Hi everyone! So this Health Assessment class has taken its toll on me! I can definitely recommend an instructor not to take for this class :) Hope all of you are doing well and enjoying as much as you can of your summer.

Hi jjPedsRN, my instructor although she has required an extra question a week for us that counts as part of our participation she hasn't been all that bad. The class is just time consuming but from what I hear all the classes are this way and we just...

Hi all, I recently started GCU online on March 31st. I'm currently in my 5th week of my 2nd class Family Centered Health Promotion and will be starting Health Assessment next week. I'm happy to see that there are some of you that just started so we c...

Thank you, Tokmom for your motivating words. I'm getting out of my little funk, I think. I'm getting so excited for this class to be over so I can start Health Assessment. Are there any recommendations for this class? Or any instructors to avoid? PM ...

Tokmom, OMG!!! No FUN! I'm sure this cold/flu hasn't helped one bit, I've just felt totally wiped out. It's encouraging to know that although the the material from the class is probably the easiest (from what I hear), it's the adjusting that makes i...

Rainyn, I totally understand that panic/anxiety. It's easy to say just do your school work while on vacation but nobody wants to do school work while on vacation :/ With summer coming up which includes family vacations I'm having anxiety just thinkin...

Hello all, does anyone have any recommendations on what instructors to take or avoid for Health Assessment? Please PM me and thank you in advance :)

Rainyn, I don't plan on taking a break after this class but I'm definitely going to consider it. I find it sad that it's only my second class and I'm feeling this way. I'm thinking it could possibly be that I've been fighting this cold/flu for the la...

Hi Rainyn, I'm also in Family Centered Health but just started my 4th week and I feel my motivation for school going down hill real fast

Hi everyone! I love reading all these helpful tips! I'm so glad that I have found these GCU threads with all you current students. I'm currently in my second class and it's going better than I had imagined but it's definitely very time consuming. I h...

Hi everyone, so like many after reading this thread and some others I decided to go with GCU :) I started 3/31/14 and so far so good. I'm in my 2nd week of my 2nd class. This whole wrting papers is something that I'm slowly getting used to. I've nev...

I've been a nurse in med-surg for nearly 3 years now. I work 12hr night shifts 3 days a week at a small hospital. I recently just had my 3rd child and I'm thinking I need a little more structure at home. I'm looking for an 8-5 job, a job that allows ...

Hi MyusernameRN! So before entering home health I was very much warned about how difficult it was and was told it would take about a year before I become comfortable and begin to understand. Well, it's been 9 months since I started and at the beginni...

As a Case Manager that's paid per visit how often does your office require you to go to the office?

No way!!! They'll drop off supplies and pick up paperwork??? Sign me up! Lol nope we have to go to the office daily for our daily corrections and to turn in paperwork! We have to turn in paperwork the next day. I can't wait to go to tablets which is...

Ok, we are required to go daily to make corrections and to turn in paperwork and we also have weekly case conference :/ this ends up turning in to hours at the office, which is unpaid for except for our weekly case conference.

I started HH in January and still learning a lot and spending a lot of time at the office making corrections (which I don't get paid for), how do you make corrections when your computerized?

I'd like to know the answer to this too! :)

So, I'm very nervous, we just got word that inspectors/surveyors are in town and I'm dreading that they'll pick me to do a ride along :/ I've only worked HH for 6 months and still feel like I have tons to learn so I don't feel prepared to go out with...

I've been working for a HH agency since January that is 100% paper charting although I love case managing my pts the paper work is just ridiculous! !! Am I naive to think that once we go to computers it's going to cut down some of the charting time a...

So I recently got hired at a HH agency as a Case Manager RN. Yesterday I went and took a pre employment test and I met a nurse that has been working there since 2008. I introduced myself and she was extremely friendly. She asked if I had ever done HH...

Ugh, I have charting to do as well but I'll tackle it tonight or early morning :/ I just started working HH as a case manager. Although I love the patient interaction and the $$ is good the paperwork is frustrating!!! I'm still new so I haven't gotte...

So, tomorrow I start my new adventure in Home health! I've been off work since June d/t having a baby and so starting work tomorrow is bringing on the crazy emotions of leaving my baby & starting a new job I'm sad, scared, nervous, excited and s...

Hi everyone! As you all know I just started HH earlier this month and WOW what a difference from the hospital scene but I'm so far enjoying learning and the pt interaction. I've been doing my own visits and at times have felt overwhelmed with all the...

Thank you so much for your reply! I hope & pray that I love HH & that it works with my family life!
