  3. ‘Patron saint of Patience’ is at end of her rope. Please advise.

    amoLucia replied to Mapleandhoney2468's topic in Home Health

    Bottom line - who is paying for care??? If insurance is requiring a new PCP for continuity of care and thus continuing pay't, then that should be the the answer. Is he paying out-of-pocket for his...

  5. Can I say no to (too much) call?

    amoLucia replied to roamingnome's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If all other staff are experiencing a similar increased call demand, I'd doubt you'd have much luck refusing. Was your commitment in writing? Unless you have a union contract backing, you'll just be...

  6. Trouble with my first job (home health)

    amoLucia replied to Canailsiren's topic in First Year After Licensure

    ^^^ this ^^^. Home health is tough enough and is usually NOT recommended for someone without some HH or other nsg experience. TBH, I'd proceed VERY VERY SLOWLY with this job, esp considering the...

    amoLucia replied to RN78's topic in First Year After Licensure

  9. Where’s the limit to accommodate a patient

    amoLucia replied to Lanimisses's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    A suggestion for those proposed compliances conversations is to have a witness present, preferably a UM, NP, doc, etc. Like Tennebrae so wisely recommended is to document the wazoo out of each...

  11. Company changed-- will I need to pay signon bonus back?

    amoLucia replied to Scarlettz's topic in Nursing Career

    Probably. Think about ... if the old company owed you something, you'd be expecting that detail. Just the roles have been reversed here. As commented, get a lawyer to review your contract. Those...

  12. Family refuses to meet in person

    amoLucia replied to NurseKel's topic in Private Duty

    I'm with you. Something just doesn't sound right. Maybe everything IS really OK, but too many options are being bypassed. WHY? Rule of thumb - when you get that weird feeling, follow it....

  13. Animal abuse

    amoLucia replied to K8e's topic in Psychiatric

    Interesting post. I'm thinking, if nurses are MANDATED reporters, would this not fall into that category? Like what if a nurse were to discover that the pt was planning a bombing at a school...

  14. Daily Testing for Unvaccinated Staff

    amoLucia replied to arlingtonnurse's topic in School

  19. Nursing Is No Longer Worth It

    amoLucia replied to AnonymousSuper's topic in Disaster Preparation

  20. Competitive Edge

    amoLucia replied to Jedrnurse's topic in School

  23. RN Meeting With Corporate Compliance Over "Privacy Matter" Looking for Advice

    amoLucia replied to EDNurseCleveland's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    She used her job position to open a chart without authorization. That's HIPAA. Things can be iffy dep on her place's compliance position. Sad that she's going to face some questions for something...

  24. Working the floor after a job interview!? WOW!...

    amoLucia replied to CritCareTech's topic in General Nursing

    OP - you were blindsided!!! Wonder if they ever pulled that trick on other unsuspecting interviewees? Dept of Labor might be interested

  25. Not getting paid to chart?

    amoLucia replied to paramedic-RN's topic in General Specialties

    Now if one is being paid as salary and NOT hourly, moot point. My concern for those 2 hours would be one's liability if there's any hand-on pt activity or even solitary activity like if the...
