  3. Have you ever?

    Willow Moonsidhe replied to Willow Moonsidhe's topic in Home Health

    I have watched the videos on Oasis and thought I had a pretty good grasp. There is a big push to see progress and to score on worse side than better so in the end it looks like head way on function...

  4. Have you ever?

    Willow Moonsidhe replied to Willow Moonsidhe's topic in Home Health

    I just told them the questions were answered honestly. I am not sure what else to do. It sure did make me feel uncomfortable. I felt like saying if the computer can assess from the office why not send...

  8. Home Health Care agencies

    Willow Moonsidhe replied to Willow Moonsidhe's topic in Home Health

    I work for Interim and I have an interview with Amedisys; just don't want to leave the frying pan for the fire. I feel that girl at work is never going to let up. They think the sun rises and sets...

    Willow Moonsidhe posted a topic in Home Health

    I have to vent a little tonight. I know one thing I do not like about home health is when ADON brings you a discharge to write up just as you are leaving. Knowing field people work many more hours...

    Willow Moonsidhe replied to Willow Moonsidhe's topic in Home Health

    The ADON asked me yesterday to please not leave, to reconsider. I asked what the DON's response was. Only thing she wanted to know was how much notice I had given. Then I asked the ADON if the DON...

  16. G-tube dressing change

    Willow Moonsidhe replied to MrsWeb's topic in Home Health

    That will not hurt at all. I see the sponge as a way to keep the tube from rubbing and causing skin breakdown. It seems to help to me. Blessings

    Willow Moonsidhe replied to funmom's topic in General Nursing
