Does anyone work COC for more than one employer?

I'm a first year nursing student (I'm only going part time though), and am working as a PCA casual on call. Because there are so many empty beds, I'm really not getting called in much, as a matter of fact I just today got called in for the first time in 6 weeks! I love working there though when I do get called, so I want to stay, but I'd like to have more hours and I know I won't be getting them there any time soon.

There is a home care agency that is hiring casual on call CNA's, and I'm thinking of applying there. But I don't know if it's acceptable to work for two different places? I'm not sure what I would say on my resume, how I would explain that I am currently working and intend on staying there? And do I need to tell my current employer if I were to get the second job? I work so few hours, and from the job description it seems that the home care agency doesn't have a lot of hours to offer either. I thought between the two I might get closer to what I'd like to be working for hours, and also get some experience in a little different area than what I"m doing right now.

Any advice is appreciated!

I feel your pain!! I've been at my facility for over 9 months & I only work every other weekend. So I went to another facility that had a PRN position & the HR manager asked me why I was looking for another job.. I told her my problem & she said she may be able to offer me regular part time hours! So I say go talk to some other facilities & agencies..they may be able to offer you more hours. I don't think you working PRN at the other facility will be a problem. Good luck to you :)

I work for a home health care agency, and will start at an assisted living within the week. Staying with the home health and which is part time and the other is part time.

Home health care is great, hope the assisted living place is also

Good Luck
