  1. Cuts to Medicare: What impact on HH?

    Mijourney replied to Mijourney's topic in Home Health

    From NRSKaren's posting, one can see that Medicare and Medicaid are very complex animals indeed. Maybe I'm wrong for thinking this, but it irritates me that HH care is thrown in with LTC which means...

  2. Backgruond?

    Mijourney replied to -Midget-'s topic in Nursing Informatics

    Thanks. What I mean is what is the average length of time that a nurse stays in the informatics field at the

  3. Backgruond?

    Mijourney replied to -Midget-'s topic in Nursing Informatics

    I also wonder what the average tenure is for an informatics

  4. Job has not called back yet! ugh!

    Mijourney replied to Sophoula123's topic in Nursing Career

    Sometimes longer. Did you mail or email a thank you note to the interviewer? Sometimes those followups will get their attention especially if they have alot of applicants to go through. I would do...

  5. Nurses who haven't been doing acute care

    Mijourney replied to jen42's topic in Nursing Career

    I agree that nurses that haven't been doing acute care in years are a tough sell. But, I feel that there are those nurses who have worked in a variety of settings that are open to change. I'm one of...

  6. Legislation affecting TN nurses

    Mijourney replied to crich's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I guess the issue about grandfathering in certain specialists is not whether the person can perform hands on skills in an expert manner, but if that person is a well-rounded clinician. To me this is...

  7. Caseloads

    Mijourney replied to Mijourney's topic in Case Management

    I think that's great that you are given 30-35 cases and you are satisfied with that. I wonder if there are any standards to what is an appropriate case load. As the population becomes more demanding...

  8. Promise of Nursing for Tennessee gala

    Mijourney replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    i think that the $350k is a great start. i know this may not be related to the above but, i also wonder if there is a such thing as loan forgiveness for those nursing grads who agree to work in the...

  9. Billing and NPs

    Mijourney replied to Mijourney's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Then I guess my question is that if physicians are not supervising the NP but the NP is using the physician's number to bill with isn't that a problem that could lead to chart audits? It would seem...

  10. Billing and NPs

    Mijourney posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If an NP bills under a physician's number, does this mean that the physician supervised them on that office visit? Can a NP bill under a physician's number without that physician being within...

  11. Number of Disease Management nurses

    Mijourney replied to renerian's topic in Case Management

    I know a little of HMC. They are part of Anthem/Wellpoint bluecross blueshield. I guess my reservation with this company is that they're cutting back on their benefits. Especially retirement...

  12. Job Offer ! Hoorah!

    Mijourney replied to emeraldga's topic in Case Management

    Congratulations on your job offers. I would think that most case management positions would put you in line for the CCM. In fact, the employer I work for currently requires us to have it. I have...

  13. Informatics Nurse at Heart

    Mijourney replied to rninformatics's topic in Nursing Informatics

    Well, I suppose it depends on what the nurse informaticist is expected to emphasize. Should she/he help IT work the various databases and systems or should she/he just focus on clinician education?...

  14. Personal Safety

    Mijourney replied to Nellie Nurse's topic in Home Health

    I agree with the previous posters. HH can be unsafe. In addition to some of what the previous posters wrote, I've had pet dogs growl at me and one tried to bite me. That's why I carried pepper...

  15. Informatics Nurse at Heart

    Mijourney replied to rninformatics's topic in Nursing Informatics

    Rninformatics, what difference does it make whether the nurse informaticist is from the IT department or from the nursing department? Does this impact the nurses any differently?

  16. Happy settings for nursing

    Mijourney replied to cate1198's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm sorry for what you're having to deal with, but if you want to stay in the hospital, you'll just have to move around until you find that place of comfort. I don't think the nursing home...

  17. New Grad/HH - what should I do?

    Mijourney replied to epiphany's topic in Home Health

    Maybe it's because I'm a little old school, but I don't think you can appreciate HH until you've done your time at the hospital bedside. I'm surprised anyone would hire a new graduate to do HH. It's...

    Great,

  20. Considering a nursing career but my background is unrelated

    Mijourney replied to isnursing4me's topic in Nursing Career

    I know of a research nurse who works in the pharmaceutical industry and makes $60-$70/hour as a contract nurse. If you are interested in staying in the pharmaceutical industry, check out the...

  22. Considering home health nursing

    Mijourney replied to cydney7's topic in Home Health

    Traveler gave you a good example of a day in the life of a HH nurse. That's a pretty good day to me. Some days as in the institutional environment are not so good. Those are the days you need to be...

  23. Specialty to fit Personality Type?

    Mijourney replied to RebaAdams's topic in Nursing Career

    I think as you go through nursing school, you should get a feel for what you like. Once you graduate, you can always start out on a med-surg unit to give you some hands on everything in order to...

  24. SINI - Summer Institute in Nursing Informatics

    Mijourney replied to rninformatics's topic in Nursing Informatics

    Darn, I just found out I won't be able to make it this year. Would have loved to make the social hours and the exhibitions. Well, there's always next year if the Lord's willing. Hopefully, I'll be...

  25. Unsure of Nights

    Mijourney replied to ErinRNBSN's topic in Nursing Career

    I worked nights for several years and it was good for me as far as getting things done during the day. But, as I felt draggy all the time I eventually gave it up. I think nights is good for those of...
