I just quit as an RN home health case manager in June to go work at an office at an insurance company. I will not miss going into filthy, insect infested homes. There were many nights when I was wondering if I brought bed bugs home and what I would...

I just left a job as an RN case manager/team leader in home health and I worked there for a little over 2 years. I learned a lot while I was there but that job is not for someone that wants to come home and relax after work. Depending on how big yo...

I am currently an RN case manager for a home health agency. Does anyone in home health ever get a raise? I have worked here for over 2 years and instead of a raise, we got a pay cut and the amount of paperwork we are required to do is like twice as...

Good for you for finding a decent place for home care. I am planning to leave home health and never looking back. Over the 2 years I worked there every RN meeting we had we had more work loaded on us and less pay so I am kind of jaded at this point...

I am interested in the dual FNP/PMHNP certification also.

A lot of the time when I call doctors for anything, they never call me back. The 485 is faxed to the doctor so they will know what is going when they sign the 485.

Do you like it and how are the professors? Do they do Powerpoints and lectures or is it like a lot of schools that tell you to go read 100 pages and then write a paper? Are you glad you picked Bradley? I know there are some other schools where the...

I am 47 years old, have an MSN in leadership and haven't been able to find a job that is any different than the jobs I could get with a BSN. I am going to apply to get a post master's certificate for either psych np or family np. I can't imagine wo...

Anyone that has started this program will you please give me some feedback on it? I am thinking about applying at Bradley.

I feel the same way you do. We even had a pay cut and our documentation requirements have increased. I will be working in home health for 2 years in March and it just gets worse and worse. No raises ever. I try to do my charting in the car after ...

I am an RN case manager and I have already had a pay cut. If I have over 25 visits a week, I only get paid LPN rate for those visits but we are required to do more work. The LPNs are allowed more visits than the RNs where I work so they make more m...

I am a home health psych RN case manager but I also do medical stuff like wound care, picc lines, etc. I like the psych cases the best. You usually lock their meds in a lockbox and do daily or BID visits to make sure they are compliant with their m...

I work in psych home health and I love it. Last week I had 40 visits but I have many patients in one building. We are required to do 25 visits per week but get paid for 40. The max patients the RN case mgrs are allowed to see per day is 10. So, i...

I am an RN case manager doing psych home health. I don't call my patients ahead of time because they expect someone to come everyday to give them their meds. A lot of them have lock boxes we keep their med planners in. Our goal is med monitoring t...

Libby1987, I just interviewed for an RN case mgr position and they said a skilled nursing visit is $25. I thought that was low too. I also interviewed for another RN case mgr position and they pay $28.50 per visit. I think that is low too. I have...

You should be getting your acceptance letters any day now, I just got mine. :) I can't believe I got in.

In the city I live in, getting a job with just an ADN is almost impossible if you don't know someone. We have 12 nursing schools in this city pumping out ADN and BSN nurses all competing for nursing jobs. I had to take a community health nursing jo...

I say go for it. Find an employer that has tuition reimbursement so you won't take on any debt. I work as an RN at a community mental health agency and I work with a case manager that is 70 years old and I don't think she is quitting any time soon....

That is weird because they never asked me if I worked full or part-time, they just asked me for a current résumé which only lists my job duties.

I am starting the RN-MSN Education program on Sept 1st. :)

I am a community health psych nurse and there are a couple of our patients in our group on the sustenna and they have made complete recoveries. They have been on it for over a year and they are having no problems. I am on the fence with the Risperd...

I graduated nursing school in Dec 2012 and got my license in Feb 2013. I started a psych nursing job the beginning of May. I am a psych nurse who goes out in the community, assesses clients in their home, delivers their meds and gives them injectio...

I have been working 2 weeks as a psych community outreach nurse. I visit clients on Medicaid that have severe mental illnesses. I am only able to do pharmalogical management. I do a health and psych assessment. I find out what meds they are takin...

I am taking the OU music 1200 but it is the online class out of the Zanesville branch. I think the books are the same. The book I am required is the Music: An Appreciation by Kamian, it is the brief version, 7th edition. I rented it from Amazon. ...

The music 1200 syllabus is already up on blackboard. I wish all the classes posted early like this.
