   outside_child replied to dannibeeRN's topic in General Nursing

   Was a night person since high school. Love night shift because it is more laid back and you can think. No administrators, less family around, patients and charts where you can find them. Also more money. You have time to take care of some personal bu...

11. please outline for me, a "good" home health agency

    outside_child replied to NurseCard's topic in Home Health

    Yes ma'am Prn is the way to go for any job if you have insurance already. I do PRN at an LTACH and HH agency. I was off every weekend at hospital, but now HH PRN requests on call 1 weekend a month. I never had so much freedom in nursing.
