   pnkgirl25 posted a topic in Home Health

   I sometimes drop by patients home when I am in the area and they are someone I have been unable to meet by phone. I was thinking of having business cards made up that say Front: Sorry I missed you,...

6. Do you rotate patients? HELP

   pnkgirl25 replied to pnkgirl25's topic in Home Health

   I guess because I am still with only one agency I tend to let my patients run me out of fear they will call the office and request another nurse who will do the schedule they want...and then I'm left...

7. Do you rotate patients? HELP

   pnkgirl25 replied to pnkgirl25's topic in Home Health

   to be honest I never really thought about the time spent charting. I usually chart while watching tv or while sitting in the park watching my daughter play so I never really thought of it as something...

    You have luck with same day appointments? Lucky. If I called my pts same day 1/2 of them would not answer the phone, the other half would want to tell me when THEY want to be seen. I typically see 7-9...
