Questions about Portland,OR home health

[PortlandRN]

I am interested in getting into HH. Does anyone have an inside scoop on Providence, Legacy, or other HH agencies in the Portland area? Specifically, what is the workload like? Are your days doable or do you often feel overwhelmed? Are you expected to see more pts than is possible in an 8 hr shift? What kind of training were you given? Was it enough? (I have a BSN & 2 yrs med/surg experience.) Do you work every other weekend? Do you have to take call? After working in a hosp setting for nearly 2 years, I need something less stress, better hours, and to not regret becoming a nurse at the end of my shift!

Any info would be appreciated. I'll also post in the OREGON forum. Thanks!
