what are the ramifications of leaving a skilled nursing facility AMA?

Not only are there the risks to your physical well being, as described by the previous respondant, but you also lose many financial benefits. For instance, many insurance plans will cover NONE of your SNF expenses if you leave AMA.

Stay out of healthcare, and ESPECIALLY stay out of nursing.\n\nIf you want to make some money with less stress, consider Physical Therapy if you want to "touch" patients.\n\nIf you don't want to touch patients, consider pharmacy.\n\nIf you want to get spit on, pushed, shoved, sprayed with aids-infested blood, bile, vomit, feces, urine...be a nurse.

Sure.  What reason was this medical resident asked to leave?  The answer to that would trigger whether there is a good legal claim.

depends on what state you are in, if you've worked as a CNA in the past year, etc etc. Post again with those details and we can help you.&#92;\nIt's usually pretty easy...not cheap, but easy.

You will lose time with your family.\nYou will have less time to pursue your hobbies.\nYou may have less time to exercise -- you might get fat.\nYou won't get enough sleep.\nYou may have conflicts between your job and school, for example, you may not be as flexible to travel.\n\nYou may find new skills, improve your career, improve your self image, and improve your satisfaction with your life.\nYou may meet new friends.\nYou may find a new job.\nYou may network with other people in your profession.\nStudies show that maintaining an active mental lifestyle may defer or prevent symptoms of old age including Alzheimer's.\n\nYou may meet a gorgeous, twenty-two year old, nymphomaniac who fawns all over you, divorce your spouse, and buy a two-seat sports car.  Nah! That would never happen.  :)

Each state has an agency that oversees or regulates the nursing home industry.  Do a search on the Internet in an effort to locate yours.  In the meantime, you need to be keeping a journal and document what you believe may be illegal or unethical actions or practices.  Be sure to note who witnessed what, including dates and times.  Keep a small note pad on your person if you need to.\n\nIt sounds as if you are a really caring person and want to do the right thing.  Make sure that the things you are going to report really are illegal or unethical.  If they are, you have an obligation to report it for the greater good of the profession.  Your journal will help in the investigation and possibly protect you.  Hearsay is NOT enough.  An affidavit stating the facts from someone that witnessed an act is the best evidence.\n\nGod bless you.

If your job is so great, I would reconsider leaving. Thank you notes are very nice though, I have never heard of that.

The positives are that there will always be jobs, RN's can get very high salaries and you can have flexible hours as there are many agencies and facilites where you can work "per diem".  (You can actually choose your days and your shifts.)  You can do private duty nursing where you only see one client at a time.  RNs also can go on to get their masters degree and then command an even higher salary.  You might get a really crappy job when you are done with school, but once you put in some time in a hospital or long term care (nursing home) setting and learn some more on the job skills, you can expand your horizons and go into another branch of nursing.\n  those are the pros.  The negative thing is that it is not for everyone.  You have to be a strong (emotionally and physically) person to be a nurse.  You have to have good coordination to use needles and other devices.  You have to be able to think on your feet a lot and make quick decisions.  It can be a very stressful field.  (most often it is!) It is also a major emotional issue knowing that if you make a mistake, someone could die.  (sorry if i'm being too dramatic)  And then there's the whole business of getting used to seeing people die.  When there are people that you can not help, it can be very emotionally painful too.  Mostly, the work is very hard, demanding and fast-paced.  \n    But if you are good at it, it can also be very rewarding.\n \n I have experience in healthcare, although not as an RN.  I worked in long term care as a CNA and considered going to school for RN but then realized it wasn't for me.  \n  You have to consider all the factors and then decide.  \n\nGood luck!

you have to call the facility, each one has its own social worker on sight they can help with any suggestions or questions. what ever you do before you place your loved one in a retirement community . do a pop up visit, go in during lunch and just walk around to see if the residents appear to be getting proper care. this is the busiest time of daay for the staff and you can see for yourself if they are well enough equiped to care for your family member

Usually, the agency will send you to a facility, such as a nursing home. You go in and identify yourself and the charge nurse will tell you where to report and what they want. It is usually passing meds and doing treatments. It is not too much charting, except for skilled charting that has to be done q shift. You can make a lot of money with agency, but be warned that the facility will usually give you the job that other nurses do not want to do. For example, if one hall is harder than the others, that is where you will likely end up. You earn your money working agency!

Not sure what you are referring to. HIPPA? Duty to act? There are lots of areas that have legal ramifications in nursing care.

Loved it. My knees didn't.  It can be very rewarding. It is hard work, very physical, very emotional. It is hard to be a caretaker, even in a temporary situation like a hospital where patients come and go every day, without getting too attached and keeping appropriate boundaries. The nurses supervise. The CNA's are who interact all day every day.\n\nYou can definitely make a difference in people's lives. It is a beautiful thing to be able to come to a person who is scared, vulnerable, and maybe even ashamed and make them feel special. Being able to handle death is a plus. Remeber, it is as natural as being born.\n\nIf you are continuing an education in nursing, the path is a lot easier with CNA work under your belt.

Maybe. If your failure to climb the stairs drastically adversely affects the operation of the company, then maybe you will be encouraged to "retire". I am putting that word in quotation marks because this suggests that you deserve to be given benefits, in case. I don't believe that this condition can be a valid reason to terminate your services without giving you remuneration in return...However, don't take my word for it. For official advice, you may go to the Department of Labor or the Labor Relations Commission or their equivalent agencies in your country. We have these agencies here in the Philippines...Ok?

You can contact a local technical college to get the booklet for your state contacts about the exam to become certified and ask anonymously. Either which way, eventually you will need to be upfrontabout the disability, but as long as you are still able to perform your duties as a nursing assistant, they should not be able to deny you renewal of your certification. If they do deny this right without just cause, I would contact a lawyer.

CNA classes are usually offered for free at nursing homes if you stay and work there.
