Did I miss something? This is for a HH nurse to go do home visits? Masters preferred? Seriously? I was an ICU nurse at a high acuity regional hospital, I needed a change, a complete change and went into home health per visit nursing and I have thrive...

We take a rotation that is a ROTATION which means we share it evenly. We do one week night a month and one weekend a month with another RN. Every 4-5 months you have no weekend but do 3 weeknights in the month (that is me this month and I would rathe...
