   cocot replied to nursynurseRN's topic in Home Health

   Is this an agency or hospital? Home care is full of angry and disturbed patients (and family). She should have spoken to you first. You must be in an area that is saturated with home care nurses. Where I live its hard to find and keep a HH nurse.

    cocot replied to lmsBSN's topic in Home Health

    That sounds horrible! Sounds like slave labor! Where is this happening? Call the state labor department. We have a regular working day. Staff volunteer for on-call. And yes we get paid for overtime.
