A fellow home health nurse after my own heart :) so Glad to see home health content. Very encouraging. I have heard nothing but good things about HCHB.
Hi Tawanda! I thinking about going back to home health. I’cant tell you how much I appreciate your videos!!! Where did you get the hair cap, what brand?❤

Literally, I am so standing for you making that much money, this would be impossible where I live. So Ia m happy for every colleague who gets that coin. Loving this so much! Plus- your organization game is A level. Chapeau!!!!
I do home health but I'm on the other side of it. Im the care giver. I love the intimate care, but I really would love to have more stability because I do work for myself. When a client pass away I have to wait on or seek another client that can take time. I was thinking about going back to school to become a RN so I can be more flexible in my career and have an increase in my finances. You are amazing. I love your glow and your expertise. Thank you for sharing.
@@see5597 Nursing will definitely give you both: Salary increase, and flexibility. If you are seriously considering do some research and get started. Keep me updated on your journey 😊❤️
Hey I’m working on opening a home care company and want to partner with 1-2 other nurses. I’m ok with opening in any state as long as the need is there, it’s time for us to make are owner opportunities.
By all means, please have conversations with the Deans of the colleges that you wish to consider. Then, you may interview some graduates of the programs that you are considering to determine the time frame for the ROI on the degree program you are considering. Also, free or low-cost degree programs matter. You will do very well.
@@andrealcantaradearaujo1896 Thanks for watching ❤️ I create my own schedule. Some days I work for only one other companies. Other days I work for two of the companies, and often there are days that I work for all three companies. Let me know if this answers your question😊
Hi Lisa, I’m going to do a video on this topic. To give you a quick answer I usually do about 3-5 SOCs on a typical work day. Average time and commute with each patient is about one hour. My at home charting is about 20-25 minutes each patient. Combined field work and at home charting averages out to a 8 hour day for me if I have 5 SOCs. I’ll go into more detail in the video I plan to do about HH Charting. Great question, and thanks for watching 😊
How do you handle scheduling when patients are not agreeing to morning visits? I find when I’m trying to schedule everyone wants visits after like 10-11 and I’m like… ok I can’t wait that long to see 6 people. But I’m not exactly sure how to word that 😅
@@AccordingToTawanda both!!! I feel like I’ve really been catering too much and sacrificing my own time with my son (I’m a single mom) just to please as many people as possible. We are supposed to see 6 units per day, a SOC is 2 but lately they have us with 6 revisits and a SOC on top of that and I just am having trouble keeping up. Not sure if it’s the “case manager” aspect or what but trying to manage 30 people’s supplies and doctors appointments is enough to make me want to pull my hair out 😂 sorry for the rant but it just has me wondering if I’m even cut out for home health
@@maryrudisill2541 I would suggest that you start with the SOC especially if another discipline will be seeing the patient. I usually map out my day and start making my calls. I tell them that I will be out between 8:00 and 8:30A for my first SOC of the day. If they give me any push back I kindly apologize and tell them that I need to get the SOC opened by a certain time. I find the more information you give them the better things go. You can tell them that you need to open the HH case so the other disciplines can come. Most of the time it’s a play of words. If you can get at least one person to let you in early things usually fall into place. I hope this helps 🤞🏾
@@maryrudisill2541 I don’t feel that you are ranting 😂It’s one of the main reasons I do SOCs instead of case management. For me it’s one and done. Once my SOC is completed I move onto the next SOC. How long have you been a Case Manager?
@@ReseS8801 Hi 😊I do about 50% of my chart in the patients home. I’m going to put out a video on charting this month. What EMR system does your company use?
@@lisalegans894 Hi Lisa, I live in Illinois. However, I will be doing an information video on how to get into home health. I plan to have it up soon. Thanks for watching 😊
Yes you be done in the field seeing the patients but you still have to call the MD's, and finish the charting for that day, So 8 hours is really 12-14 or even 16. So don't get it twisted , it always balances out. I use to work like that but after 13 years doing home health NO thank you. It is stressful. I work for 1 company full time 4 days a week based on a point system. and I can pick up but I DO NOT. Home health is good money no matter what, 6 figures as a RN is good and I still do that with 1 full time role.
@@nurseanderson6007 Hi, yes charting and field time balances out. I typically take 3-5 SOCs on the days that I work. My work day usually balances out to around 8 hours. I see 90% Ortho patients which makes my charting repetitive. I love the PRN option because I usually take a week off every month, and don’t care to have a bigger commitment to work at this stage in my life. Definitely good money to be made in home health either way. Thanks for sharing 😊
@@AccordingToTawanda I love prn and travel contract myself. But i can not find good companies no more with nice case loads. i can do 3-4 soc daily too. but most companies here in MI don't have LPN to follow so i have to follow to. This is my first full time and believe me I take off if needed. I control my schedule still. I just needed stability.
@@nurseanderson6007 A lot people are struggling with finding travel contracts right now. Things usually pick up in the Fall/Winter. It’s been years since I did travel nursing. I really wish more LPNs worked HH to allow the RN to truly case manage. This would be an ideal scenario 😊
Thank you for showing the bright side of nursing ❤
