  2. Help! Baffled by 'pay per visit' offer

    Libby1987 replied to elimayrn's topic in Home Health

    It always worked out for me to be paid 1.5 times my hourly for a revisit (shortest billable visit) and 3 times my hourly for an admission visit (most time consuming visit). Other visits were weighted...

  7. Home Health ?!

    Libby1987 replied to hnwarden's topic in Home Health

  9. Great opportunity, might lose a friend???

    Libby1987 replied to LVNblue8's topic in Home Health

    You're speaking of your role as if you're an RN case manager but your user name is LVN. Are these intermittent billed visits and who's the payer? Or this some sort of private

  10. What is harder- nursing school or first year working?

    Libby1987 replied to BookishBelle's topic in General Nursing

  11. Great opportunity, might lose a friend???

    Libby1987 replied to LVNblue8's topic in Home Health

    Your explanations get more dramatic and contradictory as you go. Now it's a knife in your back? If that's the case, why are you concerned one iota of losing this friend? I have a bit of experience in...

  14. Assignments 120 miles round trip

    Libby1987 replied to SteveNurse's topic in Home Health

    The 120 mile round trip is irrelevant. Home Health is a driving occupation and your car could only go 10-15 miles. You had unreliable transportation for even a reasonable 35 mile round trip. There's...

  16. Toxic Workplace: have the rose colored glasses fallen off?

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

  17. Doctor upset by charting

    Libby1987 replied to LalaRN9000's topic in General Nursing

  20. Anyone ever feel like this

    Libby1987 replied to iwannabeanursee's topic in General Nursing

  21. Former employer wants me to redo documentation

    Libby1987 replied to michnurse2014's topic in Home Health

    I won't speak to making a late entry but I will say that a few of these comments above dismiss your responsibility working in a licensed capacity. You were responsible to assess every patient for home...

    Libby1987 replied to Carol Ebert's topic in General Nursing
