  8. Talk to me about orientation

    Tender HH RN replied to KateRN1's topic in Home Health

    I completely agree 4evernrs. We actually are still dealing with paper forms because we are fairly new but we had a separate training to focus on paperwork. It took time, but we created documents that...

    Tender HH RN replied to RN1263's topic in Home Health

    Tender HH RN replied to Tender HH RN's topic in Home Health
