RN In FL

I live in the Pensacola/Milton/Tallahassee area. I am in need of an RN refresher course, due to expired RN license. I have searched high and low on the site, and cant find anything. Its even difficult to locate anything from the Board of Nursing, ...

Understood, sis. Thats just why I will never go back. Seems all acute want these days are certifications, and acronyms, behind your RN anyway. Glad I am an old nurse too at 56??

I am just DONE. ???

I tell ya, I am an "old skool RN" meaning I graduated back in 1983. When we went to nursing school, WE KNEW WE WANTED TO TAKE CARE OF PEOPLE! We were sure we wanted to be nurses, there was no complaining after we were blessed to graduate and sit bo...

How can one research with being a new grad with NO EXPERIENCE

....or finishing up a nursing program ON LINE.....with no clinicals......

Are these accredited schools? I would really research all of these money making online programs. I mean who ever heard of Micro or A&P WITH NO LAB......RED FLAG FOR PROFIT SCHOOLS. BEWARE!!!

I am pretty sure you will need to collect all your receipts and submit expense reports for all meals and cab fare. I am quite sure you will be getting an itinerary with all the details about the food allowances and rental car. When I trained I had ...

I did training in Cincinnati, OH...for work at home telephonic concurrent review position. I was flown there for 2 wks to learn the system/software only. Flew to Daytona Bch for 2 wks to orient for the job which was a joke. All was on the company....

All of the above you just mentioned is why got out of correctional nursing, I was basically terminated. I asked too many questions. Things were not documented, the LPN's lacked assessment skills, taking "patients" off meds....especially psych meds,...

I worked for a private company, as a DON, supervising only LPN's. I was hired in to "change the culture....a breath of fresh air", so to speak, by the HSA. It was a totally different story. I lasted 3 months to protect my license. The LPN's ran t...

Thats just it, you are only enforcing medical benefits that the individuals company (their HR) have purchased, because they don't know how, they aren't medical. However, they put the medical benefit package together. Its like they went grocery shop...

Why on earth would you want to become "involved" with this industry? Is it because you were promised a high return for your investment, as a franchisee?? Home care is the "hottest investment going right now? How much involvement are you going to "i...

I worked with Humana, WAH, UR/CM. It is totally a FT job, from my experiences, WellCare has PT WAH positions. Don't think the Humana's or the Aetna's do. After all the hours I put in, working at home, I probably was making 10.00 to 11.00/hr. They...

Anna, sounds like we worked for the same company. All they were interested in was metrics! I got so sick of communicating with my Team Lead via IM's I didn't know what to do. I thought working at home would be "cushy" as well. HA!

Working from home is tough, tough, tough, and tougher.....LOL. Its not cracked up like one thinks it may be. been there done that, and never before ever felt so trapped, and stifled and could not breath (

No Libby1987, from what I am seeing. The SOC, of course is, the old, "DC with HHC". So we go from there with the teaching. OK I can see, the initial, but for recert, that's where I have the problem. Maybe I am missing something. By the end of th...

You hit the nail on the head....I could not get it out. Redundant teaching. That's what we are re-certing. CHF, HTN, CVA....S/S. I mean c'mon, how much teaching, for many of these lil old people, bless their hearts.

Seems home heath isn't like it used to be with procedures, imo

Are you able to use the PT as a skilled visit?? Where I work, that would not be SNV, we would have to elaborate on "teaching and education, then throw the lab draw in there. But just documenting the PT only is not. 98% of my visits are "teaching" ...

If you are paid per visit, I bet you won't...I would sure check it out. I have been on my job since Jan. and am seriously looking. Only RN's can do the SOC, ROC, and RCT's. Its too much when you are a small agency, and the admits are steady flowin...

At my HHA, to me, they "tweak" the OASIS entirely too much for me. Especially with the SOB, with exertion, ambulation over uneven pavement, with walker, when people can clearly ambulate with a straight cane. I don't get that part. I am old skool h...

At my company, completing the OASIS is not the problem, its the 50 million other pieces of papers the agency has us to complete. Therapy triggers, Adult assessment, Discipline coordination, Chart Audit, 60 day summary, MD order sheet, Supply List, M...

My children are all grown, and stable in their careers. I tell ya, if it wasn't for this mortgage, I would love to get out and work at Dollar General Store, they are popping up on every corner!! I have no other skills, besides nursing, been at it 3...

If I were you, I would not do any of that, and have my license on the line, because 9 times out of 10, if something happened, you would not be supported....j/s You worked hard for your license. They do not like sending inmates out and those men/wom...
