A lot of it has to do with your state I worked in assisted living in arizona and it paid 5.25 an hour and moved to oregon and got basically the same job for 12.00 an hour. But in my experience hospitals pay the best.

If you’re in the 3rd year of a BSN program, you’ve already had a semester of clinicals…why not get a job as a student nurse extern or a student nurse with pay at a hospital? Where I work, we have students that work evenings, weekends, and summer breaks. They are allowed to pass basic meds and take postpartum patients with an RN overseeing them. Most start off around 14.00 an hour and they easily transition into grad nurses and RNs.

The negatives: Casinos and gambling (money and wealth – lack of or too much) seem to be the only things valued in Las Vegas, the weather is terrible – broiling hot in summer and cold in winter. Not much to do.

Regarding the patient, recertification means that the doctor must re-certify that the patient is actually homebound and therefore eligible for home health care. In some instances, the doctor is willing to do this without a visit; in other instances the patient must go to the doctor to be re-evaluated for homebound status.

Home Health patients must be homebound. This generally means unable to leave the home without assistance. Many home health patients are Medicare patients, and Medicare does not want to pay for healthcare workers to come to the home unless the patient cannot easily leave his/her home.

Homebound status is often temporary. I have worked for two home health agencies that visited patients in their teens and twenties for temporary health problems, such as trying to ride a skateboard down a staircase and ending up with badly broken bones and a bone infection.

If they are not competent to be independent, and there is no one looking after them, the state becomes their guardian. A person is assigned to be their guardian (along with dozens of others) and makes the decisions about their future. There are professional guardians of adults who are paid a monthly stipend to do this. They usually have little or no contact with the person. If they live in a state with institutions that is where they most likely will end up, if not in a group home. It is unlikely they would end up in assisted living unless they or someone else advocated on their behalf to live as independently as possible.

If they are competent and are considered not to need a guardian – they become an adult on SSI and get 7.00 to do with what they like. Truth be told, most of these folks end up homeless on the streets or in jail for committing minor infractions of the law.

If you adopt your disabled foster child, any support provided by the US government ends when they turn 22. If the government was more far sighted they would realize that parental involvement last a lifetime – and that the cost to support a family to provide long term care is a pittance compared to the cost of institutionalization in a care facility or a prison.

My great great grandfather was 99 years old and could not even move his limbs, and could barely speak. He had home health care because he did not want to die in a hospital, and was instead brought back to my grandmother’s house and still needed to be cared for. He worked from the age of 14 until he was 70.

So to answer your question, no.

It depends on the interviewer as to what questions they will ask but there are very specific things you need to keep in mind. You need to convey that you will be dependable and come to work when you are scheduled, that you will be flexible with your time and be willing to cover shifts at the last minute if you are called upon, and that you plan on sticking around for a while. Other things that are important to employers is that you are able to get along with your co-workers, you take initiative to do extra things rather than waiting to be told and that if you have job related problems you go to your supervisor instead of complaining to your co-workers. Any time you interview for a job working with the elderly you must come across as having a lot of patience and compassion even when you are being cussed out. If you are a CNA I’m sure you are already aware of the yukky stuff like cleaning pee and poop and giving showers to perverted old men. Convey that you can handle those situations any time they come up. As far as the “What is your greatest weakness” question, yes many people ask that question. A good answer would be “Well, I wouldn’t necessarily say it was a weakness but I would like to strengthen my organizational/communication/problem solving (pick one) skills.” Then make some sort of statement as to why you want to strengthen those skills. (ie; if you choose organizational skills you could say “sometimes my room/house gets a little cluttered and I have to take a weekend to get everything organized.) Or, if you are young, you could say “Well, there are probably a lot of areas I need more experience in but I wouldn’t say they are weaknesses.)
Make good eye contact and offer a FIRM handshake when you meet your interviewer. Be confident. Good Luck to you.

I don’t know exactly what you mean by a “policy”. If you think there is neglect you have to go to the nursing home and get proof, bruises, bed sores etc. They you report it to the head of the nursing home.
