Hospice RNCM

I am a hospice RN Case Manager who was up till recently, working fulltime for a Hospice provider in Texas. I have been with this company for 3 years, have been a stellar performer, and have never had a disciplinary action taken against me. Sever...

I have another job now. and I did file for unemployment and got it too. They didn't forget my nbr, they just wanted me to quit. I asked them several times if I could fill in on weekday oncall, or help another nurse who said she needed help and eac...

Oh I knew that...I just wanted to hear from anybody who may have been down that road before, and what the result was.

Thk you for your response....just to clarify, they didn't can me just because I was making too many visits, in fact the company wants us to make lots of visits, in fact the more visits the better. There is a quota of visits per discipline. RN's h...

I am a Hospice RN Case manager who just changed jobs for a variety of reasons, one of which was the new management's insistence that all field staff meet a certain quota of visits per week. RN's are expected to make 27 visits a week, LVN's 32 visi...

But they won't as long as Medicare keeps paying them for services provided

wow your company's priority is admissions, and the one I just left had numbers of visits as priority. Either way, it's abusive to the staff.

wel things came to a head today...one of our LVN's got busted down to parttime, and another RN put in 2 week notice. When the RN was asked why she wanted to quit, she told them "You better wake up and smell the coffee because all your field staff h...

well things came to a head this morning at my old job...one of the LVN's had the same thing happen to her as happened to me, summarily reduced down to part-time, despite being a hard worker and a stellar performer. In her case she was complaining f...

I have already resigned and found a new job....several other field staff are wanting to leave also soon as other jobs can be found. what do you think about what they are wanting to do to the SWs and chaplains.

As an RN, I signed up to be a fulltime Hospice Case Manager with expected hours from 8-5 daily, for a salary of $72K/Yr. I am expected to be oncall at least 3 times each month and back up the weekday oncall nurse. Until recently we were also expe...

All, I am a Hospice RN Case Manager with 11 years experience. I recently left a company I had worked for nearly 5 years. When I first began with them, it was a very good environment, almost familial. But in the last year or so, it deteriorat...

The reason I am asking is one of the RN's who had been in the office and then forced out told me she got a settlement through the State Workforce Commission for "toxic work environment". Of course the difference was she was out-and-out fired. Re...

Woody im the OP on this thread. I just want to add that shortly after this charge nurse was fired the nurse manager, nurse administration and hospital administration called all of us to a meeting. They made it very clear that calling the police is de...

The fired nurse should immediately contact an attorney, and, poss an investigative news agency from their local TV. What kind of msg does this send to other nurses who dpn't want to lose their jobs but don't want the hassle of dealing with an unre...

I doubt if my family or myself would need to be tazered...I can't imagine a better reason for a nurse to be unable to answer a call button than if the nurse was with another patient....It always satisfied my family.. we know our family member is not ...

Patients like the one you describe are not going to be happy, unless you stay at their side 24/7 and just forget that there are othert patients. Neither they or their families care about what is going on with Mr Smith or Mr Jones, who are both Code...

All, I am an RN, ADN working at a local nursing home/rehab ctr. During the past 3 months, I have seen everyone from the ADON's (2 of them) to the Administrator either fired or resigned. The new DON ironically was the same one who interviewed me...

Yes it has been a LONG time since I visited this thread. Yes, life did change a lot. For one thing, I got the h$#@! out of there, after the then-ADON's in charge (there was still no DON) had me transferred to a new wing, then saddled me with ...

Because then they can blame it on the nurse who wrote the falsified info in case it comes back to bite them, and claim they didn't know about it. Anytime someone in high position asks someone to do something like that. they are setting that perso...

I was a new RN working my first job at a local Nursing Home and really enjoying it there, when some things just started happening. It started with the abrupt firing of the home's administrator, a man who I had come to respect and admire as a real...

To all, I am a Hospice RN/Case Manager who just recently assumed care of an elderly Nursing home Pt who has a son who is an ER Doctor. This man is completely involved in the care of his mother...can't blame him for that,.....except that we can't d...

the saga of the "good son" continues unabated. today our hospice team had an interdisciplinary team, which is where we get together for an hour to talk over what's been going on with our patients and what we are doing or what we would like to do ab...

The lady has been a resident of the nursing home for over 4 years. In that time, the son has hired and fired 3 other hospice service providers besides us, and has also fired three different attending doctors from the case. The DON has told me that...

Shuu says "I think the son should come in and assist or just watch for a few days while you do the dressing change, maybe seeing his mother writhe in pain may snap him into reality. I hate when family thinks their loved will get "addicted" when they ...
