Chicago, I was offered 70 SOC, 60 recert, 50 visits. Can't remember dc. No mileage. But I took another job @ 70 SOC and recert, 45 all else. No mileage.

How long do u typically stay for regular visit. ( sorry for typo)

My reg visits run 40 min even if all goes well. Is this too long? I can be done earlier but they want ro seem to gab

Squeege i was. Wondering too if u have copy of soc cheat sheet that u would like to share

As always thanks for input, we help each and learn from each other.

Thanks, i think i'll make a cheat sheet too! Love the idea

Do you spend the 2.5-3 hours at the. House with the pt? Or do you spend an hour with the pt and the rest somewhere else filling out paperwork. I'm new and it takes me 2 hours with the pt, filling out oasis, then I go home and spend another 30 min filling in what ever I skimmed over. Is this average? Like I said someone told me it takes them an hour.

Hasn't happened. What if pt needs ambulance but doesn't want to go bc of the cost, or whatever? Can I still call if I feel it is warranted? Bc the pt can refuse the ambulance, therefore I covered my A, along with documentation. Or should I just call supervisor, and Dr, and document.

What is the average time to start a pt. It takes me about 2 hrs and I use the oasis page by page. Others tell me they do it in an hour, others tell me they don't use the oasis in front of the pt, but rather fill it out after the visit.

Yes thanks

Acls is for er, I looked into dm educator but I don't have enough time in the field yet

Always thanks to all who reply.

Pt complains of freq night urination. Lasix bid. He takes 8am & then 7pm. I believe the 7 is too late, can he take 2nd dose at 4:30 instead of 7pm
