  1. Need help with job offers!!

    livelaughlove09 replied to MotoRN34's topic in Home Health

    I would definitely clarify the on call responsibilities. If you will be case managing I see a future of assessments for you and not many routine visits. Will you be working with an LPN? In that...

  2. Need help with job offers!!

    livelaughlove09 replied to MotoRN34's topic in Home Health

    I wouldn't do salary home health unless your agency has an issue with census and referrals. There's a lot more to examine here, what is expected productivity? How far will you be traveling? Are...

  3. Overworked Home health RN

    livelaughlove09 replied to jeepluv818's topic in Home Health

    1 RN for 350 patients is ludicrous. there is no way you can provide any type of quality care for those patients. Your agency is also probably not getting your LPN supervisory visits completed as...

  4. Nurses who hate patients - advice

    livelaughlove09 posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm afraid I'm too idealistic. I'm actually reeling and so irritated I want to jump out of my skin. Here's my situation... I want to spew all the information but of course you never know who's...

  5. Home Health RNs: mileage reimbursement?

    livelaughlove09 replied to iridium54's topic in Home Health

    Usually the mileage is not paid to the first patient and from the last patient to your house but everything is in between. That's odd. Mileage is a big deal, it adds up quickly, and is sometimes the...

  6. Mercy SON Spring 2012 Hopefulls

    livelaughlove09 replied to DeepDimples's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hi there! I graduated from Mercy and was in the accelerated program. Mercy gets two thumbs up from me. They have a fantastic program with knowledgeable educators and give you every opportunity for...

  7. Where does the job end?

    livelaughlove09 replied to MomRN0913's topic in Home Health

    That's a terrible shame the experience you had. I'm sorry for that. Not all agencies are like that. Good luck to

  8. Where does the job end?

    livelaughlove09 replied to MomRN0913's topic in Home Health

    Same thing. Work all day, try to get all charting done in home and handle issues there but it can put you in a time crunch if you're carrying a full or overfull load. I myself would work 24/7 if I...

  9. New to home health

    livelaughlove09 replied to MakemehappyRN's topic in Home Health

    All this really depends on the agency. I never considered home health, in fact it was at the bottom (rock bottom) of my list of nursing jobs I was interested in doing. Surprise surprise! I love...

  10. Do you have this problem too?

    livelaughlove09 replied to nursynurseRN's topic in Home Health

    I like to schedule with mine for their next visit as well, I just can't lock down a time with them unless day they're the closest ones to my house. I have a very large area and we get SOC's the day...

  11. Home Health RNs: mileage reimbursement?

    livelaughlove09 replied to iridium54's topic in Home Health

    I shouldn't be giggling at this but I am. You'll get it in a second. You HAVE to be reimbursed mileage, and run run run if you don't. I actually bought a car to use for work (used...4w drive)...

  12. Do you have this problem too?

    livelaughlove09 replied to nursynurseRN's topic in Home Health

    "if you have a better social life than I do, you're not homebound."

  13. Do you have this problem too?

    livelaughlove09 replied to nursynurseRN's topic in Home Health

    I have this problem sometimes. I'll tell you what I do. First let me say I am NOT the most organized person, but it can bite me sometimes, so i just keep it simple. I make my schedule for the next...

  14. Failed NCLEX with Kaplan..bummed

    livelaughlove09 replied to Lucy12784's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Kaplan is supposed to give you a money back guarantee. At least they did when they pitched it to my school. I didn't personally use them, because they told me they didn't review content in the...

  15. So we want to be respected as educated professionals?

    livelaughlove09 replied to Guttercat's topic in General Nursing

    Then again, some of it could be the forum, because it just reformatted my last

  16. So we want to be respected as educated professionals?

    livelaughlove09 replied to Guttercat's topic in General Nursing

    This irritates me to no end. Text speak? I don't even read. One of my pet peeves has always been misspelled words, or using the wrong form of a word (ie there, their, they're)Not sure why it...

  17. What does the RN do all day?

    livelaughlove09 replied to nolamomx2's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    There's a huge difference between a dialysis unit in a hospital and an outpatient dialysis clinic. HUGE. When I was in nursing school and spent time in the dialysis unit it was very different than...

  18. What does the RN do all day?

    livelaughlove09 replied to nolamomx2's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Hahaha, all this brings back such horrible memories. I started in a dialysis clinic straight out of nursing school and it took me all of less than 3 months to figure out I better find another job...

  19. How long to train an RN to be a tech?

    livelaughlove09 replied to madwife2002's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Amen. I'm new to dialysis, training, and have not had much experience with the machines and turnover. I can strip a machine, set one up, look over the alarms (tmp/art pressure for example) and do...

  21. Any Jobs in the Charlotte Area?

    livelaughlove09 replied to crohnieGlo's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    If you have experience the job market doesn't seem bad here. New Grads are having a terrible time. Check out Carolinas Healthcare System, they're the larger of the employers. If you check their...

  22. My mom is 54, has been in RN and now LPN school for 4 years. Please help.

    livelaughlove09 replied to thebestmom's topic in General Students

    There are part time RN programs. My school offers one that's 7 semesters total (but you're off in summer and they count that as a semester, so it's actually 5 going to classes), nights and weekends....

  23. NICU Observation - What an experience! What to do next?

    livelaughlove09 posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Hello everyone! I spent a day in the NICU as an observation experience during my pediatric rotation. I usually do patient care in clinical for peds on a progressive care unit with some pretty acute...

  24. MGH is offering new grad ICU internship for $11.44 an hour?

    livelaughlove09 replied to DisneybearRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    And again, not bashing unions, I've been unionized in other occupations before, we just don't have unions for nurses here. The PP made generalized statements of their own about their lazy workforce...

  25. Mixed Emotions About Nsg School

    livelaughlove09 replied to emptyboxcars's topic in General Students

    Well there's lots of different opinions here, so at least you get it from all sides. I agree with a lot of the other previous posts and my experience has been the same as a lot of theirs. I too am a...
