Can anybody tell me what are the rules to be a Don of a privately owned home health that is not accreditied by joint commission. Do you have to work 5 days/ week and be in all the offices under that provider number? Thanks

I di quit I live in louisiana. I handed in my notes and now they are missing and when I called the owner of the company I was told not to worry about the notes they would handle it. I asked her what she meant and she said that she would write a note stated the notes are missing on the patients visits I made. I made copies of the notes and faxed that to her. I do not know what to do,should I report this to Medicare. Alot of things they are doing in that office are illegal and they cover up by lying. I do not want to get my license in trouble. If i call medicare it is my word against there's but i do have copies of the notes.what should I do?

I think I was one of the most horrible nurses when I had my first nursing job but 26 years later I have learned so musch and I do love nursing. I find that what you learn in school doesn't even come close to prepare you when you start work.I started on medsurg and I was slow..but when I moved to er I loved it. You will do fine do not judge yourself too harshly.

Do not know anything about the uniforms but I graduated from Charity in 1988 :)

[Wow I have graduated from Charity in 1988 IT is Delgato now right?

How is excelsior with there BSN prerequistes? I have not been to school in a long time and just wondering how were there course?

I went to a seminar about the oasis and we were told to always answer yes for does the patient have a skin leison..b/c they can have a mold or scar and this is considered a skin leison

I just started at a Home Health agency where I do not know if she is DON or Intake coordinator but she has been there 6 years and I know more than any of the nursed in the office. And the stuff that goes on. She has signed patients names,patients complain about the nurses not going in weeks but there are notes like any visits aren't missed. Has anybody experienced this...No nurses stay there and the nurse before me complained. We complain to administration b/c all the nurses they hire in this particular office, they really give them a hard time. I think it is b/c they are intimidated by nurses who have a lot of experience. Has anybody had to deal with this. I am scared for my license ..I do not know how long I will stay with this company. I think I made a mistake.
