New job home health hospice

[sameasalways, ASN, RN]

I have applied for this job. It is a 30 minute drive during good traffic. They said I would get 4-5 patients a day and that it is 8-5 mon-fri and that we are paid hourly. The area is kind of spread out in that town but she said I would get the southern part which is closer to where I live. I think I would love hospice nursing. I am just wondering what I should be looking for with a home health hospice position. I know this sounds weird too but I was thinking a lot of these people must be on some heavy narcotics..how do you give narcotics at home in a safe manner so that you can't be accused of stealing them or something???? I am sorry I have been working in a hospital for 3 years and narcotics are counted and witnessed when wasted, ect. So it does make me nervous about doing that in a home by myself. (I think I would love the job, FYI, I just am unsure of what constitutes a "good" home health set-up/employment/agency). Thanks so much!
