    Four month in. Ugh.

    adreamdeferred replied to babynurse73's topic in Home Health

    If this is your first rodeo I would say to give yourself some time, like at least another six months and your improvement will be like night and day. That is the best thing you can do because you need...

    adreamdeferred posted a topic in Home Health

    Okay, I just need to vent real quick before I get knee deep into my paperwork. So my supervisor calls me into her office and talks to me about being too thorough or detailed. She says she got a call...

    Update...I resigned. Way too much going on. I have learned I can only control myself. The funny thing is I communicated the issues I was having and my supervisor claimed my resignation shocked her and...

    adreamdeferred replied to Kell7wrig's topic in Home Health

    If I could absolutely guarantee anonymity I would be more specific, with that being said if you look up home health RN salaries on glassdoor it will give you a really good idea. I actually make more...

    Charting help

    adreamdeferred replied to happymama's topic in Home Health

    That's what was missing. In home care you have to justify why they still need skilled nursing in every note and the documentation should be able to stand alone. If someone randomly chooses to read one...

    adreamdeferred replied to xinah's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Right now a hospital in my city is recruiting for a part time day L & D RN which would be two twelves a week, 16 hours of on call a month and every third weekend. So a little more than part time...

    Newborn Nanny, Should I Return to School for Nursing at 48??

    adreamdeferred replied to sprtngrl47's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think if you want a better shot of getting your hands on some babies you should do nursing. I precepted in OB and they loved me and have been trying to get me in there ever since.They received...

    BE HONEST! What part of your job do you hate?

    adreamdeferred replied to Cheers_G's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Paperwork, paperwork, paperwork is number one for me. Cigarette smoke, pests, pet hair, and people who allow their pets to climb all over me. I understand I'm a guest and they are going to approach me...

    adreamdeferred replied to L.A.W's topic in General Nursing

    You may not need to take NCLEX in the other state. I took NCLEX for my state across the state line because they had an earlier test date than my home state. I believe you can take it anywhere in most...

    adreamdeferred replied to NurseB2014's topic in Home Health

    First, I too am a new grad coming up on completing my first year working. I knew right from the beginning I wanted to do home health after I did my rotation in school. Home health does offer some...

    What is the latest a note can be submitted?

    adreamdeferred replied to CaringInColton's topic in Home Health

    Our company policy is to have all documentation completed by 10 am the next calendar day. It is not always feasible but it's a reasonable guideline to prevent documentation from piling up. I would be...

    Failing Nursing School Over One Class?!!

    adreamdeferred replied to Britgirl1's topic in General Students

    First you have to own up to missing clinical whether you were on the premises or not. Nursing is stressful and you have to be able to overcome such mental blocks or it could cost someone their life....

    Got turned down, keep applying?

    adreamdeferred replied to justdoiting's topic in Psychiatric

    I would keep applying. Maybe she just didn't think you would be a good fit for that department. It takes a certain personality and skill set to work in psyche so don't count yourself out just yet. I...

    Thank you so much for your thoughts. I am leaning toward the MR and SNF positions, again if offered. I like the feeling of small to midsize companies. The acute position appeals to me because I keep...

    adreamdeferred replied to MM008's topic in Home Health

    Don't second guess your decision. It was a wise one not to be pressured into not only providing a skill but teaching one you don't feel you have received adequate training in. Good luck to you as you...
