1. Home Health - Is it worth the pay?

   TBohmRN replied to michaellorenzo's topic in Home Health

   I work in home health, and we pay our nurses hourly- not per visit. Many agencies do a point system, it really varies from agency to agency.... but in my opinion hourly would be the best option. We...

2. QAPI... help!

   TBohmRN replied to TBohmRN's topic in Home Health

   Yeah that was extremely helpful input… thank you! I’ve been managing to figure it out though on the days I’m not out seeing patients. Also, “a lot” is two

3. QAPI... help!

   TBohmRN posted a topic in Home Health

   I am new to home health, but have been in LTC nursing for about 15 years. I was only involved in 1 or 2 QAPI meetings at the tail-end of my LTC work, and now am working on QAPI for the home health...

4. LTC, COVID-19 & Visits

   TBohmRN posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

   Just wondering if any other LTC nurse's have any input on guidance in regards to out-of-facility visits for the residents and Covid. It has been said that we can allow out-of-facility visits if they...

5. Patient's "right" to abuse nurses...I need your opinion

   TBohmRN replied to MsNewbee's topic in General Nursing

   I'm reading all of these comments, well skimming them to be honest... what are you going to do with the patient? They're justified to be there by their need for medical treatment (I'm assuming or...

6. ICD 10 coding for depression & PASRR

   TBohmRN posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

   Unsure where else to post this, and can't really find any helpful information anywhere so thought I'd leave this here and see if anyone has any input. Since our ICD 10 switchover, *every* person with...

7. If you could redo it....would you choose nursing?

   TBohmRN replied to ICURNPA92's topic in General Nursing

   WITHOUT A DOUBT! When I started this, I was a young single mother and wasn't sure what I wanted to do with my life. My mom was a nurse, but it definitely was not on my radar growing up. I got my...

8. Is this within my scope?

   TBohmRN replied to idasavealife's topic in General Nursing

   In Iowa, the LPN scope does not allow an LPN to perform an INITIAL admission assessment in LTC. Once the initial is done, if the LPN has taken the supervisory course required by the Iowa Board of...

9. Night shift-no keys to central supply no keys to get briefs

   TBohmRN replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

   It's hard to say that they are being intentionally "withheld" from the patients. It needs to be brought up with administration/management first. Do they know it's an issue? Is it possible for the...

10. Skilled Notes

    TBohmRN replied to Isitpossible's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Ive worked in LTC for over 10 years. We do skilled assessments once a shift. My facility has a "skilled assessment" template/form on our system. It's basically a head-to-toe assessment, and make...

11. Long Term Care Nursing is Lame

    TBohmRN replied to purplegal's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    To each their own... everyone has their "thing". I love long term care. I'm intrigued by critical care and emergency work, however long term care is where my heart is. And as for them getting paid...

12. CNA with One Year of Prerequisites for Nursing

    TBohmRN replied to Vsantucci's topic in General Nursing

    I got my LPN about 11 years ago at a community college. I continued on for my RN immediately, but ended up dropping due to other things going on (attempting to work full time and raising a child)....

13. Tardive Dyskinesia Screening

    TBohmRN replied to shlay51's topic in Patient Medications

    I would think if it hasn't been used, it wouldn't pose a threat, therefore you wouldn't need ongoing screening. HOWEVER, the first thing I would do is DC the order for PRN Compazine due to non-usage...
