    CharleeFoxtrot replied to KelsLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Can a RN work as a home health nurse without an agency?

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to MAS's topic in Home Health

    Off the top of my head musings. An agency must be accredited to be allowed to bill medicare, etc., not sure that is something feasible for an individual to obtain. Also you must have policies,...

    Paramedic to RN

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to Jesse Duncan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh my gosh yes! In my bridge program we (I am including myself in the paragod corner here) got over that delusion right quick. Those rough edges got ground smooth by the second rotation. I still have...

    Nurses Eat Their Young

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to MBar1's topic in General Nursing

    I think it needs to be on a T shirt too. I've had more than a few careers and I've encountered bullies in each and every one of them. "What does not kill us makes us stronger" was my motto for...

    A friend bought her degree from the Philippines.

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to thatgirlisangel's topic in General Nursing

    OP, I'd suggest you worry about you and not your "friend", I can almost smell the green tinged sour grapes from here. If she isn't adequately prepared for the NCLEX the problem will sort itself

    Starting in Home Health - Is the Experience Viable?

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to HappierTimesAreComing's topic in General Nursing

    At least in my state, LPNs in home care must be supervised by an RN, so that offers a bit more in the way of support. I totally agree that Home Health Care is not the place to start as a new nurse and...
