    nurseinmo replied to lwheatley's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    jeannepaul what is the census of the hospice you work for? I just interviewed for a job that sounds a lot like what you are doing. I was told they would pay an hourly/salaried rate for the time and...

  2. Worried about tomorrow

    nurseinmo replied to AtlantaRN's topic in Hospice, Palliative

  6. 485 question

    nurseinmo replied to nurseinmo's topic in Home Health

    nurseinmo replied to nurseinmo's topic in Home Health

  15. Well baby visits

    nurseinmo replied to nurseinmo's topic in Home Health
