  2. Electronic Charting

    Libby1987 posted a topic in Home Health

    We're one of the last hold outs on launching our EMR so if this has already been covered extensively, a link would be great. Our 1st month was rough, now I have a fairly good grasp of our program but...

  4. Electronic Charting

    Libby1987 replied to Libby1987's topic in Home Health

    Thank you! I'm not sure how to interpret "several hours". I'm hoping no more than 3. Would you say with your experience with different software that once familiar they're all about the same from a...

  7. Electronic Charting

    Libby1987 replied to Libby1987's topic in Home Health

    Yes good point, that's true. I've gotten a much better grip on electronic charting now as well as an understanding of our software, SunCoast. I think I can update my question to home health nurses in...

  9. Should and do fnp's room their pt's

    Libby1987 replied to ozarkstumpjump's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  10. Should and do fnp's room their pt's

    Libby1987 replied to ozarkstumpjump's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Not a NP, but isn't that about how many patients an MD sees in a clinic day, on top of NP/PA oversight? And every NP/PA I've seen had some kind of assistant room me but not always a

    Libby1987 replied to anon456's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  12. PRN--ON CALL

    Libby1987 replied to RNRN_DAY's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Agree, I bet there is a misunderstanding. I'm home health and we receive a flat rate for being on call for a 12 hr period then paid visit rate and mileage (or hourly if we're hourly staff) for any...

  13. Asking for salary raise.

    Libby1987 replied to nursefromcali's topic in General Nursing

    We have staff who are never late and perform beyond expectations, be prepared for that to come up. If you are an experienced nurse and difficult to replace it might not be a big deal, but if this is...

  14. Do what I "should" or do what I want?

    Libby1987 replied to melme's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure the full question. What do you want to do, for your living, and what does it take to make that happen? If being a camp nurse (whatever you specifically want to do) requires 2 years adult...

  15. Tolerance and acceptace of gay nurses and patients

    Libby1987 replied to anon456's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's disheartenimg to hear of this still going on amongst healthcare peeps, I'd have expected something

  16. Loans and job

    Libby1987 replied to mgandy87's topic in General Nursing

    OP didn't mention having kids or spouse, I'd move to where the wages are highest and rent a room and get that loan paid off not in 10-20 yrs but in the next few years, so you can have a future. An...

  17. skeptical of another nurse

    Libby1987 replied to The Bell Jar's topic in General Nursing

    It's a paradox isn't how some people can get through an interview of at least their peers while others who have their stuff together can't find a

  18. What is the draw to nursing these days

    Libby1987 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've been isolated in an apparently small corner of the nursing world and it wasn't until I started hanging out here that I've caught up on the current state of nursing*. I've read that it's usually...

  19. Loans and job

    Libby1987 replied to mgandy87's topic in General Nursing

  21. Loans and job

    Libby1987 replied to mgandy87's topic in General Nursing

    So lousy insurance? That's too bad. The prestige of the hospital shouldn't matter, OOP doesn't change based on that, amd I'd think under an emergency situation you would have had out of network...

  22. skeptical of another nurse

    Libby1987 replied to The Bell Jar's topic in General Nursing

    Well if you're new then you will have to be more professionally diplomatic, or diplomatically professional, IOW a prompt unbiased objective report. I'd rather just call my admin who knows me well and...

  23. A potential nursing student seeks realistic advice/outlook

    Libby1987 replied to Markman122's topic in General Nursing

    I love my job but your reasons for not liking teaching may also be the same you run into in nursing. If this were a different time and you could simply choose the area of nursing you want to get into...
