Congratulations! I am very happy for you. I wish the best and success for you in the future!

So, what happened at the hearing? You never followed up with "more info to follow." You seemed to be the only IP in Ohio that knew about this hearing.

LOL How do you know none of us belong to or support any professional organizations?? I happen too...may not be the ones you want me to support, but really is it any of your business? Just because myself and others won't support the organizations who...

So, what is happening with this hearing? The 15th is fast approaching.....I have talked w/many independents, but nobody seems to know about this hearing!?

How true!!!

Your guess, would be as good as mine. I think, someone is just blowing smoke. The person who wrote that statement, could have privately emailed us through here or emailed IPS through our emails listed on carestar, but nothing.....nobody I know of has...

Oh my katnursey, " Then, we have the group of independents who are aware of what has gone down, but have no balls." LMAO, You ARE SO RIGHT!! I sent emails out to IP nurses, as well as the IP HHA/PCA in my area and received only one response!!!!!!!!!...

When I had worked for an agency providing homecare nursing, I had my background check/fingerprints done. I was told it would be done annually. Since I have been a independent provider nurse for the state waiver program, I am checked annually. More an...

IPS, IPS, come out where ever you are...

Let me know how it goes. Definitely call the board, but do not give your name. Also, try posting on here asking if there are any nurses with prior DUI or in a similiar situation, and see if you cannot get more of a response. I wish, I had more info s...

And I was voicing mine. Sorry, but when someone starts off with a phrase like "I will try to be nice. I am amazed at the people who appear to be totally clueless, not only what is happening, but what has transpired in the past" it is annoying. Trust...

Not as many as you think are clueless. Tell me who do we trust? Do you have the documentation to substantiate your statement that the LPNAO and Ohioip.net fought and had that rescinded? IPS were fighting and did not know which way to turn. If I r...

JMO Independents do not need a union.......we are independent providers for a reason. We do need a voice to rally on our behalf, but not a union. I don't know who encouraged you "TO LET ALL IPS KNOW AND FIND A Safe Legal WAY TO BE HEARD." I personal...

OH MY! Do I dare say this new rule was fabricated. Seriously though, is this a new rule? IP nurses cannot work a case for 2 weeks, but an agency nurse can :yeah:OH MY, OH MY, OH MY....

Is this subject now a mute issue? Nobody has anything to say? No updates? NOTHING?

I do not know anything about this type of situation. I would think, if you contacted the board of nursing and asked them, you could find out. You do not have to give them your name. Just tell them you are considering getting back into nursing and hav...

Why do you think that is? Personally, I feel this would be a time all IPS would want to pull together, support and stand up for each other. What are they afraid of? IPS are NOT responding to the pay cut anywhere that I am aware of. Not just on here, ...

Independent Provider nurses are not more difficult to control. We have to follow the OHC rules just like agency nurses. We are audited on our paperwork and billing just like agencies. Trust me, we are held accountable for everything and MORE. We have...

Who is having this hearing on August 15th? Almost all IPS emails and phone numbers are listed on Carestar for contacting. IPS are just a small group of people trying to make an honest living. People like us do not ever get support, so I doubt a heari...

Just say no and briefly explain you are only available on your scheduled days to work.

You are 100 % correct. IPS solved their problem. The agencies whined about it. I worked for a agency a few years ago for about 6-7 months. I was told consumers should not be able to request services from independent providers only!! Well that right c...

I am glad I finally had the time to sign up on this site and speak my mind! I am confused about the 20 % pay cut. My billing co. told me it was 20 % for the first and every hr. Then I hear from other nurses who talked to their billing companies they ...
