  1. Home Health...good option for RN with bad back

    i will suggest you not to go home health because it is hard labor work. you have to bent your back all the time when you give pt care beside their beds. in hospital you can adjust bed height so you do not have to bent, but at home, lots of time you h...

  3. If you accept a job, stay at least a year

  4. When is enough enough?

  7. Oasis charting: OASIS-C1 form starts 1/1/15

    my suggestion for LPN friends is always that getting your RN asap. the hh i worked, they hired two LPN but only for office work. one as scheduler and one for admission and other paperwork. both of them hired later than me and quit way before me.
  8. Is lying the new norm?

  14. Im Out!

    you talk about the right way of hh. but how many can really help prevent readmission? how many has experienced nurses with good attitude to really want to protect their patients. at least as i know, this area readmission rate is still sky high. so wh...
  15. Im Out!

    i just made decision after work for 8 months. i saw most experienced RNs either left or upgrade to office jobs. field nurses are poor. clinic conference per week, new hire meeting per two week and whenever they want to, manditory meeting per two week...
