I never have had 10 or 20 patients! That is insanity. I have a hard time with 7. I hope things are getting better. The LTACH I work at would never give nurses that many patients. How are things going?

I have been offered $100.00 to complete a SOC visit. 2 years ago with another agency it was $75.00.

I work at an LTACH and have been a slow med passer since I started. I try different ways to set up my day and sometimes I can get the meds passed quickly but it is hard to do. I do my assessment during AM med pass. Then I will do the cares like drsg ...

I am in the process of getting accepted into Bradley university as well. I am just so nervous about whether or not I can do well. I also wonder if the recruiters who call you get paid if they sign you up for classes. Hopong to start in the Fall!

I am still working in personal care services. Really I'm surprised no nurses have commented on my post. There are tons of agencies especially in Wisconsin and I would like to start a group of RN supervisors to discuss our Rule and details about our j...

Contact your states nursing association, ask for help. You may really want this job, but there are other jobs out there. Ask yourself? Am I able to provide safe care for my patient? And ask yourself if you are safe or have been provided the tools to ...

Excuse all my darn typos. :writing:I thought getting the Note 3 phone would prevent me from making so many spelling grammatical errors w it's big screen, but I still am not writing as well as I should be. Guess phone size does not matter.

I do not have a copy of my role as ADON. My payment is just the amt I listed aboce. $35 sup visits and $75 comprehensive asssessments/ renewals. I found out today he considers $25 of that for mileage. It was through a agree birds that I would be paid...
