I just accepted a part time position doing remote triage for CareXM. I've seen a lot of negatives about triage and how stressful it can be and get burnt out easily. I'm hoping since I'll only be part time, 5 hours in the evening 4 days a week that it...

I have done the first interview with CareXM and am moving on to the 2nd one next week. I am just looking for any experiences working for or interviewing with CareXM for remote triage nurse? Or any advice for interviewing for a triage position? They t...

I just applied to upgrade my FL license to a Compact license, as it wasn't a compact state at the time I was initially licensed. I am confused about needing to have fingerprinting done through Livescan. I already have fingerprints on file in the Clea...

No I work for a couple national agencies, I don't know anything about working independently as a Medicaid provider, sorry.

My dream is to move to the Florida panhandle in the next 2 years and I was wondering what the job outlook would be for me as an RN in home health care, specifically private duty care. Are there plenty of agencies in the area? Do they have enough c...

Hi Renee! Great news, I did relocate to Florida in 2013 and have been happily working my private duty nursing job for the last 3 years! Let me know if you have specific questions, I'm not sure if you can send private messages on here? I don't get on ...

If anyone has a copy of the cheat sheet I could sure use it! Much appreciated!

Hello all, I have been working home health/private duty for about 5 years and was finally burnt out and wanted to return to a facility environment. I just landed a PRN position on the women's behavioral health unit. This will be my first psych exper...

Thank you both and thanks for that great link on medications, it was exactly what I was looking for!

I just wanted to say you and I have the same exact way of thinking! I also don't work holidays, not while my son is little, and I think that is a special time the families might appreciate enjoying themselves, without a nurse hanging around. "I work...

After 5 years in private duty and now that I am a RN I am burnt out with this field and ready to transition to doing home health visits. I am just curious as to how it works when you need to take time off. I like to take a week off a couple times a y...

That sounds amazing, I hope I can find an agency like yours!

I just moved to FL about 3 months ago and obtained my FL license by endorsement. I have checked the bon website but am still confused on when our renewal is!? And since I was newly licensed in FL this year does that mean this next renewal coming up I...

I work for a private duty agency in FL and just got a new case where there are 2 brothers in the home that receive care and only one nurse. In another state I worked on a case that were twins but each one got a seperate nurse. I feel like it is doubl...

One is a trach and both have Gtubes and require feedings at night. They are in seperate bedrooms and the nurse is expected to sit in the living room and listen for alarms. I am not going to accept this case. I don't feel comfortable having 2 patients...

So one of the perks I enjoy about private duty is having a flexible schedule, and usually that involved not working weekends or holidays if I didn't want to. I just started back on at an agency I worked with a while back, the openings they had were f...

Ahhh finally a reply! Thank you so much Blackcat99!

Nope still waiting for house to sell and can't find anyone to tell me what they make in private duty.

Hi I am a RN from MO hoping to relocate to Florida in the next year. I have read over the sticky on CEU's but am still a little confused! Do you have to get CEU's every month to total 24 in two years, or say can you do 4 here, 8 there... do them all ...

Thank you SO much for your quick response!

Hi, sorry I can't give any info on the hospital but I am looking into moving to Pensacola and was wondering what the pay rates are like there? Did they tell you what starting pay was with the offer, if you don't mind me asking? I'm not from the state...

Sorry I can't offer any advice but just wanted to say I'm in the same boat as all of you! I would love to relocate to the Pensacola area, specifically Navarre, within the next few years and would love to network with some other nurses in the area! If...

I've been taking care of the same 1 client for over 2 and a half years now and am getting so burnt out! I make my own hours, I have seniority for being there the longest, and I get a lot of downtime because it's night shift so I can bring my laptop, ...

thanks so much for your input Kyasi, very wise words! Gives me something to think about... In the meantime I will be getting a much deserved extended break from the family when I go on maternity leave very soon!

Thanks for your replies! Had another hellish shift having to listen to ******** and complaining from pcg and verbal abuse from client... I like "the grass is always greener on the other side" metaphor it's so true but man after a hellish shift it rea...
