/hour....

  14. PALS, PEARS, and NRP done online

    Luv2care0907 posted a topic in General Nursing

    One of the pediatric hospitals that I have been applying to has these courses for a requirement for employment. Do you think they would accept these being done online? Has anyone taken them online?...

  15. Me vs. 3 year old

    Luv2care0907 replied to Luv2care0907's topic in Home Health

    I didn't want to say exactly where I live but. . . let us just say that it is a big metropolitan area with about 7 major hospitals and many walk in emergency rooms. I have submitted over 100...

  16. Me vs. 3 year old

    Luv2care0907 replied to Luv2care0907's topic in Home Health

    What a nice response. I think I just needed to hear that I wasn't wrong to think this was a little bizarre.

  17. do you care about your patients?

    Luv2care0907 replied to Rhee's topic in General Nursing

    I care. Nobody cares about me, my job, the pay, or anything else. I was told the day I signed up that they could terminate me without giving me a reason

  18. Hand washing question

    Luv2care0907 replied to Papercutz's topic in Home Health

    I don't fully trust handwashing either even though I use it frequently. I use gloves and those hand sanitizers more

  19. Home Care Fraud - How to escape.

    Luv2care0907 replied to erroridiot's topic in Home Health

    My agency does not do any of that and neither do I. I am at my job the time I say I'm there. In fact, in my orientation, the case managers made a big deal about being at the job the entire time that...

  20. New grad, new to home health - overwelmed

    Luv2care0907 replied to okhhnurse's topic in Home Health

    I wrote this is another thread but will say it here too. I made $2/hour for orientation (no joke). I am making as much money now as I made 20 years ago with a shift differential working night shift....

  21. New grad, new to home health - overwelmed

    Luv2care0907 replied to okhhnurse's topic in Home Health

    I am just back in the work-a-day world from a 20 year break. I retook the NCLEX May 2009 and passed with flying colors. Not one hospital would even consider me for a job. Finally, I got a job in...

  22. I passed!! Thank you, Suzanne!!

    Luv2care0907 replied to Luv2care0907's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    To be honest, I didn't get all of Suzanne's plan. I wrote on another thread on how I passed. https://allnurses.com/nclex-discussion-forum/just-failed-nclex-394866.html Hope it helps.

  23. I passed!! Thank you, Suzanne!!

    Luv2care0907 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I was a nurse and had quit back in 1992. I have been a stay-at-home mom all these years but I need to go back to work to help out. I had let my license go during a time when we had very little...

  24. Just failed Nclex, need advice please

    Luv2care0907 replied to orangevessel's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I had an epiphany this morning on how to explain this to you without divulging any sensitive information by using an analogy. We have all had to think critically throughout our lifetimes. When we...

  25. Just failed Nclex, need advice please

    Luv2care0907 replied to orangevessel's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am terribly sorry that you are going through this. I used Saunders and the new Mosby's. It wasn't so much the questions that helped me but the rationales that explained to me WHY the answer was the...
